SECTION 2.    LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

(a)        Revolving Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment under the applicable Class or (ii) the

33

Revolving Exposure of such Class exceeding the total Revolving Commitments of such Class. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. All Revolving Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the applicable Revolving Loans and the applicable Revolving Commitments shall be paid in full no later than the applicable Revolving Facility Maturity Date.

(b)        Borrowing Mechanics for Revolving Loans.

(ii)    Whenever Borrower desires that Lenders make Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully executed and delivered Borrowing Notice no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Credit Date (or such shorter time as is agreed to by the Administrative Agent hereunder) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, and at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the proposed Credit Date (or such shorter time as is agreed to by the Administrative Agent hereunder) in the case of a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Borrowing Notice for a Revolving Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith.

(iii)    Notice of receipt of each Borrowing Notice in respect of Revolving Loans, together with the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, if any, together with the applicable interest rate, shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to each applicable Lender by facsimile with reasonable promptness, but (provided the Administrative Agent shall have received such notice by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time)) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) and, in any event, no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same day as the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Borrowing Notice from the Borrower.

(iv)    Each Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Credit Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the Principal Office designated by the Administrative Agent.

2.2      Swing Line Loans.

(a)        Swing Line Loans Commitments. Prior to the expiration of the Availability Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender hereby agrees to make Swing Line Loans to the Borrower in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that after giving effect to the making of any Swing Line Loan, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Amounts

34

borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.2 may be repaid and reborrowed prior to the expiration of the Availability Period. Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall expire upon the expiration of the Availability Period and all Swing Line Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line Loans and the Revolving Commitments shall be paid in full no later than such date.

(b)        Borrowing Mechanics for Swing Line Loans.

(i)    Swing Line Loans shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii)    Whenever the Borrower desires that Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Notice no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed Credit Date.

(iii)    Swing Line Lender shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Credit Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office. Except as provided herein, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loans available to the Borrower on the applicable Credit Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Swing Line Loans received by the Administrative Agent from Swing Line Lender to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office, or to such other account as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(iv)    With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been voluntarily prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10, Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the proposed Credit Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Notice given by the Borrower) requesting that each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to Borrower on such Credit Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which Swing Line Lender requests Lenders to prepay. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders other than Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by the Administrative Agent to Swing Line Lender (and not to the Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender to Borrower, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note of Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans to the Borrower and shall be due under the Revolving Loan Note issued by the Borrower to Swing Line Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Lenders, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the

35

Borrower from Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.13.

(v)    If for any reason Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(iv) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to Swing Line Lender in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans on or before the third Business Day after demand for payment thereof by Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans, and in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one (1) Business Day’s notice from Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall deliver to Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Principal Office of Swing Line Lender. In order to evidence such participation each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Swing Line Lender. In the event any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate, as applicable.

(vi)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to clause (iv) of this Section 2.2 and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Credit Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that Swing Line Lender believed in good faith that all conditions under Section 3.2 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, were satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made, or the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived by the Requisite Lenders prior to or at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were made; and (2) Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default or (B) at a time when any Fronting Exposure exists unless Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loan, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.

2.3        Issuance of Letters of Credit and Purchase of Participations Therein.

(a)        Letters of Credit. Prior to the expiration of the Availability Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the

36

Borrower for the purposes specified in the definitions of Commercial Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided (i) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars; (ii) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $250,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank; (iii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect; (iv) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect; (v) in no event shall any Standby Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) the expiration of the Availability Period (unless the Borrower agrees to cash collateralize or provide other credit support for such Standby Letter of Credit, in each case subject to arrangements that are reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank prior to such date) and (2) the date which is one (1) year from the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit; and (vi) in no event shall any Commercial Letter of Credit (x) have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) the expiration of the Availability Period (unless the Borrower agrees to cash collateralize or provide other credit support for such Standby Letter of Credit, in each case subject to arrangements that are reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank prior to such date) and (2) the date which is one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit or (y) be issued if such Commercial Letter of Credit is otherwise unacceptable to the Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion. The Issuing Bank may agree that a Standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one (1) year each, unless the Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any reason or for no reason for any such additional period; provided, that, in the event any Fronting Exposure exists, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage. On the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit will be deemed a Letter of Credit hereunder.

(b)        Notice of Issuance. Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Issuance Notice no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days (in the case of Standby Letters of Credit) or five (5) Business Days (in the case of Commercial Letters of Credit), or in each case such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Bank in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Issuance Notice shall specify (i) the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) whether the Letter of Credit is to be a Standby Letter of Credit or a Commercial Letter of Credit, (iii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit, (iv) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, (v) the name and address of the beneficiary, and (vi) either the verbatim text of the proposed Letter of Credit or the proposed terms and conditions thereof, including a precise description of any documents to be presented by the beneficiary which, if presented by the beneficiary prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, would require the Issuing Bank to make payment under the Letter of Credit; provided that the Issuing Bank, in its reasonable discretion, may require changes in the text of the proposed Letter of Credit or any such documents; and provided, further, that no Letter of Credit shall require payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder on the same business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the office of the Issuing Bank to which such draft is required to be presented is located) that such draft is presented if such presentation is made after 10:00 a.m. (in the time zone of such office of the Issuing Bank) on such business day. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, the Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance with Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.3(e). The Borrower shall notify the applicable Issuing Bank (and the Administrative Agent, if the Administrative Agent is not such Issuing Bank) prior to the issuance

37

of any Letter of Credit in the event that any of the matters to which the Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Issuance Notice is no longer true and correct as of the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to have recertified, as of the date of such issuance, as to the matters to which the Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Issuance Notice.

