The Administrative Agent shall not make any Agent Advance to the extent that at such time the amount of such Agent Advance, either (I) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the Borrower at such time, would exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or (II) which are incurred as Revolving Loans,

(New York City time) on the date specified in Section 2.01(c)), each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof and in the case of any Euro Denominated Loans or Sterling Denominated Loans, the Fronting Lender shall make available each applicable Revolving Participant’s pro rata portion of such Loan; provided that the Fronting Lender shall not be obligated to make available the pro rata portion of any Defaulting Lender’s Loan). All such amounts will be made available in Dollars (in the case of Dollar Denominated Loans), in Euros (in the case of Euro Denominated Loans) or in Sterling (in the case of Sterling Denominated Loans) and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

(b) Unless the Required Lenders have instructed the Administrative Agent to the contrary, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make Revolving Loans to the Borrower that are maintained as Base Rate Loans under Section 2.01 without prior notice of the proposed Borrowing to the Lenders as follows:

(i) The amount of each Lender’s RL Percentage of Revolving Loans shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans as of 5:00 P.M. (New York time) on the last Business Day of each week, or such other period specified by the Administrative Agent (but in any event no less frequently than weekly) (each such date, a “Settlement Date”). The Lenders shall transfer to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent shall transfer to the Lenders such amounts as are necessary so that (after

 

-46-

---

giving effect to all such transfers) the amount of Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s RL Percentage of the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If a notice from the Administrative Agent of any such necessary transfer is received by a Lender on or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on any Business Day, then such Lender shall make transfers described above in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on the day such notice was received; and if such notice is received by a Lender after 12:00 Noon (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make such transfers no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the next succeeding Business Day. The obligation of each of the Lenders to transfer such funds shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to, or without representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees and the Lenders agree to mark their respective books and records on each Settlement Date to show at all times the dollar amount of their respective RL Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Loans on such date.

(ii) To the extent that the settlement described in preceding clause (i) shall not yet have occurred with respect to any particular Settlement Date, upon any repayment of Revolving Loans by the Borrower prior to such settlement, the Administrative Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to the amounts that would otherwise be made available by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(b).

(iii) Because the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Revolving Loans prior to the time when the Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid Revolving Loans, interest with respect to Revolving Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent to each Lender and the Administrative Agent in accordance with the amount of Revolving Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Revolving Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Revolving Loans are either repaid by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or actually settled by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender as described in this Section 2.04(b).

2.05. Notes.

(a) If requested by any Lender, the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”) and indicating the applicable Revolving Loan Maturity Date with respect to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, and (ii) in the case of Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”).

(b) The Swingline Note issued to the Swingline Lender shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to the order of the Swingline Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Initial Borrowing Date, (iii) be in a stated principal amount (expressed in Dollars) equal to the Maximum Swingline Amount and be payable in Dollars in the principal amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Swingline Expiry Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 2.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans evidenced thereby,

 

-47-

---

(vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 5.01 and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 5.02 and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(c) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

2.06. Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day beginning three Business Days following the Initial Borrowing Date, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans (other than Swingline Loans which may not be converted pursuant to this Section 2.06) made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Loan, provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least (x) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, three Business Days’ prior notice and (y) in the case of conversions of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into Euro Rate Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

2.07. Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Revolving Loan Commitments as in effect at the time of such Borrowing, provided that all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their RL Percentages; provided, further, that in the case of any Euro Denominated Loans or Sterling Denominated Loans, the Fronting Lender shall make available each applicable Revolving Participant’s pro rata share of such Revolving Loan; provided that the Fronting Lender shall not be obligated to make available the pro rata portion of any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder. It is further understood that in determining the pro rata share of the Fronting Lender in its capacity as such with respect to any Borrowing, such pro rata share should be the sum of the pro rata share of such Borrowing of all Revolving Participants (other than any Revolving Participant that is a Defaulting Lender) on whose behalf the Fronting Lender is making available Loans included in such Borrowing.

