Item 1.01       Entry into a Material Definition Agreement.
 
Item 2.03       Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-
Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Credit Agreement
On April 19, 2007, Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2007 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the Lenders named therein and Credit Suisse, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for the Lenders.  A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Credit Agreement includes a $310 million term loan with a maturity of seven years, a $55 million delayed draw term loan with a maturity of seven years, a $50 million revolving credit facility with a maturity of six years and a $70 million pre-funded letter of credit facility with a maturity of seven years.  The revolving credit facility also includes a subfacility for revolving letters of credit and a swingline subfacility.  Amounts outstanding under the revolving subfacilities are due on the maturity date for the revolving credit facility.  In addition, the Company expects it will be entitled, subject to obtaining lender commitments and meeting certain other conditions, to incur up to an additional $100 million of terms loans and increase the pre-funded letter of credit facility by an additional $30 million.  The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by most of the Company’s subsidiaries, including Harborside Healthcare Corporation (“Harborside”) and most of the subsidiaries of Harborside, and is secured by substantially all of their tangible and intangible assets.
Amounts borrowed under the term loan facilities are due in quarterly installments of 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the term loans under the term loan facilities outstanding as of January 15, 2008, with the remaining principal amount due on the maturity date of the term loans.
The loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable percentage plus, at the option of the Company, either (a) an alternative base rate determined by reference to the higher of (i) the prime rate announced by Credit Suisse and (ii) the federal funds rate plus one-half of 1.0%, or (b) a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate.  The applicable percentage for term loans is 1.0% for alternative base rate loans and 2.0% for Eurodollar rate loans; and the applicable percentage for revolving loans is up to 1.0% for alternative base rate revolving loans and up to 2.0% for Eurodollar rate revolving loans based on the Company’s total leverage ratio.  Loans under the swingline subfacility bear interest at the rate applicable to alternative base rate loans under the revolving credit facility.
The Company has agreed to pay fees for letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility equal to the applicable percentage then in effect with respect to Eurodollar rate revolving loans (initially 2.0%) times the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility.  The Company has also agreed to pay fees for letters of credit issued under the pre-funded letter of credit facility equal to 2.10% on the amount on deposit in the credit-linked deposit account related to such facility.  In addition, the Company
2


will pay to the issuer of any letter of credit customary fronting, issuance and drawing fees.  The Company is also obligated to pay commitment fees, depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio, of up to 0.50% per annum, on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility.  For purposes of this calculation, swingline loans are not treated as usage of the revolving credit facility.  The Company also paid arrangement fees on the closing of the Credit Agreement and will pay an annual administrative agent fee.
Subject to certain exceptions, loans under the Credit Agreement will be required to be prepaid with:
§100% of the net cash proceeds of any asset sale by the Company or its subsidiaries not reinvested or committed to be reinvested in productive assets within 360 days (however, this 360-day period will be extended by up to 180 days with respect to proceeds committed to be reinvested);
§100%, subject to reduction to a lower percentage based on the Company’s senior leverage ratio, of the net cash proceeds from an equity issuance;
§75%, subject to reduction to a lower percentage based on the Company’s senior leverage ratio, of excess cash flow for any year, commencing in 2008;
§100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or its subsidiaries, excluding indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Credit Agreement; and
§100% of any extraordinary receipt received by the Company or its subsidiaries that are not special purpose vehicles.
     The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on dividends on, and redemptions and repurchases of, equity interests and other restricted payments; limitations on prepayments, redemptions and repurchases of debt; limitations on liens and sale-leaseback transactions; limitations on loans and investments; limitations on debt, guarantees and hedging agreements; limitations on mergers, acquisitions and assets sales; limitations on transactions with affiliates; limitations on changes in business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries; limitations on restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make distributions; limitations on amendments of debt and other material agreements; and limitations on capital expenditures.  In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants, including a maximum senior leverage ratio, maximum total leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio.
First Supplemental Indenture
The Company entered into a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 19, 2007 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), with Harborside, certain subsidiaries of Harborside named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, which supplements the Indenture, dated as of April 12, 2007 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee.  A copy of the Supplemental Indenture is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by

CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of April 19, 2007, among SUN HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders (as defined in Article I), and CREDIT SUISSE, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Lenders.
 
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined in this introductory statement having the meaning given it in Article I), the Borrower will acquire all the Equity Interests in Harborside Healthcare Corporation (“Harborside”) through the merger (the “Merger”) of Horizon Merger Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), with and into Harborside, with (a)(i) each share of common stock of Harborside issued and outstanding (with certain exceptions as set forth in the Merger Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) being converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) each option and warrant to purchase a share of common stock of Harborside that is outstanding (with certain exceptions as set forth in the Merger Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Time being converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (after deduction for any applicable exercise price and taxes), and (iii) each share of preferred stock of Harborside issued and outstanding (with certain exceptions as set forth in the Merger Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Time being converted into the right to receive a pro rata portion of the Preferred Purchase Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), collectively, the “Merger Consideration”), which Merger Consideration shall be in an aggregate amount of approximately $349,400,000 (less certain expenses of Harborside as set forth in the Merger Agreement), and (b) Harborside surviving as a wholly owned Subsidiary.
 
