(ii) The basis for determining the rate of interest on any Loan, and the Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, shall be selected by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be.

As soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m. on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender.

(v) there shall be no more than five Interest Periods outstanding at any time; and

D. Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal amount of the Loans, reimbursement obligations in respect of the Letters of Credit, interest payments or fees or other amounts payable hereunder are not paid when due, such overdue amount shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable upon demand at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% in excess of the rate otherwise payable with respect to such Loan and (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% in excess of the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans.

2.00% in excess of the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.2D is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Agents or the Lenders.

E. Computation of Interest. Interest payable hereunder shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Loans, and Base Rate Loans at times when the Base Rate is based on the NYFRB Rate or LIBOR, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues.

(i) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders) a letter of credit fee which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans on the average daily aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure. Letter of Credit fees accrued through and including the last day of each Fiscal Quarter shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.

(ii) The Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank a fronting fee which shall accrue at a rate per annum as agreed in writing between the Borrower and such Fronted LC Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure in respect of the Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Fronted LC Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure in respect of Fronted Letters of Credit. Fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each Fiscal Quarter shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.

(iii) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account with respect to Syndicated Letters of Credit and for the account of the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank with respect to the Fronted Letters of Credit, within 10 Business Days after demand, the Administrative Agent’s or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank’s, as applicable, standard administrative fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Syndicated Letter of Credit or Fronted Letters of Credit, respectively, or processing of drawings thereunder. All letter of credit fees and fronting fees will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and will be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

C. Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Arrangers, Agents and the Lenders any applicable fees respectively required to be paid to them in such amounts and payable at such times as separately agreed between them in writing, including as set forth in each Fee Letter.

A. Payments of Loans. The Loans and all other outstanding Obligations shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date.

(i) Commitment Reductions. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time upon not less than three Business Day’s prior irrevocable written notice given to the Administrative Agent, terminate or permanently reduce the unused portion of the Commitments on any Business Day. Any such reduction shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. Any such notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments having been given as aforesaid shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Prepayments. The Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Loans, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000, any portion of the outstanding Loans upon (a) three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans, or (b) one Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative Agent, in the case of a prepayment of Base Rate Loans. Any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall be subject to Section 2.6D.

(i) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. on the date due at the Funding and Payment Office for the account of the Administrative Agent; funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(ii) Payments on Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder; provided that if such next succeeding Business Day occurs in the next calendar month, such payment shall be due and payable on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(iii) Distribution to Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent.

(iv) Interest on Costs and Expenses. If any Lender incurs any cost or expense that this Agreement entitles it to collect from the Borrower, such cost or expense shall be payable together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as then in effect, from the date such cost or expense is incurred until such payment date. Such Lender shall notify the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of the cost or expense to be paid plus the amount of interest thereon. This provision shall not apply to payments or prepayments of principal or to amounts to be applied against principal, interest or any cost or expense to be collected pursuant to Section 2.6D.

(v) Failure to Make Certain Payments. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.11C or Section 9.4, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or any LC Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

A. Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5B (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), and without duplication of any amount paid under Section 2.5B), in the event that any Lender or any Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any Change in Law:

(i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank to any additional Tax (other than any Non-Excluded Tax covered by Section 2.5B and, any Tax described in Section 2.5(B)(i)(i) through (i)(iv)) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder;

(ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve or assessment), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or other insurance charge, liquidity or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank (other than any such reserve or other requirement with respect to LIBOR Loans that is reflected in the definition of LIBOR); or

(iii) imposes any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting this Agreement or such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, subject to Section 2.4C(iv), such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this Section 2.5A, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(i) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax imposed or increased as a result of a Change in Law after the date hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Effective Date) or after the effective date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender) other than (i) a Tax imposed on or measured by the net income of any Lender (including franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof); (ii) a branch profits tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction from

or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of the Borrower; (iii) U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of a Lender or a Fronted LC Issuing Bank with respect to its applicable interest in a Loan or Commitment pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (a) such Lender or Fronted LC Issuing Bank acquires such interest in the Loan or Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 2.7), or (b) such Lender or Fronted LC Issuing Bank changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that pursuant to Section 2.5(B) amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s or Fronted LC Issuing Bank’s assignor immediately before such Lender or Fronted LC Issuing Bank became a party hereto or changed its lending office; or (iv) any Taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA (a “Non-Excluded Tax”).

(ii) Grossing-up of Payments. If the Borrower or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Non-Excluded Tax from any sum paid or payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents:

(a) the Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement;

(b) the Borrower shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on the Borrower) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Lender;

(c) the sum payable by the Borrower in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made;

(d) the Borrower shall indemnify each such Lender, within 30 days after demand by such Lender therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Tax paid or incurred by such Lender with respect to any payment by or obligation of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (including any Non-Excluded Tax imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.5) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (such demand to be made on a certificate stating the amount of such Non-Excluded Tax, which shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error), whether or not such Non-Excluded Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; and

(e) within 30 days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (b) above to pay, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

(a) Each Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower, on or prior to the Effective Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Effective Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (each in

the reasonable exercise of its discretion), two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY (including applicable attachments) or W-8ECI (or any successor forms) or, in the case of a Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a U.S. Tax Certificate and two original copies of Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and/or such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Borrower to establish that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (a), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(b) Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to Section 2.5B(iii)(a) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly (1) deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY (including applicable attachments) or W-8ECI, or the applicable U.S. Tax Certificate and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and/or such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents or (2) notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its legal inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

(c) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Lender under Section 2.5B if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of clause (a) or (b)(1) of this Section 2.5B(iii); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of Section 2.5B(iii)(a) on the Effective Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this Section 2.5B(iii)(c) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.5B(ii)(c) in the event that, as a result of any Change in Law, such Lender is no longer legally permitted to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of withholding.

