If (1) the Administrative Agent and all Term A Lenders and Revolving Credit Lenders consent to the addition of such Domestic Subsidiary as a Term A Borrower under the Term A Facility and a Revolving Credit Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility and (2) the Administrative Agent and all Revolving Credit Lenders consent to the addition of such Foreign Subsidiary as a Revolving Credit Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility, in each case, such Subsidiary shall be required to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrower Joinder Agreement and shall take all action in connection therewith (a) if such Borrower is a Domestic Subsidiary, as would otherwise have been required to cause the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements and the requirements set forth in Section 6.11 to be satisfied as if such Subsidiary had been a Loan Party on the Restatement Date and (b) if such Borrower is a Foreign Subsidiary, as are deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent to provide that the Obligations of such additional Borrower be, to the extent permitted by law, guaranteed and secured on terms no less favorable than those contained in the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements and, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such Organization Documents, resolutions, certificates, legal opinions, lien searches and other information (including information to allow the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to comply with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act) and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Any Subsidiary that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 1.09 shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be a Revolving Credit Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility hereunder and/or a Term A Borrower under the Term A Facility hereunder, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.01(a) to the contrary, each Borrower Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders (but subject to the approval by the Lenders to the addition of such U.S. Borrower or the approval by the Revolving Credit Lenders to the addition of such Foreign Borrower), effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (which may take the form of amendments and restatements) as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 1.09, including, in the case of the addition of a Foreign Borrower, amendments limiting the amount available to be borrowed by such Foreign Borrower and any other Foreign Borrower organized in the same jurisdiction (it being understood that entities formed under the laws of different states, provinces or other localities of the same



	64

US-DOCS\70212156.13

country as that of a Borrower shall be considered to be of the same jurisdiction as such Foreign Subsidiary) to a specified U.S. Dollar Equivalent of any Alternative Currency, or to effect any other amendments that shall give effect to any conditions associated with the consent of the appropriate Lenders to the addition of such U.S. Borrower or Foreign Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, Domestic Subsidiaries of Holdings that become Borrowers pursuant to this Section 1.09 shall become Borrowers under both the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term A Facility, and Foreign Subsidiaries of Holdings that become Borrowers pursuant to this Section 1.09 shall become Borrowers solely under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Section 1.10 Timing of Payment or Performance. When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of Interest Period) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day.

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to another, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, Australian BBSR Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans shall be made upon the applicable Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by “pdf” or similar electronic format, in the form of either the Committed Loan Notice or the Conversion/Continuation Notice, as applicable (each, a “Notice”). Each such Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 10:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars to Base Rate Loans, (ii) 10:00 a.m. four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, or continuation of, Australian BBSR Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans, (iii) 10:00 a.m. four (4) Business Days (or five (5) Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Australian Dollars and Canadian Dollars) and (iv) 10:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, Australian BBSR Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and whole multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

If the applicable Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if such Borrower fails to give a timely Conversion/Continuation Notice, then the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans



	66

US-DOCS\70212156.13

shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the applicable Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as applicable, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage under the applicable Facility of the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, and, if no timely Conversion/Continuation Notice is provided by any Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of a Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than (x) 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, Australian BBSR Rate Loan or Canadian BA Rate Loan, (y) 12:00 p.m., in the case of any Base Rate Loan and (z) the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Revolving Credit Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Australian Dollars and Canadian Dollars), in each case, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.03, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by such Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing is given by any Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Borrower, then the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the applicable Borrower as provided above.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted and an Australian BBSR Rate Loan or Canadian BA Rate Loan may be continued, in each case, only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan, Australian BBSR Rate Loan or such Canadian BA Rate Loan, as applicable. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans, Australian BBSR Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower or Borrowers and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loan upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than fifteen (15) Interest Periods in effect at any one time.

(f) On the Third Restatement Date, after giving effect to the establishment of the Revolving Credit Commitments to be established on such date pursuant to the terms of the Third Amendment, (i) each of the existing Revolving Credit Lenders (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) shall assign to each of the Revolving Credit Lenders, and each of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall purchase



	67

US-DOCS\70212156.13

from each of the existing Revolving Credit Lenders (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Third Restatement Date (in each case together with a proportional interest under the Swedish Pledge Agreement (and any other Collateral Document governed by Swedish law)) as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Revolving Credit Commitments on the Third Restatement Date to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) each Revolving Credit Commitment established on the Third Restatement Date shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Revolving Credit Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Credit Loan and (iii) each Revolving Credit Lender providing such Revolving Credit Commitments shall become a Revolving Credit Lender with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment established on the Third Restatement Date and all matters relating thereto.

Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Revolving Credit Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and, accordingly, the Revolving Credit Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Third Restatement Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (unless the Revolving Credit Lenders and the L/C Issuer have consented to such later expiry date and the applicable Borrower has Cash Collateralized the applicable Letter of Credit in a manner acceptable to the L/C Issuer in its sole discretion).

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Third Restatement Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Third Restatement Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000; provided that such initial minimum amount shall not apply to any Existing Letter of Credit;

(G) the L/C Issuer does not as of the issuance date of such requested Letter of Credit issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency.

(iv) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.



