and obligations of, a “Term Lender” under this Agreement.
SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.
(a) Obligations of Lenders. Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as part of a
Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans of the same Type and Currency made by the Revolving Credit
Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments. The failure of
any
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-34-
Revolving Credit Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan required to be made by it shall not
relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Revolving
Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders are several and no Revolving Credit Lender shall
be responsible for any other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to make Revolving Credit Loans as
required.
(b) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.12, each Borrowing shall be comprised
entirely of ABR Loans or of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in a single Currency as the Borrowers
may request in accordance herewith. Each ABR Loan shall be denominated in Dollars. Each Revolving
Credit Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign
branch or Affiliate of such Revolving Credit Lender to make such Revolving Credit Loan; provided
that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such
Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. Each Eurocurrency Borrowing
shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
Each ABR Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that a Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate
amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Revolving Credit Commitments or that
is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.04(f).
Borrowings of more than one Class, Type and Currency may be outstanding at the same time; provided
that there shall not at any time be more than a total of fourteen Eurocurrency Borrowings
outstanding.
(d) Limitations on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request (or to elect to convert to or continue as
a Eurocurrency Borrowing):
(i) any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end
after the Maturity Date; or
(ii) any Term Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the
Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.03 Requests for Borrowings.
(a)
Notice by the Borrowers. To request a Borrowing, the Borrowers shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (i) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing
denominated in Dollars, not later than 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, two Business Days before the

Foreign Currency, not later than 10:00 a.m., London time, four Business Days before the date of the
proposed Borrowing, or (iii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m.,
New York

irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative
Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by
the Borrowers.
(b) Content of Borrowing Requests. Each telephonic and written Borrowing Request
shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Revolving Credit Borrowing or a Term
Loan Borrowing;
(ii) the aggregate amount and, in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, the
Currency of the requested Borrowing;
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-35-
(iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iv) in the case of a Term Borrowing or of a Revolving Credit Borrowing denominated in
Dollars, whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;
(v) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall
be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under
Section 2.02(d);
(vi) the identity of the Borrower that is to receive the proceeds of such Borrowing;
and
(vii) the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which funds are
to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.05.
(c) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of
a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each
Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the
requested Borrowing.
(d) Failure to Elect. If no election as to the Currency of a Revolving Credit
Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be denominated in
Dollars. If no election as to the Type of a Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing
shall be an ABR Borrowing unless such Borrowing is a Revolving Credit Borrowing as to which an
Agreed Foreign Currency has been specified, in which case the requested Revolving Credit Borrowing
shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency. If no Interest
Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Borrowers shall be
deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
SECTION 2.04 Letters of Credit.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the
Loans provided for in Section 2.01, the Borrowers may request any Issuing Bank to issue, at any
time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, Letters of Credit
denominated in Dollars or any Agreed Foreign Currency for the account of a Borrower or a Subsidiary
of a Borrower in such form as is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its reasonable determination.
Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Credit
Commitments.
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension. To request the issuance of a
Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the
Borrowers shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements
for doing so have been approved by the respective Issuing Bank) to an Issuing Bank selected by them
with a copy to the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or
identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such
Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section), the amount
and Currency of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such
other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.
If requested by the respective Issuing Bank, the Borrowers also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection
with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-36-
submitted by the Borrowers to, or entered into by the Borrowers with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter
of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
(c) Limitations on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or
extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the
Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (i) the total LC Exposures shall not exceed $150,000,000 and (ii)
the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments.
(d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date twelve months after the date of the issuance of such Letter
of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, twelve months after the
then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit) and (ii) the date that is three Business
Days prior to the Maturity Date.
(e) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by any Issuing Bank, and without any further action
on the part of such Issuing Bank or the Revolving Credit Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants
to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing
Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each
Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations
pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of
the Revolving Credit Commitments.
In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for account of
the respective Issuing Bank, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar
Equivalent of each LC Disbursement made by an Issuing Bank promptly upon the request of such
Issuing Bank at any time from the time of such LC Disbursement until such LC Disbursement is
reimbursed by the Borrowers or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be
refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner
as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Revolving Credit Loans made by such Revolving Credit
Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving
Credit Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective Issuing Bank the
amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any
payment from the Borrowers pursuant to the next following paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payment to the respective Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Revolving Credit
Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such
Revolving Credit Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by
a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC
Disbursement shall not constitute a Revolving Credit Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of
their obligations to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f)
Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Bank in respect of such LC
Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such
LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon,
New York City time, on the Business Day immediately
following the day that any Borrower receives such notice;
provided that the Borrowers may, subject
to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such
payment be financed with a Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing in the Dollar Equivalent amount and, to
the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and
replaced by the
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-37-
resulting Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing. If the Borrowers fail to make such
payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the
applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such
Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.
(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as
provided in paragraph (f) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and
shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all
circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented
under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective
Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does
not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or
circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the
provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of
setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder, except in each case for errors or omissions
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank or its employees or
agents.
No Issuing Bank shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with
the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the respective Issuing Bank or any payment or
failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the
preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or
delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit
(including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the respective Issuing
Bank, except in each case for errors or omissions resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Issuing Bank or its employees or agents; provided that the foregoing shall not
be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct
damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the
Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by
such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents
presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly
agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing
Bank, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of
Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in accordance with the standard of
care specified in the NYUCC, shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any
liability of such Issuing Bank to the Borrowers.
(h) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall, within
a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a
demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such
examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers by telephone (confirmed by telecopy)
of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement
thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the
Borrowers of their obligations to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with
respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(i) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date
such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and
including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers
reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that,
if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this
Section, then the rate
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-38-
specified in Section 2.11(c) shall apply on each such past-due day. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of such Issuing Bank, except that
interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to
paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for account of such Revolving
Credit Lender to the extent of such payment.
(j) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time at
the designation of the Borrowers and the consent of the successor Issuing Bank (with notice to the
Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any
such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the
Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.10(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor
Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement
with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the
term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous Issuing Bank, or such
successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of
an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue
to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue
additional Letters of Credit.
(k) Cash Collateralization. If either (i) the Loans shall have been accelerated
pursuant to Section 8.01 (an “Acceleration Event”) or (ii) the Borrowers shall be required
to provide cover for LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.09(b) or Section 2.19(d)(ii), the Borrowers
shall immediately deposit into an account designated by the Administrative Agent an amount in
Dollars in cash equal to, in the case of an Acceleration Event, the Dollar Equivalent of the
aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit as of such date and, in the case of
cover pursuant to Section 2.09(b), the amount required under Section 2.09(b), as the case may be.
The Borrowers shall not at any time thereafter permit the amount of such deposit to be less than
the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at such
time. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and
performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent
shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such
account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments
shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent in Permitted
Investments and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such
account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC
Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held
for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such
time or, with the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50%
of the total LC Exposure, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this
Agreement.
SECTION 2.05 Funding of Borrowings
(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder
on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local
Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by
promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrowers
designated by the Borrowers in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Revolving Credit ABR
Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(f)
shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the respective Issuing Bank.
(b)
Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date (or, in the case of any ABR
Borrowing, prior to 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the date such ABR
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-39-
Borrowing is to be made) of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share
available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a
Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative
Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment
to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrowers 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 Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by
the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the
Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may
have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 2.06 Interest Elections.
(a) Elections by the Borrowers. The Loans comprising each Borrowing initially shall
be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency
Borrowing (other than any Eurocurrency Borrowing made pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or Section
2.01(b)), shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the
Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue
such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may
elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided that (i) a Borrowing
denominated in one Currency may not be continued as, or converted to, a Borrowing in a different
Currency, (ii) no Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may be continued if,
after giving effect thereto, the aggregate
Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) a
Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may not be converted to a Borrowing of a
different Type and (iv) the Borrowers may at any time during the pendency of an Interest Period for
any Eurocurrency Loan provide an Interest Election Request hereunder to select a new Interest
Period for such Eurocurrency Loan, the applicable LIBO Rate for such Eurocurrency Loan to be
effective on the Business Day specified in such request, which effective date shall be not less
than the second Business Day following such request (and such request shall otherwise be given in
accordance with, and comply with the requirements, if applicable, of, paragraph (c) below), in
which case the relevant Lenders shall be entitled to receive amounts payable under Section 2.15 as
if such Lenders had received a prepayment of such Loan on such effective date. The Borrowers may
elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case
each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrowers
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing
Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Borrowing of the
Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such
telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrowers.
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-40-
(c) Content of Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest
Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof
to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified
pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the resulting
Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period
therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the
definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d).
(d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of
an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details
thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrowers fail to deliver a timely
and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of
the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Eurocurrency Borrowing is repaid as provided
herein, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so notifies the Borrowers, then, so
long as an Event of Default is continuing (A) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in Dollars may
be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (B) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency
Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period
therefor and (C) no outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may have
an Interest Period of more than one month’s duration.
SECTION 2.07 Termination and Reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments.
(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or
from time to time reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) each partial
reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be in an amount that
is $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrowers shall not
terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent
prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the total Revolving
Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments.
(c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrowers shall notify the
Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under
paragraph (b) of this Section at least two Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly
following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments delivered
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-41-
by the Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied.
(d) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving
Credit Commitments shall be permanent. Subject to Section 2.19(h), each reduction of the Revolving
Credit Commitments shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with
their respective Revolving Credit Commitments.
SECTION 2.08 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) Repayment. The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay the Loans as
follows:
(i) to the Administrative Agent for account of the Revolving Credit Lenders the
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans on the Maturity Date,
(ii) to the Administrative Agent for account of the Term Lenders the outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loans on each Principal Payment Date falling in the month and
year set forth below in the aggregate principal amount equal to (A) the percentage set forth
opposite such Principal Payment Date multiplied by (B) the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Term Loans as of the Amendment Effective Date, subject to adjustment pursuant
to paragraph (b) of this Section:

In addition to the foregoing, if any Obligor incurs any Subordinated Indebtedness that
requires pursuant to the terms thereof a redemption or principal repayment with respect to such
Subordinated Indebtedness prior to the date that is six months after the Maturity Date in an
aggregate principal amount for all such redemptions and repayments exceeding $250,000,000 (the
first date on which the aggregate principal amount of all such redemptions and repayments made on
or prior to such date shall exceed $250,000,000, the “Test Date”), then on the date of the
incurrence of such Subordinated Indebtedness:
(A) the Maturity Date shall be brought forward such that the Maturity Date shall occur
on the date (the “Accelerated Maturity Date”) that is six months prior to the Test
Date; and
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-42-
(B) the amortization schedule for the Term Loans contained in paragraph (a)(ii) of this
Section shall be adjusted by adding to the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans required
to be repaid on the Accelerated Maturity Date an amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of Term Loans scheduled to be repaid after the Accelerated Maturity Date (as
determined before the incurrence of such Subordinated Indebtedness).
(b) Adjustment of Amortization Schedule. Any prepayment of the Term Loans shall be
applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Loans to be made pursuant to this
Section in accordance with Section 2.09.
(c)
Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any
Class hereunder, and subject (in the case of a prepayment) to any applicable provisions of Section
2.09, the Borrowers shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be paid and
shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not
later than 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, two Business Days before (or, in the case of ABR
Borrowings, the same Business Day of) the scheduled date of such repayment;
provided that each
repayment of Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to repay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of
such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class. If the Borrowers fail to make a timely
selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied,
first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the applicable Class and, second, to other
Borrowings of such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest
Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each
payment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.
(d) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with
its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting
from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts and Currency of principal and interest
payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(e) Maintenance of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount and Currency of each Loan made
hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount and
Currency of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount and Currency of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(f) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to
paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section shall be presumptively correct evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any
manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
(g) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note, which promissory note shall (i) in the case of any Revolving Credit
Loan, be substantially in the form of Exhibit F and (ii) in the case of any Term Loan, be
substantially in the form of Exhibit G. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and
deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender,
to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory
notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered
note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.09 Prepayment of Loans.
(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from
time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to
the requirements of this Section. Any prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this paragraph
shall be applied to the installments thereof in the manner directed by the Borrowers.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments—Revolving Credit Loans—Foreign Currency Valuations. On
each Quarterly Date prior to the Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the
aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure. For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding
principal amount of any Loan that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the
Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such Loan, determined as of such
Quarterly Date. If on the date of such determination the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure
exceeds the sum of (i) 105% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments as then in
effect plus (ii) the amount then on deposit in the account contemplated by Section 2.04(k), the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrowers thereof and the Borrowers
shall, within five Business Days after their receipt of such notice, prepay the Revolving Credit
Loans (and/or provide cover for LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.04(k)) in such amounts as
shall be sufficient to eliminate such excess.
(c)
Notices, Etc. The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency
Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time (or, in the case of a Borrowing
denominated in a Foreign Currency, 11:00 a.m., London time), two Business Days before the date of
prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify
the prepayment date, the principal
amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory
prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment;
provided that, if a
notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the
Revolving Credit Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07, then such notice of prepayment may be
revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise
the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in
an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in
Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment.
Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid
Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section
2.11 and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, including under Section 2.15. Amounts
prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
SECTION 2.10 Fees.
(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for
account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue on the average daily unused amount of
the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Amendment
Effective Date to but excluding the date such Revolving Credit Commitment terminates at a rate per
annum equal to the Applicable Rate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on each
Quarterly Date and on the date the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on December
31, 2011. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
For purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments, the
Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender.
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-44-
(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the respective Issuing
Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% on the average daily amount of the LC
Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the
period from and including the Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC
Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder, and (ii) to the
Administrative Agent for account of each Revolving Credit Lender a participation fee with respect
to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue on the average daily amount of such
Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements)
during the period from and including the Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the later of the
date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such
Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Applicable Rate
applicable to interest on Revolving Credit Eurocurrency Loans minus (ii) the fronting fee referred
to in clause (i) above. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each
Quarterly Date shall be payable on the third Business Day following such Quarterly Date, commencing
on December 31, 2011; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the
Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the
Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any
Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 Business Days after receipt of a
reasonably detailed written invoice therefor. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon
between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.
(d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the respective Issuing
Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and
participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances.
SECTION 2.11 Interest.
(a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) Eurocurrency Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such
Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest
on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due,
whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue
amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in
the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as
provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as
provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.
(d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on
each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, upon
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand, (ii) in the event of any
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-45-
repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Revolving Credit ABR Loan
prior to the Maturity Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be
payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor,
accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days
(or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate
or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall
be presumptively correct absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of
the Borrowers, deliver to the Borrowers a statement showing the quotations used by the
Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section
2.11(b).
SECTION 2.12 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Loan (the Currency of
such Loan herein called the “Affected Currency”):
(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
presumptively correct absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the
relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted
LIBO Rate for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period, or
(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders in
respect of the relevant Facility that by reason of any changes arising after the Amendment
Effective Date the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Affected Currency determined or to be
determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders (as certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during
such Interest Period,
then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant
Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, (i) if the Affected Currency
is Dollars (x) any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility requested
to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans
denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first
day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any
outstanding Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility shall be
converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period with respect thereto, to ABR Loans
or (ii) if the Affected Currency is an Agreed Foreign Currency, the request for any Eurocurrency
Loans under the relevant Facility to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be
ineffective. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (which action the
Administrative Agent will take promptly after the conditions giving rise to such notice no longer
exist), no further Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as
such, nor shall the Borrowers have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to
Eurocurrency Loans. If the Borrowers are not permitted to continue a Eurocurrency Loan which is
denominated in a Foreign Currency pursuant to this Section, such Eurocurrency Loan shall
automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the last day of the applicable Interest Period in an
amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof.
SECTION 2.13 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement
of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case, first made after the
Amendment Effective Date, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency
Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof (a
“Rate Determination Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, and (a) the
commitment
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-46-
of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans, continue Eurocurrency Loans as such
and convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended during the period of such
illegality, (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars,
if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans denominated in Dollars on the respective last
days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period
as required by law and (c) (i) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans
denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency, if any, shall be converted automatically on the
respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans (an
“Affected Interest Period”) to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such Agreed Foreign
Currency having the next shortest Interest Period which is not affected by such adoption of or
change in any Requirement of Law and (ii) if all Interest Periods are Affected Interest Periods in
respect of such Eurocurrency Loans denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency, during the 30-day
period following any such Rate Determination Notice (the “Negotiation Period”) the
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing upon a
substitute interest rate basis which shall reflect the cost to the applicable Lenders of funding
such Loans from alternative sources (a “Substitute Basis”), and if such Substitute Basis is
so agreed upon during the Negotiation Period, such Substitute Basis shall apply in lieu of the
Adjusted LIBO Rate to all Interest Periods for the Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such Agreed
Foreign Currency of the applicable Lenders commencing on or after
the first day of an Affected Interest Period, until the circumstances giving rise to such Rate
Determination Notice have ceased to apply. If a Substitute Basis is not agreed upon during the
Negotiation Period, each affected Lender shall determine (and shall certify from time to time in a
certificate delivered by such Lender to the Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail
the basis of the computation of such amount) the rate basis reflecting the cost to such Lender of
funding its Eurocurrency Loan denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency for any Interest Period
commencing on or after the first day of an Affected Interest Period, until the circumstances giving
rise to such Rate Determination Notice have ceased to apply, and such rate basis shall be
presumptively correct, absent manifest error, and shall apply in lieu of the Adjusted LIBO Rate for
the relevant Interest Periods. If a Rate Determination Notice has been given, then until such Rate
Determination Notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no Eurocurrency Loans of the
applicable Lenders denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency shall have an Interest Period having
a duration equal to an Affected Interest Period. The Borrowers may elect to prepay the
Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency of the applicable Lenders pursuant
to Section 2.09(a) at any time; provided that if the Borrowers elect not to prepay such
Eurocurrency Loans and the Borrowers are not permitted to continue such Eurocurrency Loan pursuant
to this Section, such Eurocurrency Loan shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the last
day of the applicable Interest Period in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof. If any
such conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amounts,
if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.15. For the purposes of this Section, (x) the
Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, regulations, orders,
requests, guidelines or directives thereunder
or issued in connection therewith and (y) all rules,
regulations, orders, requests, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International
Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or
the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in
each case be deemed to have been adopted and gone into effect from and after the Amendment
Effective Date.
SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. Except with respect to Taxes (which shall be governed
by Section 2.16), if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
first made, in each case, subsequent to the Amendment Effective Date:
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-47-
(i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, any requirement to maintain
liquid assets, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held
by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other
extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender
that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate hereunder; or
(ii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition not otherwise contemplated
hereunder;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which
such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining
Eurocurrency Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit (in each case hereunder), or to
reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers
shall promptly pay such Lender, in Dollars, within ten Business Days after the Borrowers’ receipt
of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor (showing with reasonable detail the calculations
thereof), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or
reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly
notify the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it
has become so entitled.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or
any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any holding company controlling such Lender
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law)
from any Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the Amendment Effective
Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such holding
company’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any
Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
such holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such
Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such
Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a reasonably detailed written
request therefor (consistent with the detail provided by such Lender to similarly situated
borrowers), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender or such holding company on an after-tax basis for such reduction.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error.
(d) Delay in Requests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the
Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts
incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of such
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise
to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the
period of such retroactive effect.
(e) Xxxx-Xxxxx and Basel III. For the purposes of this Section, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx
Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, regulations, orders, requests,
guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all rules,
regulations, orders, requests, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International
Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or
the United States or foreign regulatory
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-48-
authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in
each case be deemed to have been adopted and gone into effect from and after the Amendment
Effective Date.
SECTION 2.15 Break Funding Payments. The Borrowers agree to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from,
any loss or expense (other than lost profits, including the loss of Applicable Rate) that such
Lender may actually sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by any Borrower in making a
borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a
notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by any
Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has
given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (regardless of whether
such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.09(c) and is revoked in accordance
herewith), (c) the making of a payment, prepayment, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency
Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (including as a
result of an Event of Default) or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrowers
pursuant to Section 2.18(b) of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period therefor. A reasonably detailed certificate as to (showing in reasonable
detail the calculation of) any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the
Borrowers by any Lender shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error. The
Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business
Days after receipt thereof.
SECTION 2.16 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of each Obligor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any
Obligor shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from
such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Obligor shall make such
deductions and (iii) such Obligor shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Obligors. Without limiting the provisions of
paragraph (a) above, the Obligors shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Indemnification by the Obligors. The Obligors shall jointly and severally
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 30 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) paid
by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with
respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Obligors hereunder and any
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate prepared in good faith as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Obligors by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or
an Issuing Bank, shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by any Obligor to a Governmental Authority, such Obligor shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-49-
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 Foreign Lenders. Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and
the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Borrowers and to the Lender from
which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two accurate and complete copies of
IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, or, (ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from United
States federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments
of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit E and two accurate and
complete copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions or successors to such forms, in each
case properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming complete exemption from,
or a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding tax on all payments by an Obligor under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender
on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on
or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Foreign Lender shall
deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by
such Foreign Lender. Each Foreign Lender shall (i) promptly notify the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any
previously delivered certificate to the Borrowers and Administrative Agent (or any other form of
certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose) and (ii) take such
steps as shall not be disadvantageous to it, in its sole judgment, and as may be reasonably
necessary (including the re-designation of its lending office pursuant to Section 2.18(a)) to avoid
any requirement of applicable laws of any such jurisdiction that any Borrower make any deduction or
withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this
paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver. 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 fails 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 Withholding Agent such documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent
sufficient for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine
that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.
(f) Status of U.S. Lenders. Each Lender other than a Foreign Lender (a “U.S.
Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete
copies of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form. Such forms shall be
delivered by each U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In
addition, each U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of
any form previously delivered by such U.S. Lender. Each U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position
to provide any previously delivered certifications to the Borrowers and Administrative Agent (or
any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose).
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender
determines, in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as
to which it has been indemnified by any Obligor or with respect to which any Obligor has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly pay over such refund to such Obligor
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Obligor
under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such
refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund); provided that the applicable Obligor, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Obligor (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-50-
Lender
in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority; provided further that such Obligor shall not be required to repay to the
Administrative Agent or the Lender an amount in excess of the amount paid over by such party to
such Obligor pursuant to this Section. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.
SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.
(a) Payments by the Obligors. Each Obligor shall make each payment required to be
made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or
of amounts payable under Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 2.16, or otherwise), or under any
other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein), prior to 2:00 p.m., Local
Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received
after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have
been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.
All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account,
except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document and except payments to be made
directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Section 2.14,
Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 10.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled
thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of
any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment
hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest
thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension at the then applicable rate. All amounts
owing under this Agreement (including commitment fees, payments required under Section 2.14, and
payments required under Section 2.15 relating to any Loan denominated in Dollars, but not including
principal of, and interest on, any Loan denominated in any Foreign Currency or payments relating to
any such Loan required under Section 2.15, which are payable in such Foreign Currency) or under any
other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) are payable in Dollars.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrowers shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when
due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), the unpaid
portion of such Loan shall, if such Loan is not denominated in Dollars, automatically be
redenominated in Dollars on the due date thereof (or, if such due date is a day other than the last
day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to
the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such principal shall be
payable on demand; and if the Borrowers shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan that is not
denominated in Dollars, such interest shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due
date therefor (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent
thereof on the date of such redenomination and such interest shall be payable on demand.
(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are
received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto
in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to
pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then
due to such parties.
(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein (including
Section 2.19): (i) each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be made from the Revolving Credit
Lenders, each payment of commitment fee under Section 2.10 in respect of the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall be made for account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, and each termination or
reduction of the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments under Section 2.07 shall be applied to
the
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-51-
Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts
of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments; (ii) each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans
shall be allocated pro rata among the Revolving Credit Lenders according to the amounts of their
respective Revolving Credit Commitments (in the case of the making of Revolving Credit Loans) or
their respective Revolving Credit Loans that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of
conversions and continuations of Revolving Credit Loans); (iii) the Borrowing of Term Loans shall
be allocated pro rata among the Term Lenders according to the amounts set forth on Schedule 1
hereto (in the case of the making of Term Loans) or their respective Term Loans that are to be
included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Term Loans); (iv) each
payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans by the Borrowers shall
be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid
principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (v) each payment of interest on
Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans by the Borrowers shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts
of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
(d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. Subject to Section 2.19, 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 its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such
Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued
interest thereon or other such obligations 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 Loans and such other
obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the
benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts
owing them; provided that:
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment
giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
payment made by any Obligor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or
sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any
assignee or participant, other than to any Obligor or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the
provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
Each Obligor 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 each Obligor rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Obligor in the amount of
such participation.
(e) Payments by the Borrowers; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any
payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank
hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount
due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders
or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding
the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-52-
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Agents or any
Lender against the Borrowers.
(f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make
any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(e), 2.05(b), 2.17(e) or 10.03(c)
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision
hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank to satisfy
such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid, and/or (ii) until such time as the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Issuing Banks
each agree that such Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to fail to
make such payment, hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and
application to, any future funding obligations of such
Lender under such Sections; in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as
determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.
SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.16(a) or 2.16(c) with
respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts (subject to
overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans
affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that
(i) such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender
and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage and (ii)
nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the
rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.16(a). The Borrowers hereby agree to pay
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace (at their
sole expense) with a financial institution or financial institutions any Lender that (x) requests
reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15 (to the extent a request made by a
Lender pursuant to the operation of Section 2.15 is materially greater than requests made by other
Lenders) or 2.16 or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.13, (y) is a Defaulting
Lender, or (z) that has refused to consent to any waiver or amendment with respect to any Loan
Document that requires the consent of all of the Lenders and has been consented to by the Required
Lenders; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii)
such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its
Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 2.15) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest
and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) the replacement financial
institution or financial institutions, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank to the extent that an assignment to such replacement
financial institution of the rights and obligations being acquired by it would otherwise require
the consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 10.04, (iv) the
replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.04, (v) the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to
Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such
replacement shall be consummated, (vi) if applicable, the replacement financial institution or
financial institutions shall consent to such amendment or waiver, (vii) any such replacement shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, and (viii) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant
to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter.

