Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Subject to ‎Section 2.17, each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Rate Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) At the time that any Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is not less than $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided that a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten Eurodollar Rate Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date (unless a Term Loan Election has occurred but the Term Loan Conversion Date has not yet occurred).

Section 2.03 Requests for Revolving Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (or, in the case of the first Borrowing hereunder, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, two Business Days before the date of such Borrowing), or (a) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with ‎Section 2.02:

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing;

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

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.

If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, 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.

(b) The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date 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 Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

The aggregate amount of the Commitments, once reduced as provided in this ‎Section 2.07(b), may not be reinstated.

(c) Mandatory Ratable Termination or Reduction. Subject to ‎Section 2.07(d) below, the Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds actually received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from any Specified Debt Incurrence.

(d) Application of Mandatory Commitment Reductions. Any Net Cash Proceeds contemplated to be applied to reduce the Commitments pursuant to ‎Section 2.07(c) above shall first be applied to prepay the outstanding Loans, if any, pursuant to ‎Section 2.13(b) until the amount of Loans outstanding is $0, and any remaining amounts shall be applied to reduce the Commitments pursuant to ‎Section 2.07(c). The Borrower shall promptly (and no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof) notify the Administrative Agent of the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries’ receipt of Net Cash Proceeds subject to this ‎Section 2.07(d), and such notice shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculations of the applicable Net Cash Proceeds.

The accrued facility fee shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and, without duplication, on the Commitment Termination Date. If for any reason any Revolving Credit Exposure remains outstanding on or after the Commitment Termination Date, the facility fee shall accrue from the Termination Date until the date on which no Revolving Credit Exposure remains outstanding, on the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Exposure from time to time outstanding, payable on demand.

(b) Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed in writing by and between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(c) Subject to the proviso in the definition of the term “Maturity Date”, whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or unused commitment fee, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

Section 2.15 Sharing of Payments Etc. (a) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Revolving Credit Exposure owing to it (other than pursuant to ‎Section 2.16, ‎2.18 or ‎9.04(b)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Revolving Credit Exposure obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving Credit Exposure owing to such other Lenders as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this ‎Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(b) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 2.16 Additional Costs. (a) The Borrower shall, within 30 days following demand by a Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans or its obligation to make any Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any such Loans or any such obligation (excluding amounts attributable to Taxes applicable to payments made by the Borrower hereunder and Other Taxes, which shall be governed solely and exclusively by ‎Section 2.18) (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, minimum capital, capital ratio or similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including any such Loans or any deposits of the type referred to in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” in ‎Section 1.01), or the Commitment of such Lender or (ii) imposes any other cost, expense or condition affecting this Agreement or such Lender’s Notes (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or Commitment; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay to such Lender such Additional Costs unless such Lender at such time shall be generally assessing such amounts on a non-discriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar to this paragraph; and provided, further that any such Additional Costs allocated to any Loans or the Commitment of such Lender shall not exceed the Borrower’s pro rata share of all costs attributable to all loans or advances or commitments to all borrowers by such Lender that collectively result in the consequences for which such Lender is to be compensated by the Borrower. Any Lender seeking compensation hereunder shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of the enactment of any Regulatory Change that would entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this ‎Section 2.16(a) as promptly as practicable after obtaining knowledge thereof and the date of effectiveness of such Regulatory Change; provided that failure to provide such notice shall not in any way reduce the Borrower’s liability therefor. As soon thereafter as such Lender shall have determined to request such compensation, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof and shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) (i) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Lender affected by such Regulatory Change if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation, and will not, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender and (ii) to otherwise minimize any such compensation payable by the Borrower hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this ‎Section 2.16(a) to the contrary, the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse such Lender for Additional Costs pursuant to this ‎Section 2.16(a) shall be limited as follows:

(x) In the event of a Regulatory Change with an effective date occurring on or after its date of enactment, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender only such amounts attributable to the period commencing on the later of the effective date of

such Regulatory Change or the date of such Lender’s notice of determination to request compensation hereunder; and

(y) In the event of a Regulatory Change with an effective date retroactive from its date of enactment, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay only such amounts attributable to a period commencing up to 60 days prior to such Lender’s notice of enactment of the Regulatory Change and its request for compensation hereunder.

