Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On October 17, 2017, The Brink’s Company (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Agreement”) evidencing a senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, an Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, and various other Lenders named therein, consisting of a $1,000 million revolving credit facility and a $500 million term loan A facility. The proceeds of the loans and other extensions of credit under the Credit Facility will be used to (i) refinance existing indebtedness under the Company’s prior $525 million Credit Agreement, dated as of March 20, 2015 (as amended, the “Previous Agreement”), among the Company, certain subsidiary borrowers and guarantors and various agents and lenders, which Previous Agreement was terminated on October 17, 2017 and pay fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Facility; and (ii) finance working capital needs, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Company and its subsidiary borrowers borrowed approximately $120 million (U.S. dollar equivalent) under the Credit Facility at closing and used the proceeds, together with the proceeds of the term loan, to repay the aggregate principal amount outstanding and interest due under the Previous Agreement, to pay fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes, including prepayment of certain other existing indebtedness. No early termination penalties were paid by the Company in respect of the termination of the Previous Agreement.
Loans under the Credit Facility will mature on October 17, 2022 and the obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, including a first-priority lien on equity interests of certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries guaranty the obligations under the Credit Facility. The term loan is repayable in consecutive quarterly installments on the last business day of each of March, June, September and December commencing on December 29, 2017 in an amount equal to 1.25% of the principal amount of the term loans extended on the closing date.

The Agreement also provides for the ability of the Company to increase the maximum amount of the revolving credit facility or incur additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of $200 million plus an unlimited amount subject to a pro forma Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Agreement) of 3.50 to 1.00, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.

The Agreement generally provides for revolving credit loans in multiple currencies at interest rates equal to the LIBOR Rate, the Canadian Base Rate, the CDOR Rate or the Alternate Base Rate (each as defined in the Agreement) plus a margin that varies depending upon the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Agreement). The Credit Facility has a $75

2


million sublimit for swingline loans and such loans bear interest at the LIBOR Market Index Rate (as defined in the Agreement) plus a margin. In addition, the Company has the option to request loans in Mexican Pesos or Euros pursuant to a separate swingline subfacility of up to a maximum aggregate amount of $140 million. The revolving credit facility is available for issuance of letters of credit, subject to a sublimit of $150 million. Fees are payable on issued and outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the product of the average daily undrawn amount of such letters of credit and the margin then in effect for loans which bear interest at the LIBOR Rate. Fronting fees and customary charges of each issuing lender are also payable on letters of credit. Subject to the conditions stated in the Agreement, the Company may prepay and reborrow amounts under the Credit Facility at any time and from time to time during the term of the Agreement.
The Agreement contains representations, warranties, terms and conditions customary for transactions of this type. These include covenants limiting the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to (1) incur liens on its assets, (2) dispose of its assets or any Restricted Subsidiary (as defined in the Agreement), (3) enter into certain transactions with affiliates and unrestricted subsidiaries, (4) make acquisitions, loans and other investments, (5) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (6) enter into mergers, consolidations and similar combinations, (7) make Restricted Payments (as defined in the Agreement), (8) incur indebtedness, (9) enter into restrictive agreements, (10) prepay or modify certain indebtedness or (11) change its nature of business. The Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain (i) a “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio” that is not greater than 4.00 to 1.00 (subject to the following sentence) and (ii) an “Interest Coverage Ratio” that is not less than 3.00 to 1.00, in each case with compliance tested at the end of each fiscal quarter, starting with the first fiscal quarter after the closing of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility provides that the Company may, from time to time, increase the level of the maximum “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio” covenant to 4.50 to 1.00 for a period of four fiscal quarters in connection with certain “Permitted Acquisitions,” subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Facility. (Capitalized terms in quotation marks in this paragraph are defined in the Credit Facility.)

The Agreement contains certain events of default, including (1) failure to pay principal, interest or any other amount owing on any other obligation under the Agreement, (2) material incorrectness of representations and warranties when made, (3) breach of covenants, (4) failure to pay principal or interest on any other debt that equals or exceeds $50 million when due, (5) default on any other debt that equals or exceeds $50 million that causes an acceleration of such debt, (6) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Agreement), (7) bankruptcy and insolvency events and (8) entry by a court of one or more judgments against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the aggregate amount in excess of $50 million that remain unbonded, undischarged or unstayed for a certain number of days after the entry thereof. If any event of default occurs and is not cured within applicable grace periods set forth in the Agreement or waived, all loans and other obligations could become due and immediately payable and the Credit Facility could be terminated.

All amounts under the Agreement are due on the earliest of (1) October 17, 2022 (2) the date of termination specified by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the lenders upon the occurrence of any event of default under the Agreement and (3) the date of termination specified by the Company.

3


The Company and its affiliates regularly engage many of the banks party to the Agreement, among others, to provide other banking services. All of these engagements are negotiated at arm’s length.
This description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the entire Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Offering of Senior Notes
On October 20, 2017, the Company closed its previously announced private offering of $600 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The 2027 Notes were issued pursuant to a senior notes indenture dated as of October 20, 2017 (the "Indenture") by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from this offering to repay certain existing indebtedness and certain fees and expenses related to the closing of the transaction. Remaining net proceeds are expected to be used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Indenture
The Notes are governed by the Indenture and will bear interest at a rate of 4.625% per year, payable semiannually in arrears in cash on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2018. The Notes will mature on October 15, 2027.
The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes on or after October 15, 2022 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. The Company may also redeem some or all of the Notes at any time prior to October 15, 2022 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium described in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at any time before October 15, 2020, with net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at the applicable redemption price set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. If the Company experiences specific kinds of changes in control or certain assets are sold, it may also be required to offer to purchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the repurchase date.
If an event of default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have happened and be continuing, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture, declare the principal amount of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such declaration, to be immediately due and payable. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, the principal amount of the Notes and any unpaid interest accrued thereon through the occurrence of such event shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable.

4


The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Notes will rank senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness, will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness, will be effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness and will be structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors.
The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to (i) grant or permit liens, (ii) declare or pay dividends, make distributions on or redeem or repurchase the Company’s capital stock; (iii) engage in sale/leaseback transactions and (iv) engage in a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantial all of their assets. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications.
The Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the material terms of the Indenture above is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 4.1.

with a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) greater than $10.0 million, shall have occurred since the first day of any twelve month period for which Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is being calculated, such calculation shall give pro forma effect to such Asset Disposition or Asset Acquisition including, for the avoidance of doubt, any indebtedness incurred in connection with such Asset Disposition or Asset Acquisition.
For the purposes of calculating Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, “Asset Acquisition” means any acquisition of property or series of related acquisitions of property that constitutes all or substantially all of the assets of a business, unit or division of a Person or constitutes all or substantially all of the common stock (or equivalent) of a Person; and “Asset Disposition” means any disposition of property or series of related dispositions of property that involves all or substantially all of the assets of a business, unit or division of a Person or constitutes all or substantially all of the common stock (or equivalent) of a Subsidiary.

In calculating Consolidated Fixed Charges for purposes of determining the denominator (but not the numerator) of this Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio:



-8-

(a)    interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Indebtedness in effect on the Transaction Date (although interest with respect to any Indebtedness for periods while the same was actually outstanding during the respective period shall be calculated using the actual rates applicable thereto while the same was actually outstanding);
(b)    if interest on any Indebtedness actually incurred on the Transaction Date may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four-Quarter Period (although interest with respect to any Indebtedness for periods while the same was actually outstanding during the respective period shall be calculated using the actual rates applicable thereto while the same was actually outstanding); and
(c)    notwithstanding clause (a) or (b) above, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements relating to Hedging Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of these agreements.
Consolidated Fixed Charges” for any period means the sum, without duplication, of (a) Consolidated Interest Expense of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, plus (b) the product of (x) all dividend payments on any series of Disqualified Equity Interests of the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary or any Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any such Disqualified Equity Interests or any Preferred Stock held by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or to the extent paid in Qualified Equity Interests) for such period, multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is one minus the then current combined federal, state and local statutory tax rate of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, expressed as a decimal.

Consolidated Net Income” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the net income (or loss), after taxes, of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period as

The Issuer will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when reasonably requested by the Trustee. The Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Issuer’s calculations without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward the Issuer’s calculations referred to above in this paragraph to any Holder of the Notes upon the written request of such Holder.
SECTION 2.05.    Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust.
The Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or premium or interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by the Issuer, one or more of the Guarantors or any other obligor on the Notes), and the Issuer and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. Money held in trust by a Paying Agent need not be segregated except as required by law and in no event shall a Paying Agent be liable for any interest on any money received by it hereunder. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2), upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith all money so held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon making such payment, such Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.
SECTION 2.06.    Noteholder Lists.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Noteholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Noteholders.
SECTION 2.07.    Transfer and Exchange.



-28-

Subject to Sections 2.16 and 2.17, when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request from the Holder of such Notes to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorneys duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall issue and execute and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes (and the Guarantors shall execute the Guarantees thereon) evidencing such transfer or exchange. No service charge shall be made to the Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange. The Issuer or the Trustee may require from the Noteholder payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer taxes or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.06, 4.08 or 8.05 (in which events the Issuer shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes). The Issuer and the Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the mailing of notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or of any Note selected, called or being called for redemption except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of the beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture.
SECTION 2.08.    Replacement Notes.
If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note (and the Guarantors shall execute the Guarantees thereon) if the Holder of such Note furnishes to the Issuer and the Trustee evidence reasonably acceptable to them of the ownership and the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and if the requirements of Section 8‑405 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date of this Indenture are met. An indemnity bond shall also be posted, sufficient in the judgment of all to protect the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Registrar and any Paying Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge such Holder for the Issuer’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing such Note and the Trustee may charge the Issuer for the Trustee’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in replacing such Note and may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment, fee or other charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Every replacement Note shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer. The



-29-

provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of lost, destroyed, mutilated or wrongfully taken Notes.
SECTION 2.09.    Outstanding Notes.
The Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for (a) those canceled by or on behalf of the Trustee, (b) those accepted by the Trustee for cancellation, (c) to the extent set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02, on or after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 or 9.02 have been satisfied, those Notes theretofore authenticated by the Trustee hereunder and (d) those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 2.10, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or one of its Affiliates holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and the replacement Note is cancelled by the Trustee.
If a Paying Agent holds, in its capacity as such, on any Maturity Date, U.S. Dollars sufficient to pay all accrued interest and principal with respect to the Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.
SECTION 2.10.    Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any declaration of acceleration or notice of default or direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Issuer or any other Affiliate of the Issuer shall be disregarded as though they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actually received an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee established to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer, a Guarantor, any other obligor on the Notes or any of their respective Affiliates.
SECTION 2.11.    Temporary Notes.
Until definitive Notes are prepared and ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for



-30-

temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes.
SECTION 2.12.    Cancellation.
The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Notes in its customary manner. The Issuer may not reissue or resell or issue new Notes to replace Notes that the Issuer has redeemed or paid, or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
SECTION 2.13.    Defaulted Interest.
If the Issuer defaults on a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes plus (to the extent permitted by law) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Persons who are Holders thereof on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date. If such default continues for thirty (30) days, the Issuer shall fix such special record date and payment date. At least 10 days before such special record date, the Issuer (or upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail to each affected Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. The Issuer may make payment of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements (if applicable) of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed and, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this sentence, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. If the Issuer elects for the Trustee to send such notice to the Holders then the Issuer shall provide such notice to the Trustee along with a written notice to the Trustee instructing the Trustee to send such notice to the Holders at least five (5) days (or such shorter time as may be agreed by the Trustee in its discretion) before such notice is required to be mailed to the Holders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.01(1) shall be paid to Holders as of the record date for the Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been paid.
In the event that the Issuer is required to pay defaulted interest to Holders of Notes, the Issuer will provide written notice to the Trustee of its obligation to pay such defaulted interest no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed payment date for the defaulted interest and such notice shall set forth the amount of defaulted interest to be paid by the Issuer on such payment date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to the Holders to determine the