In connection with the Merger, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders extend credit in the form of (a) Term Loans (i) on the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $310,000,000, and (ii) on no more than two occasions during the period commencing on the first Business Day after the Closing Date and ending on the Delayed Draw Commitment Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $55,000,000, and (b) Revolving Loans at any time and from time to time after the date hereof and until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $50,000,000. The Borrower has requested the Swingline Lender to extend credit, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof and until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in the form of Swingline Loans, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $10,000,000. The Borrower has requested the Issuing Bank to issue (a) RF Letters of Credit, in an aggregate face amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $15,000,000 and (b) PF Letters of Credit, in an aggregate face amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $70,000,000. The proceeds of the Term Loans to be made on the Closing Date are to be used solely to pay a portion of the Merger Consideration, to repay Existing


 
Indebtedness of the Borrower and Harborside and to pay related fees and expenses. The proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loans are to be used solely to finance the acquisition of the Moffie Properties and the NHP Properties (including the repayment of associated Indebtedness and the payment of related fees and expenses). The proceeds of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans are to be used, and Letters of Credit are to be requested, solely for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries.
 
The Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrower, and the Issuing Bank is willing to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

With respect to any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters during which any Permitted Acquisition or Significant Asset Sale occurs (and for purposes of determining whether an acquisition is a Permitted Acquisition under Section 6.04(g) or would result in a Default or an Event of Default), the Total Leverage Ratio and the Senior Leverage Ratio shall be calculated with respect to such period on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Permitted Acquisition or Significant Asset Sale (including, without duplication, (a) all pro forma adjustments permitted or required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (b) pro forma adjustments for cost savings (net of continuing associated expenses) to the extent such cost savings are factually supportable, are expected to have a continuing impact and have been realized or are reasonably expected to be realized within 12 months following such Permitted Acquisition or Significant Asset Sale; provided that all such adjustments should be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall be set forth in a reasonably detailed certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower), using, for purposes of making such calculations, the historical financial statements of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries which shall be reformulated as if such Permitted Acquisition or Significant Asset Sale, and any other Permitted Acquisitions and Significant Asset Sales that have been consummated during the period, had been consummated on the first day of such period.
 
SECTION 1.04. Classification of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Loan”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Revolving Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Revolving Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing”).

ARTICLE II
 
The Credits
 
SECTION 2.01. Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, (i) to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Term Loan Commitment, (ii) to fund its Credit-Linked Deposit on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed its PF L/C Commitment and (iii) to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. PF L/C Loans and Other PF L/C Loans may be prepaid without reducing the Commitments; provided, however, that neither PF L/C Loans nor Other PF L/C Loans may be reborrowed as such.
 
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Lender having a Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Delayed Draw Term Loans to the Borrower on not more than two occasions during the period commencing on the first Business Day after the Closing Date and ending on the Delayed Draw Commitment Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
 
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, each Lender having an Incremental Term Loan Commitment agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Incremental Term Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Term Loan Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
 
(d) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental PF L/C Assumption Agreement, each Lender having an Incremental PF L/C Commitment agrees, severally and not jointly, on the date of effectiveness of the Incremental PF L/C Assumption Agreement pursuant to which such Lender acquired its Incremental PF L/C Commitment,
33

to fund its Credit-Linked Deposit or Other Credit-Linked Deposit, as the case may be, in an amount not to exceed its Incremental PF L/C Commitment.
 
SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f) or 2.02(g), the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (except, with respect to any Incremental Term Borrowing, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement) or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.
 
(b) Subject to Sections 2.02(f), 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than five Eurodollar Borrowings of any Class outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Eurodollar Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.
 
(c) Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02(f) or 2.02(g), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.
 
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the
34

Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
 
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
 
(f) If the Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by Section 2.23(e) with respect to any RF Letter of Credit within the time specified in such Section, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Revolving Facility Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such Lender and shall be deemed to have reduced the RF L/C Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from such Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Revolving Facility Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate.
 
(g) If the Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by Section 2.23(e) with respect to any PF Letter of Credit or Other
35

PF Letter of Credit within the time specified in such Section, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each PF Lender or Incremental PF Lender, respectively, of such L/C Disbursement and its PF Pro Rata Percentage or Other PF Pro Rata Percentage, respectively, thereof. Each such Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank solely from such Lender’s PF Pro Rata Percentage or Other PF Pro Rata Percentage, as the case may be, of the Credit-Linked Deposits or Other Credit-Linked Deposits, respectively, on deposit with the Administrative Agent in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute a PF L/C Loan or Other PF L/C Loan, as the case may be, (bearing interest as described in paragraph (h) below) of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the PF L/C Exposure or Other PF L/C Exposure, respectively), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank such amounts. Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter pursuant to Section 2.23(e) will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account (it being understood that, thereafter, such amounts will be available to reimburse the Issuing Bank in accordance with the preceding sentence of this paragraph).
 
(h) On each date on which the Administrative Agent charges the Credit-Linked Deposit Account to reimburse an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.02(g), the Borrower shall have the right either to reimburse such amount at any time or to allow such amount to remain outstanding as a PF L/C Loan or Other PF L/C Loan, as the case may be, with an initial Interest Period coincident with the then-applicable Interest Period for the Credit-Linked Deposits or Other Credit-Linked Deposits, respectively, and the Adjusted LIBO Rate therefor shall be the same as the then-applicable LIBO Rate (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.23(l)(ii) for any Statutory Reserves) for the Credit-Linked Deposits or Other Credit-Linked Deposits, as the case may be. Thereafter, each such Loan shall be comprised either of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as the Borrower may elect in accordance with Section 2.10.
 
SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan or a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f) or Section 2.02(g), as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing (or two Business Days before a proposed Borrowing to occur on the Closing Date), and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information:  (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Term Borrowing, an Incremental Term Borrowing or a Revolving Credit Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed (which shall be an account that complies with the requirements of Section 2.02(c)); (iv) the amount of such
36

 Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.
 
SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (i) the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11, (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (iii) the then unpaid principal amount of each PF L/C Loan of such Lender on the PF Maturity Date and (iv) the then unpaid principal amount of each Other PF L/C Loan of such Lender on the Incremental PF Maturity Date. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
 
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
 
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.
 
(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.
 
(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at
37

all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.
 
SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a)The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Revolving Credit Commitment Fee”) equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment Fee Rate per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on the date on which the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Term Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Term Commitment Fee Rate per annum on the daily unused amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Delayed Draw Commitment Termination Date or the date on which the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For purposes of calculating the Revolving Credit Commitment Fees only, no portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed utilized as a result of outstanding Swingline Loans.
 
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).
 
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such Lender’s Revolving Facility Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate RF L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements in respect of RF Letters of Credit) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which all RF Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06, (ii) to each PF Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on each Interest Payment Date with respect to the Credit-Linked Deposits and on the date on which any Credit-Linked Deposit is terminated and the funds therein returned to such Lenders, a fee (a “PF L/C Commitment Fee”) calculated on such
38

Lender’s PF Pro Rata Percentage or Other PF Pro Rata Percentage, as the case may be, of the amounts on deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account during the Interest Period ending on such Interest Payment Date at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Credit-Linked Deposits, the sum of the Applicable Percentage from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Term Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 10 basis points or (y) in the case of Other Credit-Linked Deposits, the rate per annum provided therefor in the applicable Incremental PF L/C Assumption Agreement, and (iii) to the Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit the standard fronting, issuance and drawing fees specified from time to time by the Issuing Bank (the “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees, PF L/C Commitment Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For the avoidance of doubt, if amounts on deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account are used to reimburse the Issuing Bank during any period as contemplated by Section 2.02(g), then the PF L/C Commitment Fee in respect of such Interest Period will be payable only with respect to the amounts actually on deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account during such Interest Period. From and including the date of the deemed PF L/C Loan or Other PF L/C Loan, such Loan shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.06 or 2.07, as the case may be, and the Borrower shall be responsible to the Administrative Agent for any costs arising as a result thereof under Section 2.16.
 
(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.
 
SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.
 
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for each initial Interest Period for Borrowings of Eurodollar Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate in respect of the corresponding Interest Periods to which such Eurodollar Delayed Draw Term Loans are allocated as contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
 
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable
39

Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Loan Document, then, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent permitted by law, such defaulted amount shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (a) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Term Loan plus 2.00% per annum.
 
SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a)The Term Loan Commitments (other than (i) Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, which shall be reduced pro tanto by the making of Delayed Draw Term Loans and which shall terminate on the Delayed Draw Commitment Termination Date, and (ii) any Incremental Term Loan Commitments, which shall terminate as provided in the related Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement) shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Term Loans on the Closing Date. The Revolving Credit Commitments and the Swingline Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate on the earlier to occur of (x) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) the date 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all the Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 30, 2007, if the initial Credit Event shall not have occurred by such time. The PF L/C Commitments shall automatically terminate on the PF Maturity Date. Any Incremental PF L/C Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Incremental PF Maturity Date.
40

 
(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Term Loan Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Swingline Commitment or the PF L/C Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Term Loan Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitments, the PF L/C Commitments or the Incremental PF L/C Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) each partial reduction of the Swingline Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $250,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, (iii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the time, (iv) the aggregate amount of the PF L/C Commitments shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of the outstanding PF L/C Loans and the PF L/C Exposure at any time and (v) the aggregate amount of the Incremental PF L/C Commitments shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of the outstanding Other PF L/C Loans and the Other PF L/C Exposure at any time.
 
(c) Each reduction in the Term Loan Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitments, the PF L/C Commitments or the Incremental PF L/C Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees or PF L/C Commitment Fees, as the case may be, on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction. In addition, in connection with any reduction or termination of the PF L/C Commitments or the Incremental PF L/C Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.09, the Administrative Agent shall return to the PF Lenders or the Incremental PF Lenders, respectively, from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, in accordance with their respective PF Pro Rata Percentages or Other PF Pro Rata Percentages, respectively, an amount equal to the amount of such reduction or termination.
 
SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not laterthan 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:
 
(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;
41

 
(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;
 
(iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;
 
(iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;
 
(v) any portion of a Borrowing that is maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing;
 
(vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing;
 
(vii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Eurodollar Term Borrowing that would end later than a Term Loan Repayment Date occurring on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Eurodollar Term Borrowings comprised of Term Loans or Other Term Loans, as applicable, with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such Term Loan Repayment Date and (B) the ABR Term Borrowings comprised of Term Loans or Other Term Loans, as applicable, would not be at least equal to the principal amount of Term Borrowings to be paid on such Term Loan Repayment Date; and
 
(viii) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such
42

 notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued into an ABR Borrowing.
 
SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Term Borrowings.(a) (1)The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the dates set forth below, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day (each such date being called a “Repayment Date”), a principal amount of the Term Loans other than Other Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13(h) and 2.24(e)) equal to the percentage set forth below for such date of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans) outstanding on the Delayed Draw Commitment Termination Date (after giving effect to any Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans) to be made on such date), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment:

(b) Optional prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans under Section 2.11 as designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent; if there is no designation by the Borrower, such prepayments will be applied pro rata against such installments. Optional prepayments of PF L/C Loans or Other PF L/C Loans made other than in connection with a corresponding reduction of the PF L/C Commitments or Incremental PF L/C Commitments, respectively, shall be made to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly remit the same to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account.
 
(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 (other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in

In the event of any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, then (i) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure after giving effect thereto and (ii) if the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to such reduction or termination, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or termination, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) and/or replace or cash collateralize outstanding RF Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. In the event of any termination of all the PF L/C Commitments or Incremental PF L/C Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding PF L/C Loans or Other PF L/C Loans, respectively, and replace all outstanding PF Letters of Credit or Other PF Letters of Credit, respectively, and/or deposit an amount equal to the PF L/C Exposure or Other PF L/C Exposure, respectively, in cash in a cash collateral account established with the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank.

Upon any replacement or cash collateralization of PF Letters of Credit or Other PF Letters of Credit as contemplated and to the extent required by the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall return to the PF Lenders or Incremental PF Lenders, as the case may be, from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account in accordance with their respective PF Pro Rata Percentages or Other PF Pro Rata Percentages, respectively, an amount equal to the amount of such reduction or termination.
 
(b) Not later than the third Business Day following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(h).
45

 
(c) In the event and on each occasion that an Equity Issuance occurs, the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the occurrence of such Equity Issuance, apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(h); provided, however, that (i) if the Senior Leverage Ratio as at the time of receipt is less than 3.75 to 1.0 but greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.0, such amount shall be reduced to 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds from the occurrence of such Equity Issuance, and (ii) if the Senior Leverage Ratio as at the time of receipt is less than 2.50 to 1.0, such amount shall be reduced to 25% of the Net Cash Proceeds from the occurrence of such Equity Issuance.
 
(d) No later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2008, and (ii) the date on which the financial statements with respect to such period are delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a), the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(h) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 75% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended; provided, however, that (i) if the Senior Leverage Ratio as at the end of such fiscal year was less than 2.75 to 1.0 but greater than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0, such amount shall be reduced to 50% of such Excess Cash Flow and (ii) if the Senior Leverage Ratio as at the end of such fiscal year was less than 2.0 to 1.0, such amount shall be reduced to 25% of such Excess Cash Flow.
 
(e) In the event that any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed of any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party (other than any cash proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness for money borrowed permitted pursuant to Section 6.01), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Loan Party or such subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(h).
 
(f) In the event that any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party shall receive any Extraordinary Receipt, the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Extraordinary Receipt, apply 100% of such Extraordinary Receipt to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(h); provided, however, that, if the Subsidiary receiving such Extraordinary Receipt is a Special Purpose Vehicle, the Borrower shall not be required to prepay Term Loans by the amount of such Extraordinary Receipt to the extent the terms of any Indebtedness of such Special Purpose Vehicle would prohibit the distribution by such Special Purpose Vehicle of the amount thereof to the Borrower.
 
(g) In the event that any PF Letter of Credit or Other PF Letter of Credit is issued pursuant to Section 2.23 for the purpose of securing the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s obligations with respect to workers’ compensation claims that were secured by Restricted Cash prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day
46

next following) the receipt by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of such Restricted Cash, apply an amount equal to 75% of the amount of such received Restricted Cash to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(h).
 
(h) All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be applied to prepay outstanding Term Loans of the Term Lenders that accept the same. Each Term Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.13, to decline all (but not a portion) of its pro rata share of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”). Any Declined Proceeds shall be offered to the Term Lenders not so declining such prepayment (with such Term Lenders having the right to decline any prepayment with Declined Proceeds at the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent). All such accepted prepayments shall be allocated pro rata between the Term Loans and the Other Term Loans and applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans and the Other Term Loans under Sections 2.11(a)(i) and (ii), respectively. Any such mandatory prepayments that are rejected by the Term Lenders may be retained by the Borrower.
 
(i) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.13, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three days’ prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid; provided, however, that, if at the time of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.13 there shall be Term Borrowings of different Types or Eurodollar Term Borrowings with different Interest Periods, and if some but not all Term Lenders shall have accepted such mandatory prepayment, then the aggregate amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be allocated ratably to each outstanding Term Borrowing of the accepting Term Lenders. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.
 
SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender, any Credit-Linked Deposit or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or Credit-Linked Deposit or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining
47

a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case, by an amount deemed by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
 
(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time in accordance with paragraph (c) below the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
 
(c) A certificate of a Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.
 
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s, the Issuing Bank’s or the Administrative Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection
48

of this Section shall be available to each Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.
 
SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:
 
(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and
 
(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.
 
In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.
 
(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.
 
SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. Without duplication of the matters covered in Sections 2.14 and 2.20, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or
49

continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. In addition, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent against any loss or expense comparable to the losses or expenses covered by the preceding sentences of this Section 2.16 that the Administrative Agent may sustain or incur as a consequence of any withdrawal from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the end of the then-applicable Interest Period for the Credit-Linked Deposits. A certificate of any Lender or the Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts which such Lender or the Administrative Agent is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as provided below in this Section 2.17 with respect to Swingline Loans and as required under Section 2.13(h) or 2.15, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees and the PF L/C Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitments, the PF L/C Commitments or the Incremental PF L/C Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements, as applicable). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Swingline Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.
 
SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements and
50

accrued interest thereon as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and accrued interest thereon shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and accrued interest thereon of such other Lender, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of the principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
 
SECTION 2.19. Payments.(a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment (other than (i) Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank, and (ii) principal of and interest on Swingline Loans, which shall be paid directly to the Swingline Lender except as otherwise provided in Section 2.22(e)) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.
 
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.
 
(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower does not in fact make such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
51

Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, and to pay interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).
 
SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
 
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
 
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, unless such liability results from or is with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender or the Issuing Bank makes a claim hereunder if the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to such date knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to the claim hereunder or the fact that such circumstances would result in the claim hereunder. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the status and amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
52

return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
 
(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding or backup withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding or backup withholding.
 
(f) If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund (including by way of offset) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other person.
 
SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20 or (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or the Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv) above, all of its interests, rights and obligation with respect to the
53

Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (iv) above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or the Issuing Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or L/C Disbursements of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14 and 2.16); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14, notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or the Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21(a).
 
(b) If (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or the Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under
54

Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.
 
SECTION 2.22. Swingline Loans. (a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Swingline Lender agrees to make loans to the Borrower at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans exceeding $10,000,000 in the aggregate or (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Swingline Loan shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000. The Swingline Commitment may be terminated or reduced from time to time as provided herein. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.
 
(b) Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall notify the Swingline Lender by fax, or by telephone (promptly confirmed by fax), not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Such notice shall be delivered on a Business Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such Swingline Loan and the wire transfer instructions for the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of the Swingline Loan should be disbursed. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan by wire transfer to the account specified in such request.
 
(c) Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written, or fax notice) to the Swingline Lender before 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date of prepayment at the Swingline Lender’s address for notices specified in Section 9.01.
 
(d) Interest. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.06(a).
 
(e) Participations. The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Credit Lenders will participate. The Administrative Agent will, promptly upon receipt of such notice, give notice to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Revolving Facility Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
55

agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Facility Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other person on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower (or other person liable for obligations of the Borrower) of any default in the payment thereof.
 
SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit. (a) General. The Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit for its own account or for the account of any of the Subsidiaries (in which case the Borrower and such Subsidiary shall be co-applicants with respect to such Letter of Credit), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time prior to the date that is 30 days prior to (i) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (in the case of RF Letters of Credit), (ii) the PF Maturity Date (in the case of PF Letters of Credit) or (iii) the Incremental PF Maturity Date (in the case of Other PF Letters of Credit). This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
 
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, whether such Letter of Credit shall be an RF Letter of Credit, a PF Letter of Credit or an Other PF Letter of Credit, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof,
56

whether such Letter of Credit (in the case of requests for a PF Letter of Credit or an Other PF Letter of Credit) is requested for the purpose of securing the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s obligations with respect to workers’ compensation claims that at the time of such request are secured by Restricted Cash, and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly (i) notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount and expiry date of each Letter of Credit issued by it and (ii) provide a copy of each such Letter of Credit (and any amendments, renewals or extensions thereof) to the Administrative Agent. An RF Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each such Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the RF L/C Exposure shall not exceed $15,000,000 and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. A PF Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each such PF Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the sum of the PF L/C Exposure and the outstanding PF L/C Loans shall not exceed the aggregate PF L/C Commitments and (ii) the aggregate PF L/C Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Credit-Linked Deposits. An Other PF Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Other PF Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the sum of the Other PF L/C Exposure and the outstanding Other PF L/C Loans shall not exceed the aggregate Incremental PF L/C Commitments in respect of Other Credit-Linked Deposits and (ii) the aggregate Other PF L/C Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Other Credit-Linked Deposits. If the Borrower shall fail to specify whether any requested Letter of Credit is to be an RF Letter of Credit, a PF Letter of Credit or an Other PF Letter of Credit, then the requested Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be first, an Other PF Letter of Credit and then a PF Letter of Credit, in each case unless the issuance thereof would not be permitted by the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, in which case it shall be deemed to be an RF Letter of Credit.
 
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to (i) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (in the case of RF Letters of Credit), (ii) the PF Maturity Date (in the case of PF Letters of Credit) and (iii) the Incremental PF Maturity Date (in the case of Other PF Letters of Credit), unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to (i) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (in the case of RF Letters of Credit), (ii) the PF Maturity Date (in the case of PF Letters of Credit) or (iii) the Incremental PF Maturity Date (in the case of Other PF Letters of Credit)) unless the Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days (or such longer period as may be specified in such
57

Letter of Credit) prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.
 