(b) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this ‎Section 2.16 (but without duplication), the Borrower shall, within 30 days following a demand by a Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender from time to time (i) such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs (excluding amounts attributable to Taxes applicable to payments made by the Borrower hereunder and Other Taxes, which shall be governed solely and exclusively by ‎Section 2.18) that it determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender), pursuant to any Law or regulation or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court or governmental or monetary authority following any Regulatory Change, of capital or liquidity in respect of its Commitment (such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender) to a level below that which such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender) could have achieved but for such Law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request); provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amounts unless such Lender at such time shall be generally assessing such amounts on a nondiscriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar to this paragraph; and (ii) any such additional amounts allocated to the Commitment of such Lender shall not exceed the Borrower’s pro rata share of all costs attributable to all commitments to all borrowers by such Lender that collectively result in the consequences for which such Lender is to be compensated by the Borrower. Each Lender will notify the Borrower that it is entitled to compensation pursuant to this ‎Section 2.16(b) as promptly as practicable after it determines to request such compensation; provided that, in the event of (x) any Regulatory Change with an effective date occurring on or after its enactment, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender only such amounts attributable to the period commencing on the later of the effective date of such Regulatory Change or the date of such Lender’s notice of determination to request compensation hereunder; and (y) any Regulatory Change with an effective date retroactive from its date of enactment, such request arises from a Law, regulation, directive or request of a court or governmental or monetary authority that contains an effective date retroactive from its date of enactment, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay such Lender only such amounts attributable to the period commencing up to 60 days prior to the date of such Lender’s notice.

(c) Determinations and allocations by a Lender for purposes of this ‎Section 2.16 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to ‎Section 2.16(a), or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to ‎Section 2.16(b), on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of the foregoing, and of the amounts required to compensate such Lender under this ‎Section 2.16, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a

reasonable basis. Any Lender requesting compensation under this ‎Section 2.16 will furnish the Borrower with a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of such request for compensation.

Section 2.17 Illegality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to Convert Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, which notice shall be given promptly after such circumstances cease to exist.

(b) Each Lender agrees that, before making a demand under subsection ‎(a) above, it shall (i) use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office for the Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender if such designation will avoid the need for the Conversion of or for the suspension of the obligation of any Lender or Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans as described in subsection ‎(a) above and will not, in the opinion of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender and (ii) failing such efforts and if legally permissible, cause such demand to be made on the last day of the applicable Interest Period for each Eurodollar Rate Loan then outstanding, as the case may be.

Section 2.18 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes unless required by applicable Law; provided that if any Withholding Agent shall be required by Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Tax is and Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased, as necessary so that after all required deductions are made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this ‎Section 2.18) the Administrative Agent and each Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Withholding Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes, without duplication, to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) The Borrower shall, without duplication, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes on or attributable to amounts payable under this ‎Section 2.18) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any 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 a Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be presumptive evidence of such payment or liability absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to any Governmental Authority, and in any event within 60 days of such payment, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify, within 10 days after written demand therefor, (i) the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) and (ii) the Borrower for any Excluded Taxes, in each case, attributable to such Lender paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (as applicable) in connection herewith or with any other Loan Document and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by a Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Lender by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (as applicable) shall be presumptive evidence of such payment or liability absent manifest error.

(f) (i) The Administrative Agent and each Lender, including any Foreign Lender, that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the Law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Withholding Agent such properly completed and executed documentation (including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and applicable Internal Revenue Service Form(s) W-8 and any related documentation) as may be necessary or appropriate to permit the Withholding Agent to make payments under this Agreement or any Loan Document without withholding Tax or at a reduced withholding Tax rate.