(c)        Responsibility of the Issuing Bank With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.3(c), the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against Issuing Bank for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank.

(d)        Reimbursement by the Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event the Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank on or before the second (2^nd) Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date such drawing is honored that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Borrowing Notice to the Administrative Agent requesting Lenders with Revolving Commitments to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided further, if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by the

38

Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.3(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender with a Revolving Commitment from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any such Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.3(d).

(e)        Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from the Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that the Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.3(d), the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitments. Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall make available to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of the Issuing Bank specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of the Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by the Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender with a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to the Issuing Bank on such business day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.3(e), the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three (3) Business Days at the rate customarily used by the Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.3(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender with a Revolving Commitment to recover from the Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section in the event that it is determined that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.3(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.3(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by the Issuing Bank from the Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Schedule 9.1 or at such other address as such Lender may request.

(f)        Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 2.3(e) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid

39

or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, in each case, that payment by the Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank under the circumstances in question.

(g)        Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of the Borrower under Section 9.2 or 9.3, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank or (2) the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act. This paragraph (g) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim, as those are addressed in Section 2.16.

2.4        Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a)        Pro Rata Shares. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including Section 9.23, all Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Revolving Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

(b)        Availability of Funds. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans for such Class of Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.4(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

40

2.5      Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a)        Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or the Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided, further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b)        Register. The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at the Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Revolving Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Revolving Commitments and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to each Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall 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; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or the Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan. The Borrower hereby designates Scotiabank to serve as the Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.5, and the Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent Scotiabank serves in such capacity, Scotiabank and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

(c)        Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 9.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.

2.6        Interest on Loans.

(a)        Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Class of Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i)    in the case of Revolving Loans, (1) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or (2) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii)    in the case of Swing Line Loans, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

41

(b)        The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan (except a Swing Line Loan which can be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans only), and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

(c)        In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than fifteen Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event the Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender.

(d)        Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.6(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(e)        Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan (i) with respect to Loans, shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such Interest Payment Date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iv) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans; provided, however, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date.

(f)        The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans made ratably by the Lenders with

42

Revolving Commitments, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans made ratably by the Revolving Lenders.

(g)        Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.6(f) shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.6(f), the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by the Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which the Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event the Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.3(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s share of any interest received by the Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by Lenders for the period from the date on which the Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by the Borrower.

2.7        Conversion/Continuation.

(a)        Subject to Section 2.14, the Borrower shall have the option:

(i)    to convert at any time all or any part of any Revolving Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000; provided a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.14 in connection with any such conversion; or

(ii)    upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(b)      The Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). A Conversion/Continuation Notice shall specify (i) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount and Type of Loan to be converted/continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed conversion/continuation, (iv) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the requested Interest Period, and (v) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, if the Requisite Lenders request in writing, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to the Borrower in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that the Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an Authorized Officer or other Person authorized to act on behalf of the

43

Borrower or for otherwise acting in good faith under this Section 2.7(b), and upon conversion or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice the Borrower shall have effected a conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.

2.8      Default Interest. The principal amount of all overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments thereon or any past due fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans that are Initial Revolving Loans); provided that, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for the applicable Base Rate Loan. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.8 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

2.9      Fees.

(a)        The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (in each case, pro rata according to the respective Commitments of all such Lenders and, in the case of any Defaulting Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(a)(iii)) having Revolving Exposure:

(i)    commitment fees for each day from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Facility Maturity Date equal to (A) the average of the daily difference between (1) the Revolving Commitments and (2) the aggregate principal amount of (x) all outstanding Revolving Loans plus (y) the Letter of Credit Usage, times (B) the Commitment Fee Rate; and

(ii)    for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the termination date of such Letter of Credit, letter of credit fees equal to (A) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans, times (B) the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all such Letters of Credit (regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be met and determined as of the close of business on any date of determination).

(b)        The Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, the following fees:

(i)    a fronting fee, for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the termination date of such Letter of Credit, computed at the rate for each day equal to 0.125% per annum on the average daily face value of such Letter of Credit; and

44

(ii)    such customary documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment, transfer or payment of a Letter of Credit as are in accordance with Issuing Bank’s standard schedule for such charges and as in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

(c)        All fees referred to in Section 2.9(a) and 2.9(b)(i) shall be payable calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1 of each year during the Availability Period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date.

(d)        The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an annual administrative fee in the amount and at the times set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter.

2.10      Voluntary Prepayments/Commitment Reductions and Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)        Voluntary Prepayments.

(i)      Any time and from time to time:

(1)      with respect to Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount;

(2)      with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; and

(3)      with respect to Swing Line Loans, Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000, and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii)      All such prepayments shall be made without premium or penalty:

(1)      upon not less than one (1) Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Base Rate Loans;

(2)      upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans; and

(3)      upon written or telephonic notice on the date of prepayment, in the case of Swing Line Loans.

in each case, given to the Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original notice by facsimile or other written transmission or telephone to each Lender) or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein, unless such notice is in connection with a refinancing of the Loans or other transaction in which case such notice

45

may be conditioned on consummation of such refinancing or other transaction. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.11(a).