(iv) Refunds. In the event that an additional payment is made under this Section 2.5B for the account of any Lender and such Lender, in its sole discretion, determines that it has finally and irrevocably received or been granted a credit against or release or remission for, or repayment of, any Tax paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with reference to the deduction or withholding giving rise to such payment, such Lender shall, to the extent that it determines that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment, pay to the Borrower such amount as such Lender shall, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, have determined to be attributable to such deduction or withholding and which will leave such Lender (after such payment) in no worse position than it would have been in if the Borrower had not been required to make such deduction or withholding; provided that the Borrower, upon the request of a Lender, shall repay to such Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (iv) (plus any interest, penalties, or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender to claim any tax credit or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(v) Other Taxes. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

C. Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Adjustment. In the event that any Lender or any Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, any of its applicable lending offices or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, regarding capital adequacy or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Commitments, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans, or the Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, subject to Section 2.4C(iv), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Loans as to the matters covered:

A. Applicable Interest Rate Not Determinable or Unfair. If, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Loans for any Interest Period on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR (including, without limitation,

because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) or (ii) the Requisite Lenders shall determine (and notify the Administrative Agent) prior to the first day of any Interest Period that the LIBOR, as determined by the Administrative Agent, will not fairly and adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding or maintaining their respective LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice (by telecopy or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (a) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and any such LIBOR Loans shall be repaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (b) any Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be made, continued, or converted, as the case may be, as a Base Rate Loan.

B. Illegality or Impracticability of LIBOR Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its LIBOR Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) has become impracticable, or would cause such Lender material hardship, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affect the interbank LIBOR market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telecopy or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (a) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (b) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make its applicable Loan as (or continue its applicable Loan as or convert its applicable Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (c) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding LIBOR Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (d) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.6D, to rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telecopy or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.6B shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, LIBOR Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

C. LIBOR Replacement. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.6A have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.6A have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement

identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to LIBOR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.5, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days after the date written notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Requisite Lenders stating that such Requisite Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2.6C (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.6C, only to the extent the LIBOR Screen Rate and/or such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Conversion/Continuation Notice that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of a LIBOR Loan shall be ineffective and (y) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of a LIBOR Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan; provided, that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

D. Compensation For Breakage. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts) for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its LIBOR Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) any LIBOR Loan of such Lender is not made on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion/Continuation Notice or in a telephonic request for such Borrowing, (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any LIBOR Loan made by such Lender occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan (including as a result of Section 2.7) or (iii) if any prepayment of any LIBOR Loan made by such Lender is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

E. Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.6 and under Sections 2.5A and 2.5C shall be made as though that Lender had actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Loans through the purchase of a LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “LIBOR” in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such LIBOR deposit from an offshore office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the United States of America; provided that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.6 and under Sections 2.5A and 2.5C.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (i) any Lender shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.5, 2.6A or 2.6B (including, without limitation, any such payments resulting from any change by such Lender in the office through which it makes LIBOR Loans), the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within

five Business Days after the Borrower’s request for such withdrawal or (ii) at any time any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (iii) at any time any Lender ceases to be a NAIC Qualified U.S. Financial Institution, then, with respect to each such Lender (a “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign all of its Commitment (if any), any outstanding Credit Exposure and other interests, rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Persons which are Eligible Assignees at such time (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1 (including the consents of the Administrative Agent and each Fronted LC Issuing Bank required thereunder) for a purchase price equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans held by such Terminated Lender and (y) the LC Disbursements funded by such Terminated Lender that have not then been reimbursed by the Borrower, together with accrued interest thereon and accrued and theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender under Section 2.3 to but not including the date of assignment, to be paid by the relevant Replacement Lender on the date of such assignment; provided that (a) on the effective date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender to the date of such assignment pursuant to Section 2.5 or 2.6 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and (b) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for payments under Section 2.5, 2.6A or 2.6B, such assignment will result in the reduction in such payments. Upon the completion of such assignment and the payment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that any right of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering the Loans of such Lender becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.5 or Section 2.6, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts (i) to make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitment of such Lender or the Affected Loans of such Lender through another lending office of such Lender, or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.5 or Section 2.6 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitment or Loans through such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Commitment or Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided that such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending office pursuant to this Section 2.8 unless the Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending office as described in clause (i) above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.8 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

The Borrower may, at any time by notice to the Administrative Agent, propose an increase in the total Commitments hereunder (each such proposed increase being a “Commitment Increase”) either by having a Lender increase its Commitment then in effect (each an “Increasing Lender”) or by adding as a Lender with a new Commitment hereunder a Person which is an Eligible Assignee at such time (each an “Assuming Lender”) in each case with the approval of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably

withheld), which notice shall specify the name of each Increasing Lender and/or Assuming Lender, as applicable, the amount of the Commitment Increase and the portion thereof being assumed by each such Increasing Lender or Assuming Lender, and the date on which such Commitment Increase is to be effective (the “Commitment Increase Date”) (which shall be a Business Day at least three Business Days after delivery of such notice and 30 days prior to the Maturity Date); provided that:

(i) the minimum amount of the increase of the Commitment of any Increasing Lender, and the minimum amount of the Commitment of any Assuming Lender, as part of any Commitment Increase shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000;

(ii) immediately after giving effect to any Commitment Increase, the total Commitments hereunder shall not exceed $575,000,000;

(iii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the relevant Commitment Increase Date or shall result from any Commitment Increase;

(iv) the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the relevant Commitment Increase Date to the same extent as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true, correct and complete in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; and

(v) in the case of any Assuming Lender that is not a Lender immediately prior to such Commitment Increase Date and is not listed on the NAIC Qualified U.S. Financial Institutions List, such Assuming Lender and its Confirming Lender shall have entered into an agreement of the type contemplated in the definition of “Confirming Lender” in Section 1.1.