2.08. Interest.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

(c) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Euro Denominated Loan made to it from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time plus Euro LIBOR for such Interest Period plus any Mandatory Costs.

(d) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Sterling Denominated Loan made to it from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time plus Sterling LIBOR for such Interest Period plus any Mandatory Costs.

(e) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of (1) in the case of overdue principal of, and interest or other overdue amounts owing with respect to, Euro Denominated Loans, equal to 2% per annum in excess of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time plus Euro LIBOR for such successive periods not exceeding three months as the Administrative Agent may determine from time to time in respect of amounts comparable to the amount not paid plus any Mandatory Costs, (2) in the case of overdue principal of, and interest or other amounts owing with respect to, Sterling Denominated Loans, equal to 2% per annum in excess of the Applicable Margin for Sterling Denominated Loans as in effect from time to time plus Sterling LIBOR for such successive periods not exceeding three months as the Administrative Agent may determine from time to time in respect of amounts comparable to the amount not paid plus any Mandatory Costs, and (3) for each other Loan, each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans, and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained at Base Rate Loans from time to time. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(e) shall be payable on demand.

(f) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Swingline Loan and Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Base Rate Loans or Swingline Loans, and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each Euro Rate Loan, (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(g) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Euro Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective Euro Rate Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.09. Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Euro Rate Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Euro Rate Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Euro Rate Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower be a one, two, three, six or, to the extent approved by each Lender with Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments, any other period; provided that (in each case):

(i) all Euro Rate Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Euro Rate Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Euro Rate Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Euro Rate Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iv) if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(v) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence; and

(vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing shall be selected which extends beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

With respect to any Non-Dollar Denominated Loans, at the end of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing thereof, the Borrower, may elect to split the respective Borrowing into two or more Borrowings of the same Type or combine two or more Borrowings of the same Type into a single Borrowing, in each case, by having an Authorized Officer of the Borrower give notice thereof together with its election of one or more Interest Periods, in each case so long as each resulting Borrowing (x) has an Interest Period which complies with the foregoing requirements of this Section 2.09, (y) has a principal amount which is not less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, and (z) does not cause a violation of the requirements of Section 2.02. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or are not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Euro Rate Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected

(x) if Eurodollar Loans, to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans and (y) if Non-Dollar Denominated Loans, to select a one-month Interest Period for such Non-Dollar Denominated Loans, in any such case effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

(a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Euro Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Euro Rate Loan because of (x) any Change in Law, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender imposed by the jurisdiction in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date affecting such Lender, the interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market (whether or not such Lender was a Lender at the time of such occurrence);

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Euro Rate Loan has been made unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order (or would conflict with any governmental rule, regulation, guideline, request or order not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the applicable interbank market; or

(iv) at any time that a Non-Dollar Currency is not available in sufficient amounts, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, to fund any Borrowing of Non-Dollar Denominated Loans requested pursuant to Section 2.01;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (i) above, (A) in the event Eurodollar Loans are so affected, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower and (B) in the event that any Non-Dollar Denominated Loan is so affected, the relevant Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of the relevant Euro Rate, (x) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or

 

-51-

---

otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (with the written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the foregoing to be, absent manifest error, final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice), (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower or shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law and (z) in the case of clause (iv) above, Non-Dollar Denominated Loans denominated in the affected Non-Dollar Currency (exclusive of any such Non-Dollar Denominated Loans which have theretofore been funded) shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or notice pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) given by the Borrower with respect to such Non-Dollar Denominated Loans which have not been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees that if it gives notice to the Borrower of any of the events described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and, in the case of any such Lender, the Administrative Agent, if such event ceases to exist.