(b)        Voluntary Commitment Reductions.

(i)    The Borrower may, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such written or telephonic notice by facsimile or other written transmission or telephone to each applicable Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided any such partial reduction of such Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii)    The Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof (unless such notice is in connection with a refinancing of the Loans or other transaction in which case such notice may be conditioned on consummation of such refinancing or other transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may elect to reduce or terminate any Class of Revolving Commitments (and prepay Revolving Exposure associated therewith) without reducing or terminating Revolving Commitments of any other Class.

(c)        Mandatory Prepayments of Revolving Loans and Swing Loans. The Borrower shall from time to time prepay, first, the Swing Line Loans, and, second, the Revolving Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect

2.11      Application of Prepayments/Reductions.

(a)        Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans. Any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be applied as specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment.

(b)        Application of Mandatory Prepayments by Type of Loans. Any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.10(c) shall be applied as follows:

(i)    first, to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof;

(ii)    second, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof;

(iii)    third, to prepay outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit; and

(iv)    fourth, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit.

(c)        Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Considering each Class of Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be

46

applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case, in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(c).

2.12      General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a)        All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by the Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b)        All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.

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

(d)        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(e)        Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” as they may apply to Revolving Loans, whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to Revolving Loans only, such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder.

(f)        The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to the Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose); provided that with respect to fees and expenses, the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Borrower an invoice setting forth the amounts due in reasonable detail, and the Borrower has not paid such amounts within three (3) Business Days.

(g)        The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment, in which case, any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 7.1. Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a

47

non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.8 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

2.13        Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in any payment or disbursement made by the Issuing Bank pursuant to a Letter of Credit to any assignee or participant in any drawing under a Letter of Credit. The Borrower consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

2.14        Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a)        Determining Applicable Interest Rate.

(i)    As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender.

48

(ii)    [Reserved].

(b)        Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the Closing Date which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit such notice to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Borrowing Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Borrowing Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.14(c), to rescind such Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.14(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c)        Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any amount under this Section 2.14(c) if the event (or change in law or regulation or other action) giving

49

rise to such loss, expense or liability occurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date such Lender submits the statement referred to in the preceding sentence.

(d)        [Reserved].

(e)        Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(f)        Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.14 and under Section 2.15 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.14 and under Section 2.15.

(g)        Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including Section 9.05) or in any other Credit Document:

(i)    Replacing USD LIBOR. On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of USD LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12- month USD LIBOR tenor settings. On the earlier of (i) the date that all Available Tenors of USD LIBOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (ii) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark is USD LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

(ii)    Replacing Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued

50

that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

(iii)    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(iv)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.14(g), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14(g).

(v)    Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

(vi)    Disclaimer. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or any alternative, comparable or successor rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, comparable or successor rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, such Benchmark or any other Benchmark, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

2.15      Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)        Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (which term shall include the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.15(a)) shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (a) the adoption or taking effect of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order

51

after the Closing Date, (b) any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case, that becomes effective after the Closing Date, or (c) compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the Closing Date by any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or the Administrative Agent to any additional Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes that are indemnified under Section 2.16, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine in good faith) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail, and determined in good faith, the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 0, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any amount under this clause (a) of Section 2.15 if the Change in Law giving rise to such amount occurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date such Lender submits the statement referred to in the preceding sentence.

(b)        Capital Adequacy Adjustment. If, after the Closing Date, any Change in Law, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (which for the purposes of this Section 2.15(b) shall include any Issuing Bank) or its holding company’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Commitments or Letters of Credit, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, promptly after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for such reduction. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.15(b), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any amount under this Section 2.15(b) if the Change in Law giving rise to such change in rate of return occurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date such Lender submits the statement referred to in the preceding sentence. This Section 2.15(b) shall not apply to reductions attributable to Taxes.

52

2.16        Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a)        Payments to Be Free and Clear. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16(a)) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)        Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of the receipt or other evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

(c)        Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable law any Other Taxes.

(d)        Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)        Status of Lenders.

(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse of time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documents required below in clause (e)(ii) of this Section 2.16) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including

53

any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16(e)(ii)(1), (e)(ii)(2) and (e)(ii)(4) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(1)      each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) executed copies of the IRS Form W-9, certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(2)        each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

A.      executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

B.      executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

C.      in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1, Exhibit G-2, Exhibit G-3 or Exhibit G-4, as appropriate, to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(e)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

D.      to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-4, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(3)      any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall

54

be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(4)      If a payment made to any Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(e)(ii)(4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

(f)        Treatment of Certain Refunds. If a Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund that it determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, is in respect of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.16(a) it shall within thirty (30) days from the date of such receipt pay over the amount of such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such refund) net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalty, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund. This Section 2.16(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g)      Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

(h)      Issuing Banks and Swing Line Lenders. The term “Lender” for purposes of this Section 2.16, shall include the Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender.

2.17        Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.17) agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans

55

or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender; provided such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.17 unless the Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a direct result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agree that it will not request compensation under Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 unless such Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation from borrowers under other lending arrangements with such Lender or Issuing Bank who are similarly situated.

2.18        Defaulting Lenders.

(a)        Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Requisite Lenders.”

(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, following an Event of Default or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder, third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Bank, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank hereunder, fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, fifth, if so determined by the

56

Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement, sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)    Certain Fees.