Each Commitment Increase (and the increase of the Commitment of each Increasing Lender and/or the new Commitment of each Assuming Lender, as applicable, resulting therefrom) shall become effective as of the relevant Commitment Increase Date upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, at or prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Commitment Increase Date, of (A) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower stating that the conditions with respect to such Commitment Increase under this Section 2.9 have been satisfied and (B) an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which, effective as of such Commitment Increase Date, the Commitment of each such Increasing Lender shall be increased or each such Assuming Lender, as applicable, shall undertake a Commitment, duly executed by such Increasing Lender or Assuming Lender, as the case may be, and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, together with such evidence and other related documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request with respect to the Borrower’s authorization of such Commitment Increase and its obligation hereunder. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a fully executed agreement from each Increasing Lender and/or Assuming Lender referred to in clause (B) above, together with the certificate referred to in clause (A) above, the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in each such agreement in the Register and give prompt notice of the relevant Commitment Increase to the Borrower and the Lenders (including, if applicable, each Assuming Lender). On each Commitment Increase Date, the Borrower shall (i) prepay in full the Loans (if any) held by the Lenders that were outstanding immediately prior to giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase, (ii) if the Borrower shall have so requested in accordance with this Agreement, borrow new Loans from all Lenders (including, if applicable, any Assuming Lender) such that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans are held ratably by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) and (iii) pay to the Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.6D.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitment hereunder.

A. General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the request of the Borrower, the Lenders (in the case of Syndicated Letters of Credit) and the Fronted LC Issuing Banks (in the case of Fronted Letters of Credit) agree at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period to issue standby Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. As of the Effective Date, all Existing Fronted Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued on such date as Fronted Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. Letters of Credit issued hereunder (including Existing Fronted Letters of Credit) shall constitute utilization of the Commitments.

Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that the Borrower shall be fully liable hereunder for all obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit, including to reimburse the Lenders (with respect to each such Syndicated Letter of Credit) or the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank (with respect to each such Fronted Letter of Credit), as applicable, hereunder for any and all LC Disbursements and other drawings under such Letter of Credit and to pay all interest, fees and other amounts owing hereunder in respect of such Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof, in each case as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (the Borrower hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of such a Subsidiary that is an account party in respect of any such Letter of Credit). The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of its Subsidiaries.

B. Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by Electronic Systems, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent and (in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit) the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit (and whether such Letter of Credit is to be a Syndicated Letter of Credit or a Fronted Letter of Credit) or (if applicable) identifying the outstanding Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.10E), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and the terms and conditions of (and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend, as the case may be) such Letter of Credit.

With respect to any Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall be in such form as the Borrower may request and as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (with respect to any Syndicated Letter of Credit) or the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank (with respect to any Fronted Letter of Credit to be issued by it) (and which shall not contain provisions that are inconsistent with the terms hereof).

If requested by the Administrative Agent (in the case of a Syndicated Letter of Credit) or the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank (in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit), the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on JPMCB’s (in the case of a Syndicated Letter of Credit) or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank’s (in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit) standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.

In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Administrative Agent (in the case of a Syndicated Letter of Credit) or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank (in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit) relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

C. Issuance and Administration of Syndicated Letters of Credit. Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be issued by all of the Lenders, acting through the Administrative Agent, at the time of issuance as a single multi-bank letter of credit, as provided in this Section 2.10C. The obligation of any Lender under any Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be several and not joint and, in the case of each Syndicated Letter of Credit, shall at any time be in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate undrawn amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit, and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. Without the prior consent of each Lender, no Syndicated Letter of Credit may be issued that would vary the several and not joint nature of the obligations of the Lenders thereunder.

Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be executed and delivered by the Administrative Agent in the name and on behalf of, and as attorney-in-fact for, each Lender party to such Syndicated Letter of Credit, and the Administrative Agent shall act under each Syndicated Letter of Credit, and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly provide that the Administrative Agent shall act, as the agent of each Lender to (a) receive drafts, other demands for payment and other documents presented by the beneficiary under such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (b) determine whether such drafts, demands and documents are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Syndicated Letter of Credit and (c) notify such Lender and the Borrower that a valid drawing has been made and the date that the related LC Disbursement is to be made; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or liability for any LC Disbursement under such Syndicated Letter of Credit, and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer of JPMCB, to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of such Lender each Syndicated Letter of Credit to be issued by such Lender hereunder. Promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender will furnish to the Administrative Agent such powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any Syndicated Letter of Credit may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the Administrative Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Lender to execute and deliver such Syndicated Letter of Credit.