	69

US-DOCS\70212156.13

(v) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article 9 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article 9 included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of a Revolving Credit Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the requesting Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the requesting Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from a Revolving Credit Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article 4 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for (A) in the case of a request for a Letter of Credit by a U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower, the joint and several account of the U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowers or (B) in the case of a request for a Letter of Credit by a Foreign Borrower, the joint and several account of the applicable Group of Foreign Borrowers, in each case, in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the



	70

US-DOCS\70212156.13

product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) In the case of standby Letters of Credit only, if a Revolving Credit Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a standby Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that, unless otherwise agreed to by the L/C Issuer, any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, no Revolving Credit Borrower shall be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of paragraph (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Credit Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.03 is not then satisfied and, in each such case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the requesting Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Revolving Credit Borrowers and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowers or the Foreign Borrowers, as applicable, shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless the L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in U.S. Dollars or in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in U.S. Dollars, the U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowers or the Foreign Borrowers, as applicable, shall have notified the L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowers or the Foreign Borrowers, as applicable, will reimburse the L/C Issuer in U.S. Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in U.S. Dollars of a drawing as of the applicable Revaluation Date under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the L/C Issuer shall notify the U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowers or the Foreign Borrowers, as applicable, of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day following the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in U.S. Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowers or the Foreign Borrowers, as applicable, shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing in the



	71

US-DOCS\70212156.13

applicable currency as provided in this Section 2.03(c). If the applicable Borrowers fail to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, in either (x) U.S. Dollars in the amount of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof or (y) such Alternative Currency (if such Alternative Currency is an Alternative Currency in which Revolving Credit Loans are available hereunder)) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowers or the Foreign Borrowers, as applicable, shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice).

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer, in U.S. Dollars at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer in U.S. Dollars.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Revolving Credit Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Credit Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than delivery by a Revolving Credit Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the



	72

US-DOCS\70212156.13

obligation of any Revolving Credit Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from a Revolving Credit Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Credit Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this paragraph (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The joint and several obligation of the U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowers or the Foreign Borrowers, as applicable, to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Revolving Credit Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or



	73

US-DOCS\70212156.13

any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to any Revolving Credit Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Revolving Credit Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

Each Revolving Credit Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will promptly notify the L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Credit Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and each Revolving Credit Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Each Revolving Credit Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any Revolving Credit Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Revolving Credit Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to a Revolving Credit



	74

US-DOCS\70212156.13

Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which are determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a 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.

(g) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the applicable Revolving Credit Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. (i) Each U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees and (ii) each Foreign Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Foreign Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, in each case, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, in U.S. Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each commercial, performance or standby Letter of Credit, as the case may be, equal to the Applicable Rate times the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided that any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06; provided that with respect to all Existing Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the most recent information provided with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03(l). Letter of Credit Fees shall be (A) due and payable on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (B) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. (i) Each U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees and (ii) each Foreign Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Foreign Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, in each case, to pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in U.S. Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of a U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower or a Foreign Borrower, as applicable, at a rate per annum of 0.125%, computed on the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October in respect of the most recently-ended



	75

US-DOCS\70212156.13

quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, (i) each U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees and (ii) each Foreign Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Foreign Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, in each case, to pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in U.S. Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(k) Additional L/C Issuers. Holdings may, at any time and from time to time, designate one or more additional Revolving Credit Lenders or Affiliates of Revolving Credit Lenders to act as a letter of credit issuer under the terms of this Agreement, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Revolving Credit Lender(s) or Affiliate thereof. Any Revolving Credit Lender or Affiliate thereof designated as a letter of credit issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03(k) shall be deemed to be the L/C Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Revolving Credit Lender, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “L/C Issuer” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Revolving Credit Lender in its capacity as L/C Issuer thereof, as the context may require.

(l) Reporting Requirements Regarding Existing Letters of Credit. Holdings and any issuer of an Existing Letter of Credit shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any amendment of, modification of, or drawing of such Existing Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, any increase, decrease, extension, renewal, or cancellation of such Existing Letter of Credit.

Section 2.04 Swing Line Loans. (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, shall make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowers in U.S. Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments at such time, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender at such time, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C obligations at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and (iii) the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the Swing Line Sublimit, and provided, further, that U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, U.S. Revolving Credit Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall



	76

US-DOCS\70212156.13

bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon any U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower’s irrevocable Swing Line Loan Notice and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by “pdf” or similar electronic format. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 and whole multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice from the Administrative Agent (who shall send such notice at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article 4 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the requesting Borrower by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with the instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Swing Line Lender by such U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the applicable U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.03. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the applicable U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to such Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.



	77

US-DOCS\70212156.13

(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.



	78

US-DOCS\70212156.13

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. Each U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

Section 2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional. (i) Any Borrower may, upon notice in the form of a Prepayment Notice delivered to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans borrowed by it in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such Prepayment Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (x) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans, Australian BBSR Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans, (y) four (4) Business Days (or five Business Days, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies (other than Australian Dollars and Canadian Dollars) and (z) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and Canadian BA Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such Prepayment Notice shall specify (i) the date and amount of such prepayment and (ii) the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans, Australian BBSR Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such Prepayment Notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility). If such notice is given by any Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any voluntary prepayment of a Loan pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(i) shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to each Lender holding Loans of the applicable Facility being prepaid.

(ii) Each U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower may, upon notice in the form of a Swing Line Loan Prepayment Notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans borrowed by it in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such Swing Line Loan Prepayment Notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000. Each such Swing Line Loan Prepayment Notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such Swing Line Loan Prepayment Notice is given by a U.S. Revolving Credit Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such Swing Line Loan Prepayment Notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(b) Mandatory.