-31-

defaulted interest, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of defaulted interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the defaulted interest.
SECTION 2.14.    CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.
The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers, and if so used, such CUSIP and ISIN numbers shall be included in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP or ISIN numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of any such CUSIP or ISIN number used by the Issuer in connection with the issuance of the Notes and of any change in any such CUSIP or ISIN number.
SECTION 2.15.    Deposit of Moneys.
Prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds U.S. Dollars sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits such Paying Agents to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. The principal and interest on Global Notes shall be payable to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Notes represented thereby. The principal and interest on Physical Notes shall be payable, either in person, by wire transfer or by mail, at the office of the Paying Agent or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes, such payment information to be received by the Paying Agent or the Issuer at least 15 days prior to the applicable payment date. Final payment of principal at maturity with respect to a Physical Note will only be made by the Trustee upon surrender of the related Note to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 2.16.    Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.
(a)    Rule 144A Notes initially shall be represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Rule 144A Global Note”). Regulation S Notes initially shall be represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Regulation S Global Note”). The term “Global Notes” means the Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note. The Global Notes shall bear the Global Note Legend. The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of such Depository, in each case for credit to an account of an Agent Member, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear the Private Placement Legend.
Members of, or direct or indirect participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository or under the Global Notes. The Depository may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and



-32-

any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depository with respect to such Global Note, for the records of the Depository, including records in respect of the beneficial owners of any such Global Note, for any transactions between the Depository and any Agent Member or between or among the Depository, any such Agent Member and/or any Holder or beneficial owner of such Global Note, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Note. Neither the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depository.
(b)    Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfer in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes only in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.17. In addition, a Global Note shall be exchangeable for Physical Notes (i) if requested by a holder of such interests upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions from the Depository or its nominee on behalf of any beneficial owner and in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository and provisions of this Section 2.16 or (ii) if the Depository notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Note and the Issuer thereupon fail to appoint a successor depository within 120 days or (iii) if the Depository has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act or (iv) if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Note and the Depository has requested such exchange. In all cases, Physical Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depository in accordance with its customary procedures.
(c)    In connection with the transfer of a Global Note as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2.16, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures, and the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations.
(d)    Any Restricted Physical Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.17 shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.17, bear the Private Placement Legend.
(e)    The Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

A beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note.

and, in each such case, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act. If any such transfer or exchange is effected pursuant to this subparagraph (iv) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes at least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the redemption price(s) (or manner of calculation if not then known), and deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained in paragraph 5 of the Notes. Notice given to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.01 may not be revoked after the time that notice is given to Noteholders pursuant to Section 3.03. If the redemption price is not known at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price, calculated as described in the terms of the Notes, will be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date.
SECTION 3.02.    Selection by Trustee of Notes To Be Redeemed.
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Global Notes, the Notes will be selected for redemption based on the Depository’s applicable procedures); provided that no Notes with a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. For all purposes of this Indenture unless the context otherwise requires, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. In the case of Physical Notes, redemption amounts shall only be paid upon presentation and surrender of any such Notes to be redeemed to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 3.03.    Notice of Redemption.
At least 30 days, and no more than 60 days, before a Redemption Date, the Issuer shall send, or cause to be sent, a notice of redemption electronically or by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at his or her last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.06, in accordance with paragraph 6 of the Notes. The Issuer may instruct the Trustee in writing to send the notice of redemption in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer provided the Trustee receives such written instruction at least 15 days (or such shorter time as the Trustee may agree) prior to the date such notice of redemption is to be sent.
The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers thereof) and shall state:
(1)    the Redemption Date;
(2)    the redemption price and the amount of premium (or manner of calculation if not then known) and accrued interest to be paid;



-41-

(3)    if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date and upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued;
(4)    the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(5)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;
(6)    that unless the Issuer defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(7)    that paragraph 5 of the Notes is the provision of the Notes pursuant to which the redemption is occurring;
(8)    the aggregate principal amount of Notes that are being redeemed;
(9)    any conditions precedent to such redemption in reasonable detail; and
(10)    that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.
If any notice of redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, any such redemption may be rescinded in whole and not in part at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date if the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee describing the failure of the condition in reasonable detail and rescinding the redemption and instructing the Trustee to provide such Officer’s Certificate to the Holders. The Trustee shall promptly provide a copy of such Officer’s Certificate to the Holders in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.
The Issuer may provide in any notice of redemption that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by a Person or Persons other than the Issuer.
SECTION 3.04.    Effect of Notice of Redemption.
Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.03 is sent and subject to the proviso to this sentence, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the redemption price, including any premium, plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that any redemption and notice thereof pursuant to this Indenture may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent described in such notice and in which case if and/or to the extent such condition(s) precedent is/are not satisfied the Issuer shall have no obligation to redeem Notes on such Redemption Date. Upon surrender to the



-42-

Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price, including any premium, plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date; provided that if the Redemption Date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date; and provided, further, that if a Redemption Date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day.
SECTION 3.05.    Deposit of Redemption Price.
On or prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on each Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Dollars sufficient to pay the redemption price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on any and all Notes to be redeemed on that date (other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation).
On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on all Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price of and, subject to the first proviso in Section 3.04, accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to the Redemption Date. If any Note surrendered for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption Date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Note and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided in the Notes.
SECTION 3.06.    Notes Redeemed in Part.
Upon surrender of a Physical Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Physical Note surrendered.
SECTION 3.07.    Mandatory Redemption, Etc.
Except as set forth in Sections 4.08 and 4.09, the Issuer shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Issuer shall be permitted to acquire or repurchase the Notes by means other than as set forth in this Article Three, including by tender offers, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in each case in accordance with applicable securities laws; provided that such acquisitions or repurchases do not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respects to the Holders of the Notes.

(a)    The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any other Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Disposition unless:

(2)    at least 75% of the consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or cash equivalents, Additional Assets or any combination thereof (collectively, together with the items deemed to be such pursuant to subclauses (A) through (D) below, the “Cash Consideration”); and
(3)    within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Issuer (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be):
(A)    to the extent the Issuer elects (or is required by the terms of any applicable Indebtedness), to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase Secured Debt of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor or Indebtedness of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Restricted Subsidiary but is not a Guarantor (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer), provided such prepayment, repayment, redemption or purchase permanently retires, or reduces the



-48-

related loan commitment (if any) for, such Indebtedness in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, redeemed or purchased;
(B)    to the extent the Issuer elects, to acquire Additional Assets or to make any other Capital Expenditures;
(C)    to make an offer to the Holders of the Notes (and to holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuer designated by the Issuer) to purchase Notes (and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuer ) pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained herein, as set forth below, and in the instruments governing such Pari Passu Indebtedness; and
(D)    to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A), (B) and (C), for any purpose permitted by the terms of this Indenture.
Pending application of Net Available Cash pursuant to this Section 4.09, such Net Available Cash may be applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit Indebtedness or in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.
(b)    For the purposes of this Section 4.09, the following are deemed to be Cash Consideration:
(1)    any liabilities (as reflected on the Issuer’s most recent consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the Issuer’s consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in good faith by the Issuer) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets;
(2)    any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or cash equivalents within 180 days after such Asset Disposition, to the extent of the cash and cash equivalents received in that conversion; and
(3)    any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause that has at that time not been converted into cash or a cash equivalent, not to exceed the greater of $75.0 million and 3.5% of Consolidated Total Assets (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).



-49-

(c)    The amount of Net Available Cash not applied or invested as provided above will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $75.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase Notes (an “Offer”) within ten Business Days thereof, and shall purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an Offer by the Issuer for the Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness that contemporaneously requires the purchase, prepayment or redemption of such Indebtedness with the proceeds of sales of assets at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount without premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but not including, such date of redemption (or, in respect of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuer, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness) in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture and the terms of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Offer and the contemporaneous offer with respect to any other Pari Passu Indebtedness contemplated above, the Issuer may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate purchase price of the securities tendered exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer shall allocate the Excess Proceeds between such securities on a pro rata basis and will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis but in denominations of $2,000 principal amount or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The remainder of the Excess Proceeds allocable to the other Pari Passu Indebtedness will be repurchased as provided pursuant to the terms of such Indebtedness. Upon completion of such an Offer to purchase, Excess Proceeds will be deemed to be reset to zero.
(d)    The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.09. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.09, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.
SECTION 4.10.    Limitation on Restricted Payments.
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment if at the time of such Restricted Payment:
(a)    a Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof;
(b)    after giving effect to such Restricted Payment (including, without limitation, the incurrence of any Indebtedness to finance such Restricted Payment), the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be less than 2:00 to 1:00; or
(c)    the amount of such Restricted Payment, when added to the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made after the Issue Date (other than Restricted Payments



-50-

made pursuant to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (j) of the next paragraph), exceeds the sum (the “Restricted Payments Basket”) of (without duplication):
(1)    50% of Consolidated Net Income determined in accordance with GAAP for the period (taken as one accounting period) commencing on the first day of the fiscal quarter during which the Issue Date occurs to and including the last day of the fiscal quarter ended immediately prior to the date of such calculation for which consolidated financial statements are available (or, if such Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such aggregate deficit), plus
(2)    100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Issuer, of property and marketable securities, in each case received by the Issuer from (a) the issuance and sale of Qualified Equity Interests of the Issuer after the Issue Date or (b) the issuance or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Equity Interests of the Issuer or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Issuer, in each case that have been converted into or exchanged for Qualified Equity Interests of the Issuer, or (c) any capital contribution made to the Issuer, in each case other than (A) any such proceeds which are used to effect a Make-Whole Redemption (as defined in paragraph 5 of the Notes) of Notes, (B) any such proceeds or assets received from a Subsidiary of the Issuer or (C) contributions to the extent such amounts have been applied to Restricted Payments made in accordance with clause (c) of the next succeeding paragraph, plus
(3)    the aggregate amount by which Indebtedness (other than any Subordinated Indebtedness) incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary subsequent to the Issue Date is reduced on the Issuer’s balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than by a Subsidiary of the Issuer) into Qualified Equity Interests of the Issuer (less the amount of any cash, or the fair value of assets, distributed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange), plus
(4)    to the extent not already included in Consolidated Net Income, 100% of the aggregate amount received in cash and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Issuer, of property and marketable securities received by means of the sale (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) of the Capital Stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than in each case to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clause (h) of the next succeeding paragraph) or a dividend from an Unrestricted Subsidiary, plus

of the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary, as determined by the Issuer in good faith at the time of the redesignation of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of such merger, consolidation or transfer of assets (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clause (h) of the next succeeding paragraph).
The foregoing provisions will not prohibit:

(d)    The Issuer will be deemed to have furnished the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.13 if the Issuer has filed reports containing such information with the SEC.

(e)    Delivery of such reports and information to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of them shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates delivered pursuant to this Indenture, including without limitation Officer’s Certificates delivered pursuant to Section 4.06(a)).

then that newly acquired or created Subsidiary or Additional Obligor, as the case may be (i) shall become a Guarantor and (ii) execute a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit H within 30 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created or became an Additional Obligor.
In addition, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such supplemental indenture complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, that all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied, and such Opinion of Counsel shall additionally state that such supplemental indenture is enforceable against the new Guarantor, subject to customary qualifications.

(b)    In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under the Indenture with respect to future events. The period of time between the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”
(c)    Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Available Cash shall be reset at zero. In the event of any such reinstatement on a Reversion Date, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer or any of its Restricted



-61-

Subsidiaries prior to such Reversion Date (and no action taken or omitted to be taken following a Reversion Date in connection with honoring, complying with or otherwise performing or consummating any contractual commitments or obligations entered into during a Suspension Period) will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the Suspended Covenants; provided that with respect to Restricted Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though Section 4.10 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period.
(d)    The Issuer will be required to provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee indicating the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date. The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on the Issuer’s and its Subsidiaries future compliance with the requirements of the Indenture or (iii) notify the holders of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date.

decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days or (B) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary (i) commences a voluntary case under any Bankruptcy Law or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any Bankruptcy Law, (ii) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries or for all or substantially all the property and assets of the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries, or (iii) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; and
(8)    any Note Guarantee of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect in all material respects (other than in accordance with the terms of such Note Guarantee and this Indenture) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Note Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Note Guarantee).
SECTION 6.02.    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission.
If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may declare all Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee, in the case of notice by Holders, specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” and the same shall become immediately due and payable; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) occurs with respect the Issuer, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if:
(1)    all Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived;
(2)    to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;
(3)     the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements, indemnities and advances; and
(4)    in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(7), the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.