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, PF Lender or Incremental PF Lender, as the case may be, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Pro Rata Percentage or applicable PF Pro Rata Percentage, as applicable, of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, (i) each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement in respect of an RF Letter of Credit made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(f), in the case of RF Letters of Credit, and (ii) each PF Lender and Incremental PF Lender, if any, hereby absolutely and unconditionally authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay the Issuing Bank such Lender’s applicable PF Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower from the applicable Credit-Linked Deposits on deposit with the Administrative Agent in the applicable Credit-Linked Deposit Account forthwith on the date due as provided by Section 2.02(g). Each Revolving Credit Lender, each PF Lender and each Incremental PF Lender, if any, acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
 
(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, subject to Section 2.02(f) or 2.02(g), as applicable, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement on the same Business Day that the Borrower shall have received notice from the Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made, or, if the Borrower shall have received such notice later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day.
 
(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of:
 
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;
58

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;
 
(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;
 
(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
 
(v) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and
 
(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.
 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is further understood and agreed that the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) the Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms
59

thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuing Bank.
 
(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by fax, to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders, the PF Lenders or the Incremental PF Lenders, as the case may be, with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.
 
(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of the Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of (i) the date of payment by the Borrower or (ii) (x) in the case of an RF Letter of Credit, the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f), and (y) in the case of a PF Letter of Credit or Other PF Letter of Credit, the date of payment by the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.02(g), at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were an ABR Revolving Loan.
 
(i) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed at any time by the Borrower by notice to the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
60

 
(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall, on the Business Day it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding RF Letters of Credit) thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the RF L/C Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements in respect of RF Letters of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the RF L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding RF Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
 
(k) Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Lender.
 
(l) Credit-Linked Deposit Account. (i) On the Closing Date and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, each PF Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such PF Lender’s Credit-Linked Deposit. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to effectiveness of any Incremental PF L/C Assumption Agreement, each Incremental PF Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such Incremental PF Lender’s Credit-Linked Deposit or Other Credit-Linked Deposit, as required by the Incremental PF L/C Assumption Agreement. The Credit-Linked Deposits shall be held by the Administrative Agent in (or credited to) the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, and no person other than the Administrative Agent shall have a right of withdrawal from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or any other right or power with respect to the Credit-Linked Deposits. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the funding obligation of each PF Lender or Incremental PF
61

Lender in respect of its participation in PF Letters of Credit or Other PF Letters of Credit shall be satisfied in full upon the funding of its Credit-Linked Deposit or Other Credit-Linked Deposit, as the case may be.
 
(ii) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, each PF Lender and each Incremental PF Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that (x) each PF Lender or Incremental PF Lender, as the case may be, is funding its Credit-Linked Deposit or Other Credit-Linked Deposit to the Administrative Agent for application in the manner contemplated by Sections 2.02(g) and 2.23(d) and (y) the Administrative Agent may invest the Credit-Linked Deposits and Other Credit-Linked Deposits in such deposit accounts as may be determined from time to time by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to pay to each PF Lender or Incremental PF Lender, as the case may be, on each Interest Payment Date for the Credit-Linked Deposits and Other Credit-Linked Deposits, interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) on the amount of such PF Lender’s or Incremental PF Lender’s PF Pro Rata Percentage or Other PF Pro Rata Percentage, respectively, of the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits or Other Credit-Linked Deposits, respectively, during such Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period less 10 basis points. With respect to any Interest Period during which a PF L/C Loan or Other PF L/C Loan is deemed made, the Administrative Agent shall determine the amount of interest payable by the Borrower on such Loan for the portion of such Interest Period during which such Loan is outstanding pursuant to Section 2.02(h) and the amount of interest payable by the Administrative Agent on the Credit-Linked Deposits or Other Credit-Linked Deposits during such Interest Period, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In addition, if on any Interest Payment Date for the Credit-Linked Deposits or Other Credit-Linked Deposits the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period then ended would exceed the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period (as a result of the imposition of Statutory Reserves), then on such Interest Payment Date the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, for distribution to the Lenders in accordance with their PF Pro Rata Percentages or Other PF Pro Rata Percentages, as applicable, an amount equal to the additional interest that would have accrued on the Credit-Linked Deposits or Other Credit-Linked Deposits during such Interest Period had the Adjusted LIBO Rate been employed.
 
(iii) The Borrower shall have no right, title or interest in or to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or the Credit-Linked Deposits or Other Credit-Linked Deposits and no obligations with respect thereto other than as expressly provided in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the obligation to return the Credit-Linked Deposits and Other Credit-Linked Deposits to the PF Lenders and the Incremental PF Lenders is solely an obligation of the Administrative Agent.
 
SECTION 2.24. Incremental Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Term Loan Amount from one
62

or more Incremental Term Lenders, which may include any existing Lender; provided that each Incremental Term Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Term Loan Amount), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice), and (iii) whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are commitments to make additional Term Loans or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Term Loans (“Other Term Loans”).
 
(b) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental PF L/C Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Incremental PF L/C Amount from one or more Incremental PF Lenders, which may include any existing Lender; provided that each Incremental PF Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental PF L/C Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental PF L/C Amount), (ii) the date on which such Incremental PF L/C Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice) and (iii) whether such Incremental PF L/C Commitments are to be PF L/C Commitments or commitments to make credit-linked deposits with terms different from the Credit-Linked Deposits (“Other Credit-Linked Deposits”).
 