SECTION 2.19. Defaulting Lenders.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a
Defaulting Lender:
(a) commitment fees shall cease to accrue from and after the time such Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a);
(b) if such Defaulting Lender is an Issuing Bank, fronting fees shall cease to accrue from and
after the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender on the LC Exposure attributable to Letters
of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i);
(c) the Revolving Credit Commitment, Revolving Credit Exposure and Term Loans, if any, of such
Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders
have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or
modification pursuant to Section 10.02), provided that any amendment, waiver or modification
requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender
differently than other affected Lenders or that would (i) change the percentage of Revolving Credit
Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans or LC Exposures, or the number
of Lenders, that shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder,
(ii) amend Section 10.02 in a manner which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other
Lenders and is adverse to such Defaulting Lender or this Section 2.19, (iii) increase or extend the
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender or subject such Defaulting Lender to any
additional obligations (it being understood that any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of
conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase or
extension of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender or an additional obligation of any
Lender), (iv) reduce the principal of the Loans made by such Defaulting Lender or any LC
Disbursements payable hereunder to such Defaulting Lender or (v) postpone the scheduled date for
any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans made by such Defaulting Lender or any LC
Disbursements payable hereunder to such Defaulting Lender, shall in each case require the consent
of such Defaulting Lender (which consent shall be deemed to have been given if such Defaulting
Lender fails to respond to a written request for such consent within 30 days after receipt of such
written request);
(d) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or at any
time such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender, then:
(i) all or any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting
Lenders in accordance with their respective Adjusted Applicable Percentages but only to the
extent (x) the sum of any Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure plus its
Adjusted Applicable Percentage of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed such
Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) the sum of all Non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not
exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments (it being
understood that such LC Exposure shall not be reallocated after the Revolving Credit
Commitments are terminated on the Maturity Date);
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially,
be effected, the Borrowers shall within three Business Day following notice by the
Administrative Agent cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving
effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2.04(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-54-
(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.19(d), the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any
fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(b) with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure (and such fees shall cease to accrue with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
LC Exposure) during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv) if the LC Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this
Section 2.19(d), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.10(a) and
2.10(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Adjusted
Applicable Percentages; and
(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is not reallocated pursuant to this Section
2.19(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender
hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.10(b) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank(s) until
such LC Exposure is reallocated;
(e) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue,
extend or increase any Letter of Credit unless such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that would
result from such newly issued, extended or increased Letter of Credit has been or would be, at the
time of such issuance, extension or increase, fully allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant
to Section 2.19(d)(i) or fully cash collateralized by the Borrowers pursuant to Section
2.19(d)(ii);
(f) in the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Issuing Banks each agree
that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a
Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion
of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Defaulting Lender
shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall
determine may be necessary in order for such Defaulting Lender to hold such Loans in accordance
with its Applicable Percentage;
(g) no reallocation pursuant to paragraph (d) above, nor the operation of any other provision
of this Section 2.19, will (i) constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender,
or (except with respect to clause (f) above) cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting
Lender, or (ii) except as expressly provided in this Section 2.19, excuse or otherwise modify the
performance by the Borrowers of their respective obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents; and
(h) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may terminate the unused
amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender on a non-pro rata basis upon not
less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly
notify the Lenders thereof), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or
release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may
have against such Defaulting Lender.
SECTION 2.20 Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, each
Borrower hereby accepts joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in
consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by Administrative Agent and Lenders
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly,
of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrower to accept joint and
several liability for the Borrower Obligations
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-55-
(as hereinafter defined). Each Borrower, jointly
and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a
co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrower, with respect to the payment and
performance of all of the Borrower Obligations (including any Borrower Obligations arising under this Section), it
being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Borrower Obligations shall be the joint
and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. If and to
the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Borrower
Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Borrower Obligations in accordance with the
terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrower will make such payment with respect to,
or perform, such Borrower Obligations. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower
Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section constitute the absolute and
unconditional, full recourse Borrower Obligations of each Borrower, enforceable against each such
Person to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, binding
effect or enforceability of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other circumstances
whatsoever. As used in this Section, “Borrower Obligations” means all liabilities and
obligations of every nature of the Borrowers from time to time owed to the Agents, the Issuing
Banks, the Lenders or any of them under any Loan Document, whether for principal, interest
(including all interest and expenses accrued or incurred subsequent to the commencement of any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings with respect to the Borrowers, whether or not such interest or
expenses are allowed as a claim in such proceeding), fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise
and whether primary, secondary, direct, indirect, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including
obligations of performance).