-65-

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
SECTION 6.03.    Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture and may take any necessary action requested in writing by the Holders of a majority of the principal amount outstanding of the Notes to settle, compromise, adjust or otherwise conclude any proceedings to which it is a party.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Noteholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. Any costs associated with actions taken by the Trustee under this Section 6.03 shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Issuer and the Guarantors.
SECTION 6.04.    Waiver of Existing Defaults and Events of Default.
(a)    Subject to Sections 2.10, 6.02, 6.08 and 8.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have the right to waive any existing Defaults or Events of Default under this Indenture except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on any Note as specified in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 6.01. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents. In case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes, respectively. This subsection (a) of this Section 6.04 shall be in lieu of TIA § 316(a)(1)(B), and TIA § 316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA.
(b)    Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
SECTION 6.05.    Control by Majority.
Subject to Sections 2.10 and 7.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Indenture. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the



-66-

rights of another Holder not taking part in such direction, and the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed may involve it in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification and security satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense that might be caused by taking such action or following such direction. This Section 6.05 shall be in lieu of TIA § 316(a)(1)(A), and TIA § 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA.
SECTION 6.06.    Limitation on Suits.
Subject to Section 6.08, a Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:
(1)    the Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(2)    the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3)    such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;
(4)    the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity against any cost, liability or expense that might be caused by complying with such request; and
(5)    during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.
A Noteholder may not use any provision of this Indenture to disturb or prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Noteholder.
SECTION 6.07.    No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders.    
No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Issuer or of any other Subsidiary of the Issuer, or any affiliate of the foregoing, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. This waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.



-67-

SECTION 6.08.    Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after such respective due dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.
SECTION 6.09.    Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any Guarantor (or any other obligor on the Notes) for the whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate set forth in the Notes, and such further amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
SECTION 6.10.    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceedings.
SECTION 6.11.    Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six, and after an Event of Default any money or other property distributable in respect of the Issuer’s or Guarantors’



-68-

obligations under this Indenture, such money or property shall be paid out or distributed in the following order:
FIRST: to the Trustee, its agents and any predecessor Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;
SECOND: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes; and
THIRD: to the Issuer or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount from any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 6.11.
SECTION 6.12.    Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Noteholder pursuant to Section 6.08 or a suit by Noteholders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

ARTICLE SEVEN

TRUSTEE
SECTION 7.01.    Duties of Trustee.
(a)    If a Default or Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person under the circumstances would exercise or use under the same circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.
Except for an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(1) or 6.01(2) (upon the occurrence of which the Trustee if then acting as Paying Agent will be deemed to have knowledge thereof), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of any



-69-

event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default by the Issuer or by the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes by written notice of such event sent to the Trustee in accordance with Section 10.02, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.
(b)    Except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge:
(1)    The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.
(2)    In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may require and, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate.
(c)    The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(1)    This paragraph does not limit the effect of subsection (b) of this Section 7.01.
(2)    The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(3)    The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it from a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.
(4)    No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights, powers or duties. The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers or duties hereunder.



-70-

(d)    Whether or not therein expressly so provided, subsections (a), (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 7.01 shall govern every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee.
(e)    The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction (including, but in no way limited to, the fees and disbursements of agents and attorneys). The Trustee’s fees, expenses and indemnities (in each of its capacities under this Indenture) (including, but in no way limited to, the fees and disbursements of agents and attorneys) are included in the amounts guaranteed by the Note Guarantees.
(f)    The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer or any Guarantor. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by the law.
SECTION 7.02.    Rights of Trustee.
Subject to Section 7.01:
(1)    The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.
(2)    Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require and shall be entitled to receive an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 10.05. The Trustee shall be protected and shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.
(3)    The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder directly or indirectly or by or through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed by it with due care.
(4)    The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute negligence or willful misconduct.



-71-

(5)    The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, at the expense of the Issuer, and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.
(6)    The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be compensated, reimbursed and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (including but not limited to as Registrar, Paying Agent and Depository Custodian), and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder.
(7)    The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its own negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.
(8)    The Trustee may from time to time request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any persons authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.
(9)    In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
(10)    The Trustee will not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness, or other paper or document, or inquire as to the performance by the Issuer or the Guarantors of any of their covenants in this Indenture, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuers or the Guarantors, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuers and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.
SECTION 7.03.    Individual Rights of Trustee.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for or otherwise deal with either the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any Affiliates thereof, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as defined in



-72-

the Trust Indenture Act, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall also be subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.
SECTION 7.04.    Trustee’s Disclaimer.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes or any Note Guarantee, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s use of the proceeds from the sale of Notes, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent (other than itself as Paying Agent) or any money paid to the Issuer or any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Notes, the Note Guarantees or this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any statement in the Offering Memorandum or any other document utilized by the Issuer in connection with the sale of the Notes, and shall not be responsible for any rating on the Notes or any action or omission of any Rating Agency.
SECTION 7.05.    Notice of Defaults.
If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing (which shall not be cured or waived) and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee (pursuant to Section 7.01(a) hereof), the Trustee shall give to each Noteholder a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs in the manner and to the extent provided in the TIA and otherwise as provided in this Indenture. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to a redemption or repurchase of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture), the Trustee may withhold the notice, and shall be fully protected in so withholding, if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.
SECTION 7.06.    Reports by Trustee to Holders.
If required by TIA § 313(a), within 60 days after each May 15 following the date of initial issuance of the Notes under this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2), to the extent applicable.
Reports pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall be transmitted by mail (or, in the case of a Global Note, sent in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depository):
(1)    to all Holders of Notes, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Registrar’s books; and
(2)    to such Holders of Notes as have, within the two years preceding such transmission, filed their names and addresses with the Trustee for that purpose.



-73-

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom.
SECTION 7.07.    Compensation and Indemnity.
The Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation as agreed upon in writing for its services hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Issuer and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it in connection with the Trustee’s duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and external counsel.
The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Trustee and its agents, employees, stockholders, directors and officers and any predecessor Trustee for, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including without limitation taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the performance of its duties under this Indenture or the exercise of its rights and powers under the Notes and the Guarantees, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.07), the Notes and the Guarantees or otherwise arising under this Indenture and including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer, any Guarantor or otherwise) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its rights, powers or duties hereunder (including, without limitation, settlement costs). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing promptly of any third party claim of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity (each, a “Third Party Claim”); provided that the failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not relieve the Issuer and Guarantors of their obligations hereunder except to the extent the Issuer and the Guarantors are actually prejudiced thereby. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement or provide any indemnification for any other Losses associated therewith to the extent such settlement is made in connection with any Third Party Claim without its consent, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion. The Trustee shall have the right to its own counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel in connection with any Third Party Claim to the extent the Trustee reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists or is required in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer and the Guarantors need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability to have been incurred by the Trustee through its own negligence or willful misconduct.
To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the



-74-

Trustee except for such money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be joint and several liabilities of each Issuer and each of the Guarantors and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or other termination of this Indenture, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law.
For purposes of this Section 7.07, the term “Trustee” shall include any trustee appointed pursuant to this Article Seven, provided, however, that the negligence or willful misconduct of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall apply to Trustee in its capacity as Paying Agent, Registrar and any other Agent under this Indenture.
SECTION 7.08.    Replacement of Trustee.
The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by notifying the Issuer and the removed Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer may remove the Trustee at its election if:
(1)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;
(2)    the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(3)    a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(4)    the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.



-75-

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, Noteholders holding at least 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Immediately following such delivery, the retiring Trustee shall, subject to its rights under Section 7.07, transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Noteholder. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
SECTION 7.09.    Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger, etc.
If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation, subject to Section 7.10, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.
SECTION 7.10.    Eligibility; Disqualification.
This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5) in every respect. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in the most recent applicable published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.
SECTION 7.11.    Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer.
The Trustee is subject to and shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.
SECTION 7.12.    Paying Agents.
The Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to it and the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.12:
(A)    that it will hold all sums held by it as agent for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such sums have been paid to it by the



-76-

Issuer or by any obligor on the Notes) in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes or the Trustee;
(B)    that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon written request from the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it together with a full accounting thereof; and
(C)    that it will give the Trustee written notice within three Business Days of any failure of the Issuer (or by any obligor on the Notes) in the payment of any installment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable.

SECTION 9.09.    Guarantee.
The Guarantors, by execution of this Indenture, jointly and severally, guarantee to each Holder and to the Trustee (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any,

The validity and enforceability of any Note Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Note.
Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 9.09 shall be in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.



-86-

-87-

but for the existence of such Default or Event of Default, such Guarantor would otherwise be entitled to be released from its Guarantee following the sale of such Equity Interests) and (ii) until the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transactions have been complied with and that such release and discharge is authorized and permitted under this Indenture.

SECTION 9.12.    Waiver of Subrogation.
Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Notes against the Issuer, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or Note on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Issuer no later than three Business Days prior to such payment; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.13, and subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice referred to in this Section 9.13 at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such payment may become payable for any purpose under this Indenture (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it less than three Business Days prior to such date.
SECTION 9.14.    Limitation on Guarantor’s Liability.
Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof, each Holder and the Trustee, hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of a Guarantor does not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar U.S. Federal or state or other applicable law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Holder and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of a Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, result in the obligations of such Guarantor not constituting such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF RESTRICTED NOTE]
THE BRINK’S COMPANY
4.625% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2027
1.    Interest. THE BRINK’S COMPANY, a Virginia corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 4.625% per annum. Interest hereon will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including October 20, 2017 to but excluding the date on which interest is paid. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, commencing April 15, 2018. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of an incomplete month, the actual days elapsed. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue interest (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the Notes.
2.    Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest hereon (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on April 1 or October 1 preceding the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders of Physical Notes must surrender such Physical Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. Prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds U.S. Dollars sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits such Paying Agents to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. The principal and interest on Global Notes shall be payable to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Notes represented thereby. The principal and interest on Physical Notes shall be payable, either in person, by wire transfer or by mail, at the office of the Paying Agent or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes, such payment information to be received by the Paying Agent or the Issuer at least 15 days prior to the applicable payment date. Final payment of principal at maturity with respect to a Physical Note will only be made by the Trustee upon surrender of the related Note to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.
3.    Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as a Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
4.    Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of October 20, 2017 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. This is one of an issue of Notes of the Issuer issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb), as amended from time to time. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of them. Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

A-1-4



5.    Optional Redemption.
At any time prior to October 15, 2020, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to (i) 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture on the Issue Date and (ii) all or a portion of any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to Holders of Notes, at a redemption price equal to 104.625% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date, with an amount of cash no greater than the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of all Equity Offerings by the Issuer since the Issue Date; provided that:
(1)    at least 65% (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and
(2)    the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.
In addition, prior to October 15, 2022, the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes to be redeemed on or after a record date for the payment of interest to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date), plus the applicable Make-Whole Premium (a “Make-Whole Redemption”). The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the Make-Whole Premium by delivering to the Trustee promptly after the calculation of such Make-Whole Premium, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, an Officer’s Certificate showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for verifying or otherwise for such calculation or calculation of any redemption price or the Make-Whole Premium.
On or after October 15, 2022, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to Holders of Notes, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes to be redeemed on or after a record date for the payment of interest to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on October 15 of the years indicated below:

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 5, the payment of accrued but unpaid interest in connection with the redemption of Notes is subject to the rights of a Holder of Notes on a record date for the payment of interest whose Notes are to be redeemed on or after such

A-1-5



record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date to receive interest on such Interest Payment Date.
6.    Notice of Redemption. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address (or to the extent permitted or required by applicable Depository procedures or regulations with respect to Global Notes, sent electronically in .pdf format). The Issuer may instruct the Trustee in writing to send the notice of redemption in the name or and at the expense of the Issuer provided the Trustee receives such written instruction at least 15 days (or such shorter time as the Trustee may agree) prior to the date such notice of redemption is to be sent. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Any redemption and notice thereof may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent described in the notice relating to such redemption.
7.    Offers To Purchase. The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control or an Asset Disposition and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase outstanding Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.
8.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer shall not be required to (i) transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption or (ii) transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a mailing of notice of redemption. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portion of a Note selected for redemption, or register the transfer of or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a mailing of notice of redemption.
9.    Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of this Note for all purposes.
10.    Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee will pay the money back to the Issuer at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer and the Guarantors for payment as general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another Person.
11.    Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc. The Issuer and the Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding Notes, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or the Notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, omissions, defects or inconsistencies, maintaining the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, providing for the assumption by a successor to the Issuer of its obligations to the Holders and making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Notes may be made by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of the particular Notes to be affected.