(b) At any time that any Euro Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Euro Rate Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Euro Rate Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Euro Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the circumstance described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), shall occur no later than the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or such earlier day as shall be required by applicable law) and (B) in the case of any Euro Rate Loan (other than a Eurodollar Loan), repay all outstanding Borrowings which include such affected Euro Rate Loans in full in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.01; provided that, (i) if the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) apply to any Non-Dollar Denominated Loan, the Borrower, may, in lieu of taking the actions described above, maintain such Non-Dollar Denominated Loan outstanding, in which case, (x) in the case of Euro Denominated Loans, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of “Euro LIBOR” or (y) in the case of Sterling Denominated Term Loans, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Sterling LIBOR, as the case may be, unless the maintenance of such Non-Dollar Denominated Loan outstanding on such basis would not stop the conditions described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) from existing (in which case the actions described above, without giving effect to the proviso, shall be required to be taken) and (ii) if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If any Lender or Issuing Lender determines in good faith that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, or the Loans made by, or issuance of, or participations in Letters of Credit by, such Lender or Issuing Lender to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding

 

-52-

---

company would have achieved with respect to such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s Loans and issuance of, or participations in, Letters of Credit but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower (with respect to the affected Loans or Letters of Credit or participations therein of such Lender or Issuing Lender) will pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower (a copy of which shall be sent by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent), which notice shall set forth such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s basis for asserting its rights under this Section 2.10(c) and the calculation, in reasonable detail, of such additional amounts claimed hereunder, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. A Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s good faith determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.

In the event that any Lender shall in good faith determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) at any time that such Lender is required to maintain reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves required by applicable law) which have been established by any Federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental agency, authority, instrumentality or regulatory body with jurisdiction over such Lender (including any branch, Affiliate or funding office thereof) in respect of any Non-Dollar Denominated Loans or any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on any Non-Dollar Denominated Loan is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Lender to non-United States residents, then, unless such reserves are included in the calculation of the interest rate applicable to such Non-Dollar Denominated Loans or in Section 2.10(a)(ii), such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing specifying the additional amounts required to indemnify such Lender against the cost of maintaining such reserves (such written notice to provide in reasonable detail a computation of such additional amounts) and the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such specified amounts as additional interest at the time that the Borrower is otherwise required to pay interest in respect of such Non-Dollar Denominated Loan or, if later, on written demand therefor by such Lender.

2.11. Compensation. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11) or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b). Each Lender’s calculation of the amount of compensation owing pursuant to this Section

 

-53-

---

2.11 shall be made in good faith. A Lender’s basis for requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 and a Lender’s calculation of the amount thereof, shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 5.04.

2.13. Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs materially in excess of the average costs being charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.04(b), if no Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent with identical Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Loans provided by the Replacement Lender; provided that:

(a) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Revolving Loan Commitments and outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of only the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings) of, and in each case all participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender with respect to which such Replaced Lender is being replaced, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (unless there are no Unpaid Drawings) that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, (y) each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (z) in the case of any replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender; and

(b) all obligations of the Borrower then due and owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those (a) specifically described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11 or (b) relating to any Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments of the respective Replaced Lender which will remain outstanding after giving effect to the respective replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 13.04.

2.14. Incremental Commitments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right, in consultation and coordination with, Administrative Agent as to all of the matters set forth below in this Section 2.14, but without requiring the consent of any of the Lenders, to request at any time and from time to time after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date and prior to the date which is three months prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders as provided below) provide Incremental Commitments, it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Commitment as a result of any such request by the Borrower, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Commitment Agreement in respect thereof as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.14, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Revolving Loans or participate in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit in excess of its Commitment as in effect prior to giving effect to such Incremental Commitment provided pursuant to this Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each provision of Incremental Commitments on a given date pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be in a minimum aggregate amount (for all Lenders (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender)) of at least $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Commitment Amount.

(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Commitment (each, an “Incremental Lender”) shall execute and

 

-55-

---

deliver to Administrative Agent an Incremental Commitment Agreement, with the effectiveness of such Incremental Lender’s Incremental Commitment to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (w) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon up-front or arrangement fees owing to Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof)), (x) all Incremental Commitment Requirements are satisfied, (y) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.14 shall have been satisfied, and (z) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Commitment Agreement, and at such time, (i) the Total Commitment under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Incremental Commitments, (ii) Appendix A shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders and (iii) to the extent requested by any Incremental Lender, Revolving Loan Notes will be issued, at the expense of the Borrower, to such Incremental Lender in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05.

