Each Lender may agree, in its sole discretion, to make additional loans up to $50,000,000 principal amount for Acquisitions consented to by the Required Lenders that are complementary and accretive to the business of the Borrower, in one or more series or tranches, on mutually agreed terms, pursuant to an amendment hereto agreed by the Borrower, the Agent and all Lenders.
Section 3. Yield Protection.
3.1 Taxes.
(a) All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, property or franchise taxes or other taxes, fees, imposts, duties, levies, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholding) or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (“Taxes”), except as required by Applicable Law. If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith reasonable discretion of the Borrower or the Required Lenders), then the Borrower shall: (i) timely pay directly to the relevant taxing authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted in accordance with Applicable Law; (ii) as soon as practicable and within 30 days after the date of any such payment of Taxes, forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Required Lenders evidencing such payment to such relevant taxing authority; and (iii) in the case of Indemnified Taxes, pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Lenders will equal the full amount the Lenders would have received had no such withholding or deduction (including withholdings and deductions applicable to any additional sums payable under thisSection 3.1) been required.
(b) The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of each Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
29
(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Agent), the Agent and the Lenders for all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under thisSection 3.1) paid or payable by the Agent or the Lenders, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Agent or the Lenders, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including any penalty, interest or expense), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the Agent or any Lender (or of the Agent on behalf of any Lender) claiming any reimbursement or indemnification under thisclause (c), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(d) On or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, and from time to time thereafter as required by law or reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or the Agent, each Lender (including for this purpose any assignee of any Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement) shall (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so) provide the Borrower with such documents and forms as prescribed by the IRS in order to certify that payments to such Lender are exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender that is the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement will (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so) provide: (i) in the case of a beneficial owner that is U.S. person within the meaning of Section 7701 of the IRC, IRS FormW-9 certifying that such beneficial owner is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax, (ii) in the case of a beneficial owner claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, both (A) IRS FormW-8BEN or IRS FormW-8BEN-E, as applicable and (B) a certificate to the effect that such beneficial owner is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC, (iii) in the case of a beneficial owner that is not a U.S. person within the meaning of Section 7701 of the IRC claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, IRS FormW-8BEN or IRS FormW-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest,” “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; and (iv) in the case of a beneficial owner for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such beneficial owner’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS FormW-8ECI. Any Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement, such as an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so) provide (x) an IRS FormW-8IMY on behalf of itself and (y) on behalf of each such beneficial owner, the forms set forth inclauses (i) through(iv) of the preceding sentence that would be required of such beneficial owner if such beneficial owner were a Lender. If a payment made to any Lender under this Agreement 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, such Lender shall (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so) deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law or reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or the Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Agent to comply with
30
its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(e) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of allout-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Lender, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in thisclause (e), in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to thisclause (e) the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable netafter-Tax position than such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Thisclause (e) shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(f) The provisions of thisSection 3.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of all Obligations.
3.2 Increased Cost.
(a) If, after the Closing Date, the adoption or taking effect of, or any change in, any Applicable Law, rule, regulation or treaty, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any Applicable Law, rule, regulation or treaty by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender; (ii) shall subject such Lender or the Agent to any Taxes (other than Taxes described inclauses (b) and(c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, Taxes indemnified pursuant toSection 3.1 and Connection Income Taxes); or (iii) shall impose on such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender any other condition affecting any Loan, its Notes or its obligation to make any Loan; and the result of anything described inclauses (i) through(iii) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto, then, upon demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a
31
calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Agent) therefor, the Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or such reduction.
(b) If any Lender shall reasonably determine that any change in, or the adoption orphase-in of, any Applicable Law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy applicable to such Lender or any such Person (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such change, adoption,phase-in or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Applicable Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in thisSection 3.2, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender for any amounts in thisSection 3.2 (excluding Taxes described inSection 3.2(a)(ii)) incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender delivers the statement making the demand for such payment (except that, if the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the foregoing 180 day period shall be extended to include the retroactive effect thereof).
(d) All amounts payable under this Section 3.2 shall bear interest from the date that is 10 days after the date of demand by any Lender or the Agent (at the direction of the applicable Lender) until payment in full to such Lender at the rate applicable to the Loans then outstanding. A certificate of the Agent or any Lender (or of the Agent on behalf of the applicable Lender) claiming any compensation under thisSection 3.2, setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(e) The obligations of the Loan Parties under thisSection 3.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
32
3.3 Mitigation of Circumstances. Each Lender will use commercially reasonable efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s sole judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, any obligation by the Borrower to pay any amount pursuant toSection 3.1 or3.2; provided, that thisSection 3.3 shall not apply to, or operate to prevent, any assignment of the Loans and the rights and obligations of any Lender pursuant toSection 10.13. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by each Lender in connection with thisSection 3.3.
3.4 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival. Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant toSections 3.1 or3.2 shall be conclusive absent manifest error provided that such Lender or the Agent provides the Borrower with written notification of such determinations and statements. Each Lender may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation underSections 3.1 or3.2 and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes and termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent.

10.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and any prior arrangements made with respect to the payment by the Borrower of (or any indemnification for) any fees, costs or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred) by or on behalf of the Agent or the Lenders.
10.13 Successors and Assigns.
10.13.1 Successors and Assigns Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower, each other Loan Party party hereto, the Lenders and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each other Loan Party party hereto, the Lenders and the Agent and the successors and assigns of each Lender and the Agent. No other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The Borrower and each other Loan Party party hereto may not assign or transfer any of its rights or Obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent
87
and the Lenders. Each Lender may sell, transfer, or assign any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder pursuant to assignment documentation reasonably acceptable to such Lender, the Agent and such assignee; provided that, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall have the right to consent to any assignment by a Lender to any direct competitor of the Borrower identified onSchedule 10.13.1 (which schedule may be updated annually upon written notice by the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders). Such assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such assignment documentation, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder. The Agent (acting solely for this purpose as the agent of the Borrower) shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and its assignees, and the amounts of principal and interest owing to any of them hereunder from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and its assignees 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 and all references to each Lender in this Agreement shall include any such assignee of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in thisSection 10.13.1, Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to direct competitors of Borrower listed onSchedule 10.13.1 hereto.
10.13.2 Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent assignment and assumption documentation reasonably acceptable to the Agent, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided, however, that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee shall complete and deliver to the satisfaction of the Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form provided by the Agent.
10.13.3 Participations. Each Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which any Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. Each Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to the Borrower or any other Person (including the existence or identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement) except (i) to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loans or other obligations are in registered form underSection 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or its successor) or (ii) with respect to any Person whose interest in the Loans or other obligations is
88
treated as a participation by reason of the Agent not accepting and recording a proposed assignment in the Register. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each 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. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment underSection 2 hereof than the initial Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.

THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTION5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).
10.15 Forum Selection; Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE AGENT’S OPTION (AT THE DIRECTION OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS), IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND.

EACH LOAN PARTY, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY LENDING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