If the Administrative Agent notifies Holdings at any time that the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings denominated in Alternative Currencies as of the applicable Revaluation Date exceeds an amount equal to 103% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect, then, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Revolving Credit Borrowers shall prepay Revolving Credit Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit (in an aggregate amount equal to 105% of the face amount thereof) in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Total Revolving Credit Outstandings denominated in Alternative Currencies as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect.

Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans.

Section 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Optional. The Revolving Credit Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Credit Facility or the Swing Line Sublimit or the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Swing Line Sublimit or the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five (5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Revolving Credit Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Revolving Credit Facility if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility hereunder, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (C) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments of Swing Line Loans hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit.

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit or Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.06.

	83

US-DOCS\70212156.13

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

Section 2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Section 2.03(h) and Section 2.03(i):

(a) Commitment Fee. The Revolving Credit Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee in U.S. Dollars equal to the Commitment Fee Rate times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments exceeds the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 4.03 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Third Restatement Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears.

(b) Administrative Agent Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the Administrative Agent Fee set forth in the Third Restatement Fee Letter and such other fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between Holdings and the Administrative Agent.

(c) Ticking Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to each Lender, for its own account, a ticking fee in an amount equal to 0.35% per annum (calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days) based on the aggregate amount of such Lender’s commitments with respect to the Facilities as described on the schedule of allocations delivered to Holdings by the Administrative Agent on August 16, 2016, such ticking fee to accrue commencing on January 2, 2017 through the date which is the earliest to occur of (a) June 30, 2017, (b) the Third Restatement Date, (c) the Outside Date (or similar term) (as defined in the Acquisition agreement) and (d) the termination of the Acquisition Agreement without the Acquisition being consummated (such earliest date, the “Ticking Fee Payment Date”), and such ticking fee shall be earned, due and payable in full by the Borrowers on the Ticking Fee Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no ticking fee will be payable to the extent the Acquisition Agreement is terminated without the Acquisition being consummated prior to January 2, 2017.

(d) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Arrangers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent for their own respective account fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in writing among such Persons. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Borrower shall be obligated to pay any amounts under this Section 2.09 to any Lender while such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year) or, in the case of interest in respect of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan



	84

US-DOCS\70212156.13

is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Holdings or for any other reason, Holdings, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by Holdings as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, Holdings shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(h) or 2.08(b) or under Article 8. The Borrowers’ obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Section 2.11 Evidence of Debt. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Credit Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Credit Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All payments to be made by any Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal and interest on Loans and L/C Obligations denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by any Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans and L/C



	85

US-DOCS\70212156.13

Obligations denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in U.S. Dollars in an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount due in such Alternative Currency as of the date of payment. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) 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, in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in U.S. Dollars, or after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent, in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, Australian BBSR Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower or Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable Borrower or Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the applicable Borrower or Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower or Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the



	86

US-DOCS\70212156.13

applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Appropriate Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Holdings with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in this Article 2, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article 4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term A Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under



	87

US-DOCS\70212156.13

the other Loan Documents at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect of the Facilities then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.15, or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Holdings or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall apply).

Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.14 Incremental Facilities.

(a) Holdings may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request (A) prior to the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Facility, an increase to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments (any such increase, the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”) and/or (B) prior to the Maturity Date of the Term A Facility, the establishment of one or more new term loan A commitments (the “Incremental Term Loan A Commitments”) by an amount not in excess of an aggregate amount equal to $500,000,000 after the Third Restatement Date (such amount, the “Incremental Capacity”) and not less than $25,000,000 individually. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which Holdings proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan A Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and (ii) the identity of each Lender or other Person, which must be an Eligible Assignee (each, an “Incremental Revolving Loan Lender” or “Incremental Term Loan A Lender”, as applicable) to whom Holdings proposes any portion of such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan A Commitments, as applicable, be allocated and the amounts of such allocations. Any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan A Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Revolving Commitment or an Incremental Term Loan A Commitment. Such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan A Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term

US-DOCS\70212156.13

(h) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or Section 11.01(a) to the contrary.

Section 2.15 Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the applicable Revolving Credit Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize of all L/C Obligations in an amount equal to 103% of the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the applicable Revolving Credit Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at a bank selected by the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.15(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the applicable Revolving Credit Borrowers or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.15 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.16 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that (x) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.15 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

Section 2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of Required Lenders, Required Revolving Credit Lenders, Required Incremental Term Loan A Lenders and Required Term A Lenders and, in addition, Defaulting Lenders shall not be permitted to vote with respect to any other amendment, modification, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 11.01 or otherwise direct the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof or of the other Loan Documents; provided that any amendment, modification, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as Holdings may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Holdings, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. 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 2.16



	92

US-DOCS\70212156.13

(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. A Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive a commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Holdings shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the Applicable Percentage of each Revolving Credit Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender in respect of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and/or Swing Line Loans, as applicable, shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility of that Revolving Credit Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender minus (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility of that Revolving Credit Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Holdings, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders (and shall pay to such other Lenders any break funding costs that such other Lenders may incur as a result of such purchase) 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 on a pro rata basis by the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages of the relevant Revolving Credit Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments (other than payments in respect of expense reimbursements and indemnification obligations) made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 11.27, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Revolving Credit Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Revolving Credit Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

US-DOCS\70212156.13

Section 2.17 Nature of Obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed by the various parties to this Agreement that:

(i) all U.S. Borrower Obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, all Revolving Credit Loans made to U.S. Borrowers, Term Loans made to U.S. Borrowers, Swing Line Loans, Letters of Credit issued for the account of any U.S. Borrower and all other U.S. Borrower Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each other Loan Document (including all fees, indemnities, taxes and other U.S. Borrower Obligations in connection therewith or in connection with the related Commitments) shall constitute the joint and several obligations of each of the U.S. Borrowers. In addition to the direct (and joint and several) obligations of the U.S. Borrowers with respect to U.S. Borrower Obligations as described above, all such U.S. Borrower Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the U.S. Obligations Guaranty, provided that the obligations of a U.S. Borrower with respect to the U.S. Borrower Obligations as described above shall not be limited by any provision of the U.S. Obligations Guaranty entered into by such U.S. Borrower; and

(ii) all Foreign Borrower Obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, all Revolving Credit Loans, Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Foreign Borrower and all other Foreign Borrower Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each other Loan Document (including all fees, indemnities, taxes and other Foreign Borrower Obligations in connection therewith or in connection with the related Commitments) shall constitute the joint and several obligations of each applicable Group of Foreign Borrowers. In addition to the direct (and joint and several) obligations of the Foreign Borrowers with respect to Foreign Borrower Obligations as described above, all such Foreign Borrower Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the Foreign Obligations Guaranty; provided, that the obligations of a Foreign Borrower with respect to the Foreign Borrower Obligations as described above shall not be limited by any provision of the Foreign Obligations Guaranty entered into by such Foreign Borrower.

(b) Independent Obligations. The obligations of each Borrower with respect to its Borrower Obligations are independent of the Obligations of each other Borrower or any Guarantor under its Guarantee of such Borrower Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Borrower, whether or not any other Borrower or any Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Borrower.

(c) Authorization. Each of the Borrowers authorizes the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Loan Documents:

(i) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any other Borrower or any Guarantor or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(ii) release or substitute any other Borrower, endorsers, Guarantors or other obligors;



	94

US-DOCS\70212156.13

(iii) settle or compromise any of the Borrower Obligations of any other Borrower or any other Loan Party, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to its creditors other than the Lenders;

(iv) apply any sums paid by any other Borrower or any other Person, howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of such other Borrower or other Person regardless of what liability or liabilities of such other Borrower or other Person remain unpaid; and /or

(v) consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise, by any other Borrower or any other Person.

(d) Reliance. It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Borrower Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall constitute the joint and several obligations of the respective Borrowers hereunder.

(e) Contribution; Subrogation. No Borrower shall exercise any rights of contribution or subrogation with respect to any other Borrower as a result of payments made by it hereunder, in each case unless and until (i) the Commitments and all Letters of Credit have been terminated and (ii) all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. To the extent that any Foreign Loan Party or any U.S. Loan Party shall be required to pay a portion of the Obligations which shall exceed the amount of loans, advances or other extensions of credit received by such Loan Party and all interest, costs, fees and expenses attributable to such loans, advances or other extensions of credit, then such Loan Party shall be reimbursed by the other Loan Parties for the amount of such excess, subject to the restrictions of the previous sentence. This Section 2.17(e) is intended only to define the relative rights of the Loan Parties, and nothing set forth in this Section 2.17(e) is intended or shall impair the obligations of each Loan Party to pay its Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof.

(f) Limitation of Exempted Entity Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (including provisions that may override any other provision), (i) except in the case of a U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor that is a U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor for so long as and to the extent provided under clause (a), (c) or (d) of the definition thereof, in no event shall an Exempted Entity guarantee or be deemed to have guaranteed or become liable or obligated on a joint and several basis or otherwise for any direct U.S. Obligation under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) no CFC Subsidiary or its Subsidiaries shall pledge its assets to secure a U.S. Obligation, and (iii) a Foreign Borrower shall be liable for and required to pay only Foreign Borrower Obligations and shall have no obligation (pursuant to an indemnity or otherwise) or payment requirement in respect of any U.S. Obligation. All provisions contained in any Loan Document shall be interpreted consistently with this Section 2.17(f) to the extent possible, and where such other provisions conflict with the provisions of this Section 2.17(f), the provisions of this Section 2.17(f) shall govern.

ARTICLE 3
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01 Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under



	95

US-DOCS\70212156.13

any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require the Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below, including both (x) United States federal backup withholding and (y) withholding taxes from any payment, then:

(i) (A) the Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Except to the extent already reflected in subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of Other Taxes.

(c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Except to the extent that an amount has been paid pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (b), the Loan Parties shall, and do hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) withheld or deducted by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent or payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by paragraph (ii) of this Section 3.01(c). Any demand for payment on account of Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall be supported by a certificate stating the amount of any Taxes so paid or payable and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate delivered to a Loan Party by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify:

(A) each Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against any Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C



	96

US-DOCS\70212156.13

Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy or similar deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to Holdings or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e)(ii); and

(B) the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, against (x) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority and (z) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register.

Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.01(c)(ii). The agreements in this Section 3.01(c)(ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the applicable Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) For purposes of this Section 3.01(e), the term “Lender” includes the L/C Issuer. Each Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the delivery, completion and execution of documentation and other requested information described in this subsection (i) (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, otherwise described in Section 3.01(e)(ii) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such delivery, completion or execution would subject the



	97

US-DOCS\70212156.13

Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, on or prior to the date on which a Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement with respect to a U.S. Borrower (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent), but only to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Holdings and the Administrative Agent executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by Holdings or the Administrative Agent as will enable Holdings or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall deliver to Holdings and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of such a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty,

(2) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(3) in the case of such a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each



	98

US-DOCS\70212156.13

such direct and indirect partner together with the executed originals of the applicable IRS Forms.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Third Restatement Date, Holdings and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(iv) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify Holdings and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction or if any form or certification it previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate or expires and (B) update any such form or certification or notify Holdings and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. At no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, related to the receipt of such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer be required to pay any amount to the Borrowers pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in a less favorable after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent,



	99

US-DOCS\70212156.13

such Lender or the L/C Issuer would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.