(c) The Borrower and each Incremental Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Commitment of such Incremental Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the Incremental Term Loans or Incremental PF L/C Commitments, as applicable, to be made thereunder; provided that, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (i) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans or Other PF L/C Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date and the PF Maturity Date, respectively, (ii) the average life to maturity of the Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the average life to maturity of the Term Loans, and (iii) if the initial yield on such Other Term Loans or Other Credit-Linked Deposits (as determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such Other Term Loans or the margin above the LIBO Rate used to calculate the commitment fee with respect to the Other Credit-Linked Deposits on deposit and (y) if, in the case of Other Term Loans, such Other Term Loans are initially made at a discount or, in the case of Other Term Loans and/or Other Credit-Linked Deposits, the Lenders making or depositing the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from the Borrower or any Subsidiary for doing so (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the Other Term Loans or Other Credit-Linked Deposits,
63

being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such Other Term Loans or Other Credit-Linked Deposits and (B) four) exceeds by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”) the Applicable Percentage then in effect for Eurodollar Term Loans, then the Applicable Percentage then in effect for Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Other Term Loans and/or the depositing of the Other Credit-Linked Deposits, for all purposes of this Agreement (including for purposes of determining the PF L/C Commitment Fee from time to time). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans or Incremental PF L/C Commitments, as applicable, evidenced thereby.
 
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.24 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)(ii) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, and (ii) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Incremental Term Lenders) legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02.
 
(e) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by requiring each outstanding Eurodollar Term Borrowing to be converted into an ABR Term Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Term Loan, or by allocating a portion of each Incremental Term Loan to each outstanding Eurodollar Term Borrowing on a pro rata basis. Any conversion of Eurodollar Term Loans to ABR Term Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.16. If any Incremental Term Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurodollar Term Borrowing, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.11(a)(i) required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans.
 
(f) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect
64

 to any Incremental PF L/C Commitment (other than an Incremental PF L/C Commitment in respect of Other Credit-Linked Deposits) pursuant to this Section 2.24, the outstanding PF L/C Loans (if any) and Credit-Linked Deposits are held by the PF Lenders in accordance with their new PF Pro Rata Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by taking any action comparable to the actions described in Section 2.24(e) above.

All payments due from the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.21, as of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or other labor contract applicable to persons employed by it at any Facility.

SECTION 3.23. Transaction Documents. The Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a complete and correct copy of the Merger Agreement (including all schedules, exhibits, amendments, supplements and modifications thereto).

SECTION 3.24. Healthcare Representations. (a) All Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE provider agreements, certificates of need, certifications, governmental licenses, permits, regulatory agreements or other material agreements and improvements, including certificates of operation, completion and occupancy, and state skilled-nursing facility or assisted-living facility licenses or other licenses required by healthcare Governmental Authorities for the legal use and occupancy of each Facility that are necessary to operate each Facility have been obtained and are in full force and effect, including approved provider status in any approved provider payor program in which any Facility participates, and a valid certificate of need or similar certificate and license from the applicable state department of health or equivalent (or any subdivision) or the state licensing agency, as applicable, for the licensed number of beds at such Facility (collectively, the “Healthcare Licenses”), except to the extent that the failure to obtain or maintain the same in full force and effect could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each applicable Subsidiary owns and/or possesses, and holds free from restrictions or conflicts with the rights of others, all such Healthcare Licenses in respect of each applicable Facility, and operates each applicable Facility in such a manner that the Healthcare Licenses shall remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that any such failure could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(b) To the knowledge of the Borrower, there are no proceedings or actions pending or contemplated to reduce the number of licensed or certified beds of any Facility, unless such actions have been taken at the request of the Borrower or a Subsidiary.
 
(c) The Borrower and the Subsidiaries (and the operation of each Facility) are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the laws, ordinances, statutes, regulations, orders, standards, policies, restrictions or rules of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the ownership, use, occupancy or operation of any Facility, including, (i) staffing requirements, (ii) health and fire safety codes, including quality and safety standards, (iii) accepted professional standards and principles that apply to professionals providing services at each Facility, (iv) Federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations or published interpretations or policies relating to the prevention of fraud and abuse, (v) insurance, reimbursement and cost reporting requirements, (vi) government payment program requirements and disclosure of ownership and related information requirements, (vii) requirements of applicable healthcare Governmental Authorities, including those relating to each Facility’s physical structure and environment, licensing, quality and adequacy of medical care, distributions of pharmaceuticals, rate setting, equipment, personnel, operating policies and services and fee splitting, (viii) Section 1128B(b) of the Social Security Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. Section 1320a-7(b) (Criminal Penalties Involving Medicare or State Health Care Programs), commonly referred to as the “Federal Anti-Kickback Statute”) and (ix) any other applicable laws, regulations or agreements for reimbursement for the type of care or services provided by the Borrower or the Subsidiaries with respect to each Facility. As used in this clause (c), “compliance in all material respects” means a level of compliance
72

that would keep the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (and the operation of each Facility in the ordinary course of business) free from any material proceedings or sanctions by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the operation of any Facility that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(d) The Borrower and each Subsidiary, as applicable, (i) is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements for participation in the Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE programs with respect to each Facility that currently participates in such programs, including the Medicaid and Medicare Patient and Program Protection Act of 1987, or if not currently in compliance has filed and is implementing or will timely file and implement a plan of correction to bring any such Facility in compliance, and (ii) has a current provider agreement under Title XVIII and/or XIX of the Social Security Act, which is in full force and effect.
 