(1)      No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(i) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(2)      Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit fees pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(ii) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its pro rata share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral.

(3)      With respect to any such commitment fee or letter of credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 9.25, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v)    Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, within three (3)

57

Business Days following the written request of the (i) Administrative Agent or (ii) Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure.

(b)        Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)        New Swing Line Loans / Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, and (ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

2.19      Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that: (a) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16; (b) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 9.5(b), the consent of the Requisite Lenders or a majority of the applicable class of Lenders or affected Lenders, as the case may be, shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender ”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased-Cost Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender and the Defaulting Lender shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from such Defaulting Lender; provided (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (a) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (b) an amount equal

58

to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (c) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.9; (2) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(c), 2.15 or 2.16; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender and such assignment (together with any other assignments pursuant to this Section 2.19 or otherwise) will result in the applicable amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent being approved; provided that the Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, the Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled or cash collateralized on terms reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

2.20        Incremental Revolving Commitments; Commitment Extensions.

(a)        The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Revolving Commitments (in the form of an increase in the aggregate principal amount of Initial Revolving Commitments) in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount at the time such Incremental Revolving Commitments are established from one or more Incremental Revolving Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Revolving Commitments in their own discretion; provided that each Incremental Revolving Lender providing a commitment to make revolving loans shall, to the extent the same would be required for an assignment under Section 9.6, be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and/or Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such Incremental Revolving Lender is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; provided, further, that:

(i)    Each such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum amount of $100,000,000, or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount or, in each case, such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent) and (ii) the date on which such Incremental Revolving Commitments are requested to become effective (each such date, an “Increased Amount Date”);

(ii)    The Borrower and each Incremental Revolving 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 Revolving Commitment of such Incremental Revolving Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Revolving Commitments; provided that the terms of each Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be the same as the Initial Revolving Commitments;

59

(iii)    there shall be no obligor in respect of any Incremental Revolving Commitments that is not the Borrower (unless such obligor becomes an obligor with respect to the Obligations substantially concurrently with the incurrence of the applicable Incremental Revolving Commitments);

(iv)    before and after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Increased Amount Date;

(v)    before and after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments, all representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such Increased Amount Date (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of said earlier date); provided that any such representations and warranties that are qualified by “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects; and

(vi)    the Administrative Agent shall have received customary legal opinions, resolutions and other customary closing certificates and documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in connection with such Incremental Revolving Commitments.

(b)        Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Revolving Loans in respect of Incremental Revolving Commitments, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the applicable Class of outstanding Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis. The Borrower agrees that Section 2.14(c) shall apply to any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing.

(c)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including Section 2.13 (which provisions shall not be applicable to clauses (c) through (e) of this Section 2.20), pursuant to offers made on up to two (2) occasions by the Borrower to all Lenders of any Class of Revolving Commitments, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility) and on the same terms (“Pro Rata Extension Offers”), the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Lenders from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class to a date that is three hundred sixty four (364) days after the Revolving Facility Maturity Date then in effect and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class pursuant to the terms of the relevant Pro Rata Extension Offer (including, without limitation, increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Loans). The reference to “on the same terms” in the preceding sentence shall mean that all of the Revolving Commitments of such Revolving Facility are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension are the same. Any such extension (an “Extension”) agreed to between the Borrower and any such Lender (an “Extending Lender”) will be established under this Agreement by an agreement extending an existing Revolving Commitment (such extended Revolving Commitment, an “Extended Revolving Commitment” and the revolving loans thereunder, “Extended Revolving Loans”) (an “Extension Agreement”).

(d)        The Borrower and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Extension Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative

60

Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extended Revolving Commitments of such Extending Lender. Each Extension Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Extended Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) the total of the Commitments and Loans of the Lenders of such Class that have agreed to so extend their Maturity Date shall be more than 50.0% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect and Loans outstanding of such Class immediately prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date then in effect, (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Extension, (iii) except as to interest rates, fees, any other pricing terms, participation in mandatory prepayments and commitment reductions and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), any Extended Revolving Commitment shall have (x) the same terms as an existing Class of Revolving Commitments or (y) have such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Loans shall be no earlier than the latest Revolving Facility Maturity Date in effect on the date of incurrence and (v) any Extended Revolving Commitments may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder. If provided in any Extension Agreement with respect to any Extended Revolving Commitments, and with the consent of the Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated to lenders holding such Extended Revolving Commitments in the manner specified in such Extension Agreement, including upon effectiveness of such Extended Revolving Commitment or upon or prior to the maturity date for any Class of Revolving Commitments.

(e)      Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending Lender’s Revolving Commitment will be automatically designated an Extended Revolving Commitment and, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.5(e). Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower without the consent of any other party hereto and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(f)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including without limitation this Section 2.20), (i) the aggregate amount of Extended Revolving Commitments will not be included in the calculation of the Incremental Amount, (ii) the Extended Revolving Commitments being requested shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum amount of $100,000,000, or, in each case, such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent, (iii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Revolving Commitment pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Revolving Commitment), (iv) there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Loan or Commitment at any time or from time to time other than as specified in clause (d)(x) above and notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Revolving Commitment implemented thereby, (v) all Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (vi) neither the Issuing Bank nor the Swing Line Lender shall be obligated to issue Letters of Credit or provide Swing Line Loans, as applicable, under such Extended Revolving Commitments unless it shall have consented thereto, and (vii) there shall be no obligor in respect of any such Extended Revolving Commitments other than the Borrower (unless such Person becomes an obligor with respect to the Obligations substantially concurrently therewith).