D. Limitations on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate amount of all Commitments and (iii) the Credit Exposure of each Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. In issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Fronted Letter of Credit, the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank may presume that each of clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.10D are satisfied unless notified to the contrary in writing by the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (provided that the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability to such Fronted LC Issuing Bank or any Lender for failing to provide any such notification at any time).

E. Expiry Date. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date after the earlier of (a) the date one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and (b) five business days prior to the Commitment Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Letter of Credit issued in the final year prior to the Maturity Date may expire no later than one year after the Maturity Date so long as the Borrower cash collateralizes an amount equal to 103% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit, by no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, in the manner described in Section 2.10F and otherwise on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank (in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit). In the case of any Letter of Credit that provides for the automatic renewal of the expiry date thereof unless the Administrative Agent or (in the case of any Fronted Letter of Credit) the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall give notice to the beneficiary thereof that such expiry date shall not be renewed, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent (with respect to each Syndicated Letter of Credit) and the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank (with respect to each Fronted Letter of Credit), as applicable, to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms thereof to an expiry date not later than the date permitted under the immediately preceding sentence; provided that the Administrative Agent or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as applicable, will not permit any such extension if (i) the Administrative Agent or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as applicable, has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof or (ii) the Administrative Agent or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as applicable, has received notice, at least seven Business Days (or such lesser number of days as the Administrative Agent or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as applicable, in its sole discretion shall agree to) prior to the last day of the period under the terms of such Letter of Credit during which a notice with respect to non-extension or non-renewal thereof may be provided to the beneficiary thereunder, from the Borrower or (upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default or at any time upon or following the termination of the Commitments) the Requisite Lenders, in each case, requesting that such Letter of Credit not be permitted to extend (whereupon the Administrative Agent or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall promptly provide such notice in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit).

F. Provision of Cash Collateral. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral in respect of the outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall immediately deposit into an account established and maintained on the books and records of the Administrative Agent, which account may be a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “Uniform Commercial Code”)), in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders and (with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit) the Fronted LC Issuing Banks, an amount in cash equal to 105% of the aggregate LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.6 or Section 7.7. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the LC Exposure under this Agreement, and for this purpose the Borrower hereby grants a security interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Fronted LC Issuing Banks in such collateral account and in any financial assets (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) or other property held therein.

G. Replacement of Fronted LC Issuing Bank. Any Fronted LC Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Fronted LC Issuing Bank and the successor Fronted LC Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall

notify the Lenders of any such replacement of a Fronted LC Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the replaced Fronted LC Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.3. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Fronted LC Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Fronted LC Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Fronted LC Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Fronted LC Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Fronted LC Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Fronted Letters of Credit.

H. Non-NAIC Qualified U.S. Financial Institutions. If, at any time after the Effective Date, a Lender ceases to be a NAIC Qualified U.S. Financial Institution, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof. At any time after the Effective Date in the event any Lender shall qualify as a NAIC Qualified U.S. Financial Institution hereunder by reason of entering into an agreement as contemplated hereby with a Confirming Lender which is a NAIC Qualified U.S. Financial Institution and such Confirming Lender ceases to be a NAIC Qualified U.S. Financial Institution, such Lender and such Confirming Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof.

I. Fronted LC Issuing Bank Agreements. Each Fronted LC Issuing Bank agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, such Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each month, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of its Fronted Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding month, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements (it being understood and agreed that no such reports shall be required at any time during which such Fronted LC Issuing Bank does not have Fronted Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder), (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Fronted LC Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Fronted Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Fronted Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Fronted Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Fronted LC Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Fronted LC Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount and currency of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

A. Reimbursement. If any Lender or (in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit) the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees that it shall reimburse such Lender or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in respect of such LC Disbursement under a Letter of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent in Dollars an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i)

the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time.

With respect to Fronted Letters of Credit, if the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank and each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect of such Fronted Letter of Credit and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof.

B. Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.11A shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Lender or (in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit) the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse such LC Disbursements unless payment is made against presentation of a draft or other document that at least substantially complies with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iv) the occurrence of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default, (v) the existence of any proceedings of the type described in Section 7.6 or Section 7.7 with respect to any guarantor of any of such reimbursement obligations, (vi) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of such reimbursement obligations against any guarantor of any of such reimbursement obligations, or (vii) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.11, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Lender or any LC Issuing Bank nor any of its respective Affiliates or any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond their control; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or a LC Issuing Bank. The parties hereto expressly agree that:

(i) the Administrative Agent or (in the case of Fronted Letters of Credit) the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(ii) the Administrative Agent or (in the case of Fronted Letters of Credit) the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(iii) in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent or (in the case of Fronted Letters of Credit) the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Administrative Agent or (in the case of Fronted Letters of Credit) the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.

C. Lenders’ Participations in Fronted Letters of Credit. By the issuance (or, in the case of the Existing Fronted Letters of Credit, the deemed issuance) of a Fronted Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Fronted Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by any Fronted LC Issuing Bank, and without any further action on the part of such Fronted LC Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Fronted LC Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, a participation in such Fronted Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Fronted Letter of Credit. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Fronted Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Fronted Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments.