(ii) If a payment made to the Administrative Agent or a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that the Administrative Agent or

such Lender, as applicable, has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this ‎Section 2.18(f)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as will enable the Withholding Agent to determine whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(iv) The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall provide the appropriate documentation described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this ‎Section 2.18(f) at the following times (A) prior to the first payment date after becoming a party to this Agreement, (B) upon a change in circumstances or, upon reasonable request by the Withholding Agent, upon a change in Law, in each case, requiring or making appropriate a new or additional form, certificate or documentation, (C) upon reasonable request by the Withholding Agent, upon or before the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any documentation previously provided to the Withholding Agent and (D) upon reasonable request by the Withholding Agent. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall provide to the Withholding Agent such forms or certificates as the Withholding Agent may reasonably request to establish the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s, as applicable, entitlement to an exemption from or reduction of Taxes imposed by a non-U.S. jurisdiction; provided, however, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be required to provide any such form or certificate if it determines in its reasonable discretion that the provision of such form or certificate would materially adversely affect it or it is not legally able to provide such form or certificate.

(g) Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to ‎Section 2.18, such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts (consistent with its legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if such designation or assignment will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any additional amounts that would otherwise thereafter accrue and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss, and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Upon any such designation or assignment, such Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower the appropriate form and documentation requirements set forth in ‎Section 2.18(f).

(h) For purposes of this ‎Section 2.18 the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

Section 2.19 Defaulting Lenders. If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) commencing on the date that such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, fees under ‎Section 2.08(a) shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to ‎Section 9.03), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower reasonably determine that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine is necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Subject to Section 9.19, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

Section 2.20 Substitution of Lender. If (a) the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans has been suspended pursuant to ‎Section 2.11, (b) any Lender has demanded compensation or the Borrower is otherwise required to pay additional amounts under ‎Section 2.16 or ‎2.18 or (c) such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall have, in addition to the right to seek a substitute lender or lenders who qualify as Eligible Assignees to assume, in accordance with the provisions of ‎Section 9.06, the Commitment of such Lender, the right to terminate the unused Commitment of such Lender.

Section 2.21 Term Loan Conversion. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent given not fewer than 5 Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date, elect (such election, the “Term Loan Election”), effective as of the Commitment Termination Date (the “Term Loan Conversion Date”), to convert all or a ratable portion of the Revolving Loans outstanding on the Term Loan Conversion Date into Term Loans which the Borrower shall repay in full ratably to the Lenders on the first anniversary of the Commitment Termination Date; provided that the Term Loan Election may not be exercised unless the conditions set forth in ‎Section 3.03 are satisfied on the date of notice of the Term Loan Election and on the Term Loan Conversion Date. The conversion notice delivered by the Borrower shall specify: (x) the Type of the Term Loan Borrowing effective on the Term Loan Conversion Date and (y) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. In the event that less than all of the Revolving Loans outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date are converted into Term Loans pursuant to this ‎Section 2.21, any outstanding Revolving Loans not so converted shall be repaid in full on the Commitment Termination Date. The aggregate Commitment will terminate on the Commitment Termination Date and all commitment fees pursuant to ‎Section 2.08(a) shall cease to accrue on the Commitment Termination Date. All Revolving Loans converted into Term Loans pursuant to this ‎Section 2.21 shall continue to constitute Loans following the Term Loan Conversion Date except that the Borrower may not thereafter reborrow pursuant to ‎Section 2.01 after all or any

portion of such Loans have been prepaid pursuant to ‎Section 2.13 on or after the Commitment Termination Date.

Section 5.03 Existence; Nature of Business. (a) The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate or other legal existence and all licenses and permits necessary to the proper conduct of its business, except that the foregoing shall not (i) prevent any transaction permitted by ‎Section 6.02 or (ii) require the preservation of the legal existence of any Subsidiary or of any such license or permit the nonpreservation of which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries will engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business, taken on a consolidated basis, which would then be principally engaged in by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries would be substantially changed from the general nature of the business engaged in by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date and similar or related businesses or businesses ancillary or complementary thereto.