(g)      Each Extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the associated Pro Rata Extension Offer; provided that the Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments.

61

(h)        Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, (i) for the purpose of determining the number of Interest Periods with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the incurrence of any Incremental Revolving Loans, to the extent the last date of Interest Periods for multiple Eurodollar Rate Borrowings under the Revolving Facilities fall on the same day, such Eurodollar Rate Borrowings shall be considered a single Eurodollar Rate Borrowing and (ii) the initial Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing of Incremental Revolving Loans may, at the Borrower’s option, be of a duration of a number of Business Days that is less than one (1) month, and the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate with respect to such initial Interest Period shall be the same as the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate applicable to any then-outstanding Eurodollar Rate Borrowing as the Borrower may direct, so long as the last day of such initial Interest Period is the same as the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 4.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Lenders and the Issuing Bank to enter into this Agreement and to make each Credit Extension to be made thereby, the Borrower represents and warrants to each Lender and the Issuing Bank, on the Closing Date and on each Credit Date, that the following statements are true and correct:

The Borrower (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (b) has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to borrow and otherwise obtain credit hereunder and (c) is qualified to do business and in good standing in every jurisdiction where its assets are located and wherever necessary to carry out its business and operations, except in jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing has not had, and could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.2      Due Authorization. The execution and delivery of the Credit Documents and the performance of the obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Borrower.

4.3      No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not (a) violate (i) any provision of any law or any governmental rule or regulation applicable to the Borrower, (ii) any Organizational Documents of the Borrower, or (iii) any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on the Borrower, (b) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Contractual Obligation or (c) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Borrower, except for any such violations, conflicts, breaches, defaults, approvals or consents the failure of which to obtain will not have a Material Adverse Effect.

64

4.4      Governmental Approvals. Execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Credit Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any Governmental Authority, in each case, except (a) as set forth on Schedule 4.4 and (b) for any such registration, consent, approval, notice or other action approvals, consents, exemptions, authorizations or other actions, the failure of which to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.5      Enforceability. Each Credit Document has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and is the legally valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

4.6      Financial Statements. The Historical Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP (except as noted therein) and fairly present, in all material respects, (i) the consolidated financial position of the Borrower as of the respective date thereof and (ii) the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower for the periods covered thereby, subject, in the case of any such unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and normal year-end adjustments.

4.7      No Material Adverse Change. As of the Closing Date, since December 31, 2018, no event, circumstance or change has occurred that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.8      Litigation. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.8, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, hearings (whether administrative, judicial or otherwise) or governmental investigations, at law, in equity or before or by any Governmental Authority, whether pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any property of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, that, individually or in the aggregate, have had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect

4.9      Payment of Taxes. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 5.4, all material tax returns and reports of the Borrower required to be filed by it have been timely filed, and all material Taxes due and payable have been paid when due and payable, except any Taxes (x) the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower. The Borrower has not received written notification of any proposed material tax assessment against the Borrower or any of its properties, except any assessment that is being actively contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and/or for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP in the Borrower’s books and records.

65

4.10      Environmental Compliance. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Facilities or operations is subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Borrower’s knowledge, there are and have been, no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which would reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Borrower or any of the Material Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.11      Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

4.12      Margin Stock. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation U or Regulation X.

4.13      ERISA. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the IRS, any plan participant, or any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA (other than with respect to contributions in the ordinary course and the payment of benefits thereunder) has been or is reasonably expected to be incurred by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, other than an amount that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is not greater than an amount that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied materially with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

66

4.14      Solvency. As of the Closing Date, the Credit Parties are, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur on the Closing Date, Solvent

4.15      Disclosure. As of the Closing Date, all of the factual written information (other than Projections and pro forma financial information, forward looking information, information of a general economic or industry-specific nature, as to which no representation is made under this subsection) (the “Disclosures”), taken as a whole, furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (as such Disclosures may have been supplemented or otherwise updated) delivered to the Lenders does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make such statement or statements, taken as a whole, not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which statement or statements were made. The Projections that have been furnished by the Borrower to any Lenders or the Administrative Agent have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable as of the date when made (it being understood that (i) the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Borrower’s control, (ii) the Projections, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and no assurances are being given that the results reflected in the projections will be achieved and (iii) actual results may differ from the Projections and such differences may be material).

4.16      Compliance With Laws.

(a)      Neither the Borrower, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any director, officer, employee or agent thereof, is an individual or entity that is, a Sanctioned Person.

(b)      The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, their respective directors, officers, employees and agents are in compliance in all material respects with applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions, and the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has instituted and maintained (or has a parent company that institutes or maintains on its behalf) policies and procedures reasonably designed to promote and achieve compliance with such laws and Sanctions in all material respects.