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Fronted LC Issuing Bank of each Fronted Letter of Credit, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each LC Disbursement made by such Fronted LC Issuing Bank in respect of such Fronted Letter of Credit promptly upon the request of such Fronted LC Issuing Bank at any time from the time such LC Disbursement is made until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11A, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.11C to reimburse such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and/or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as applicable. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11C to reimburse any Fronted LC Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(i) The following provisions shall apply to Syndicated Letters of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any Syndicated Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly after such examination (i) notify each of the Lenders and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and (ii) deliver to each Lender a copy of each document purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Syndicated Letter of Credit. With respect to any drawing properly made under a Syndicated Letter of Credit, each Lender will make an LC Disbursement in respect of such Syndicated Letter of Credit in accordance with its liability under such Syndicated Letter of Credit and this Agreement, such LC Disbursement to be made to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The

Administrative Agent will make any such LC Disbursement available to the beneficiary of such Syndicated Letter of Credit by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account identified by such beneficiary in connection with such demand for payment. Promptly following any LC Disbursement by any Lender in respect of any Syndicated Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of such LC Disbursement; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(ii) The following provisions shall apply to Fronted Letters of Credit. The relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Fronted Letter of Credit. Such Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Fronted LC Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Fronted LC Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

E. Interim Interest. If any LC Disbursement with respect to a Letter of Credit is made, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.11A, Section 2.2D shall apply. With respect to any Fronted Letter of Credit, interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11C to reimburse such LC Issuing Bank shall be for account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

F. Non-Receipt of Funds from Lenders. If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent or any Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as applicable, any amount required to be paid by such Lender in respect of any Letter of Credit by the time specified herein, the Administrative Agent (with respect to each Syndicated Letter of Credit) (to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall have funded such amount on behalf of such Lender, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or liability to fund any amount under any Syndicated Letter of Credit other than in its capacity as a Lender thereunder) and the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank (with respect to each Fronted Letter of Credit), as applicable, shall, through the Administrative Agent, be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, as applicable, with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.11F shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i) With respect to Syndicated Letters of Credit, upon (a) each increase of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.9, (b) the assignment by a Lender of all or a portion of its Commitment and its interests in the Syndicated Letters of Credit pursuant to an Assignment Agreement or (c) each reallocation or readjustment pursuant to Section 2.12(c), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each beneficiary under an outstanding Syndicated Letter of Credit of the Lenders that are parties to such Syndicated Letter of Credit and their respective Pro Rata Share as of the effective date of, and after giving effect to, such increase, assignment, reallocation or readjustment, as the case may be.

(ii) With respect to Fronted Letters of Credit, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon (a) each increase of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.9, each Lender’s participation in each Fronted Letter of Credit then outstanding shall automatically be adjusted to reflect its Pro Rata Share after giving effect to such increase, (b) the assignment by a Lender of all or a portion of its Commitment and its interests in the Fronted Letters of Credit pursuant to an Assignment Agreement respective assigning Lender’s participation in each Fronted Letter of Credit then outstanding shall automatically be adjusted to reflect, and the respective assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire a participation in each such Fronted Letter of Credit in an amount equal to, its Pro Rata Share and (c) each any reallocation or readjustment pursuant to Section 2.12(c), each Lender’s participation interests in each Fronted Letter of Credit then outstanding shall automatically be adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Pro Rata Share after giving effect to such reallocation or readjustment.

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

(a) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3A;

(b) the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.5), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification (i) described in Section 8.5(A)(i) and 8.5(B)(i), (ii) requiring the consent of all Lenders or (iii) each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender in a manner more adversely than other affected Lenders shall, in each case, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(i) all or any part of such LC Exposure with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Exposures and such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the aggregate amount of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 3.2(ii) and Section 3.2(iii) are satisfied at such time; and

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure with respect to each Fronted Letter of Credit only (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.10F for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3B(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3B(i) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share; and

(v) if all or any portion of any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any LC Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.3B(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure with respect to any Fronted Letter of Credit shall be payable to the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Fronted Letter of Credit, unless such Fronted LC Issuing Bank is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.12(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Fronted Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.12(c)(i) (and the Defaulting Lender(s) shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Person as to which any Lender is, directly or indirectly, a subsidiary shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Fronted LC Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, reasonably satisfactory to such Fronted LC Issuing Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and (if there are any Fronted Letters of Credit then outstanding) the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Banks agree that a Lender which is a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment (including readjusting the Lenders’ respective participation interests in any outstanding Fronted Letters of Credit and the Lender’s respective Pro Rata Shares of any outstanding Syndicated Letters of Credit) and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

Since December 31, 2016, no event or change has occurred that has caused or evidences, or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.6, there are no actions, suits, proceedings (whether administrative, judicial or otherwise), arbitrations or governmental investigations (whether or not purportedly on behalf of the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) at law or in equity, or before or by any Governmental Authority, domestic or foreign (including any Environmental Claims), that are pending or, to the knowledge of the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any property of the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and that (i) individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) involve any of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, or is maintained under a prototype or volume submitter plan and may rely on a favorable opinion or advisory letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to such prototype or volume submitter plan, and the ~~Parent~~Borrower is not aware of any circumstances likely to result in revocation of such favorable determination, opinion or advisory letter.

B. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA (other than required contributions which have been timely made when due) has been or is expected to be incurred by the ~~Parent~~Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate, and no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, in each case that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

C. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of the ~~Parent~~Borrower and its Subsidiaries that have not been accrued on the ~~Parent~~’ sBorrower’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106. The ~~Parent~~Borrower has retained the right to amend or terminate its retiree medical arrangements at any time.

D. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the ~~Parent~~Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate (determined as of the beginning of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the actuarial value of the assets of each such Pension Plan, in each case by an amount which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

A. Neither the ~~Parent~~Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Facilities or operations are subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

B. As of the Effective Date, neither the ~~Parent~~Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of CERCLA or any comparable state law.