ARTICLE 8
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 8.01 Authorization and Action.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors to serve as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver and to perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(b) As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the

Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in ‎Section 9.03), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable Law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each written notice of borrowing, repayment, prepayment or Event of Default given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders except to the limited extent provided in ‎Section 9.06(e), and its duties are entirely administrative in nature. The Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties under any Loan Document by or through its agents or employees.

(e) The Joint Lead Arrangers and the Persons named on the cover page hereof as Syndication Agents or Bookrunners shall have no obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement and shall incur no liability hereunder in such capacity.

Section 8.02 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

(a) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in ‎Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in ‎Section 9.06; (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in ‎Section 9.06(e); (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on the part of the Borrower, as to the financial position of the Borrower or as to the existence or possible existence of any Default or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (vii) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan,

that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan and (viii) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile transmission, Internet or intranet website posting, any electronic messaging system or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties.

Section 8.03 Barclays and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the Revolving Loans made by it and the Note issued to it, Barclays shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Barclays in its individual capacity. Barclays and its Affiliates (including their respective directors, officers, agents or employees) may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary and any Person who may do any kind of banking, trust or other business with or own securities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, all as if Barclays were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.04 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any other Lender, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial position and affairs of the Borrower in connection with the making and continuance of the Loans. Each Lender also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and other Loan Documents. Except for the documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof or any employee or agent of any of the foregoing.

Section 8.05 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and ratably according to the respective amount of such Lender’s Commitment (or, if this indemnity under this paragraph is sought after the termination of the Commitments, such Lender’s Commitment as most recently in effect)), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities,

obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or another Borrower.

Section 8.06 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to, if no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the Laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, subject to, if no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Administrative Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may at any time upon or after the end of such 30-day period, notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent and the effective date of such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation (which effective date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after the date of such notice). Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (i) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the

provisions of this ‎Article 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Delivery by facsimile or electronic mail of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or of any Exhibit hereto to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

(a) Electronic Communications.

(i) Delivery of Communications by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a Conversion of an existing, Borrowing (including any election of an interest rate or Interest Period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any Default under this Agreement, (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent in ‎Article 3 or (E) initiates or responds to legal process (all such non-excluded information being referred to herein collectively as the

(ii) Use of Web Platforms. Each party hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks or another similar website reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent) (the “Platform”). Nothing in this ‎Section 9.02 shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent to make the Communications available to the Lenders in any other manner specified in this Agreement. Each party hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable Law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(iii) E-mail Notification to Lenders. Each Lender agrees (unless separate arrangements have been made with the Administrative Agent) that e-mail notice to it (at the address provided pursuant to the next sentence and deemed delivered as provided in the next paragraph) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such Communications to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission, and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(iv) Presumption as to Delivery of E-mail. Each party agrees that any electronic communication referred to in this ‎Section 9.02 shall be deemed delivered upon the posting of a record of such communication as “received” in the e-mail system of the recipient; provided that if such communication is not so received during normal business hours, such communication shall be deemed delivered at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(v) Waiver of Responsibility. Each party acknowledges that (A) 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 (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution (and each party assumes the risks of such distribution), (B) the Communications and the Platform are provided “as is” and “as available,” (C) none of the Administrative Agent, its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, members, trustees, agents, sub-agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Barclays Parties”) warrants the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform, and each Barclays Party expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any Communications or the Platform, and (D) no warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including 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 any Barclays Party in connection with any Communications or the Platform.

Section 9.03 Amendments, Etc.