Section 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, the Australian BBSR Rate or the Canadian BA Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Australian BBSR Rate or the Canadian BA Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, U.S. Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans, Australian BBSR Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case, until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay such Eurodollar Rate Loans, Australian BBSR Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in U.S. Dollars, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans or (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans, Australian BBSR Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan, Australian BBSR Rate Loan or a Canadian BA Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) (i) deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or (iii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Australian BBSR Rate or Canadian BA Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Australian BBSR Rate Loan or Canadian BA Rate Loan, as applicable, or a market for Canadian bankers’ acceptances for the same Interest Period or otherwise does not exist for any reason at that time or (b) the Eurodollar Rate, Australian BBSR Rate or Canadian BA Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, Australian BBSR Rate Loan or Canadian BA Rate Loan, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, Australian BBSR Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans (or such other applicable Loans in an Alternative Currency) shall be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent



	100

US-DOCS\70212156.13

(upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, Australian BBSR Rate Loan or Canadian BA Rate Loans (or such other applicable Loan in an Alternative Currency) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in U.S. Dollars (in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a pending request for a continuation in an Alternative Currency as to which the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) of the first sentence of this paragraph, Holdings, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders may establish a mutually acceptable alternative interest rate that reflects the all-in-costs of funds to such Lenders for funding Loans in the applicable currency and amount, and with the same Interest Period as the Canadian BA Rate Loan or Australian BBSR Rate Loan (or such other applicable Loan in an Alternative Currency) being requested to be made or continued, as the case may be (the “Impacted Loans”) in which case such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (x) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this paragraph, (y) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans or (z) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or change interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and Holdings written notice thereof.

Section 3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans and Canadian BA Rate Loans. (a)Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any Tax (except for Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Tax described in clause (a)(ii) or clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Tax) on its loans, bankers’ acceptances, loan principal, letters of credit, commitment, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market, the Canadian interbank market or Australian interbank market or any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, Eurodollar Rate Loans, Australian BBSR Rate Loans or Canadian BA Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers will pay to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative



	101

US-DOCS\70212156.13

Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04 and delivered to Holdings shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Absent manifest error, the Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies Holdings of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans, Australian BBSR Rate Loans and Canadian BA Rate Loans. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurodollar liabilities”), Canadian Dollar loans, Australian Dollar loans, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan, Australian BBSR Rate Loan and/or Canadian BA Rate Loan, as the case may be, equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided Holdings shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.



	102

US-DOCS\70212156.13

Section 3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period;

(b) any failure by any Borrower to (x) prepay, borrow or continue any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or (y) convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower (in the case of a borrowing, for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan);

(c) any payment by any Borrower of the principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Loan or of any drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency in a different currency from the currency in which the applicable Revolving Credit Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated (except to the extent the L/C Issuer has required payment of any drawing under a Letter of Credit in U.S. Dollars pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)); or

(d) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, Australian BBSR Rate Loan or a Canadian BA Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13;

including any foreign exchange losses or loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan, each Australian BBSR Rate Loan or each Canadian BA Rate Loan, as applicable, made by it at the Eurodollar Rate, Australian BBSR Rate or the Canadian BA Rate, as applicable, for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London, Australian, Canadian or other offshore interbank market, as applicable, for the applicable currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan, Australian BBSR Rate Loan or Canadian BA Rate Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, as specified in this Section 3.05, delivered to Holdings shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.



	103

US-DOCS\70212156.13

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder, Holdings may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

Section 3.07 Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article 3 shall survive termination of this Agreement, the Aggregate Commitments, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 2.17, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the order specified in Article V of the U.S. Obligations Guaranty or Article V of the Foreign Obligations Guaranty, as applicable.

ARTICLE 9
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes of the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and no Borrower shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Bank of America shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank, potential Hedge Bank and potential Supply Chain Finance Bank) and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Bank of America to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding



	135

US-DOCS\70212156.13

and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, Bank of America, as “collateral agent”, and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 9 and Article 11 (including Section 11.04(c) as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto; provided that to the extent the L/C Issuer is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.01 solely in connection with its role as the L/C Issuer, only the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be required to indemnify the L/C Issuer in accordance with this Section 9.01.

Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its capacity as a Lender. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except (in the case of the Administrative Agent) discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until it shall



	136

US-DOCS\70212156.13

have received written notice from a Lender, the L/C Issuer or any Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.

No Agent or any of its Related Parties shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than, in the case of the Administrative Agent, to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.04 Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such 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 Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 9 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. No Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Holdings. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Holdings (provided that Holdings shall have no right of consultation if a Default then exists), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer appoint a successor to the retiring Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the retiring



	137

US-DOCS\70212156.13

Administrative Agent shall notify Holdings and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the retiring Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the retiring Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.06). The fees payable by any Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the applicable Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 9 and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by an entity serving as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall also constitute its resignation as the L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, if applicable. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, if applicable, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue Letters of Credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers or the Agents shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

Section 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relating to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due



	138

US-DOCS\70212156.13

and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), Section 2.09 and Section 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.