(e) To the knowledge of the Borrower, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a target of, or participant in, any action, proceeding, suit, audit, investigation or sanction by any healthcare Governmental Authority or any other administrative or investigative body or entity or any other third party or any patient or resident (including whistleblower suits, or suits brought pursuant to federal or state false claims acts, and Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, state fraud or abuse laws) which may result, directly or indirectly or with the passage of time, in (i) the imposition of a fine, penalty, alternative, interim or final sanction, a lower rate certification, recoupment, recovery, suspension or discontinuance of all or part of reimbursement from any healthcare Governmental Authority, third-party payor, insurance carrier or private payor, or a lower reimbursement rate for services rendered to eligible patients, in each case that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) any other civil or criminal remedy, in the appointment of a receiver or manager, or in the modification, limitation, annulment, revocation, transfer, surrender, suspension or other impairment of a Healthcare License or affect the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s participation in the Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE or third-party payor program, as applicable, or any successor program thereto, nor to its knowledge has any such action, proceeding, suit, investigation proceeding or audit been threatened.
 
(f) There are no agreements with residents of any Facility, or with any other persons or organizations, which deviate in any material adverse respect from, or which conflict with, any Healthcare Requirements. To the knowledge of the Borrower, all resident records at each Facility, including patient and/or resident accounts records, are true, complete and correct in all material respects.
 
(g) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the performance thereunder by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any other party thereto, will, on the Closing Date, (i) adversely affect, in any material respect, the right of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to receive Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, insurance company, managed care company, or other third-party insurance payments or reimbursements or to receive private payor payments or reimbursements, (ii) materially reduce the Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, insurance company, managed care company, or other third-party insurance payments or

ARTICLE VIII
 
The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
 
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.
 
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.
 
Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
101

Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.
 
Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent may also 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. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
 
Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each 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 Agent.
 
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within
102

30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.
 
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender 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 also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender 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 or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and obligations of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20, 9.05 and 9.16, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).
 
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:  (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitments, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee, legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such
105

documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
 
(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance 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 interest owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
 
(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).
 
(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other persons in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 and subject to the obligations of Section 9.16 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant) and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under
106

 this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or person has an interest or releasing any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than in connection with the sale of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05) or all or substantially all of the Collateral). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless the Borrower is notified in writing of such participation and the participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.20(e) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender shall, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain at one of its offices a register substantially similar to the Register for the recordation of the names and addresses of its participants, and the amount and terms of its participations; provided that no Lender shall be required to disclose or share the information contained in such register with the Borrower or any other person, except as required by applicable law.
 
(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16.
 
(h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
 
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same
107

extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. Each Granting Lender shall, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain at one of its offices a register substantially similar to the Register for the recordation of the names and addresses of any SPC that has exercised an option to provide a Loan to the Borrower and the amount and terms of such Loan; provided that no Granting Lender shall be required to disclose or share the information contained in such register with the Borrower or any other person, except as required by applicable law.
 
(j) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
 
(k) In the event that any Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender or S&P, Moody’s and Thompson’s BankWatch (or InsuranceWatch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best’s Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings Service)) shall, after the date that any Lender becomes a Revolving Credit Lender, downgrade the long-term certificate deposit ratings of such Lender, and the resulting ratings shall be below BBB-, Baa3 and C (or BB, in the case of a Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the case of an insurance company not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings Service)) (or, with respect to any Revolving Credit Lender that is not rated by any such ratings service or provider, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall have reasonably determined that there has occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition of any such Lender, or a material impairment of the ability of any such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, as compared to such condition or ability as of the date that any such Lender became a Revolving Credit Lender) then the Issuing Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the
108

restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above), and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above) all its interests, rights and obligations in respect of its Revolving Credit Commitment to such assignee; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) the Issuing Bank or such assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to such Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder.
 
SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.
 
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 (which shall provide the only source of indemnification for the matters covered therein), the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, the Issuing Bank and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facilities), (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
109

 
(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.05, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.
 
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
 
(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.
 
SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
 
SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN
110

SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
 
SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment.(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17, the provisions of Section 9.04(j) or the provisions of this Section 9.08 or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors (other than in connection with the sale of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05) or all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of  Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class, (v) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(i) without the written consent of such SPC, (vi) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional
111

extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Credit Commitments on the date hereof) or (vii) modify, amend or waive any conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01, or any representation and warranty, covenant or Default to the extent the modification, amendment or waiver thereof would constitute a waiver of a condition precedent set forth in Section 4.01, without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender.
 
SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or participation in such L/C Disbursement under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
 
SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
 
SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
112

REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.
 
SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
 
SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
 
SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
 
SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
113

 
(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
 
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
 
SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, 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 or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower or (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16. For the purposes of this Section 9.16, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower and related to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.16 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 its own confidential information.
 
SECTION 9.17. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such
114

Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