otherwise) any of the Obligations, the Parent Guarantor will promptly pay the same, without any
demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of
any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended

instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other
guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this
Section that the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional,
under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed
that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of
the Parent Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Parent Guarantor, the time
for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such
performance or compliance shall be waived;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the
Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to
herein or therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any
security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt
with; or
(iv) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Holder as security
for any of the Obligations shall fail to be perfected.
The Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and
all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Holder exhaust any right, power or remedy or
proceed against the Credit Parties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other
agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other
guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.
SECTION 3.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor under this Article shall be automatically reinstated if
and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of
the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations,
whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Parent
Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each Holder on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses
(including fees of counsel) incurred by such Holder in connection with such rescission or
restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging
that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
SECTION 3.04 Subrogation. The Parent Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all
Obligations (other than any contingent or indemnification obligations) and the expiration and
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and all LC Exposure of the Lenders under this
Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of
its guarantee in Section 3.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any Credit Party or any
other guarantor of any of the Obligations or any security for any of the Obligations.

as provided in Article VIII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in
the circumstances provided in Article VIII) for purposes of Section 3.01 notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming
automatically due and payable) as against the Borrowers and that, in the event of such declaration
(or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations
(whether or not due and payable by the Borrowers) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Parent Guarantor for purposes of Section 3.01.
SECTION 3.06 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations
whenever arising.
SECTION 3.07 General Limitation on Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if
the obligations of the Parent Guarantor under Section 3.01 would otherwise be held or determined to
be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account
of the amount of its liability under Section 3.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof
to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Parent
Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person, be automatically limited and

Adverse Effect,
the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions

fair market value of the assets of such Plan.
SECTION 4.11 Disclosure. None of the written information (excluding the projections and pro forma information
referred to below) furnished by or on behalf of the Obligors to the Lenders in connection with the
negotiation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as

statement of material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading;
provided that, with respect to projected and pro forma financial information, the Obligors
represent only that such information was based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed
to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such information as it
relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or
periods covered by such information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a
material amount.
SECTION 4.12 Use of Credit. Neither any Obligor nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate,

(d) The Security Documents are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Holders a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described

Accounts or Securities Accounts described in the Primary Security Agreement, the CIM US Bank
Account Security Agreement, the UK Bank Account Security Documents, and the General Guarantee and
Security Agreement, when the Collateral Agent has “control” within the meaning of Section 9-104 or

security interest in such Equity Collateral can be
perfected by the delivery of such Equity Collateral, and (y) in the case of the Collateral
described in the foregoing clause (iv), a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected
through the filing of financing statements in the offices specified on Schedule 4 of the Disclosure
Schedules Statement), as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to
any other Person (except Liens permitted by Section 7.02 and Liens having priority by operation of
law).

list of all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries as of
the Amendment Effective Date.
SECTION 4.14 Legal Form. Each of the Loan Documents is in a legal form which under the law of the Cayman Islands would be
enforceable against each Credit Party in accordance with its terms. All formalities required in
the Cayman Islands for the validity and enforceability of each of the Loan Documents (including any
necessary registration, recording or filing with any court or other authority in Cayman Islands)
have been accomplished, and no Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be paid to Cayman
Islands (save for any stamp duty that may be payable if the Loan Documents are brought into or
executed in the Cayman Islands), or any political subdivision thereof or therein, and no
notarization is required, for the validity and enforceability thereof.
SECTION 4.15 Ranking. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the obligations evidenced hereby and
thereby are and will at all times be direct and unconditional general obligations of the Credit
Parties, and rank and will at all times rank in right of payment and otherwise at least pari passu

outstanding.

this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. The execution,
delivery and performance by each Credit Party of this Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents to which it is a party constitute private and commercial acts rather than public or
governmental acts. None of the Credit Parties, nor any of their properties or revenues, is
entitled to any right of immunity in any jurisdiction from suit, court jurisdiction, judgment,
attachment (whether before or after judgment), setoff or execution of a judgment or from any other
legal process or remedy relating to the obligations of such Credit Party under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party.

SECTION 4.17 Solvency.Each Credit Party is and, immediately after giving effect to each Borrowing and the use of proceeds
thereof will be, Solvent.
SECTION 4.18 No Burdensome Restrictions. The Transactions will not subject any Credit Party to one or more charter or corporate
restrictions that would reasonably be expected to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect. To the best knowledge of the Obligors, there are no Requirements of Law with respect to
any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries the compliance with which by such Obligor or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, would reasonably be expected to have, in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect.

companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations.

SECTION 6.07 Compliance with Laws. Each Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all Requirements
of Law with respect to it, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate,
would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 6.08 Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Term Loans will be used by the Obligors and their Subsidiaries for working
capital and general corporate purposes, including Investments. The proceeds of the Revolving
Credit Loans and the Letters of Credit will be used by the Obligors and their Subsidiaries (a) for
working capital and general corporate purposes, including Investments, and (b) solely in connection
with the Specified IPO, for (i) a single dividend prior to the occurrence of such Specified IPO,

Dividend Amount have not been repaid, the Borrower shall cause the proceeds received from the
initial sale of Equity Interests in the Specified IPO to be contributed to the Obligors, which
proceeds may thereafter be used by the Obligors and their Subsidiaries only for general corporate
purposes. For purposes of this Section 6.08, “fair market value” shall be determined as of the
date on which the pricing of the applicable repurchase, redemption or purchase is fixed pursuant to
a binding agreement. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or
indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board,
including Regulations U and X. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to consummate the Specified

not, by itself, constitute a breach of this Agreement or a Default or Event of Default.