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

Section 9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. (a) Each Lender (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank, a potential Hedge Bank and potential Supply Chain Finance Bank) and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(i) to release any Lien to the extent securing the Obligations on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the Discharge of Obligations, (ii) that is sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or that constitutes a disposition of Receivables Program Assets permitted pursuant to Section 7.05(l) or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.01;

(ii) to release any Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Obligations under any Loan Document (i) upon the Discharge of Obligations or (ii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.01;

(iii) to release any Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Obligations under any Loan Document if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (unless such Person continues to guarantee the SpinCo Notes); and

(iv) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document, to the extent securing the Obligations, to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i).



	139

US-DOCS\70212156.13

(b) Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Collateral, or to release any Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case, as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Lien granted under the Loan Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

(c) At any time that a Loan Party desires that the Administrative Agent take any action to acknowledge or give effect to any release of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.10, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree) prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release describing the item of Collateral and the terms of the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a proposed form of release for execution by the Administrative Agent and a certificate signed by a principal executive officer of such Loan Party stating that the transaction is in compliance with the Loan Documents and as to such other matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. At any time that Holdings or a Loan Party desires that a Subsidiary of Holdings which has been released from the Foreign Obligations Guaranty or the U.S. Obligations Guaranty be released as provided in this Section 9.10, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a principal executive officer of Holdings and the respective Loan Party stating that the release of the respective Loan Party (and its Collateral) is permitted pursuant to this Section 9.10.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be in accordance with) this Section 9.10.

Section 9.11 Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements and Specified Supply Chain Agreements. No Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank or Supply Chain Finance Bank that obtains the benefits of the Collateral Documents or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 9 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements and Specified Supply Chain Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank or Supply Chain Finance Bank, as the case may be. Any such Lender (or Affiliate thereof) and the applicable Loan Party party to any such agreement each agrees to provide the Administrative Agent with the calculations of all such Obligations, if any, at such times as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. At any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each such Lender (or Affiliate thereof) agrees, at the request of the Administrative Agent, to promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the occurrence of such request) provide the Administrative Agent with a statement certifying the Other U.S. Collateral Amount and the Other Foreign Collateral Amount of such Lender (or Affiliate thereof) and to update such certification from time to time during the continuance of such Event of Default as reasonably

requested by the Administrative Agent. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Loan Document, each Secured Party shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent and to have agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Loan Document, each Secured Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and each other Loan Document may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Secured Parties and that no other Secured Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.01 Implementation of DAM. (a) On the DAM Exchange Date, (i) the Commitments shall automatically and without further act be terminated as provided in Article 8, (ii) the Lenders shall automatically and without further action (and without regard to the provisions of Section 11.06) be deemed to have exchanged interests in their respective Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Incremental Revolving Loans, such that in lieu of the interest of each Lender in each Term Loan, Revolving Credit Loan and Incremental Revolving Loan which it shall hold as of such date (including such Lender’s interest in the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Term Loan, Revolving Credit Loan or Incremental Revolving Loan, as applicable), such Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Incremental Revolving Loans, including the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Term Loan, Revolving Credit Loan and Incremental Revolving Loan, whether or not such Lender shall previously have held any interest therein, equal to such Lender’s DAM Percentage thereof and (iii) simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (ii) above, in the case of any DAM Dollar Lender that has prior to the date thereof notified the Administrative Agent and Holdings in writing that it has elected to have this clause (iii) apply to it, the interests in the Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans to be received by such DAM Dollar Lender in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into U.S. Dollars, determined using the Spot Rate calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to such DAM Dollar Lender in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in U.S. Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder; provided that such DAM Exchange will not affect the aggregate amount of the Obligations of any Borrower to any Lender under the Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby consents and agrees to the DAM Exchange and agrees that the DAM Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any Person that acquires a participation in its interests in any Term Loan, Revolving Credit Loan or Incremental Revolving Loan. Each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans, as applicable, to the Administrative Agent against delivery of new promissory notes evidencing its interests in the Revolving Credit Loans and Term A Loans after giving effect to the DAM Exchange.

(b) As a result of the DAM Exchange, upon and after the DAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations of the Borrowers with respect to the Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Incremental Revolving Loans, and each distribution made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Collateral Document in respect of such Obligations, shall be distributed in accordance with Article V of the U.S. Obligations Guaranty (after giving effect to the DAM Exchange). Any direct payment received by any such Lender upon or after the DAM Exchange Date, including by way of set-off, in respect of such Obligations shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.

Section 10.02 Letters of Credit. (a) In the event that on the DAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part or there are any Unreimbursed Amounts, each Revolving Credit Lender shall, before giving effect to the DAM Exchange, promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds and in the currencies in which Letters of Credit are denominated, an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit Facility (as notified to such Lender by the Administrative Agent), of such Letter of Credit’s undrawn face amount or (to the extent it has not already done so) such Letter of Credit’s Unreimbursed Amount (less any Cash Collateral held by the issuer of such Letter of Credit in respect thereof), as the case may be, together with interest thereon from the DAM Exchange Date to the date on which such amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at the rate that would be applicable at the time to a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount equal to such amount, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall establish a separate account or accounts for each Revolving Credit Lender (each, an “L/C Reserve Account”) for the amounts received with respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Administrative Agent shall deposit in each Revolving Credit Lender’s L/C Reserve Account the amount received from such Revolving Credit Lender as provided above. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each L/C Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited in each L/C Reserve Account shall be held in such L/C Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (e) below. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the L/C Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit Facility. The amounts held in each Revolving Credit Lender’s L/C Reserve Account shall be held as a reserve against the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, shall be the property of such Revolving Credit Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against any Loan Party and shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of the Borrowers to pay interest to such Revolving Credit Lender, it being agreed that the reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made thereunder, as provided in Section 2.03.