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no amendment, waiver or consent shall (b) increase the Commitment of any Lender, or subject any Lender to any additional obligations, without the prior written consent of such Lender, (c) reduce the principal of, or interest (or the rate of interest) on, the Loans of any Lender, or any fees (or the rate at which they accrue) or other amounts payable hereunder to any Lender, without the prior written consent of such Lender, (d) alter the manner in which Commitment reductions or payments or prepayments of principal, interest or other amounts hereunder shall be applied as among the Lenders without the prior written consent of all Lenders directly affected thereby, (e) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans of any Lender, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder to any Lender, without the prior written consent of such Lender, (f) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, that shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder without the prior written consent of all Lenders affected thereby, (g) amend ‎Section 2.15 or this ‎Section 9.03 without the prior written consent of all Lenders adversely affected thereby, (h) extend the commitment period of any Lender or amend the definition of “Commitment Termination Date” with respect to any Lender, without the prior written consent of such Lender or (h) amend the definition of “Applicable Percentage” without the prior written consent of all Lenders affected thereby; provided, further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may, with the written consent of the Borrower, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to the Pricing Grid pursuant to the final paragraph of Annex I shall not require the written consent of any Lender, but shall require the written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent only.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent or approval of any Lender to

effectuate, pursuant to ‎Section 2.21, the conversion of any Revolving Loans into Term Loans and therewith extend the Maturity Date for such Term Loans to the first anniversary of the Commitment Termination Date.

Section 9.04 Costs and Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay, promptly following demand therefor, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein and the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder and thereunder, including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement with respect to issues arising after the date hereof and relating specifically to this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees to periodically pay, promptly following demand therefor, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, if any (including reasonable and documented counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of rights under this ‎Section 9.04(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this ‎Section 9.04(a) shall require the Borrower to reimburse the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any Lender for Taxes or Additional Costs paid pursuant to ‎Section 2.16.

(b) If any payment or prepayment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan as a result of (i) a payment pursuant to this Agreement or a Conversion pursuant to ‎Section 2.11, ‎2.13 or ‎2.17, (ii) [reserved], (iii) a payment by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to ‎Section 9.06 as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to ‎Section 9.06(a) or ‎9.06(c), (iv) acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to ‎Article 7, (v) any payment on the Commitment Termination Date with respect to any Loans for which the Interest Period is deemed to end on such Commitment Termination Date pursuant to clause ‎(i) of the definition of “Interest Period” or (i) any other reason, or if the Borrower shall fail to effect any Borrowing of a Loan (other than a Base Rate Loan) on the date specified for such Borrowing in the related Borrowing request (including by reason of the failure of any applicable condition set forth in ‎Article 3 to be satisfied), or if the Borrower shall fail to prepay any Eurodollar Rate Loan after notice has been given to any Lender pursuant to ‎Section 2.13 (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under ‎Section 2.13 and is revoked in accordance therewith), then the Borrower shall, within 10 days following demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, prepayment or Conversion, or failure to borrow or prepay, including any loss (resulting from any interest rate differentials, excluding loss of anticipated margin), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Loan. Determinations by a Lender for purposes of this ‎Section 9.04(b) of any loss, cost or expense shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, provided that

such determinations are made on a reasonable basis. Any Lender requesting compensation under this ‎Section 9.04(b) will furnish the Borrower with a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of such request for compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this ‎Section 9.04(b) shall require the Borrower to reimburse the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any Lender for Taxes or Additional Costs paid pursuant to ‎Section 2.16.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) on demand against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including any such action, proceeding or investigation brought by or against any person, including stockholders, partners or other equity holders of the Borrower), whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and in any capacity regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in each case, whether or not such investigation, litigation, claim or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any equity holders or creditors of the Borrower or an Indemnitee and whether or not any such Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, liabilities or related expenses are determined by final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee in the performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that in no event will such Indemnitee or such other parties have any liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of such Indemnitee’s or such other parties’ activities related to the Loan Documents and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon such claim or any such damages whether or not accrued or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnitee or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Borrower will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee, as the case may be, as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability and related expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of (i) the Borrower and their respective Affiliates, stockholders, partners or other equity holders on the one hand and (ii) such Indemnitee on the other hand in the matters contemplated by the Loan Documents as well as the relative fault of (i) the Borrower and their respective Affiliates, stockholders, partners or other equity holders and (ii) such Indemnitee with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower or the Lenders hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections ‎2.16, ‎2.18 and this ‎Section 9.04, and the agreements and obligations of each Lender under Sections ‎

8.05 and ‎9.11, shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.