Management Fee Guarantor and (y) other than with respect to Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C.

(collectively) from all Fund Entities would not reasonably be expected to be materially less than

expected time of receipt) by the Obligors from all Fund Entities (taken as a whole) prior to the
establishment or acquisition of such new Fund Entity.

ARTICLE IX
AGENCY
SECTION 9.01 The Agents. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably
appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes each Agent to take such actions on its behalf and
to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent
and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the
context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual
capacity. Each such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the
financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Obligors or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not
an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and
in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Agent
shall:
(a) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other
Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly
provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that such Agent shall not be
required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose
such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
(c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty
to disclose, or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any
Obligor or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving
as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or
at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Each Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and
until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by the Obligors, a Lender or an Issuing
Bank.
Neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder
or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of
the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-84-
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.
Each 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. Each 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 of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender
or an Issuing Bank, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or
such Issuing Bank unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or
such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for an Obligor), 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.
Each 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 such Agent.
Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through its Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply
to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agents, and shall
apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities
provided for herein as well as activities as such Agent.
Subject to, and effective upon, the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as
provided below, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon
any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor with the
consent of the Borrowers (which consent (i) shall not be required if a Payment Default or
Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and approved by the Borrowers and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 days after
the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders with the consent of the Borrowers (which consent (i) shall not be required if a Payment
Default or Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office
in New York, New York and an office in London, England (or a bank having an Affiliate with such an
office) having a combined capital and surplus that is not less than $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of
any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from
all of its duties and obligations hereunder. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the
provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.
Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Agents 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 each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Agents 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.

electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to
procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to
notices to any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Article II if such Lender or such Issuing
Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving
notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrowers
may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it;
provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to
an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the
intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail
or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent
during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to
have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii)
notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon
the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing
clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the
website address therefor.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding:
(x) So long as Citibank or any of its Affiliates is the Administrative Agent, materials
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 shall be delivered to the Administrative
Agent in an electronic medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders by e-mail at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx. The Credit Parties agree that
the Administrative Agent may make such materials, as well as any other written information,
documents, instruments and other material relating to a Credit Party, any of its
Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to
the Lenders by posting such notices on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic
system (the “Platform”). The Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledge that (1)
although the Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally applicable
security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from
time to time, the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily
secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution,
(2) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (3) neither the Administrative
Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness
of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or
omissions in the Communications or the Platform, except to the extent such errors or
omissions are due to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or
statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other
code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection
with the Platform.
(y) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a
“Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall
constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such
Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that if requested by any Lender, the
Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by email or
telecopier. Each Lender agrees (1) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such
Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including
by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-87-
to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on
record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (2) that any Notice may be sent to
such e-mail address.”
SECTION 10.02 Waivers; Amendments.
(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by any Agent, any
Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the
Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of
Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any
Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision
hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements
in writing entered into by the applicable Credit Parties and the Required Lenders or by the
applicable Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of the Security Documents,
the Collateral Agent) with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement
shall
(i) increase any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender without the written consent
of such Lender,
(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of
interest thereon (except for reduction of interest by virtue of a default waiver), or reduce
any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and
adversely affected thereby,
(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC
Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount
of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of
any Revolving Credit Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and
adversely affected thereby,
(iv) change Section 2.17(c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of
payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely
affected thereby,
(v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage in the definition of
the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, or
(vi) release all or substantially all of the (x) Parent Guarantor from its guarantee
obligations under Article III, Carried Interest Guarantors from the Carried Interest
Guarantee and Security Agreement, the Management Fee Guarantors from the Management Fee
Guarantee and Security Agreement or the General Guarantors from the General Guarantee and
Security

-88-
Agreement, or (y) Collateral, without in each case the written consent of each
Holder, and in each case except pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 7.03;
and provided further that (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights
or duties of any Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without the
prior written consent of such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be and (y) any
modification or supplement of Article III shall require the consent of the Parent Guarantor.
SECTION 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by each Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of not more than one counsel per jurisdiction (unless multiple counsels
are necessary to avoid conflicts of interest) for such Agent), in connection with the syndication
of the credit facilities provided for herein, 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, (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all documented out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of not more than one counsel per jurisdiction (unless multiple counsels are necessary
to avoid conflicts of interest) for each such Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender) 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, or (B) in connection with the Loans
made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of
Credit and (iv) all transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges
levied by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any other document referred to herein or therein and all costs, expenses, taxes,
assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or
perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document
referred to therein.
(b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Agent (and
any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each Issuing Bank, 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, liabilities and related costs and
expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of not more than one counsel per
jurisdiction (unless multiple counsels are necessary to avoid conflicts of interest)) incurred by
any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by such Borrower or any
other Credit Party any Obligor arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any action,
claim, judgment or suite arising out of or in connection with (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 or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing
Bank 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 Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrowers or any of their 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 such Borrower or any other Credit Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related costs and expenses are determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-89-
resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of, or the breach of any Loan Document by, such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates or
the directors, officers, employees or advisors of any of them.
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers (and, with respect to
the guarantees hereunder, the Parent Guarantor) for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount
required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by them to any Agent (or any
sub-agent thereof) or any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank 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 such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such
Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting
for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The
obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are several obligations.
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, no Obligor shall assert, and each Obligor hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
(as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of,
this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or
thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use
of the proceeds thereof.
(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after receipt of a
reasonably detailed invoice therefor.
SECTION 10.04 Successors and Assigns.

binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that none of the Obligors may assign or otherwise transfer any of
its rights or obligations hereunder (except pursuant to a transaction permitted hereunder) without

extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the Related Parties of each Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Employee Loan Obligee)

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-90-
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 paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes
Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit 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 in respect of
a Revolving Credit Commitment, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in
respect of a Term Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no
Non-Consent Event has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent
(each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(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 Loan or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned,
except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion
of its rights and obligations in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Loans on a
non-pro rata basis.
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment
except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Non-Consent Event has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
(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
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C) the consent of the Issuing Banks shall be required for any assignment that
increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or
more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).
(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 of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall

(v) No Assignment to the Obligors. No such assignment shall be made to any
Obligor or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries.
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a
natural person.

assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-91-
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 Section 2.15 and Section 10.03 with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York 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 Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each
Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrowers and any Lender, 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 Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the
Obligors or any of the Obligors’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit
Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) the
consent of the Borrowers (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be
required for any such participation unless (x) a Non-Consent Event has occurred and is continuing
at the time of such participation or (y) such participation is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund.
Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, acting
solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower and solely for tax purposes, shall
maintain a register comparable to the Register on which it shall enter the name and address of each
Participant and the economic interests of each Participant in all or a portion of the participating
Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it) (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the
Participant Register shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, such Lender shall not be required to disclose the Participant Register
except that (i) such Lender shall be required to make its Participant Register available to the
Administrative Agent or to the Borrower if requested by the Borrower in connection with the
exercise by a related Participant of remedies hereunder and (ii) such Lender shall be required to
make its Participant Register available to the Internal Revenue Service if requested by the
Internal Revenue Service or the Borrower and to the extent required by the Internal Revenue
Service.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso of Section 10.02(b) that directly and
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-92-
adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrowers
agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to
the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section. 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 that such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(d) as though it were a Lender.
(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 and Section 2.16 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 Borrowers’ prior written consent
after disclosure of such greater payments. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were
a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrowers are notified of
the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender and any such Participant shall
be deemed to be a Lender for the purposes of the definition of Excluded Taxes.
(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that
no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 10.05 Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Obligors herein
and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this
Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of
any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its
behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended
hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued
interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and
unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Credit Commitments have
not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section
3.03 and
Section 10.03 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or
termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Credit Commitments or the termination of
this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 10.06 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 (and any separate letter agreements among the Obligors
and CGMI and certain affiliates thereof, X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC and certain affiliates thereof
and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and certain affiliates thereof, with respect to fees payable
thereto and their initial Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Loans and the syndication thereof)
constitute the entire contract between and 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement
by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
this Agreement.
SECTION 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-93-
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank 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, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of any Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Credit Party may be
contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank
different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The
rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such
Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to
notify the Borrowers 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.

with, the law of the State of New York.

amended by the Single Xxxxxxxx Xxx 0000 and the Maastricht Treaty (which was signed at
Maastricht on February 7, 1992, and came into force on November 1, 1993).
(b) Effectiveness of Provisions. The provisions of paragraphs (c) through (h) of this
Section shall be effective on the Amendment Effective Date; provided that, if and to the extent
that any such provision relates to any state (or the Currency of such state) that is not a
Participating Member State
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-95-
on the Amendment Effective Date, such provision shall become effective
in relation to such state (and such Currency) at and from the date on which such state becomes a
Participating Member State.
(c) Redenomination and Alternative Currencies. Each obligation under this Agreement
of a party to this Agreement which has been denominated in the National Currency of a Participating
Member State shall be redenominated in Euros in accordance with EMU Legislation; provided that, if
and to the extent that any EMU Legislation provides that following the Amendment Effective Date an
amount denominated either in Euros or in the National Currency of a Participating Member State and
payable within the Participating Member State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid
by the debtor either in Euros or in such National Currency, any party to this Agreement shall be
entitled to pay or repay any such amount either in Euros or in such National Currency.
(d) Payments by the Administrative Agent Generally. With respect to the payment of
any amount denominated in Euros or in a National Currency, the Administrative Agent shall not be
liable to the Obligors or any of the Lenders in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the
consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement
to be paid by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent shall have taken all relevant
steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately
available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in Euros or in such National Currency, as the case
may be) to the account of any Lender in the Principal Financial Center in the Participating Member
State which the Obligors or such Lender, as the case may be, shall have specified for such purpose.
For the purposes of this paragraph, “all relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed
from time to time by the
regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative
Agent may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments in Euros or
such National Currency.
(e) Certain Rate Determinations. For the purposes of determining the date on which
the LIBO Rate is determined under this Agreement for the Interest Period for any Borrowing
denominated in Euros (or in any National Currency), references in this Agreement to Business Days
shall be deemed to be references to Target Operating Days. In addition, if the Administrative
Agent determines, with respect to the Interest Period for any Borrowing denominated in a National
Currency, that there is no LIBOR displayed on the Reuters’ Service for deposits denominated in such
National Currency, the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period shall be based upon LIBOR displayed on
the Reuters’ Service for the offering of deposits denominated in Euros.
(f) Basis of Accrual. If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this
Agreement with respect to the Currency of any state that becomes a Participating Member State shall
be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of
interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed
basis effective as of and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State;
provided that, with respect to any Borrowing denominated in such Currency that is outstanding
immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect at the end of the Interest
Period therefor.
(g) Rounding. Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or
rounding prescribed by the EMU Legislation, each reference in this Agreement to a minimum amount,
or to a multiple of a specified amount, in a National Currency to be paid to or by the
Administrative Agent shall be replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient
amount, or to a multiple of such reasonably comparable and convenient amount, in Euros as the
Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably specify.
(h) Other Consequential Changes. Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of
the Obligors to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Obligors under or pursuant to this Agreement,
except as expressly provided in this Section, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to
such reasonable
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-96-
changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time
reasonably specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to
the Euro in Participating Member States.
SECTION 10.13 Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which
the specification of Dollars or any Foreign Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified
Currency”), and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case
may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the
currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The
payment obligations of each Obligor under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an
amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise,
to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the
Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency
at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the
“Second Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which
in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified
Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment
is rendered. The obligation of each Obligor in respect of any such sum due from it to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in this Section
called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied
in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to
the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum
adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with
normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with
the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and each Obligor hereby, as a separate
obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against,
and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which
the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the
amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.
SECTION 10.14 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used
herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect
the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 10.15 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
(a) Treatment of Certain Information. Each Obligor acknowledges that from time to
time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to such
Obligor or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any
Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and each Obligor hereby
authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Obligor and its
Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter
into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being understood that any such
subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph
(b) of this Section as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the
repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving
Credit Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
(b) Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be
disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators,
trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other 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
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-97-
regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it
(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, 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, (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers,
administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other
representatives) to any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be
made by reference to any Credit Party and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder,
(iii) any rating agency, or (iv) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (g) with the
consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other
than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to either Agent, any Issuing
Bank, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Credit Parties. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from any Credit Party relating to
such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any
such information that is available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries. Any
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.
SECTION 10.16 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Credit Parties that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law
October 26, 2001)), such Lender may be required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party
and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with
said Act.
SECTION 10.17 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other
amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and
Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not
above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by
such Lender.
SECTION 10.18 Release of Collateral and Obligations; Subordination of Liens.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon
request of the Borrowers in connection with any disposition of Property permitted by the Loan
Documents, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take
such actions as shall be required to promptly release its security interest in any Collateral being
disposed of in such disposition, and to release any Obligations under any Loan Document of any
Person being disposed of in such disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of
such disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents. Any representation, warranty or covenant
contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Property so disposed of (other than Property
disposed of to any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries) shall no longer be deemed to be repeated
once such Property is so disposed of.
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
-98-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all
Obligations (other than any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) have been
satisfied and otherwise paid in full, all Revolving Credit Commitments have terminated or expired
and no Letter of Credit (that have not been cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.04(k))
shall be outstanding, upon request of the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to,
or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be required to promptly release its
security interest in all Collateral, and to release all Obligations (other than any contingent or
indemnification obligations not then due) under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of
such release there may be contingent or indemnification obligations not then due. Any such release
of Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Obligations shall be reinstated
if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations shall be rescinded
or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation
or reorganization of any Credit Party, or upon or as a
result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar
officer for, any Credit Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though
such payment had not been made.
SECTION 10.19 Acknowledgments. Each Obligor hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(b) neither the Agents, the Issuing Banks nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship
with or duty to such Obligor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Agents, the Issuing Banks and
Lenders, on the one hand, and such Obligor, on the other hand, in connection herewith or
therewith is solely that of creditor and debtor; and
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise
exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby.
SECTION 10.20 Fiscal Year. Each Obligor will not change the last day of its fiscal
year from December 31, or the last days of the first three fiscal quarters in each of its fiscal
years from March 31, June 30 and September 30, respectively, without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent.
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered
(and, in the case of each Person organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, as a deed) by
their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