C. There are and, to the ~~Parent~~’sBorrower’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, have been no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

D. Compliance with all current or reasonably anticipated future requirements pursuant to or under Environmental Laws is not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

There are no contractual restrictions on the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transfer of cash or other assets from any Subsidiary to the ~~Parent~~Borrower, other than prohibitions or restrictions permitted under Section 6.4.

No Insurance License, the suspension, revocation, termination, non-renewal or limitation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, is the subject of a proceeding for suspension, revocation, termination, non-renewal or limitation and, to the knowledge of the ~~Parent~~Borrower and its Subsidiaries, no such suspension, revocation, termination, non-renewal or limitation has been threatened by any Governmental Authority. No Insurance Subsidiary transacts any Insurance Business, directly or indirectly, in any jurisdiction where such business requires any Insurance License that is not validly maintained by such Insurance Subsidiary, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No representation or warranty of the Borrower contained in any of the Loan Documents or in any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to any of the Agents or any of the Lenders by or on behalf of the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement contained as of the date such document or certificate was so furnished any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact (known to the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in the case of any document not furnished by any of them) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the ~~Parent~~Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Agents and the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results. There are no facts known to the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to each of the Agents for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

None of (a) the ~~Parent~~Borrower, any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the ~~Parent~~Borrower, any of their respective directors, officers or employees, or (b) to the knowledge of the ~~Parent~~Borrower, any agent of the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person.

(ii) No Borrowing, use of proceeds or other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions.

The Borrower covenants and agrees that, so long as the Commitments hereunder shall remain in effect and until payment in full of the Loans and all other Obligations (other than indemnification and other contingent obligations that by the terms of this Agreement survive termination and as to which no demand shall have been made or given) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (or the cash collateralization thereof on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (with respect to outstanding Syndicated Letters of Credit) or the relevant Fronted LC Issuing Bank (with respect to outstanding Fronted Letters of Credit)), unless the provisions of this Section 5 are waived or amended in accordance with Section 8.5, the Borrower shall perform all covenants in this Section 5.

At any time after the execution and delivery thereof, (i) this Agreement for any reason shall cease to be in full force and effect (other than by reason of the satisfaction in full of the Obligations) or shall be declared null and void or (ii) any Credit Party shall contest the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document to which it is a party or deny in writing that it has any further liability under any Loan Document to which it is a party; or

THEN (i) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 7.6, Section 7.7 or Section 7.9 (but in each such case solely with regards to the Borrower) the Commitments shall automatically terminate and each of the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on the Loans and all other Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable, in each case, without presentment, demand, protest or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower and each Credit Party party to any Loan Document and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any other Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the written request or with the written consent of the Requisite Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, (a) in the case of an Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing pursuant to Section 7.1(ii) with respect to non-payment of fees due under this Agreement, terminate the Commitments, (b) declare all or any portion of the amounts described in clause (i) above to be, and the same shall forthwith become, immediately due and payable and/or (c) demand provision of cash collateral from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10F.

A. Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons which are Eligible Assignees at the time of such sale, assignment or transfer, including all or a portion of its Commitment, Loans owing to it, interests and/or obligations in respect of Letters of Credit or other Obligations (provided that each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Loan and any related Commitment) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(i) the Borrower, provided that (x) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee and (y) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such sale, assignment or transfer unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(ii) the Administrative Agent, unless a Loan is being assigned to any existing Lender, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund; and

provided, further, that each such partial assignment pursuant to this Section 8.1A shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Borrower (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Commitment, Loans and interests in Letters of Credit of the assigning Lender).

B. Requirements. The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with (i) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (paid by the assigning Lender or the assignee), and (ii) such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.5B(iii) as if such assignee was a Lender pursuant to that Section.

C. Acceptance and Notice of Assignment. Upon its receipt of a duly executed and completed Assignment Agreement, together with the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 8.1B (and any form, certificate or other evidence required by this Agreement in connection therewith), the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in such Assignment Agreement in the Register, shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and shall maintain a copy of such Assignment Agreement.

D. Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8.1, as of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 8.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided that, anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such

assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitments of such assignee and of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Borrower shall issue and deliver a new Note, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

E. Certain Other Permitted Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 8.1, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender, to any Person, including any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having authority over such Lender, as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the FRB and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank; provided that no Lender, as between the Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and/or pledge or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

F. Assignment to a Special Purpose Funding Vehicle. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPFV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPFV to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPFV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPFV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPFV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior Indebtedness of any SPFV, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPFV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.1G, any SPFV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPFV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPFV.

G. Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than a Group Member or its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitment, Loans, interests and/or obligations in respect of its other Obligations. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates)

or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof) or (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.6C and 2.5 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.5B(iii)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 8.1A; provided that a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.5 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, 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. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 8.18 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts and stated interest of each Participant’s interest in the Commitments and the Loans under this Agreement (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, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly (i) all actual, documented and reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Arranger and each Agent in connection with the syndication of this Agreement and the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, including charges for the use of IntraLinks; (ii) all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for the Borrower; (iii) the reasonable and documented fees, out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Arrangers and the Agents in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by the Borrower; (iv) all actual, documented and reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications of the Loan Documents (including the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent in connection therewith); and (v) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement, incurred by either Arranger, any Agent or Lender in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from the Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by reason of such Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any collateral) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in each case in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.

A. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 8.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless each of the Arrangers and Agents, each Fronted LC Issuing Bank and each Lender, and the respective partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, other advisors and affiliates of each of the Arrangers and each of the Agents, each Fronted LC Issuing Bank and each Lender (collectively called the “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that the Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to (i) arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnitees (as defined below), (ii) result from a material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations hereunder (as determined pursuant to a claim made by the Borrower) or (iii) arise from any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than any claims against any Agent or Arranger in its capacity, or in fulfilling its role, as an agent, arranger or any similar role under the Loan Documents and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Borrower or its Affiliates. As used herein, (i) “Indemnified Liabilities” means, collectively, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (including natural resource damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims (including Environmental Claims), costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by any Person, whether or not any such Indemnitee shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and any fees or expenses incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity), whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations (including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations and Environmental Laws), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the Lenders’ agreements to make any Credit Extension hereunder or the use or intended use of the proceeds thereof, or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, but shall not include Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from a non-tax claim) and (ii) “Related Indemnitee” of an Indemnitee means (1) any Controlling Person or Controlled Affiliate of such Indemnitee, (2) the respective directors, officers, or employees of such Indemnitee or any of its Controlling Persons or Controlled Affiliates and (3) the respective agents or representatives of such Indemnitee or any of its Controlling Persons or Controlled Affiliates, in the case of this clause (3), acting on behalf of or at the instructions of such Indemnitee, Controlling Person or such Controlled Affiliate. As used in this Section 8.3A, “Control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a Person, whether through the ability to exercise voting power, by contract or otherwise, and the terms “Controlling” and “Controlled” have meanings correlative thereto. If any claim or proceeding is commenced as to which any of the Indemnitees proposes to demand indemnification, such Indemnitees shall notify the Borrower with reasonable promptness; provided that any failure to so notify the Borrower shall not relieve any Credit Party from its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure materially and adversely affects the Borrower.

B. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 8.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

C. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the ~~Parent~~Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against the Lenders, the Agents, Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Credit Extension hereunder or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and the ~~Parent~~Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the Agents and each Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates, is hereby authorized by the Credit Parties at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Credit Parties or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Agent or such Lender, or their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the ~~Parent~~Borrower and its Subsidiaries against and on account of any obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which are then due and payable, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (i) such Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees that it will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any exercise of such Lender’s rights pursuant to Section 8.4; provided that no failure of such Lender to deliver such notice shall affect the rights of such Lender hereunder.

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by the Credit Parties therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders; provided that (A) no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (i) extend or reduce the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note, (ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment), (iii) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable hereunder, (iv) extend the time for payment of any such interest or fees, (v) increase or reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Note, (vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Section 8.5, (vii) amend, modify or replace the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”, (viii) amend Section 2.4C in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, (ix) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Credit Parties of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (x) amend Section 2.6C with respect to an alternative rate of interest; (B) no such amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by the Credit Parties therefrom, shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender, (ii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Agreement as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent or (iii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of

this Agreement as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Fronted LC Issuing Bank, in each case without the consent of such Fronted LC Issuing Bank (it being understood that any change to Section 2.12 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and each Fronted LC Issuing Bank) and (C) no Guarantor shall be released from its Guarantee under any Guarantee Agreement (except as expressly provided in such Guarantee Agreement or this Agreement) or limit its liability in respect of such Guarantee without written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent without prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may also amend the Schedule 1.2 to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 8.1. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Credit Parties in any case shall entitle the Credit Parties to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

A. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all notices or other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier or Electronic Systems) and mailed, sent by overnight courier, telecopied, e-mailed, or delivered to, (i) in the case of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at its address, telecopy number or (if any) email address set forth on the signature pages hereto and (ii) in the case of each Lender and each Fronted LC Issuing Bank, at the address, telecopy number or email address set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire, or, as to each party, at such other address, telecopy number or email address or to such other person as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to all other parties. Any notice, request or demand to or upon the parties hereto shall not be effective until received.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through Electronic Systems, to the extent provided in Section 8.7B, shall be effective as provided therein.

B. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Fronted LC Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

C. Any party hereto may change its address (including e-mail address) or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

(i) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to any Fronted LC Issuing Bank and the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System.

(ii) Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives) (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Fronted LC Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through an Electronic System, except to the extent of direct or actual damages as are determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Fronted LC Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.

A. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Credit Extension hereunder.

B. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of the Credit Parties set forth in Sections 2.5, 2.6C, 8.2 and 8.3 and the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Sections 8.17, 8.18, 9.2C and 9.4 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

No failure or delay on the part of either Arranger, any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Arranger, each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any other Loan Document. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

No Agent or Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Credit Parties or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Credit Parties make a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders) or the Administrative Agent or the Lenders enforce any security interests or exercises their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

The Credit Parties may not assign or delegate their respective rights under the Loan Documents or any

interest therein without the prior written consent of each Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST THE CREDIT PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY OBLIGATIONS THEREUNDER, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND IN ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF.