4.17      Intellectual Property. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries own, license or possess the right to use, all of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses as currently conducted, without conflict with the rights of any other person, except to the extent such conflicts, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Borrower, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other person, except to the extent such infringements, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

67

SECTION 5.    AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

The Borrower covenants and agrees that, so long as any Commitment is in effect and until payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has yet been made) and cancellation, expiration, or cash collateralization (in accordance with the terms hereof) of all Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall perform, and, where applicable, shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to perform, all covenants in this Section 5.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts thereof.

(b)      Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Credit Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 9.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Borrower and/or other Credit Parties), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 9.5).

(c)      Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 8.3 and of Section 8.6 shall apply to any of the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and shall apply to their respective activities as Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 8.3 and of Section 8.6 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein.

82

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

8.5      Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

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

(b)      Each Lender, Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment Agreement and making available its Initial Revolving Commitment on the Closing Date, the effective date of the applicable Incremental Revolving Commitment and/or the effective date of the applicable Assignment Agreement, as applicable, and/or by the funding of any Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit, as applicable, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Lenders or any other Person on the Closing Date, the effective date of the applicable Incremental Revolving Commitment and/or the effective date of the applicable Assignment Agreement, and/or as of the date of funding of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

8.6      Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share at the time any claim therefor is made, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower (but without limiting or otherwise affecting the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents; provided no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful

83

misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided, further, that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

8.7      Successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and signed by the Requisite Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, the Requisite Lenders, with the reasonable consent of the Borrower, shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Borrower (during which five (5) Business Day period, the Borrower shall have the right to object to such appointment), to appoint a Lender as a successor Administrative Agent. If not objected to by the Borrower within such five (5) Business Day period, upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. Any resignation or removal of Scotiabank or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall also constitute the resignation or removal of Scotiabank or its successor as Swing Line Lender, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Swing Line Lender for all purposes hereunder. In such event, (a) the Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the retiring or removed Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, (b) upon such prepayment, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to the Borrower for cancellation, and (c) the Borrower shall issue, if so requested by successor Swing Line Lender, a new Swing Line Note to the successor Swing Line Lender, in the principal amount of the Swing Line Sublimit then in effect and with other appropriate insertions.

84

8.8      Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The agreements in this Section 8.8 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. The term “Lender” for purposes of this Section 8.8 shall include the Issuing Banks and Swing Line Lender.

9.1      Notices.

(a)      Notices Generally. Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, Swing Line Lender, the Lenders or the Documentation Agents, shall be sent to such Person’s address as set forth on Schedule 9.1 or in the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which a Lender becomes a party hereto or, in any case, as otherwise indicated to the other parties hereto by notice to the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a Person other than the Borrower, the Borrower) in writing. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 9.1(b) below, each notice hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally served or sent by facsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service and signed for against receipt thereof, upon receipt of facsimile (provided that if such personal service or facsimile communication is not received during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient), or three (3) Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided no notice to the Administrative Agent shall be effective until received by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, any such notice or other communication shall at the request of Administrative Agent be provided to any sub-agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.3(c) as designated by Administrative Agent from time to time.

(i)    Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites, including the Platform) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section 2 by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its

85

discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received when sent (or, if delivered outside of recipient’s customary business hours, at the opening of business on the next Business Day), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(ii)    The Borrower understands that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent.

(iii)    The Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Agents or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the “Agent Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and the approved electronic communications, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Agent or its Agent Affiliates. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects is made by the Agent Affiliates in connection with the Platform or the approved electronic communications.

(iv)    The Borrower, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Agent agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies.

9.2      Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay promptly (a) all the documented actual and reasonable costs and expenses of the Agents and Lenders incurred in connection with the preparation of the Credit Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto (limited to (i) one primary counsel for the Agents and Lenders as a group, (ii) one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for the Agents and Lenders as a group); (b) without duplication of clause (a) above, the documented, actual and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Agents in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of the Credit Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower (c) all other documented actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by each Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Credit Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and the transactions contemplated thereby; and (c) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, all documented costs and documented expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement, incurred by any Agent and Lenders in enforcing any Obligations or in collecting any payments due from any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Credit Documents by reason of such Default or

86

Event of Default or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.

9.3      Indemnity.

(a)      The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and Lender, their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons, members and successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, joint or several, to which any such Indemnitee may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any such Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates), and to reimburse each such Indemnitee upon demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnitee, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted (x) from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee (or of the affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons and members of such Indemnitee), or (y) from the material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnitees, except to the extent that local counsel (limited to one (1) separate firm of attorneys in each separate jurisdiction (which may be a single firm of attorneys acting in multiple jurisdictions) and/or a single firm of attorneys acting as special gaming counsel for all Indemnitees, in each case, in addition to regular counsel, are required in order to effectively defend against such action or proceeding and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, in each case, a separate firm of attorneys for each group of similarly situated such affected Indemnitees). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no party to this Agreement or Indemnitee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages in connection with its activities related to any of the foregoing; provided that the foregoing sentence shall not in any way limit or impair the Borrower’s obligations to indemnify any Indemnitee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.3 in connection with claims made by third-parties for indirect, punitive or consequential damages to the extent such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.3.