1. General

Person of cash, securities or other property, by set-off or otherwise, on account of the
Obligations consisting of, or in respect of, the Subordinated Note Debt, (b) any redemption,
purchase or other acquisition of such Obligations by any Person or (c) the granting of any lien or
security interest to or for the benefit of the holders of such Obligations in or upon any property
of any Person (clauses (a), (b), (c) together, “Distributions”) is subordinated in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 1 to the prior Payment-in-Full of
all existing and future Senior Debt of the Issuers and that such subordination is for the benefit
of and enforceable by the holders of the Senior Debt. For purposes of clarification, the parties
hereto acknowledge that the exchange or conversion by a Note Holder into Capital Stock or other
securities that are junior and subordinated to any and all Senior Debt on the same basis as the
Subordinated Note Debt is junior and subordinated to Senior Debt as provided in this Section 1 or
on a basis that is no less favorable to the holders of Senior Debt than the Subordinated Note Debt
shall not be deemed to be a “Distribution” for purposes of this Section 1 and shall not be subject
to any restrictions set forth in this Section 1.
1.2 Insolvency
In the event of any Insolvency Proceeding:
(a) the Senior Debt shall first be Paid-in-Full before any Distribution (whether by purchase,
acquisition or otherwise), whether in cash, Cash Equivalents, securities or other Property, shall
be made to any holder of any Subordinated Note Debt on account of such Subordinated Note Debt;
(b) during any Insolvency Proceeding, any Distribution which would otherwise (but for this
Section 1) be payable or deliverable in respect of Subordinated Note Debt shall be paid or
delivered directly to (i) at any time prior to the Payment-in-Full of the Senior Credit Agreement
Obligations, the Senior Credit Agreement Holders, and (ii) at any time after the Payment-in-Full of
the Senior Credit Agreement Obligations, the holders of the Senior Debt in accordance with the
priorities then existing among such holders and Section 1.6 until all Senior Debt shall have been
Paid-in-Full;
(c) at any time prior to the Payment-in-Full of the Senior Credit Agreement Obligations, each
holder of the Subordinated Note Debt
(i) agrees to file or cause to be filed on its behalf an appropriate proof of claim in
respect of such holder’s Subordinated Note Debt and take such action, to the extent
commercially reasonable, to cause such proof of claim to be approved in such Insolvency
Proceeding;
Subordination Terms
(ii) irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor in possession,
receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to
pay or otherwise deliver all such Distributions to the Senior Administrative Agent for the

Obligations have been Paid-in-Full; and
(iii) irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Senior Administrative Agent, in the name
of each such holder of the Subordinated Note Debt, to demand, xxx for, collect and receive
any and all such Distributions until all Senior Credit Agreement Obligations shall have been
Paid-in-Full;
(d) during any Insolvency Proceeding, prior to the Payment-in-Full of the Senior Credit
Agreement Obligations, each holder of the Subordinated Note Debt hereby agrees not to initiate,
prosecute or participate in any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability,
validity, perfection or priority of the Senior Debt or any liens and security interests securing,
or purporting to secure, the Senior Debt;
(e) during any Insolvency Proceeding, prior to the Payment-in-Full of the Senior Credit
Agreement Obligations, no holder of the Subordinated Note Debt will object to, or otherwise contest
(or support any other Person contesting), any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any
injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Debt made by any holder of the
Senior Debt; and
(f) during any Insolvency Proceeding, prior to the Payment-in-Full of the Senior Credit
Agreement Obligations, no holder of the Subordinated Note Debt will object to, or otherwise contest
(or support any other Person contesting), (i) any request by any Issuer to provide the holder of
the Senior Debt with adequate protection or (ii) any objection by the holders of the Senior Debt to
any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the holders of the Senior Debt claiming a lack of
adequate protection;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1 shall be deemed to prohibit or limit the right of
any holder of Subordinated Note Debt (or any representative thereof) to serve on any official
committee of creditors in any such Insolvency Proceeding.
1.3 Payment Default in Respect of Senior Debt
Unless Section 1.2 shall be applicable, if a Senior Payment Default exists that would permit

writing by the requisite holders of the applicable Designated Senior Debt) or (ii) waived (in

Unless Section 1.2 shall be applicable, if:
(a) any Senior Nonpayment Default shall have occurred; and
(b) the Issuers receive written notice (a “Nonpayment Default Notice”) of the
happening of such Senior Nonpayment Default that would permit the holders of the Designated
Senior Debt to declare such Designated Senior Debt due and payable, stating that such notice
is a payment blockage notice pursuant to this Section 1.4;
then, the Issuers shall not make any Distributions for or on account of any Subordinated Note Debt
for a period (each, a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing on the Payment Blockage Period
Commencement Date in respect of such Payment Blockage Period and ending on the Payment Blockage
Period Termination Date in respect of such Payment Blockage Period, provided, however, that:
(i) in no event shall the total number of days during which any Payment
Blockage Period or Periods on the Subordinated Note Debt is in effect exceed 180
days in the aggregate during any consecutive 365 day period, and there must be at
least 185 days during any consecutive 365 day period during which no Payment
Blockage Period is in effect;
(ii) no more than one Payment Blockage Periods shall be in effect during any
period of 365 consecutive days, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect
to Senior Debt during such period; and
(iii) no Payment Blockage Period may be imposed as a result of any Senior
Nonpayment Default that served as the basis for such Payment Blockage Period, unless
such Senior Nonpayment Default has been cured or waived for a period of 90
consecutive days.
All payments in respect of Subordinated Note Debt postponed during any Payment Blockage Period
shall be immediately due and payable upon the termination thereof (together with such additional
interest and other payments as is provided for herein and in the Subordinated Debt Documents for

any Subordinated Note Debt, (ii) commence or join in the commencement of a proceeding under any
Insolvency Proceeding
Subordination Terms

in any such proceeding not commenced by the Note Holders in such capacity solely to the extent
necessary to maintain their claims to, and to preserve their rights in respect of, the Subordinated
Note Debt), (iii) accelerate all of any portion of the Subordinated Note Debt, or (iv) direct any
other Person to do any of the foregoing until both (A) the holders of Designated Senior Debt are
given written notice (a “Subordinated Action Notice”) of the intent to take such action and
(B) the earlier of the following shall have occurred: (i) acceleration of the Senior Debt and (ii)

concurrently and (2) the Standstill Period shall terminate sooner upon the earliest to occur of (i)
the acceleration of all or any or any portion of Designated Senior Debt, or (ii) the

(b) No Note Holder shall be required to turnover to the holders of the Senior Debt pursuant to
this Section 1.6, any payments or distributions collected or received by such Note Holder prior to
delivery to the Note Holders of written notice of the occurrence of a Senior Nonpayment Default in
accordance with [reference notices section], provided that this clause (b) shall not be applicable
to the extent any such payment or distribution was received or collected at any time a Senior
Payment Default ex