(c) At the time of any provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Borrower shall, in coordination with Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Revolving Loans of certain of the Lenders, and incur additional Revolving Loans from certain other Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders), in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders participate in each outstanding borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14) and with the Borrower being obligated to pay to the respective Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.10 in connection with any such repayment and/or incurrence.

2.15. Revolving Loans Refunding.

(a) If any Default or Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Fronting Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct that the Revolving Loans owing to it in its capacity as such be refunded by delivering a notice (with such detail as the Administrative Agent shall request, a “Notice of Revolving Loan Refunding”) to the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice of the contents thereof to the applicable Revolving Participants. Each such Notice of Revolving Loan Refunding shall be deemed to constitute delivery of a notice to the Administrative Agent requesting each applicable Revolving Participant to fund its undivided Participating Interest in the outstanding Revolving Loans fronted by the Fronting Lender whereupon each applicable Revolving Participant shall fund its pro rata portion of such outstanding Revolving Loans and related Obligations (including accrued and unpaid interest thereon) in an amount equal to such Revolving Participant’s share of the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Loans held by such Fronting Lender on behalf of such Revolving Participant. Each Revolving Participant shall promptly transfer or, if a Notice of Revolving Loan Refunding is delivered after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), transfer by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the next Business Day, to the Fronting Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its Participating Interest in the same currency as the underlying Revolving Loan was made by the Fronting Lender (unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Fronting Lender and Revolving Participant); provided, however, that if a Revolving Participant shall have previously notified the Fronting Lender that it will make such payment in Dollars, such Revolving Participant shall be permitted to transfer the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of its Participating Interest.

(b) Whenever, at any time after a Revolving Participant has funded its pro rata portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans fronted by a Fronting Lender and related Obligations, such Fronting Lender receives any payment on account thereof, such Fronting Lender will distribute to the

 

-56-

---

Administrative Agent for delivery to each such Revolving Participant its Participating Interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Participant’s Participating Interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Fronting Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Participant will return to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the Fronting Lender any portion thereof previously delivered by the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Lender to it.

(c) Each Revolving Participant’s obligation to fund its portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans fronted by a Fronting Lender on such Revolving Lender’s behalf and related Obligations referred to in this Section 2.15 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Participant or the Borrower may have against such Fronting Lender, any Revolving Participant, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any Credit Party or any other Revolving Participant, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time the Obligations, are converted to Dollars in accordance with Section 11, then each Revolving Participant shall be deemed to have acquired its Participating Interest in the Revolving Loans and related Obligations advanced by the Fronting Lender on its behalf immediately prior to such conversion (and each such Revolving Participant shall promptly make payment to the Fronting Lender therefor in accordance with the foregoing procedures).

SECTION 3. Letters of Credit.

3.01. Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, a Borrower may request that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the fifth Business Day (or the 30th day in the case of trade Letters of Credit described in clause (y) below (each a “Trade Letter of Credit”)) prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of (x) any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations, an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender, and (y) sellers of goods to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable trade letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”). All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars, Euros or Sterling and shall be issued on a sight basis only.

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the fifth Business Day (or the 30th day in the case of Trade Letter of Credit) prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for account of the Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit in support of such obligations as are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default; provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:

 

-57-

---

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

(ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received from the respective Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).

(c) Each letter of credit issued and outstanding under this Agreement immediately prior to the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date (each, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and issued, for purposes of Section 3.04(a), on the Initial Borrowing Date. Any Lender hereunder (and any of such Lender’s Affiliates and/or branches) which has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute an “Issuing Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

3.02. Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed either (x) $250,000,000, (y) when added to the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total Commitment at such time or (z) cause the Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered), (ii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate (x) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such standby Letter of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender) and (B) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; provided that a standby Letter of Credit issued to support obligations under any Specified Existing Ship Lease may terminate by its terms on or prior to the earlier to occur of (1) the date which occurs 24 months after the date of the issuance thereof and (2) the fifth Business Day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and (y) in the case of trade Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance thereof and (B) 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (iii) the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit at any time that a Lender Default is in effect with respect to any Lender unless the Borrower shall have taken action satisfactory to the Issuing Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s exposure to such Lender (including by cash collateralizing such Lender’s RL Percentage of such Letter of Credit).