A-1-6



12.    Restrictive Covenants. Subject to Section 4.15 of the Indenture, the Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens, make Restricted Payments, enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions or consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and requires the Issuer to provide reports to Holders of the Notes. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
13.    Successor Corporation. When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article Five of the Indenture, the predecessor corporation will, except as provided in Article Five, be released from those obligations.
14.    Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, either the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration”, may declare the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes to be due and payable, and upon such declaration of acceleration, such principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, shall be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes then outstanding shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if:
(1)    all Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived;
(2)    to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;
(3)    the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and
(4)    in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(7), the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may

A-1-7



withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests.
15.    Trustee Dealings with the Issuer. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
16.    No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Issuer or of any other Subsidiary of the Issuer, or any affiliate of the foregoing, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. This waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
17.    Discharge. The Issuer’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be.
18.    Guarantees. From and after the Issue Date, the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of certain Note Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.
19.    Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.
20.    Governing Law. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
21.    Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TENANT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

[FORM OF REVERSE OF UNRESTRICTED NOTE]
THE BRINK’S COMPANY
4.625% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2027
1.    Interest. THE BRINK’S COMPANY, a Virginia corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 4.625% per annum. Interest hereon will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including October 20, 2017 to but excluding the date on which interest is paid. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, commencing April 15, 2018. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of an incomplete month, the actual days elapsed. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue interest (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the Notes.
2.    Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest hereon (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on April 1 or October 1 preceding the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders of Physical Notes must surrender such Physical Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. Prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds U.S. Dollars sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits such Paying Agents to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. The principal and interest on Global Notes shall be payable to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Notes represented thereby. The principal and interest on Physical Notes shall be payable, either in person, by wire transfer or by mail, at the office of the Paying Agent or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes, such payment information to be received by the Paying Agent or the Issuer at least 15 days prior to the applicable payment date. Final payment of principal at maturity with respect to a Physical Note will only be made by the Trustee upon surrender of the related Note to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.
3.    Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as a Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
4.    Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of October 20, 2017 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. This is one of an issue of Notes of the Issuer issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb), as amended from time to time. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of them. Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

A-2-4



5.    Optional Redemption.
At any time prior to October 15, 2020, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to (i) 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture on the Issue Date and (ii) all or a portion of any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to Holders of Notes, at a redemption price equal to 104.625% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date, with an amount of cash no greater than the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of all Equity Offerings by the Issuer since the Issue Date; provided that:
(1)    at least 65% (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and
(2)    the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.
In addition, prior to October 15, 2022, the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes to be redeemed on or after a record date for the payment of interest to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date), plus the applicable Make-Whole Premium (a “Make-Whole Redemption”). The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the Make-Whole Premium by delivering to the Trustee promptly after the calculation of such Make-Whole Premium, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, an Officer’s Certificate showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for verifying or otherwise for such calculation or calculation of the redemption price.
On or after October 15, 2022, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to Holders of Notes, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes to be redeemed on or after a record date for the payment of interest to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on October 15 of the years indicated below:

A-2-5



record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date to receive interest on such Interest Payment Date.
6.    Notice of Redemption. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address (or to the extent permitted or required by applicable Depository procedures or regulations with respect to Global Notes, sent electronically in .pdf format). The Issuer may instruct the Trustee in writing to send the notice of redemption in the name or and at the expense of the Issuer provided the Trustee receives such written instruction at least 15 days (or such shorter time as the Trustee may agree) prior to the date such notice of redemption is to be sent. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Any redemption and notice thereof may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent described in the notice relating to such redemption.
7.    Offers To Purchase. The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control or an Asset Disposition and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase outstanding Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.
8.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer shall not be required to (i) transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption or (ii) transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a mailing of notice of redemption. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portion of a Note selected for redemption, or register the transfer of or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a mailing of notice of redemption.
9.    Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of this Note for all purposes.
10.    Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee will pay the money back to the Issuer at its written request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer and the Guarantors for payment as general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another Person.
11.    Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc. The Issuer and the Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding Notes, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or the Notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, omissions, defects or inconsistencies, maintaining the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, providing for the assumption by a successor to the Issuer of its obligations to the Holders and making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect. Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Notes may be made by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of the particular Notes to be affected.

A-2-6



12.    Restrictive Covenants. Subject to Section 4.15 of the Indenture, the Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens, make Restricted Payments, enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions or consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and requires the Issuer to provide reports to Holders of the Notes. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
13.    Successor Corporation. When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article Five of the Indenture, the predecessor corporation will, except as provided in Article Five, be released from those obligations.
14.    Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, either the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration”, may declare the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes to be due and payable, and upon such declaration of acceleration, such principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, shall be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes then outstanding shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if:
(1)    all Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived;
(2)    to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;
(3)    the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and
(4)    in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(7), the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may

A-2-7



withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests.
15.    Trustee Dealings with the Issuer. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
16.    No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Issuer or of any other Subsidiary of the Issuer, or any affiliate of the foregoing, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. This waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
17.    Discharge. The Issuer’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be.
18.    Guarantees. From and after the Issue Date, the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of certain Note Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.
19.    Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.
20.    Governing Law. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
21.    Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TENANT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

If the representation set forth in clause (iii) above proves to be false as of the date on which it is made for any Revolving Credit Lender, then such Revolving Credit Lender will, at no expense to the Credit Parties, promptly (A) give written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, and (B) either obtain a replacement commitment from an Assignee pursuant to Section 13.7(b) that is authorized to lend in all such jurisdictions and currencies made available in its Class or arrange for another Revolving Credit Lender or other financial institution to make or continue Revolving Credit Loans on behalf of such Revolving Credit Lender, in each case reasonably acceptable to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The remedy set forth in Section 4.7(f) shall be the Credit Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy for any Revolving Credit Lender’s breach of the representation set forth in clause (ii) or (iii) above. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.1(b) shall be deemed to be in derogation of the rights and obligations of any Revolving Credit Lender or Credit Party under Section 4.7(b)(ii).

The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender is several and no Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for any other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to make Revolving Credit Loans as required.

Each Revolving Credit Lender at its option may satisfy its obligation to make any Revolving Credit Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Revolving Credit Lender to make such Revolving Credit Loan (in which case all payments of principal and interest with respect to such Revolving Credit Loan shall be owed to such branch or Affiliate); provided that any exercise of such option shall not reduce the obligation of the applicable Revolving Borrower to repay such Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(iii)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Revolving Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Specified Maturity Date.

Section 2.10    [Reserved].
Section 2.11    Addition or Removal of Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers; Optional Currencies.
(a)    Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers.
(i)    Subject to Section 2.11(b), the Parent Borrower may at any time, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required for any Foreign Subsidiary identified on Schedule 2.11(a) on the Closing Date), add as a Revolving Borrower to this Agreement any Foreign Subsidiary upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 5.3, in which case such Foreign Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a party hereto as a Revolving A Borrower or Revolving B Borrower, as the case may be, as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement, provided that the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders in the Class to which such Foreign Subsidiary shall be a Revolving Borrower at least ten Business Days prior to granting such consent, and shall withhold such consent if any Revolving A Lender and/or Revolving B Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days that it is not permitted by Applicable Law or any other organizational policy to make Loans to the relevant Foreign Subsidiary. If (i) no Revolving Credit Lender shall have notified the Administrative Agent that it is not permitted by Applicable Law or any other organizational policy to make Revolving Credit Loans to the relevant Foreign Subsidiary and (ii) the Administrative Agent has not withheld its consent to the addition of such Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be added, provided that the Administrative Agent may establish and apply such other rules and procedures, and amend this Agreement accordingly, as it deems reasonably necessary for the addition of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to, and in a manner consistent with, this Agreement.
(ii)    With respect to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, so long as the principal of and interest on any Loans made to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and all other Obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been fully performed, the Parent Borrower may, by not less than five Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders thereof), terminate such Subsidiary’s status as a “Foreign Subsidiary Borrower” and such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall no longer be a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(b)    Addition of Optional Currencies. The Parent Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that the definition of “Revolving A Optional Currency” and/or “Revolving B Optional Currency” be amended to add any other currency that is freely transferable and convertible into Dollars in the London interbank market and for which a LIBOR Base Rate is administered by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (or any applicable successor quoting service) as provided in the definition of “LIBOR


 
60
 

93782947_8



Base Rate.” For the avoidance of doubt, the addition of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) shall not be deemed to amend the definition of “Revolving A Optional Currency” or “Revolving B Optional Currency”, as the case may be, unless approved by all of the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.11(b). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders in the relevant Class to which such proposed currency is to be made available for the borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, and shall withhold such consent if any Revolving Credit Lender in such Class notifies the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days of such notice that it is not permitted by Applicable Law or any other organizational policy to make Loans in such currency. If each of the affected Revolving Credit Lenders in the relevant Class consents to the addition of such proposed currency, the definition of “Revolving A Optional Currency” and/or “Revolving B Optional Currency”, as the case may be, and Schedule 1.1(b) shall automatically be deemed amended to reflect the addition of such currency and the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Required Lenders (or all of the applicable Lenders if required by Section 13.9), shall further amend the provisions of this Agreement (including Section 4.1(d)) as shall be necessary or appropriate to provide for the borrowing, funding, disbursement, computation of interest and repayment of Obligations denominated in such new currency.
Section 2.12    Parent Borrower as Agent for Subsidiary Borrowers.
(a)    Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent Borrower as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for such Subsidiary Borrower which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by the Parent Borrower that it has resigned such position. Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Parent Borrower to (i) provide all notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) take such action as the Parent Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

Each Revolving B Letter of Credit may be denominated in Dollars, Euros, Sterling or in any Revolving B Optional Currency.