(b)      The Borrower shall be required to indemnify any Indemnitee for any amount paid or payable by any Indemnitee in the settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation with the Borrower’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Borrower’s indemnification obligation in respect of such action, proceeding or investigation herein (other than such settlement payments made without the Borrower’s consent) shall continue in full force and effect. Promptly after receipt by any Indemnitee of notice of its involvement in any action, proceeding or investigation, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Borrower under this Section 9.3, notify the Borrower in writing of such involvement. Failure by an Indemnitee to so notify the Borrower shall relieve the Borrower from the obligation to indemnify such Indemnitee under this Section 9.3 only to the extent that the Borrower suffers material prejudice to substantial rights and defenses as a result of such failure.

87

(c)      If any person is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.3 with respect to any action or proceeding brought by a third party, the Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee. Upon assumption by the Borrower of the defense of any such action or proceeding, such Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel, but the Borrower shall not be liable for any fees and legal expenses of other counsel or the fees or disbursements of other providers of professional services subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Borrower has agreed to pay such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, (ii) the Borrower failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in a timely manner, or (iii) such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between the Borrower and such Indemnitee or among Indemnitees, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnitees that are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower or other Indemnitees; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnitees, except to the extent that local counsel (limited to one (1) separate firm of attorneys in each separate jurisdiction (which may be a single firm of attorneys acting in multiple jurisdictions) and/or a single firm of attorneys acting as special gaming counsel for all Indemnitees, in each case, in addition to regular counsel, are required in order to effectively defend against such action or proceeding and, except in the case of clause (iii) above, a separate firm of attorneys for each group of similarly situated such affected Indemnitees. The Borrower shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by the Borrower in accordance with the foregoing without the prior written consent of each applicable Indemnitee unless such compromise or settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of each such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of each such Indemnitee.

9.4      Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person (other than the Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Lender hereunder, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or with any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not (A) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (B) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting

88

Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

(b)        Affected Lenders’ Consent. Without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) that would be directly and adversely affected thereby, no amendment, modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(i)    extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note;

(ii)    waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment);

(iii)    reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section 2.8) or the Commitment Fee Rate;

(viii)    increase any Revolving Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender; provided no amendment, modification

89

or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any Revolving Commitment of any Lender.

(c)        Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall:

(i)    amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision hereof relating to the Swing Line Sublimit or the Swing Line Loans without the consent of Swing Line Lender;

(d)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) in accordance with the terms hereof with the written consent of the Requisite Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to permit additional extensions of credit to be outstanding hereunder from time to time and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the holders of such extensions of credit in any determination of the requisite lenders required hereunder, including Requisite Lenders.

(f)        Execution of Amendments, etc. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

Agreement. Subject to Section 9.6(b) and Section 9.6(c), each Lender shall have the right at any time to (i) sell, assign or transfer to any Eligible Assignee, or (ii) sell participations to any Eligible Assignee or any other Person (and in the case of any other Person, with the prior written approval of the Borrower) in all or any part of its Commitments or any Loan or Loans made by it or its Letters of Credit or participations therein or any other interest herein or in any other Obligations owed to it; provided that no such sale, assignment, transfer or participation shall, without the consent of the Borrower, require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or apply to qualify such sale, assignment, transfer or participation under the securities laws of any state; provided, further, that, except as set forth in Section 9.6(i) with respect to assignments by Defaulting Lenders, no such sale, assignment or transfer described in clause (i) above shall be effective unless and until an Assignment Agreement, effecting such sale, assignment or transfer shall have been accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section 9.6(b); and provided, further, that no such sale, assignment, transfer or participation of any Letter of Credit or any participation therein may be made separately from a sale, assignment, transfer or participation of a corresponding interest in the Commitment and the Loans of the Lender effecting such sale, assignment, transfer or participation. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.6, no Lender shall, as between Borrower and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment or transfer of, or any granting of participations in, all or any part of its Commitments or the Loans, the Letters of Credit or participations therein, or the other Obligations owed to such Lender.

(b)        Register. Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.6(c) if applicable, and any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to tax withholding matters that such assignee may be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.16(f)), the Administrative Agent shall, if the Administrative Agent has consented to the assignment evidenced thereby (to the extent such consent is required pursuant to Section 9.6(c)), (A) accept such Assignment Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof as provided therein (which acceptance shall evidence any required consent of the Administrative Agent to such assignment), (b) record the information contained therein in the Register (on the same Business Day as it is received if received by 12:00 noon (New York City time) and on the following Business Day if received after such time) and (c) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this Section 9.6(b). The date of such execution of a counterpart or recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.”

(c)        Right to Assign. Each Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or participation therein, other Obligation or rights under this Agreement may in whole or in part (i) be assigned, in any amount to another Lender, or to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or another Lender, or may be pledged by a Lender in support of its obligations to such pledgee (without releasing the pledging Lender from any of its obligations hereunder) or (ii) be assigned in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount (A) if contemporaneous assignments approved by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion aggregating not less than $1,000,000 are being made by one or more Eligible Assignees which are Affiliates or (B) as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit and participations therein, and other obligations of the assigning Lender) to any Eligible Assignee, in each case, with the giving of notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that (x) the assignee shall represent that it has the financial resources to fulfill its commitments hereunder and such assignment is consented to by the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and, at any time other than when a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such assignee shall be acceptable to the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. To the extent of any such assignment in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations with respect to its Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or

91

participations therein, other Obligations or rights under this Agreement, or the portion thereof so assigned. The assignor or assignee to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,000 in respect of assignments other than assignments to or from any Arranger (it being understood only one such fee shall be payable in the case of concurrent assignments by a Lender to one or more Affiliates), and in each case such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.16(f).