Section 9.05 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall have no right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all Lenders (except Defaulting Lenders), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

Section 9.06 Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Loans owing to it and any Notes held by it) with the consent of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or the assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, in which case the consent of the Borrower shall not be required and provided that if the consent of the Borrower to an assignment is required hereunder, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received a written request for its consent to such assignment) and the Administrative Agent, in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and, if demanded by the Borrower (pursuant to clause ‎(c) below), upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, shall assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Loans owing to it and any Notes held by it); provided that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment or Loan, as applicable, of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee or an Affiliate of a Lender of the type described in clause (y) of the second proviso below, (iv) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower shall comply with clause ‎(c) below, (v) the parties to each such assignment (which shall not include the Borrower) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (i) the assignee, if not already a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; provided that the Borrower shall pay such processing and recordation fee if such assignment occurs as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to ‎Section 9.06(c)(i) or (ii); provided, further that no consents shall be required (x) in the case of an assignment of the type described in clause ‎(g) below, or (y) in the case of an assignment of a Commitment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender if the long term deposit rating of such Affiliate is no less than the long term deposit rating of such Lender at the time of the assignment, subject to reassignment by such Affiliate to such Lender if at any time it ceases to be an Affiliate of such Lender and prior

notification of any such assignment to the Borrower. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an 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 2.16, ‎2.18 and ‎9.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender (A) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, other than the representation and warranty that it owns the interest being assigned, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, and has taken all action necessary to consummate the transactions pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance; and (B) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial position of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (ii) such assignee (A) represents and warrants that it has taken all action necessary to consummate the transactions pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance; (B) confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections ‎5.01(a) or ‎5.01(b) (or, prior to the first such delivery, the Initial Financial Statements) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (C) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (D) confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (E) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as administrative agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (F) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay to any assignee any amounts under ‎Section 2.16 or ‎2.18 in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay thereunder to the assigning Lender in the absence of such assignment, unless such assignment is made at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payments did not exist.

(c) Following (i) a demand by any Lender pursuant to, or the incurrence by the Borrower of an obligation to make a payment pursuant to, ‎Section 2.16, ‎2.17 or ‎2.18, (ii) any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or (iii) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all the Lenders or all affected Lenders, for which the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained, the failure of any Lender whose consent is required but not obtained to vote in favor of such amendment, modification, waiver or termination, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in ‎Section 9.06(a)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (x) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees (giving effect to ‎Section 2.19 in the event such Lender is a Defaulting Lender) and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (y) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim or obligations under ‎Section 2.16, ‎2.17 or ‎2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (z) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note (which shall be marked “cancelled” by the assigning Lender) a new Note to such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment or Loan, as applicable, assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment or Loan, as applicable, hereunder, a new Note to the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment or Loan, as applicable, retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto.

(e) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in ‎Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and the interest and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is

recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Loans owing to it and any Notes held by it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no Participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections ‎2.16 and ‎2.18 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under ‎Section 2.18(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under ‎Section 2.18(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of ‎Section 2.18(g) as if it had acquired its interest by assignment and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under ‎Section 2.16 or ‎2.18, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Participant and the Commitment of, and the interest and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Participant from time to time (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including the Loans owing to it and the Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any regulation of the Federal Reserve or

other Governmental Authority. No such assignment shall release any Lender from its obligations hereunder.