No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if (i) such issuance violates any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority that by its terms enjoins or restrains the issuance of such Letter of Credit or any Applicable Law applicable to such Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over it shall prohibit, or request that it refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, (ii) such issuance imposes upon it or any Revolving Credit Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital or liquidity requirement (for which such Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender is not otherwise compensated), or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in effect as of the Closing Date, (iii) any Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable Class is at that time a Defaulting Lender and, after giving effect to any reallocation of the Participation Interest of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(iv), such Issuing Lender has any actual or potential Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all


 
62
 

93782947_8



other L/C Obligations as to which the Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, unless the applicable Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Parent Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such Fronting Exposure or (iv) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit is a Sanctioned Person. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include any amendment, extension, renewal or increase in the stated amount of any existing Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires.
(d)    Allocation of Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit that is denominated in Dollars may, as requested by the Parent Borrower, be converted from one Type to another Type, and such determination, shall be binding on the Revolving Credit Lenders. Such determination may be changed from time to time so long as at the time of any such determination, the conditions specified in Section 5.2 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders as of the date of such determination. The Parent Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such determination at the time of its request for the issuance of any Letter of Credit and of any change in such determination at the time thereof.
Section 3.2    Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Parent Borrower may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit (or amend, extend, renew or increase the stated amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit) by delivering to such Issuing Lender at any address mutually acceptable to the Parent Borrower and such Issuing Lender an L/C Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. The L/C Application will contain a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in Section 5.2 (and Section 5.3 if applicable) have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders as of the date of the L/C Application. Upon receipt of any L/C Application, such Issuing Lender shall process such L/C Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1, this Section 3.2 and Article V hereof, promptly issue the Letter of Credit (or amend, extend, renew or increase the stated amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit) requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit (or amend, extend, renew or increase the stated amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit) earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the L/C Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Lender and the Parent Borrower. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter, each Issuing Lender (or the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent agrees to undertake such action) shall report to each Revolving Credit Lender and the Parent Borrower all Letters of Credit issued by it during the previous calendar quarter and the average daily undrawn and unexpired amounts for all Letters of Credit for each day in such calendar quarter. Each Issuing Lender (or the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent agrees to undertake such action) shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of each outstanding Letter of Credit denominated in Euros, Sterling or any Optional Currency as of the end of each calendar month and shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower of such calculation, and such calculation shall be the basis of any determination of the amount of outstanding Revolving A L/C Obligations and Revolving B L/C Obligations for purposes hereof until the next such calculation.
Section 3.3    Fees and Other Charges.
(a)    The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving A Lender, a letter of credit fee (the “Revolving A L/C Fee”) in Dollars with respect to each


 
63
 

93782947_8



Revolving A Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender in an amount equal to the product of the Dollar Equivalent of the average daily undrawn amount of such issued Revolving A Letters of Credit and the Applicable Percentage for LIBOR Rate Loans then in effect.
(b)    The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving B Lender, a letter of credit fee (the “Revolving B L/C Fee”) in Dollars with respect to each Revolving B Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender in an amount equal to the product of the Dollar Equivalent of the average daily undrawn amount of such issued Revolving B Letters of Credit and the Applicable Percentage for LIBOR Rate Loans then in effect.
The L/C Fees shall be calculated quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and payable on the third Business Day following such date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and thereafter on demand.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Revolving A Lenders the Revolving A L/C Fee received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving A Ratable Share. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Revolving B Lenders the Revolving B L/C Fee received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving B Ratable Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any L/C Fee otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral satisfactory to the each Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(ii) shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, to the other Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving A Ratable Share or Revolving B Ratable Share, as the case may be, allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account.
(d)    In addition to the L/C Fees, the Parent Borrower agrees to pay to any Issuing Lender that has issued a Letter of Credit at the request of the Parent Borrower, for such Issuing Lender’s own account, (i) a fronting fee in an amount per annum (A) for Wells Fargo, as specified in its Fee Letter and (B) for any other Issuing Lender, as agreed upon between the Parent Borrower and such Issuing Lender, multiplied by the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate stated amount of such Letter of Credit for the stated duration thereof, and (ii) customary charges of such Issuing Lender with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit.
Section 3.4    L/C Participations.
(a)    Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Revolving A Lender, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Revolving A Letters of Credit hereunder, each Revolving A Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such Revolving A Lender’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to its Revolving A Ratable Share of such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Revolving A Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each Revolving A Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Revolving A Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Parent Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Revolving A Lender shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such Revolving A Lender’s Ratable Share of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.


 
64
 

93782947_8



(b)    Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Revolving B Lender, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Revolving B Letters of Credit hereunder, each Revolving B Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such Revolving B Lender’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to its Revolving B Ratable Share of such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Revolving B Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each Revolving B Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Revolving B Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Parent Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Revolving B Lender shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such Revolving B Lender’s Ratable Share of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.
(c)    Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any Revolving Credit Lender to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.4(b) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving A Lender, in the case of Revolving A Letters of Credit, or each Revolving B Lender, in the case of Revolving B Letters of Credit, of the amount and due date of such required payment and such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent (which, in turn shall pay such Issuing Lender) the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such Lender shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of any Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4(c) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to any Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section 3.4(c), if the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day. No such making of any payment by a Revolving Credit Lender under Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.4(b) shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Revolving Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(d)    Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender its Revolving A Ratable Share or Revolving B Ratable Share, as applicable, of such payment in accordance with this Section 3.4, such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Parent Borrower or otherwise, or any payment of interest on account thereof), such Issuing Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Revolving A Ratable Share or Revolving B Ratable Share, as applicable; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.
Section 3.5    Reimbursement Obligation of the Revolving Borrowers. Each Revolving Borrower agrees to reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender on each date such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent notifies such Revolving Borrower of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit requested by the Parent Borrower for the account of such Revolving Borrower for the amount of (a) such


 
65
 

93782947_8



draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the appropriate Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in Dollars (or the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated, if the Parent Borrower and such Issuing Lender otherwise agree) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such payment and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by such Borrower under this Article III from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the interest rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans under Section 4.1(a)(i) plus 2%. If such Borrower fails to timely reimburse such Issuing Lender on the date such Revolving Borrower receives the notice referred to in this Section 3.5, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such failure, and such Revolving Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.2(b)) to the Administrative Agent requesting the Revolving Credit Lenders to make an Alternate Base Rate Loan under the Revolving A Credit Facility or the Revolving B Credit Facility, as applicable, on such date in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such draft paid, together with any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender and to be reimbursed pursuant to this Section 3.5 and, regardless of whether or not the conditions precedent specified in Article V have been satisfied, the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders shall make Alternate Base Rate Loans in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Any conversion by any Issuing Lender of any payment to be made by such Revolving Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in Euros, Sterling or any Optional Currency into Dollars in accordance with this Section 3.5 (using the conversion mechanism set forth in the definition of Dollar Equivalent) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders in the absence of manifest error; provided that upon the request of any Revolving Credit Lender, the Issuing Lender shall provide to such Revolving Credit Lender a certificate including reasonably detailed information as to the calculation of such conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3.5 shall obligate the Revolving Credit Lenders to make such Alternate Base Rate Loans if the making of such Alternate Base Rate Loans would violate the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 3.6    Obligations Absolute.
(a)    Each Revolving Borrower’s obligations under this Article III (including without limitation the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which such Revolving Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender or any beneficiary or transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting). Each Revolving Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that no Issuing Lender shall be responsible for, and such Revolving Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent, forged or insufficient in any respect, or any dispute between or among such Revolving Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of such Revolving Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message, advice, or document, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Revolving Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on such Revolving Borrower


 
66
 

93782947_8



and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to such Revolving Borrower. The responsibility of each Issuing Lender to such Revolving Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
(b)    Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Alternate Base Rate Loans or to fund its Participation Interest to reimburse any Issuing Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Article III, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against such Issuing Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Alternate Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 3.5 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than delivery by the applicable Revolving Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing).
Section 3.7    Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the relevant Subsidiary Borrower (if applicable) of the date and the Dollar Equivalent of the amount thereof.
Section 3.8    Reporting of Letter of Credit Information and L/C Commitment. At any time that there is an Issuing Lender that is not also the financial institution acting as Administrative Agent, then (a) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (b) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended, terminated or otherwise expires, (c) on each date that a Letter of Credit is issued or the expiry date of a Letter of Credit is extended, and (d) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender (or, in the case of clauses (b), (c) or (d) of this Section, the applicable Issuing Lender) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent information (including, without limitation, any reimbursement, cash collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender that is outstanding hereunder. In addition, each Issuing Lender shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of its L/C Commitment, or any change thereto, promptly upon it becoming an Issuing Lender or making any change to its L/C Commitment. No failure on the part of any Issuing Lender to provide such information pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall limit the obligations of any Borrower or any Revolving Credit Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations hereunder.
Section 3.9    Resignation of Issuing Lenders.
(a)    Any Lender may at any time resign from its role as an Issuing Lender hereunder upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent).
(b)    Any resigning Issuing Lender shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Lender and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including, without limitation, the right to require the Revolving Credit Lenders to take such actions as are required under Section 3.4). Without limiting the foregoing, upon the resignation of a Lender as an Issuing Lender hereunder, the Parent Borrower may, or at the request of such resigned Issuing Lender the Parent Borrower shall (at the sole cost and expense of such resigning Issuing Lender, except in the


 
67
 

93782947_8



case of any resignation in connection with the assignment by such Issuing Lender of all of its Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans hereunder pursuant to Section 13.7), use commercially reasonable efforts to, arrange for one or more of the other Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of Credit hereunder in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by such resigned Issuing Lender and outstanding at the time of such resignation, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigned Issuing Lender to effectively cause another Issuing Lender to assume the obligations of the resigned Issuing Lender with respect to any such Letters of Credit.
Section 3.10    Effect of L/C Application. To the extent that any provision of any L/C Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.

(i)    Interest on each Alternate Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan and Swingline Loan (other than MXN Swingline Loans and French Swingline Loans) shall be payable by the relevant Borrower in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date, interest on each MXN Swingline Loans shall be payable as specified in the applicable MXN Swingline Facility Notice, interest on each French Swingline Loan shall be payable as specified in the applicable French Swingline Facility Notice and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan and Canadian CDOR Loan shall be payable by the relevant Borrower in arrears on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period exceeds three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 4.1(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an Alternate Base Rate Loan prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan or any Canadian CDOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(ii)    Interest on all Loans and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed; provided that interest on Loans bearing interest at a rate based upon the Prime Rate and Loans denominated in Sterling, Hong Kong Dollars or Canadian Dollars shall be computed on the basis of a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable.
(e)    Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Parent Borrower’s option (or if an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, at the Administrative Agent’s option), (i) promptly refund to the Parent Borrower any interest received by Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations. It is the intent hereof that the Parent Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Parent Borrower under Applicable Law.
(f)    Interest Act (Canada). For purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), where interest is calculated pursuant to this Agreement at a rate based upon a year consisting of a number of days less than the actual number of days in such year (the “First Rate”), the rate or percentage of interest on a yearly basis is equivalent to such First Rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year divided by the number of days which such year is, for the purposes of interest calculations under this Agreement, deemed to consist of.
(g)    Minimum Interest for Swiss Subsidiaries.


 
70
 

93782947_8



(i)    Without derogation or duplication of the provision set forth in Section 4.10, the rates of interest provided for in this Agreement are minimum interest rates.
(ii)    When entering into this Agreement, the parties have assumed that the interest payable at the rates set out in this Section 4.1 is not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding Tax. This notwithstanding, if a tax deduction for a Swiss Withholding Tax is required by law in respect of any interest payable by a Swiss Subsidiary under a Loan Document and should it be unlawful for any Swiss Subsidiary to make an increased payment under Section 4.10(a)(A) or indemnify a Lender under Section 4.10(c) for such Swiss Withholding Tax for any reason, where this would otherwise be required by the terms of Section 4.10, then:
(A)    the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment shall be the interest rate which would have applied to that interest payment as provided for by Section 1.6 divided by one minus the rate at which the relevant tax deduction is required to be made under Swiss Withholding Tax law and/or applicable double taxation treaties (where the rate at which the relevant tax deduction is required to be made is for this purpose expressed as a fraction of one); and
(B)    the Swiss Subsidiary shall (i) pay the relevant interest at the adjusted rate in accordance with paragraph (A) above and (ii) make the tax deduction on the interest so recalculated, and all references to a rate of interest under the Loan Documents shall be construed accordingly.
(iii)    To the extent that interest payable by a Swiss Subsidiary under a Loan Document becomes subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, each relevant Lender and such Swiss Subsidiary shall promptly cooperate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the appropriate tax authority) to the extent possible and necessary:
(A)    for the relevant Swiss Subsidiary to obtain authorization to make interest payments without the being subject to Swiss Withholding Tax; and
(B)    to ensure that any person which is entitled to a full or partial refund under any applicable double taxation treaty is so refunded.
Section 4.2    Commitment Fee. The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, a non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in Dollars at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage for Commitment Fee on the average daily unused portion of the amount of the Revolving A Commitment or Revolving B Commitment, as applicable, of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders, if any) during the applicable period; provided, that the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans shall not be considered usage of the Revolving A Commitment or Revolving B Commitment, as applicable, for the purpose of calculating the Commitment Fee. The Commitment Fee shall accrue commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or, if later, the date of payment in full of all Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations) and shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date (and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date upon demand). Such Commitment Fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Ratable Share.
Section 4.3    Pro Rata Treatment: Manner of Payment.