3.03. Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount.

(a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof (including by way of facsimile) including without limitation by specifying the Available Currency such Letter of Credit is to be denominated. Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C, appropriately completed (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”).

(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 7 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a Lender Default exists with respect to a Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, renew, extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by the Defaulting Lender (which arrangements are hereby consented to by the Lenders), including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Lenders’ RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to such Letters of Credit (such arrangements, the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”) or such Defaulting Lender’s participation shall have been reallocated in accordance with Section 3.07.

(c) The Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit upon issuance shall be not less than (x) in the case of a Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit, $250,000, (y) in the case of a Euro Denominated Letter of Credit, €150,000 and (z) in the case of a Sterling Denominated Letter of Credit, £150,000, or in each case such lesser amount as is reasonably acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

3.04. Letter of Credit Participations.

(a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each such Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14 or 13.04(b), it is hereby

 

-59-

---

agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in the currency of the respective Unpaid Drawing and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars or such other currency, as applicable, such Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate (or in the case of amounts owed in Euros, at the Overnight Euro Rate) for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in Dollars (or in Euros or Sterling in the case of payments to be made in Euros or Sterling pursuant to Section 3.04(c)) and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

 

-60-

---

(f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any 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;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

3.05. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

(a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), by making payment in Dollars (in the case of all Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit), Euros (in the case of Euro Denominated Letters of Credit) or Sterling (in the case of Sterling Denominated Letters of Credit) not later than one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day following notice to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the respective Issuing Lender of such payment or disbursement, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the respective Account Party) at a rate per annum which shall be (x) in the case of Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit, Sterling Denominated Letters of Credit, the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans in each case maintained as Base Rate Loans, as in effect from time to time plus 2% and (y) in the case of Euro Denominated Letters of Credit, the Overnight Euro Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Euro Denominated Loans as in effect from time to time plus any

 

-61-

---

Mandatory Costs plus 2%, in each such case, with interest to be payable on demand; provided further, that it is understood and agreed, however, that the notices referred to above in this clause (a) and in the immediately preceding proviso shall not be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing (in which case the Unpaid Drawings shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by each Credit Party) and shall bear interest at the rate provided in the foregoing proviso on and after the third Business Day following the respective Drawing). The respective Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit; provided that the failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

3.06. [Reserved].

3.07. Reallocation of Participations of Defaulting Lenders.

If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Borrower may by notice to the Administrative Agent, require that the participations in Letters of Credit Outstandings and Swingline Loans be recomputed by calculating the RL Percentages of each Lender assuming the Revolving Loan Commitments of all Defaulting Lenders had been terminated; provided that no reallocation shall be permitted pursuant to this Section 3.07 unless at the time of and after giving effect to such reallocation, (i) each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment would be no less than the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loans plus such Lender’s RL Percentage of the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time and (ii) each of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03 shall have been satisfied (assuming for this purpose that such reallocation was a borrowing of Loans). In the event of any reallocation pursuant to this Section 3.07, (i) all fee calculations pursuant to Section 4 shall be made giving effect to the reallocation pursuant to this Section 3.07 and (ii) the determination of whether the Borrower is entitled to borrow any Loan or have issued, amended or renewed any Letter of Credit shall be made assuming that the unfunded portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Defaulting Lender had been terminated.

SECTION 4. Commitment Commission; Fees; Reductions of Commitment.

4.01. Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender a commitment commission (the “Commitment Commission”) for the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the Revolving Loan Maturity Date for such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (or such earlier date on which the Total Commitment has been terminated)

 

-62-

---

computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage of the Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect from time to time. Accrued Commitment Commission shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Commitment is terminated (and, in the case of the Initial Revolving Loan Commitments, upon the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date).