Section 9.11 Confidentiality. (a) The Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger and each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their business identified as such by the Borrower and obtained by the Administrative Agent, such Joint Lead Arranger or Lender, as the case may be, pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Person’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature and only use such information in connection with its services to, and its relationship with, the Borrower, provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Joint Lead Arranger from disclosing such information (i) to any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Joint Lead Arranger or any officer, director or employee or agent or any attorney or accountant for the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Joint Lead Arranger that agrees to be similarly bound, (ii) to any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Commitments or Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations or to any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations, in each case that agrees to be bound by the provisions of this ‎Section 9.11, (iii) pursuant to any subpoena or upon the Order of any court or administrative agency or upon the request or demand of, or in connection with any investigation, examination or audit by, any governmental agency or authority, whether or not such request or demand shall have the force of Law, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of such subpoena, Order, request or demand (unless such notice is not legally permissible), provided that, except with respect to any audit or examination

Said authorization to disclose is subject to any federal or state securities Laws that reasonably require the parties to keep some or all aspects of the transaction contemplated herein confidential. Furthermore, nothing in this ‎Section 9.11 shall be construed as a waiver of any applicable attorney client privilege or any privilege arising under section 7525 of the Code or any duty of confidentiality on the part of any attorney or accountant under any code of professional conduct that, in each case, relates to communications with respect to the transactions contemplated herein or the execution thereof.

Section 9.12 Jurisdiction, Service of Process, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property and assets, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, in each case sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto (subject, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, to the last sentence of this paragraph) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by Law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Section 9.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

Section 9.14 [Reserved].

Section 9.15 USA PATRIOT Act and 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act and 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with said Act and regulations.

Section 9.16 No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (i) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Lenders is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (i) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (i) the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 9.17 Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified in ‎Article 7 by the Required Lenders to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Loans due and payable pursuant to the provisions of ‎Article 7 and notice to the Borrower as required under ‎Article 7, each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits

(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Debt at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this ‎Section 9.17 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

Section 9.18 Integration. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under the Commitment Documents and any commitment advices submitted by them (but do not supersede any other provisions of the Commitment Documents that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect, except where such provisions conflict with any provision in this Agreement, in which case the latter shall have effect).

Section 9.19 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-in of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

ANNEX I

Pricing Grid



Level:	Ratings (Xxxxx’x/S&P):	Base Rate Margin (% per annum)	Eurodollar Margin (% per annum)	Facility Fee Rate (% per annum)
Level 1	Greater than or equal to A3/A-	0.000	1.000	0.060
Xxxxx 0	Xxx0/XXXx	0.000	0.000	0.000
Xxxxx 0	Xxx0/XXX	0.250	1.250	0.100
Xxxxx 0	Xxx0/XXX-	0.000	1.500	0.125
Level 5	Lower than Baa3/BBB-	0.750	1.750	0.150

In the event of split Ratings from Xxxxx’x and S&P, the foregoing determinations will be based upon the Rating more favorable to the Borrower unless the Ratings differ by more than one Level, in which case the foregoing determinations will be based on the Level that is one Level below that of the more favorable Level (i.e., Level 2 is “below” Level 1).

For purposes of the foregoing: (a) if a Rating Agency shall merge with or into or be acquired by the other Rating Agency, or shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, or shall otherwise cease to have a Rating in effect, then Fitch will be substituted into the Pricing Grid for the Rating Agency from which a Rating is no longer available (with the Fitch equivalent ratings substituted) unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders), and if a Rating from Fitch is not available, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Pricing Grid to replace the reference to the Rating of such Rating Agency with the rating of a rating agency registered with the SEC as a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the foregoing determinations shall be determined by reference to the Rating of the other Rating Agency; provided that if no such agreement is reached after the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) have negotiated in good faith for 90 days, then at the end of such 90 day period and thereafter (until an agreement is reached among the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders)) such Rating Agency shall be deemed to have a Rating available and such Rating shall be deemed to be in Level 5; (b) if any Rating Agency shall not have a Rating in effect for a reason other than one of the reasons set forth in the preceding clause (a), such Rating Agency shall be deemed to have a Rating available and such Rating shall be deemed to be in Level 5; and (c) in the event neither Rating Agency has a Rating in effect, the foregoing determinations will be determined by reference to Level 5.