 
71
 

93782947_8



(a)    Subject to Section 4.11(a)(iv), each payment by the Parent Borrower on account of any Commitment Fees shall be allocated according to the respective Revolving A Ratable Share and Revolving B Ratable Share, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Subject to Section 4.11(a)(ii), each payment on account of principal or interest on the Revolving A Credit Loans and the Revolving B Credit Loans shall be applied pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving A Credit Loans and the Revolving B Credit Loans, as the case may be, then held by the relevant Lenders. Each Commitment reduction by the Parent Borrower shall be allocated among the relevant Lenders according to the Revolving A Ratable Share or the Revolving B Ratable Share, as the case may be.
(b)    Each payment by any Credit Party on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts (including the Reimbursement Obligation) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the relevant Funding Office, for the account of the Lenders, in the currency in which such Obligation is denominated, as the case may be, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever (as provided in Section 4.10). Such payments shall be made no later than 3:00 p.m., Local Time. Any payment received after the time set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of the L/C Fees shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the relevant Issuing Lenders and the relevant Lenders.
(c)    Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Sections 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 or 13.2 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any payments received by it under this Section 4.3 for the account of any other Lender to such Lender promptly following receipt thereof to the appropriate Lending Office or other address specified by such Lender. Subject to Section 4.1(b)(ii), if any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day (other than payments on the LIBOR Rate Loans and Canadian CDOR Loans), it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment. If any payment on a LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
Section 4.4    Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that any Credit Party shall fail to pay any of the Obligations when due and the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 11.2(a), all payments received by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders upon the Secured Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the Secured Obligations shall be applied as follows:
First, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
Second, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees (other than Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit fees payable to the Revolving Credit Lenders), indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;


 
72
 

93782947_8



Third, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit fees payable to the Revolving Credit Lenders and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;
Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and payment obligations then owing under Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities and any drawn and unreimbursed amounts under Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender (provided that the Dollar Equivalent of principal paid to the French Swingline Lender and the MXN Swingline Lender pursuant to this clause Fourth shall not exceed in the aggregate the Shared Foreign Swingline Sublimit Amount), the Hedge Banks, the Cash Management Banks, the holders of Debt under the Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities and the Bilateral L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them;
Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lenders, to cash collateralize any L/C Obligations then outstanding and any undrawn amounts under Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities, ratably among the Issuing Lenders and the Bilateral L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fifth payable to them; and
Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Parent Borrower or as otherwise required by Applicable Law;
provided that to the extent any payments are received from any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and applied in accordance with this Section 4.4, such payments shall only be applied to the Obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower. To the extent that any such payment received by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders is denominated in a currency which is different from the currency in which any of the Obligations is denominated, unless such payment was required to be made in such different currency pursuant to the express terms hereof, the portion of such payment to be applied to such Obligations shall be converted by the Administrative Agent in accordance with its customary practices to the currency of such Obligations and the reasonable costs of any such conversion shall be for the account of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities and Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof at the time of such application, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank, Bilateral L/C Issuer or holder of Debt under such Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank, Bilateral L/C Issuer or holder of Debt under a Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article XII for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.
Section 4.5    Adjustments. Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or Lenders (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or to the Lenders under a particular Credit Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or if any Lender shall at any time receive any collateral in respect to the Obligations owing


 
73
 

93782947_8



to it (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off or counterclaim or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase for cash (at face value) from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Extensions of Credit, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Parent Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Extensions of Credit may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. To the extent that any such payment received by the Benefited Lender is denominated in a currency which is different from the currency in which such other Lender’s Extensions of Credit is denominated, unless such payment was required to be made in such different currency pursuant to the express terms hereof, the portion of such payment to be used to purchase such other Lender’s Extensions of Credit shall be converted by the Administrative Agent in accordance with its customary practices to the currency of such Lender’s Extensions of Credit and the reasonable costs of any such conversion shall be for the account of the applicable Borrower.
Section 4.6    Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit; Assumption by the Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans are several and are not joint or joint and several. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to a proposed borrowing date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the Loans to be borrowed (which notice shall not release such Lender from its obligations hereunder), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion or amount available to the Administrative Agent on the proposed borrowing date in accordance with Section 2.2(c) or 2.5(b), as applicable, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Parent Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date after such borrowing date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount, until paid, equal to the product of (a) the amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, times (b) the daily average Federal Funds Rate or, in the case of an amount in Euros, Sterling or any Optional Currency, the customary rate for the settlement of interbank obligations in such Optional Currency as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, during such period as determined by the Administrative Agent, times (c) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such borrowing date to the date on which such amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 4.6 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender’s pro rata share of such Loans is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such borrowing date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount made available by the Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to such borrowing, on demand, from the relevant Borrower. The failure of any Lender to make available its pro rata share of any Loan shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its pro rata share of such Loan, available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its pro rata share of such Loan available on the borrowing date.
Section 4.7    Changed Circumstances; Illegality.


 
74
 

93782947_8



(a)    Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate or CDOR Rate Availability. If with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan: (i) the Administrative Agent or any Lender (after consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall determine, acting reasonably and in good faith, that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate or CDOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan or (ii) the Required Lenders reasonably and in good faith determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate or CDOR Rate applicable to a LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding LIBOR Rate Loans or Canadian CDOR Loans for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Parent Borrower. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans or Canadian CDOR Loans and the right of the Revolving Borrowers to convert any Revolving Credit Loan to or continue any Revolving Credit Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan shall be suspended, and the relevant Borrower shall repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan together with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan, as applicable, or, if such LIBOR Rate Loan is denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such Dollar LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan to an Alternate Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, as of the last day of such Interest Period.
(b)    Illegality.
(i)    If, after the Closing Date, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the Closing Date of any such Governmental Authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan or to make or maintain any Canadian CDOR Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Parent Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the affected Lender or Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans or to make Canadian CDOR Loans, as the case may be, and the right of the relevant Borrower to convert any Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders or continue any Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders as a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Canadian CDOR Loan, as the case may be, shall be suspended and thereafter such Borrower may select from the affected Lender or Lenders only Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as the case may be, (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a Dollar LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Dollar LIBOR Rate Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders shall immediately be converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period, (iii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in Euros, Sterling or any Optional Currency (other than Canadian Dollars) to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, then the relevant Borrower shall immediately repay the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders, and (iv) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a Canadian CDOR Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Canadian CDOR Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders shall immediately be converted to a Canadian Base Rate Loan.


 
75
 

93782947_8



(ii)    If, after the Closing Date, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the Closing Date of any such Governmental Authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain Loans in Euros, Sterling or any Revolving A Optional Currency or Revolving B Optional Currency, as the case may be, and/or into any jurisdiction set forth for its Class on Schedule 1.1(b), such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Parent Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the affected Lender or Lenders to make or maintain Loans in any such currency and/or into such jurisdiction set forth for its Class on Schedule 1.1(b) and the right of the relevant Revolving Borrower to request or continue any Revolving Credit Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders in such currency and/or into such jurisdiction shall be suspended, and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain Loans in any such currency and/or into any such jurisdiction to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, then the relevant Revolving Borrower shall immediately repay the applicable Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders.
(c)    Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    subject any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Loan, Letter of Credit or L/C Application or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) of the principal of or interest on any Loan, Letter of Credit or L/C Application or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (without coverage for any Taxes as defined in Section 4.10(a) or Other Taxes as defined in Section 4.10(b) and without coverage of any taxes expressly excluded by Section 4.10(a)); or
(ii)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board other than those used to calculate the LIBOR Rate or the CDOR Rate), special deposit, insurance or capital or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) or shall impose on any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting any Loan or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any event of the kind described in this Section 4.7(c), is to increase the costs to any of the Lenders of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue or participate in any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the yield or amount of any sum received or receivable by any of the Lenders under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or L/C Application in an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Parent Borrower of such notice from the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower shall pay (or shall cause the relevant Borrower to pay) to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Lenders for such increased cost or reduction. The Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender will promptly notify the Parent Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.7(c); provided that the Administrative Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever to the Lenders or the Parent Borrower in the event it fails to do so. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary


 
76
 

93782947_8



to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Parent Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct absent manifest error. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.7(c) if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers (to the extent that such Lender has the right to do so under its credit facilities with similarly situated borrowers).
(d)    Additional Reserve Costs.
(i)    If and so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks) in respect of any of such Lender’s Loans, such Lender may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’s Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loans at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loans.
(ii)    Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (i) above shall be determined by the relevant Lender, acting in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five (5) Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the relevant Loans, and such additional interest so notified to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the relevant Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loans.
(e)    Mitigation. If any Lender demands compensation under Section 4.7(c) or Section 4.7(d) or if the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans is suspended under Section 4.7(b), or if any amount payable under this Agreement by a Borrower established in France becomes not deductible from that Borrower’s taxable income for French tax purposes by reason of that amount being (i) paid or accrued to a Finance Party incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a Lending Office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or (ii) paid to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Finance Party in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, then such Lender will use reasonable efforts to mitigate such issues including by designating a different Lending Office for each affected Loan if such designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation or permit such Lender to make and maintain LIBOR Rate Loans under Section 4.7(b) and would not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the additional amount or amounts required to compensate such Lender in respect of any increased costs, the changes as a result of which such amounts are due and the manner of computing such amounts shall be deemed conclusive, provided that the determinations set forth in such certificate are made reasonably and in good faith. If any Lender demands compensation from the Parent Borrower under this Section 4.7 more than one hundred eighty (180) days after such Lender had knowledge of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such compensation, the Parent Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse such Lender for amounts incurred as a result of the occurrence of such event more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which the Lender made such demand (provided that if the event giving rise to the compensation or indemnification is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect). Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.7, no Lender shall demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction referred to above if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.


 
77
 

93782947_8



(f)    Replacement of a Lender. If (a) any Lender demands compensation under Section 4.7(c) or Section 4.7(d) (which compensation is not demanded by all of the Lenders of the same Class) and the Parent Borrower deems such additional amounts to be material, (b) the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain any Loan is suspended under Section 4.7(a) or Section 4.7(b), (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, or (d) any amount payable to any Lender by a Borrower established in France under this Agreement is not, or will not be (when the relevant corporate income tax is calculated) treated as a deductible charge or expense for French tax purposes for that Borrower by reason of that amount being (i) paid or accrued to a Lender incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a Lending Office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, or (ii) paid to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Lender in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, then, in each case, the Parent Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, obtain, at the Parent Borrower’s expense (or at the expense of a Defaulting Lender whose representation contained in clause (iii) of Section 2.1(b) proves to be false), one or more other Lenders or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, one or more replacement financial institutions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (if not already a Lender) and willing to replace such Lender, and such Lender shall execute and deliver to such replacement Lender an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s entire interest under this Agreement for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans and L/C Obligations held by the affected Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of such assignment, provided that (i) a Lender that demands compensation under Section 4.7(c) or Section 4.7(d) shall not be required to make any such assignment if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Parent Borrower to require such assignment pursuant to clause (a) above cease to apply, (ii) the Parent Borrower shall have paid to such affected Lender the compensation that it is entitled to receive under Section 4.7 through the date of such assignment, (iii) such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation and (iv) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. Upon the execution by such replacement Lender of such Assignment and Assumption and compliance with the requirements of Section 13.7(b), such replacement Lender shall succeed to all of such Lender’s rights and duties under this Agreement. If the Parent Borrower exercises its election under this Section 4.7(f) to replace a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), the Parent Borrower shall pay the registration and processing fee payable to the Administrative Agent under Section 13.7(b).
Section 4.8    Indemnity. Each Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss, cost or expense incurred by a Lender as a result of (a) any failure by such Borrower to borrow, convert or repay any amount in connection with any LIBOR Rate Loan or any Canadian CDOR Loan hereunder on the date specified therefor in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, (b) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan by such Borrower on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, other than pursuant to Section 4.7(b) and (c) any assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period thereof as a result of a request by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 4.7(f). The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s reasonable discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Ratable Share of the LIBOR Rate Loans, in the interbank eurocurrency market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the relevant Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five Business Days after receipt thereof.