(b) In the event that after the DAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the L/C Issuer, withdraw from the L/C Reserve Account of each Revolving Credit Lender any amounts, up to the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such drawing, deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining on deposit and deliver such amounts to such L/C Issuer in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under Section 2.03 (but not of the Borrowers). In the event any Revolving Credit Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount to the Administrative Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 10.02, such L/C Issuer shall, in the event of a drawing thereunder, have a claim against such Revolving Credit Lender to the same extent as if such Revolving Credit Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Section 2.03(c), but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 10.01. Each other Revolving Credit Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Revolving Credit Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its Applicable Percentage of the defaulted amount.

(c) In the event that after the DAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the L/C Reserve Account of each Revolving Credit Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Revolving Credit Lender.

(d) With the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, any Revolving Credit Lender may withdraw the amount held in its L/C Reserve Account in respect of the undrawn



	142

US-DOCS\70212156.13

amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Revolving Credit Lender making such a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit, to pay over to Administrative Agent, for the account of such L/C Issuer on demand, its Applicable Percentage of such drawing.

(e) Pending the withdrawal by any Revolving Credit Lender of any amounts from its L/C Reserve Account as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such Revolving Credit Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in Cash Equivalents. Each Revolving Credit Lender that has not withdrawn the amounts in its L/C Reserve Account as provided in paragraph (d) above shall have the right, at intervals reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, to withdraw the earnings on investments so made by the Administrative Agent with amounts in its L/C Reserve Account and to retain such earnings for its own account.

Section 10.03 Net Payments Upon Implementation of DAM Exchange. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, as a direct result of the implementation of the DAM Exchange any Taxes are required by law to be deducted or withheld (other than a Tax on the overall net income or franchise Taxes (in lieu of a Tax on overall net income)) from amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Participant with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term A Facility, or any Incremental Facility under the Loan Documents or if the Administrative Agent or any Lender is otherwise required to pay any such Taxes, (i) the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Participant shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Participant (after payment of all such Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable under the Loan Documents at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and (ii) within thirty (30) days after paying any sum from which any deduction or withholding is required by law, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Tax that is required to be paid with respect to such deduction or withholding, the applicable Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to such Lender or Participant under this Section 10.03 (but, rather, shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to such Lender or Participant to the extent required by Section 3.01) if such Lender or Participant was prior to or on the DAM Exchange Date already a Lender or Participant with respect to such Borrower. To the extent that pursuant to the DAM Exchange, a Lender (or a Participant under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term A Facility, or any Incremental Facility, as applicable) becomes a Foreign Lender with respect to a particular Borrower and such Foreign Lender, in its good faith judgment, is eligible for an exemption from, or reduced rate of, withholding Taxes on payments made on such Loan interest received pursuant to the DAM Exchange, such Foreign Lender shall establish an exemption or reduction from such withholding Taxes as soon as practicable unless establishing such an exemption or reduction would be materially onerous for such Lender. To the extent a Borrower is obligated to make payments to a Lender (or a Participant under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term A Facility or any Incremental Facility, as applicable) that is a Foreign Lender as a result of the DAM Exchange, such Borrower shall not be required to increase any amounts payable under this Section 10.03 to such Foreign Lender or to indemnify such Foreign Lender to the extent of any withholding tax resulting from the failure by such Foreign Lender to establish an exemption or reduction from such withholding Taxes when such Foreign Lender was able to do so unless establishing such an exemption or reduction would be materially onerous for such Lender. If any Borrower fails to pay or cause to be paid any such Taxes that are required by law to be paid with respect to such deduction or withholding when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit or cause to be remitted to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Borrower shall indemnify the Agents, the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Term A Lenders, and the



	143

US-DOCS\70212156.13

Participants under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term A Facility or any Incremental Facility, as applicable, for any incremental Taxes, interest, costs or penalties that may become payable by the Agents, such Lenders or such Participants as a result of any such failure, provided that such Agent, Lender or Participant was not excluded from receiving an increased amount pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. This Section 10.03 shall not have any impact on the application of Section 3.01 to any payments to the extent Section 3.01 otherwise applies to such payments.

No such assignment shall be made (A) to Holdings or any of Holdings’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries, except as provided below in paragraph (vii) or (B) to a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 11.06, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender



	153

US-DOCS\70212156.13

thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.03 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 11.06.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing by each Borrower to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by Holdings and any Lender (with respect to such Lender’s entry) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or Holdings or any of Holdings’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer 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 a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section 11.06, each Loan Party agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 11.06. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (such agency being solely for tax purposes), maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating



	154

US-DOCS\70212156.13

to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Holdings’ prior written consent or except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 if Holdings is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender (provided that all forms required under Section 3.01(e) shall instead be delivered to the applicable Lender).