The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including contract

Each party hereto further warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 8.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

Each Lender shall hold all non-public information received by it regarding the ~~Parent~~Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their businesses in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, it being understood and agreed by the Borrower that, in any event, each Lender may make disclosures (i) to Affiliates of such Lender and its and their respective agents and advisors (and to other persons authorized by a Lender to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 8.17) (it being understood that each such person to which such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential; provided that such Lender shall be responsible for any breach of confidentiality by such person); (ii) reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by any Lender of its Loans or any interest therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Credit Parties and their respective obligations; provided that, prior to any disclosure, such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are informed of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 8.17 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 8.17; (iii) to any rating agency when required by it; provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the ~~Parent~~Borrower or its Subsidiaries received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender; (iv) required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal process; provided that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information; and (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; and provided, further, that in no event shall any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, the Loans and the Credit Extensions.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION DESCRIBED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ~~PARENT~~BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL SUCH INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE CREDIT PARTIES OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE ~~PARENT~~BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE CREDIT PARTIES AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of facility fees or commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender), which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect to of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Credit Parties or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The ~~Parent~~Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same

instrument. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mailed.pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by any of the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any of the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising hereunder and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. As used herein, “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws applicable to any Lender which are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.

Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, such Lender may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (a) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions among the ~~Parent~~Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (b) the Credit Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate and (c) each Credit Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (a) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the ~~Parent~~Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person and (b) none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Arrangers has any obligation to any of the Credit Parties, their Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the ~~Parent~~Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Arrangers has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any of the ~~Parent~~Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates.

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:

(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 entity, 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.

A. A ~~Subsidiary~~ Guarantor ~~(other than the Borrower)~~ shall be automatically released from its obligations under (x) the Loan Documents upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which (i) such ~~Subsidiary~~ Guarantor shall cease to be a Subsidiary or (ii) such ~~Subsidiary~~ Guarantor no longer incurs, borrows or Guarantees any Material Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness among Group Members) and (y) any Guarantee Agreement to the extent provided therein.

B. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 8.25, the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of any certificates or other documents reasonably requested by it to confirm compliance with this Agreement, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower or the applicable Credit Party, at the Borrower’s expense, all documents that the Borrower or such Credit Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to take all actions specified in this Section 8.25.

JPMCB is hereby appointed by each Lender as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its contractual representative in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Agent hereby agrees to act upon the express conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and the Borrower and the other Group Members shall have no rights as third party beneficiaries of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each of the Agents shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the ~~Parent~~Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

A. Powers; Duties Specified. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents, employees and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agent, employee or attorney-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Each Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between such Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to such Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document. No Agent shall have,

by reason of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Administrative Agent is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against any Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.

B. No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of the Group Members or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations or Affiliate of the Group Members or any such Person, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or to make disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component amounts thereof.

C. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received written instructions in respect thereof from the Requisite Lenders (or such other number of Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 8.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the ~~Parent~~Borrower and its Subsidiaries or employees of any Agent), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number of Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 8.5).

D. Administrative Agent Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and Letters of Credit, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own Securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Group Members or any of their Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Group Members for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

E. Syndication Agent and Co-Documentation Agents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents named on the cover page of this Agreement shall not have any duties or liabilities under this Agreement, except in their capacity, if any, as a Lenders or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no such Person shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.

Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the ~~Parent~~Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making of the Loans and issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the ~~Parent~~Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of any Credit Extension hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders.

Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Fronted LC Issuing Bank, to the extent that such Agent or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent or as a Fronted LC Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against such Agent or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank in connection with any dispute between such Agent or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank and any Lender or between two or more Lenders); provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent or any Fronted LC Issuing Bank for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent or such Fronted LC Issuing Bank may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and signed by the Requisite Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to select a successor Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required for the Requisite Lenders to appoint any Lender as the Administrative Agent or at any time that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

The Credit Parties hereby acknowledge their understanding that each of the Arrangers, each of the Agents and each of the Lenders may from time to time effect transactions (for its own account or the account of customers), and hold positions in loans or options on loans that may be the subject of this arrangement. In addition, certain Affiliates of the Lenders are full service securities firms and as such may from time to time effect transactions (for their own account or the account of customers), and hold positions, in loans or options on loans or securities or options on securities that may be the subject of this arrangement. In addition, each of the Arrangers, each of the Agents and each of the Lenders may employ the services of its affiliates in providing certain services hereunder and may exchange with such affiliates information concerning the Group Members and other companies that may be the subject of this arrangement.

Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the NYFRB Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable income, stamp or other taxes, imposts, duties, charges, or fees imposed, levied, collected or assessed by any Governmental Authority. Without

limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.5, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after written demand therefor, (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) and (ii) any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold any amounts from payments to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of such required withholding ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.8. The agreements in this Section 9.8 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations.

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

“Moody’s Rating” means, at any time, the then current rating by Moody’s (including the failure to rate) of the Borrower’s senior, unsecured, non-credit-enhanced long-term indebtedness for money borrowed.

“S&P Rating” means, at any time, the then current rating by S&P (including the failure to rate) of the Borrower’s senior, unsecured, non-credit-enhanced long-term indebtedness for money borrowed.

For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if only one of S&P and Moody’s shall have in effect such a public debt rating, the Rating Level will be Level 5 (except as a result of either S&P or Moody’s, as the case may be, ceasing to be in the business of issuing public debt ratings, in which case the Rating Level shall be determined by reference to the available rating); (b) if neither S&P nor Moody’s shall have in effect such a public debt rating, the applicable Rating Level will be Level 6; (c) if such public debt ratings established by S&P and Moody’s shall fall within different levels, the public debt rating will be determined by the higher of the two ratings; provided that in the event that the lower of such public debt ratings is more than one level below the higher of such public debt ratings, the public debt rating will be determined based upon the level that is one level above the lower of such public debt ratings; (d) if any such public debt rating established by S&P or Moody’s shall be changed, such change shall be effective as of the date on which such change is first announced publicly by the rating agency making such change.