Section 4.9    Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender the Parent Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Parent Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct absent manifest error. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.9 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers (to the extent that such Lender has the right to do so under its credit facilities with similarly situated borrowers). The applicable Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
Section 4.10    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free and Clear. Any and all payments by any Credit Party under any Loan Document or under the Letters of Credit shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholding, and all liabilities with respect thereto, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Withholding Agent shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document or under any Letter of Credit to any Finance Party, (A) the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.10) such Finance Party (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the amount such party would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (B) such Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (C) such Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (D) such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in the manner provided in Section 4.10(e). A Credit Party shall not, however, be required to pay any amounts pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding sentence (i) in respect of, in the case of each Finance Party, income, franchise or similar taxes imposed on (or measured by) its net income (however denominated) imposed by any Governmental Authority, (ii) in respect of, in the case of each Lender, any withholding taxes payable with respect to payments to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents under Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, any statute, treaty, ruling, determination or regulation) in effect on the Closing Date (or such later date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder) or on the date, if any, on which such Lender changes any applicable Lending Office by designating a different applicable Lending Office (other than pursuant to Section 4.7(e)), but not excluding any withholding taxes payable solely as a result of (1) any change in such Applicable Laws occurring after the Closing Date (or such later date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder) or after the date of

93782947_8



designation of such new Lending Office, as the case may be, or (2) the addition of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(a), (iii) any branch profits tax imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction, (iv) in respect of, in the case of any Finance Party, Taxes attributable to such recipient’s failure to comply with Section 4.10(f), or (v) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being referred to as “Taxes”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10(a), a Credit Party incorporated in France shall not be required to make any increased payments in respect of any tax deduction on account of tax imposed by France on a payment made to a Lender if such tax deduction is imposed solely because this payment is made to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Lender in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.
(b)    Stamp and Other Taxes. In addition, each Credit Party shall pay any present or future stamp, registration, recordation or documentary taxes or any other similar fees or charges or excise taxes, levies of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction which arise from any payment made by such Credit Party hereunder (except for the excluded taxes covered by Sections 4.10(a)) or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise similarly with respect to, this Agreement, the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the other Loan Documents, or the perfection of any rights or security interest in respect thereto or the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders under any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”), or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.
(c)    Indemnity.
(i)    The relevant Credit Party shall indemnify each Lender and each Agent (each a “Finance Party”) for the full amount of Taxes payable or paid by such Finance Party or that such Credit Party should have withheld or deducted from a payment to such Finance Party, but failed to withhold or deduct, pursuant to Section 4.10(a) and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.10) paid by such Finance Party and any liability (including interest and penalties, if any) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.
(ii)    (1) In the event a claim against any Finance Party arises that is covered by the indemnity provisions of this Section 4.10(c), notice shall be given promptly by such Finance Party to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent).
(A)    If the relevant Credit Party would be liable for the entire amount of such claim pursuant to this Section 4.10(c), then the relevant Credit Party and the Parent Borrower shall have the right to contest and defend by all appropriate legal proceedings any such third-party claim and to control all settlements of any such third-party claim (unless such Finance Party agrees to assume the cost of settlement and to forgo such indemnity) and to select lead counsel to defend any and all such third-party claims at the sole cost and expense of the Parent Borrower, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Parent Borrower may not effect any settlement that could result in any cost, expense or liability to any Finance Party unless such Finance Party consents in writing to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any Finance Party may select and engage counsel to participate in any defense, in which event such counsel shall be at the sole cost and expense of the party selecting and engaging such counsel. In connection with any such claim, action or proceeding, the parties shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with access to relevant books and records in their possession.

93782947_8



(B)    If the relevant Credit Party would be liable for only a portion of such claim pursuant to this Section 4.10(c), then the relevant Credit Party and the Parent Borrower shall have the right to consult with such Finance Party regarding such claim, any settlement and the selection of lead counsel to defend such claim.
(C)    If any Finance Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or has realized a credit or reduction in tax in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes withheld by the relevant Credit Party or for which such Finance Party has received payment from the relevant Credit Party hereunder, it promptly shall repay the amount of such refund to the relevant Credit Party, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Finance Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the relevant Credit Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the relevant Credit Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (D), in no event with a Finance Party be required to pay any amount to a Credit Party pursuant to this paragraph (D) the payment of which would place the Finance Party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Finance Party would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund, credit or reduction in tax had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid. This paragraph (D) shall not be construed to require any Finance Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.
(iii)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify each Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.7(c) and (iii) any excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes each Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.10(c)(iii).
(d)    No Requirement to Disclose Tax Returns. Nothing in this Section 4.10 shall be construed to require any Finance Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the relevant Credit Party or any other person.
(e)    Evidence of Payment. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Parent Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 13.1(b), the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

93782947_8



(f)    Delivery of Tax Forms.
(i)    Each Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and to the Administrative Agent on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and at such other time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or when reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information (A) as will permit the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (i) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document or Letter of Credit are subject to Taxes and (ii) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (B) to evidence such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is resident for Federal tax purposes in the United States,
(A)    any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and
(B)    each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant, on or prior to the date such Participant purchases the related participation) (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by Applicable Law or upon the request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I)    executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(II)    executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(III)    executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

82
 

93782947_8



within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form),
(V)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, or
(VI)    executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Laws to permit the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;
(C)    each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of Applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender; and
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date, and for purposes of this Section 4.10, “Applicable Law” shall include FATCA.
(iii)    Each Lender beneficially entitled to a payment from a UK Borrower shall complete any procedural formalities necessary for the relevant UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make


 
83
 

93782947_8



a payment without a UK Tax Deduction and maintain that authorization where an authorization expires or otherwise ceases to have effect.
(iv)    A Lender which (A) becomes a party on the Closing Date that holds a current passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme (a “UK Treaty Passport”), and which then wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name on the signature pages to this Agreement or (B) becomes a party after the Closing Date that holds a UK Treaty Passport, and which desires that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Assignment and Assumption which it executes on becoming a party and, having done so, shall discharge its obligation hereunder.
(v)    A Lender which has not included an indication described in the preceding clause (iv) but which holds a UK Treaty Passport and subsequently wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement shall notify the relevant UK Borrower of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of its residence.
(g)    Lender Status Confirmation. Each Lender confirms that on the date of this Agreement that it is a UK Qualifying Lender. Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall confirm, in the Assignment and Assumption which it executes on becoming a party which of the following categories it falls in:
(i)    not a UK Qualifying Lender;
(ii)    a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender); or
(iii)    a UK Treaty Lender.
If a new Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 4.10(g) then such Lender or new Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each UK Borrower) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Parent Borrower). Any Lender that ceases to be a UK Qualifying Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the relevant UK Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Assumption shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Section 4.10(g).
(h)    Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Credit Parties and the Finance Parties hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Credit Parties and the Finance Parties contained in this Section 4.10 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Aggregate Commitment, but shall be limited in duration to the applicable statute of limitations for Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification or repayment is sought.
(i)    Additional Provisions.
(i)    The relevant Credit Party shall not be required to indemnify any Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Lender in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section 4.10 to the extent that (i) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.10 or (ii) the obligation with respect to such Taxes or Other Taxes existed on the Closing Date (or later date on which such Lender became a Lender


 
84
 

93782947_8



hereunder) in respect of such Lender or, with respect to payments to a newly designated Lending Office, existed on the date such Lender designated such new Lending Office with respect to a Loan.
(ii)    Any Lender or the Administrative Agent claiming any additional amount payable pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall use all reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) that would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue (including but not limited to filing any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or changing the jurisdiction of its applicable Lending Office).
Section 4.11    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the following provisions shall govern:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 13.9.
(ii)    Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11.2 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.5), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Parent Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and funded participations under this Agreement and (B) cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Credit Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Credit Party against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its Ratable Share and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans owed to, to all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied


 
85
 

93782947_8



to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility without giving effect to Section 4.11(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 4.11(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 4.2 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and, except as set forth below, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be entitled to receive letter of credit commissions pursuant to Section 3.3(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Ratable Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral. With respect to any Commitment Fee or letter of credit commission not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender, the Parent Borrower shall (A) pay to each non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (B) pay to each applicable Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (C) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)    Reallocation of Participation Interests to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans, the Participation Interests of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, each such reallocation shall be given effect only to the extent that, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the Revolving A Credit Exposure or Revolving B Credit Exposure, as the case may be (adjusted for this purpose to reflect any reallocation previously made to such Lender under this Section 4.11(a)(iv)), of that Lender.
(v)    Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in Section 4.11(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, each Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.2(b)(i).
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Defaulting Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded Participation Interests to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable


 
86
 

93782947_8



Share (without giving effect to Section 4.11(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
Section 4.12    Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a)    Extensions of Credit. The Extensions of Credit made by each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender or such Issuing Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender or the applicable Issuing Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Extensions of Credit made by the Lenders or such Issuing Lender to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender or any Issuing Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) one or more Notes which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b)    Participations. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Credit Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Credit Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

Section 11.2    Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Parent Borrower:
(a)    Acceleration: Termination of Facilities. Declare the principal of and interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations at the time outstanding, and all other amounts owed to the Lenders and to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) and all other Obligations, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and terminate the Credit Facilities and any right of any Borrower to request borrowings or Letters of Credit thereunder; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 11.1(h), Section 11.1(i) or Section 11.1(j), the Credit Facilities shall be automatically terminated and all Obligations (including the obligation to provide cash collateral pursuant to Section 11.2(b)) shall automatically become due and payable.
(b)    Letters of Credit.
(i)    With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to Section 11.2(a), (ii) in the event of a repayment under Section 2.4(b) and (iii) in the event there is any Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 4.11(a)(iv) and any cash collateral provided by any Defaulting Lender), require the relevant Borrower at such time to deposit or cause to be deposited in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent (the “Cash Collateral Account”) an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit (or in the amount required under Section 2.4(b) or such Fronting Exposure). In the case of any such Letter of Credit denominated in Euros, Sterling or any Optional Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the amount deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be calculated at the end of each calendar month in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.2. In the event that the Dollar Equivalent of such amount at the time of any such calculation exceeds the amount deposited in such Cash Collateral Account with respect to such Letter of Credit, the Parent Borrower agrees to promptly deposit or cause to be deposited into such Cash Collateral Account an amount equal to such excess. If at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the relevant Borrower will, promptly, and in any event within three Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. Amounts held in such Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of Swingline Loans, drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof, if any, remaining after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon shall be applied to repay any other unpaid Secured Obligations. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, the applicable Fronting Exposure shall have been eliminated, the Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such Cash Collateral Account shall be promptly returned to the relevant Borrower. If any Borrower is required to provide cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.4(b), such amount, to the extent not applied as aforesaid, shall be promptly returned to the relevant Borrower on demand,


 
124
 

93782947_8



provided that after giving effect to such return (a) no repayment is required under Section 2.4(b)(i) or Section 2.4(b)(ii) and (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time.
(ii)    Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a Lien upon and security interest in its Cash Collateral Account and all amounts held therein from time to time as security for the Extensions of Credit for the account of such Borrower, and for application to its Reimbursement Obligations and as set forth in Section 2.4(b)(iii) as and when the same shall arise. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account for the benefit of the Secured Parties and such Borrower shall have no interest therein. Other than any interest on the investment of such amounts in Cash Equivalents, which investments shall be made at the direction of such Borrower (unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the determination as to investments shall be made at the option and in the discretion of the Administrative Agent), amounts in the Cash Collateral Account shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.
(c)    Rights of Collection. Exercise on behalf of the Secured Parties all of its other rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Applicable Law, in order to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations.
(d)    Prepayment and Conversion of Foreign Currency Loans. Demand that any or all of the then outstanding Foreign Currency Loans be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Foreign Currency Loans shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 11.1(h), Section 11.1(i) or Section 11.1(j), outstanding Foreign Currency Loans shall be automatically redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof.
Section 11.3    Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Non-Waiver; etc. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist in law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.
Section 11.4    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Parent Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