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time a Lender serving as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such Lender may, (i) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrowers and the other Lenders, resign as the L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as the Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, Holdings shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by Holdings to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the retiring entity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If any entity serving as L/C Issuer resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If the entity serving as Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (except that the parties agree to the extent permitted that they will not disclose information of the kind described by s275(1) of the PPSA except as permitted by any other provision of this clause or required by another law or regulation); provided that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer will, to the extent practicable, promptly provide Holdings with an opportunity to seek a protective order or other measure ensuring confidential treatment of the Information, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.07, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender (it being understood that Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and agree to keep such Information confidential) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Holdings or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.07 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries other than as a result of a breach of a confidentiality agreement or fiduciary duty of which the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender or the L/C Issuer has actual knowledge.

For purposes of this Section 11.07, “Information” means all information received from Holdings or any Subsidiary relating to Holdings or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses (including information regarding potential acquisitions or dispositions) other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or any Subsidiary; provided that in the case of information received from Holdings or any Subsidiary after the Original Closing Date such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Holdings or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.

Section 11.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional



	156

US-DOCS\70212156.13

or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; 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 2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting 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. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.08 are in addition to all other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have under applicable Law or otherwise. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify Holdings and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 11.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the unpaid principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude optional prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 11.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, the Original Closing Date Transaction, the Restatement Date Transactions, the Second Restatement Date Transactions, the Third Restatement Date Transactions, the financing of the Original Closing Date Transaction, the financing of the Restatement Date Transactions, the financing of the Second Restatement Date Transactions and the financing of the Third Restatement Date Transactions, and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the foregoing; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) the Second Amended and Restated Commitment Letter (Acco), dated as of January 13, 2012, from Barclays Bank PLC; Bank of America; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated; Bank of Montreal and SunTrust Bank to Holdings, (ii) the Second Amended and Restated Commitment Letter (SpinCo), dated as of January 13, 2012, from Barclays Bank PLC; Bank of America; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated; Bank of Montreal and SunTrust Bank to Holdings, (iii) the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter (Acco), dated as of January 13, 2012, from Barclays Bank PLC; Bank of America; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated; Bank of Montreal and SunTrust Bank to Holdings, (iv) the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter (SpinCo), dated as of January 13, 2012, from Barclays Bank PLC; Bank of America; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated; Bank of Montreal and SunTrust Bank to Holdings, (v) that certain Letter Agreement (Term Loan), dated as of the Original Effective Date, among Barclays Bank PLC; Bank



	157

US-DOCS\70212156.13

of America; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated; Bank of Montreal; SunTrust Bank and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. to Holdings, (vi) the provisions of the Restatement Engagement Letter that expressly survive pursuant to the terms set forth therein, (vii) the provisions of the Third Restatement Engagement Letter that expressly survive pursuant to the terms set forth therein and (viii) the Third Restatement Fee Letter.

Section 11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

Section 11.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 11.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender shall have not consented to any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders as contemplated by Section 11.01 and the consent of the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Credit Lenders, Required Term A Lenders, or Required Incremental Term Loan A Lenders, as applicable, has been obtained, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then Holdings may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) Holdings shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b)(iv);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the sum of (i) the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances and (ii) accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05);



	158

US-DOCS\70212156.13

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate or document any assignment of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 11.13.

Section 11.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. (a) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) THAT MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE IN ANY WAY HERETO OR THERETO OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE THEREOF OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(c) Waiver of Venue. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Syndication Agent are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Syndication Agent, on the other hand, (B) the Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Syndication Agent each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor the Syndication Agent has any obligation to any Borrower or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Syndication Agent and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor the Syndication Agent has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Syndication Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 11.17 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “delivery”, “execute”, “execution”, “signed”, “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document, any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and



	160

US-DOCS\70212156.13

consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on or similar to the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided further without limiting the foregoing, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

Section 11.18 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower and each Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and each Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower and each Guarantor in accordance with the Act. Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

Section 11.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of any Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss.

Section 11.20 Holdings as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Holdings as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes under this Agreement and each other Loan Document, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by the respective appointing Borrower that such appointment has been revoked. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Holdings (i) to provide the Administrative Agent with all notices with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) to take such action as Holdings deems appropriate on its behalf to exercise such other powers as are



	161

US-DOCS\70212156.13

reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. It is understood that the handling of the Collateral of the respective Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that the Lenders shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the consolidated group. To induce the Agents and the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender and hold each Agent and each Lender harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against any Agent or any Lender by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Collateral of the Borrowers as provided in this Agreement or (b) the Agents’ and the Lenders’ relying on any instructions of Holdings, or (c) any other action taken by the Agents or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except that the Borrowers will have no liability to any Lender or any Agent with respect to any such liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury to the extent the same has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, or willful misconduct or intentional breach in bad faith of their Obligations under the Loan Documents of such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be.

Section 11.21 Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. Each of the Loan Parties, in respect of itself, its Subsidiaries, its process agents, and its properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that such Loan Party, its Subsidiaries or any of its properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Loans or any Loan Document or any other liability or obligation of such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, such Loan Party, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States or elsewhere. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party further agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 11.21 shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes thereof.

Section 11.22 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any covenant hereunder, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant hereunder shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 11.23 Lenders as Perfection Agents. Solely for purposes of perfecting the Liens of each Lender with respect to any Deposit Account or Securities Account maintained by a Loan Party under the Control (as defined in Section 9-104 or Section 8-106 of the UCC, as applicable) of a Lender (or an Affiliate thereof), such Lender (or Affiliate thereof) agrees, subject to Section 9 of the UCC, to also hold Control over such Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts as gratuitous agent for the benefit of the other Lenders. No Lender (or Affiliate thereof) shall owe any fiduciary or other duty to any other Lender.