(d)        Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date, as applicable, that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.6, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control) and (iv) it is not a Defaulting Lender.

(e)        Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9.6, as of the “Assignment Effective Date” (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 9.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Credit Documents such Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Revolving Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Revolving Commitment of such assignee and any Revolving Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder to the assigning Lender, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Revolving Commitments of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

(f)        Participations.

(i)    Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Eligible Assignee (or, with the consent of the Borrower, any other Person (other than the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates)) (each, a “Participant”) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation or rights under this Agreement.

��

92

(ii)    The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the expiration of the Availability Period) in which such Participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of such Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any Participant if the Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof) or (B) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(iii)    The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14(c), 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.6; provided that (x) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, and (y) a Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless it shall have complied with the requirements of Section 2.16 including, without limitation, Section 2.16(e); provided, further, that, except as specifically set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of this clause (g)(iii) of Section 9.6, nothing herein shall require any notice to the Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

(iv)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

(g)        Certain Other Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 9.6 any Lender may, without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or any central banking authority; provided that no Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge; and provided, further, that in no event shall the Federal Reserve Bank

93

be considered to be a Lender or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

(h)        Nevada Gaming Authorities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.6, the rights of the Lenders to make assignments of, and grant participations in, any or all of its Commitments or any Loan or Letter of Credit made or issued by it, or any interest therein, herein or in any other Obligations owed to any such Lender, shall be subject to the lawful orders of the Nevada Gaming Commission, to the extent required by the Nevada Gaming Laws.

(i)        In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment (or, in its sole discretion, the Borrower) shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Revolving Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.6(i), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

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

9.8      Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of the Borrower set forth in Sections 2.14(c), 2.15, 2.16, 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.13, 8.3(b) and 8.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination hereof.

9.9      No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other

94

Credit Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

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

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

9.12      Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

9.13      APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

9.14      CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PERSON ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE PERSON AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 9.1; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PERSON IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE

95

PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST SUCH PERSON IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

9.15      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS AFFILIATES, ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 9.15 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

9.16      Confidentiality. Each Agent (which term shall for the purposes of this Section 9.16 include each Arranger), and each Lender (which term shall for the purposes of this Section 9.16 include the Issuing Bank) shall hold all non-public information regarding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their businesses obtained by such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature and (in the case of a Lender that is a bank) in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, it being understood and agreed by the Borrower that, in any event, each Agent and each Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender or Agent and to their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents,

96

advisors and trustees (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information on a confidential need-to-know basis in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 9.16, which shall, in any event, require click through or other affirmative action), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans or any participations therein or by any pledgee referred to in Section 9.6(g) or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations (provided that such assignees, transferees, participants, pledgees, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 9.16 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 9.16), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it; provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, and (iv) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

9.17      Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled

97

automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.

9.18      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., “.pdf” via email)), each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

9.19      [Reserved].

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

9.21      Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures (e.g., “.pdf” via email) or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

9.22      Gaming Authorities. The Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to cooperate with the Nevada Gaming Authorities or any other applicable gaming authority in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by any such Nevada Gaming Authority or other gaming authority relating to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, or the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Borrower authorizes each Agent, Issuing Bank and Lender to cooperate with the Nevada Gaming Authorities and such other gaming authorities as described above.

9.23      Certain Matters Affecting Lenders.

(a)        If (i) any Nevada Gaming Authority shall determine that any Lender does not meet suitability standards prescribed under the Nevada Gaming Laws or (ii) any other gaming authority with jurisdiction over the gaming business of the Borrower shall determine that any Lender does not meet its suitability standards (in any such case, a “Former Lender”), the Administrative Agent or the Borrower

98

shall have the right (but not the duty) to designate bank(s) or other financial institution(s) (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”), which may be any Lender or Lenders that agree to become a Substitute Lender and to assume the rights and obligations of the Former Lender, subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of evidence that such Substitute Lender is an Eligible Assignee. The Substitute Lender shall assume the rights and obligations of the Former Lender under this Agreement. The Borrower shall bear the costs and expenses of any Lender required by any Nevada Gaming Authority, or any other gaming authority with jurisdiction over the gaming business of the Borrower, to file an application for a finding of suitability in connection with the investigation of any application by the Borrower for a license to operate a gaming establishment or for any other approval required from the gaming authority.

(b)        Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.5 or Section 9.23(a), if any Lender becomes a Former Lender, and if the Administrative Agent or the Borrower fails to find a Substitute Lender pursuant to Section 9.23(a) within any time period specified by the appropriate gaming authority for the withdrawal of a Former Lender (the “Withdrawal Period”), the Borrower may prepay in full the outstanding principal amount of Loans made by, and terminate the Revolving Commitment of, such Former Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the earlier of (x) the date of payment or (y) the last day of any Withdrawal Period.

9.24      No Fiduciary Duties. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the extensions of credit provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (b) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each Agent and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other person; (c) none of the Agents nor any Lender has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document (irrespective of whether any Agent or any Lender has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Agents nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; (d) the Agents, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Agents nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (e) the Agents and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) and the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Borrower and its Affiliates each hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims

99

that it may have against the Agents and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.25      Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

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

9.26      Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFC. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)        In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws

100

of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