(a)    The Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, shall have the right, exercisable at the discretion of the Required Lenders, to credit bid and purchase for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties all or any portion of Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by the Administrative Agent under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof, or a sale under a plan of reorganization, or at any other sale or foreclosure conducted by the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b)    Each Lender hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates that is a Secured Party, that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document or with the written consent of the

93782947_8



Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate obligations under any of the Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral.
ARTICLE XII

THE AGENT
Section 12.1    Appointment and Authority.
(a)    Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Wells Fargo to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for the term hereof and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and such other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Issuing Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligation arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Any reference to the Administrative Agent in this Article XII shall be deemed to refer to Wells Fargo solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not in its capacity as a Lender. The provisions of this Article XII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and neither the Parent Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such Issuing Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including, without limitation, to enter into additional Loan Documents or supplements to existing Loan Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties). In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article XII for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of Articles XII and XIII (including Section 13.2, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
Section 12.2    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective


 
127
 

93782947_8



Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Section 12.3    Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(c)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.2 and Section 13.9) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith (including, without limitation, any report provided to it by an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.8), (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or (vi) the utilization of any Issuing Lender’s L/C Commitment (it being understood


 
128
 

93782947_8



and agreed that each Issuing Lender shall monitor compliance with its own L/C Commitment without any further action by the Administrative Agent).
Section 12.4    Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Parent Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 12.5    Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 12.6    Indemnification. To the extent that the Parent Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 13.2 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Arranger, such Issuing Lender, such Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Arranger, such Issuing Lender or such Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent, such Arranger, such Issuing Lender, or such Swingline Lender). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 12.6 are subject to the provisions of Section 4.6. The agreements in this Section 12.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans, any Reimbursement Obligation and all other amounts payable hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 12.7    The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include


 
129
 

93782947_8



the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Section 12.8    Resignation of Agent; Successor Agents.
(a)    The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Parent Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation, and subject to the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of, the Parent Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Parent Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Parent Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 13.2 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties


 
130
 

93782947_8



in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. Any resignation or removal of an Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute the resignation or removal of any sub-agent of such Administrative Agent.
(d)    Any resignation by, or removal of, Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender, if in its sole discretion it elects to, and Swingline Lender, (ii) the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Lender, if in its sole discretion it elects to, shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.
Section 12.9    Arrangers; Syndication Agents; Documentation Agents. The Arrangers, the syndication agents and the documentation agents, in their capacities as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 12.10    Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender. The provisions of this Article XII (other than Section 12.7) shall apply to the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender mutatis mutandis to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent.
Section 12.11    Collateral and Guaranty Matters.
(a)    Each of the Lenders (including in its or any of its Affiliate’s capacities as a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:
(i)    to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Loan Document (A) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than (1) unasserted contingent obligations and (2) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities or Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank, Bilateral L/C Issuer or holder of Debt under a Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition to a Person other than a Credit Party permitted under the Loan Documents, or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 13.9;
(ii)    to subordinate any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien under Section 9.2(h); and
(iii)    to release any Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.


 
131
 

93782947_8



Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.11. In each case as specified in this Section 12.11, the Administrative Agent will, at the Parent Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under Article X, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 12.11. In the case of any such sale, transfer or disposal of any property constituting Collateral in a transaction constituting an Asset Disposition permitted pursuant to Section 9.8 to a Person other than a Credit Party, the Liens created by any of the Security Documents on such property shall be automatically released without need for further action by any person.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
Section 12.12    Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities and Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities. No Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank, Bilateral L/C Issuer or holder of Debt under any Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility that obtains the benefits of Section 4.4 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities and Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities and Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank, Bilateral L/C Issuer or holder of Debt under any Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility, as the case may be.

If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Parent Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under Applicable Law. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, in the case of any claim, litigation, investigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 13.2 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a third party, the Parent Borrower or any other Credit Party.

(e)    waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 13.4 any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages), provided, however, that nothing contained in this clause (e) shall limit the obligations of the Parent Borrower to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in a claim for which an Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 13.2; and
(f)    to the extent that any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and agrees, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its Obligations under this Agreement and any Note.
Section 13.5    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH CREDIT PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

(A)    the Parent Borrower, provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to (1) a Lender, (2) an Affiliate of a Lender, (3) an Approved Fund or (4) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person, provided, further, that the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B)    the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for, with respect to the Revolving Credit Facilities, an assignment to an Assignee that is a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, and, with respect to the Term Loan Facility, an assignment to an Assignee that is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C)    the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lenders for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facilities.
(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Credit Facility, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 and the remaining Commitment or Loans of such Lender shall not be less than $10,000,000, unless each of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that (A) no such consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; provided further that the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Parent Borrower prior to such tenth (10th) Business Day;
(B)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment;
(C)    the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;

137
93782947_8



(D)    such assignment shall not, without the consent of the Parent Borrower, on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties (which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge may reasonably be withheld), require the Parent Borrower or any other Credit Party to file a registration statement with the SEC (or any securities exchange) or apply to qualify the Loans (or any Notes) under the blue sky laws of any state;
(E)    the Assignee shall represent in the Assignment and Assumption as of the date of such assignment that it has the full power and authority to make Loans and other Extensions of Credit into the jurisdictions and in the currencies made available in the Credit Facility under which it is committing;
(F)    in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Ratable Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and Participation Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs;
(G)    no such assignment shall be made (1) to the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (2) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (2) or (3) to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person); and
(H)    in the event of an assignment of any Commitment or Loan under any Credit Facility which was made available to Brink’s International, C.V., Brink’s Dutch Holdings, B.V., or any other Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower organized under the laws of The Netherlands, the Assignee must qualify as a Professional Market Party.
For the purposes of this Section 13.7(b), the term “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person)) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender; provided that no Approved Fund shall be entitled to receive any amount pursuant to Section 4.7, Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.10(a), Section 4.10(c) or Section 13.2 that would be greater than the

138
93782947_8



amount the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the portion of the Commitment and Loans assigned to such Approved Fund by such Lender.
(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 13.7(b)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and subject to the requirements of Section 4.7, Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.10(a), Section 4.10(c) or Section 13.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.7(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.7(c) (other than a purported assignment to a natural Person or the Parent Borrower or any of the Parent Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, which shall be null and void).
(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Parent Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each Incremental Facility Amendment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Parent Borrower, the Issuing Lenders and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender.
(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 13.7(b)(ii) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 13.7(b)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(vi)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 13.7(b), and any such assignment shall be effective upon being recorded in the Register in accordance with Section 13.7(b)(iv). Each of the Parent Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy

139
93782947_8



or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of any Credit Party, any Lender, any Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent to file any claim in or otherwise take any action with respect to any existing insolvency proceeding that was not instituted by such party.
(vii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.7(b), no Lender may assign all or any portion of Loans made to or Letters of Credit issued for the account of Brink’s International Holdings AG, a company formed under the laws of Switzerland, or any other Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower formed under the laws of Switzerland (each, a “Swiss Subsidiary”) to any Assignee other than a Swiss Qualifying Bank if, as a result of any such assignment the Swiss Non-Bank Rules would be breached.
(viii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.7, no assignment, transfer, sub-participation or subcontracting in relation to a drawing under this Agreement by a Borrower established in France may be effected to any Assignee incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a Lending Office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction without the prior consent of the Parent Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c)    Participation.
(i)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person) or the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such participation shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000, (ii) such Lender’s obligations (including, without limitation, its Commitment) under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iv) the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (A) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 13.9 and (B) directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 13.7(c)(ii), the Parent Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the requirements of Section 4.7, Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.10(a), Section 4.10(c) or Section 13.2 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.7(b). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.22 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.5 as though it were a Lender.
(ii)    No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.7, Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.10(a) or Section 4.10(c) than the applicable participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the

140
93782947_8



extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10(a) or Section 4.10(c) unless such Participant complies with Section 4.10(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.10(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).
(iii)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Parent Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d)    Certain Pledges or Assignments.
(i)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.7(d) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall (x) release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, (y) substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto or (z) grant any such pledgee or assignee any rights as a Lender or Participant.
(ii)    The Parent Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (i) above.
Section 13.8    Disclosure of Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process (after providing notice to the Parent Borrower, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and practicable, to permit an opportunity to seek a protective order or injunctive relief), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement, under any other Loan Document or under any Secured Hedge Agreement, Secured Cash Management Agreement, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facility or Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility, or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedge Agreement, Secured Cash Management Agreement, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facility or Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility, or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 13.8, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights

141
93782947_8



or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.8 by the disclosing party or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Credit Parties unless the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender, as applicable, has actual knowledge that the disclosure of such Information by such source constituted a breach of an obligation of such source to maintain confidentiality of such Information, (i) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information (customarily found in such publications) upon the Parent Borrower’s prior review and approval, (j) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (k) to the extent such information is independently developed by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders have not otherwise breached their confidentiality obligations hereunder and have not developed such information based on information received from a third party that to their knowledge has breached confidentiality obligations owing to the Credit Parties or (l) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense. For the purposes of this Section 13.8, “Information” means all information received from the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries relating to the Credit Parties or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Credit Parties. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 13.8 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Section 13.9    Amendments, Waivers and Consents.
(a)    Except as set forth below, any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived by the Lenders and any consent may be given by the Lenders, if, but only if, such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and delivered to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an amendment, signed by the Credit Parties; provided, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of each Lender affected thereby:
(i)    except as expressly contemplated in Section 2.9, increase the amount or extend the time of the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans or issue or participate in Letters of Credit,
(ii)    extend the originally scheduled time or times of payment of the principal (it being understood that a waiver of a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.5(d) shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders) of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or the time or times of payment of interest or fees on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation,
(iii)    reduce the rate of interest or fees payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (A) to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the rate set forth in Section 4.1(c) during the continuance of an Event of Default or (B) to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder,
(iv)    reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation,

142
93782947_8

(2)    without the consent of each Revolving A Lender, amend the definition of “Required Revolving A Lenders” or “Revolving A Optional Currency”,

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders, the Required Lenders, or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders, the Required Lenders, or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other requisite affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Section 13.15    Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.15, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 13.17    Binding Effect; Term of Agreement.
(a)    This Agreement shall become effective at such time, on or after the Closing Date, that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1 have been satisfied or waived and when it shall have been executed by each of the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have received copies of the signature pages hereto (or electronic counterparts) which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender (including the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender), and thereafter this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Credit Party, each Lender (including the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender) and the Administrative Agent, together with their permitted successors and assigns.

93782947_8



(a)    In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control, provided, that in the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any Fee Letter, which conflict or inconsistency relates solely to a matter affecting the parties thereto, such Fee Letter shall control; provided further that any provision of the Security Documents which imposes additional burdens on the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or further restricts the rights of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or gives the Administrative Agent or Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.
(b)    The Parent Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Article VIII and Article IX hereof shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, the Parent Borrower shall not engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any covenant contained in Articles VIII or IX, before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, the Parent Borrower shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained in Articles VIII or IX.
Section 13.19    Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
Section 13.20    Judgment Currency. The obligations of any Credit Party in respect of any sum due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than the currency in which such sum originally due to such party is denominated (the “original currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such party of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency such party may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the original currency with the judgment currency. If the amount of the original currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such party in the original currency, such Credit Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such party against such loss, and if the amount of the original currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such party to this Agreement, such party agrees to remit to the Credit Party, as the case may be, such excess. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 13.21    USA Patriot Act Notice; Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act or any other Anti-Money Laundering Laws, it is 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 or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act or such Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Parent Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including, without limitations, the USA Patriot Act and applicable “know your customer” rules and regulations.
Section 13.22    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to setoff and apply any

147
93782947_8



and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Affiliate different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender or any Affiliate thereof shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.11 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender or its Affiliate shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates as to which such right of setoff was exercised. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender, such Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender agree to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section 13.23    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