(i) For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed that none of Sections 5.02(b) through (d), inclusive, shall require that amounts received by any Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiaries be used to repay Obligations owed by any Credit Parties or that the receipt of any such amount shall generate a requirement for such a repayment, but that such Sections as formerly in effect merely determined the amounts required to be applied by the Borrower to the repayment of its Obligations as more fully described in this Section 5.02.

The aggregate amount of Unrestricted Cash owned or held by the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries (determined after giving pro forma effect to the making of each such Revolving Loan and/or Swingline Loan and the application of proceeds therefrom and from any other Unrestricted Cash on hand (to the extent such proceeds and/or other Unrestricted Cash are actually utilized by the Borrower and/or any other Subsidiary of the Borrower on the date of the incurrence of the respective such Revolving Loan and/or Swingline Loan for a permitted purpose under this Agreement other than an investment in Cash Equivalents)) shall not exceed $25,000,000 for more than five consecutive Business Days (for purposes of Unrestricted Cash denominated in a currency other than Dollars, taking the Dollar Equivalent of such Unrestricted Cash as determined on the date of the incurrence of the respective such Revolving Loan and/or Swingline Loan).

(a) Prior to the making of each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan or a Revolving Loan made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing), the Administrative Agent shall have received a Notice of Borrowing meeting the requirements of Section 2.03(a).

(d) At such time as any Equity Interests owned by any Credit Party cease to be Excluded Collateral, the Credit Parties shall take such actions as may be required by the Pledge Agreement and the other Security Documents or that are reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in order to ensure that the Collateral Agent has a perfected first priority security interest therein, provided that, in the case of any Foreign Subsidiary that is a corporation (or treated as such for U.S. tax purposes) which is owned by a Credit Party, not more than 65% of the total outstanding voting Equity Interests of such Person shall be required to be pledged in support of such Credit Party’s obligations (x) as the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or (y) under its Subsidiaries Guaranty in respect of the Obligations of the Borrower.

(e) Each action required above by Section 9.11(a), (b), (c) or (d) shall be completed as soon as possible, but in no event later than 90 days (or, in the case of actions relating to assets located outside the United States, such greater number of days (not to exceed 120 days) as the Administrative Agent shall agree to in its sole and absolute discretion in any given case) after such action is requested to be taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. The Borrower further agrees that (x) each action required above by Section 9.11(a), (b), (c) or (d) with respect to a newly formed, created or acquired Domestic Subsidiary, shall be completed contemporaneously with the formation, creation or acquisition of such Domestic Subsidiary, (provided that (x) the Credit Documents required to be executed and delivered pursuant to Section 9.11(c) by such newly formed, created or acquired Domestic Subsidiary shall not be required to be so executed and delivered until 45 days after the formation, creation or acquisition of such Subsidiary, (y) in the case of a Shell Corporation formed, created or established by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, such actions shall not be required to be taken (so long as same remains a Shell Corporation) until 60 days after the formation, creation or establishment of such Shell Corporation and (z) all actions required to be taken pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9.11(c) shall be taken as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 45 days, after the Borrower receives the respective request from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

To the extent the terms of any Permitted Acquired Debt prohibit the taking of actions otherwise required by this Section 9.11, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall, or shall cause the respective Subsidiaries of the Borrower to, (x) prepay any such Permitted Acquired Debt which is permitted to be prepaid and/or (y) use reasonable efforts to obtain such consents or approvals as are needed so that the taking of the actions otherwise specified in this Section 9.11 would not violate the terms of the respective issue of Permitted Acquired Debt. Furthermore, to the extent any Subsidiary which is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is acquired pursuant to an acquisition permitted by Section 10.05, then for so long as such Subsidiary is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, to the extent the Borrower in good faith determines that the respective Subsidiary is not able under applicable requirements of law (whether because of fiduciary duties under applicable law or other requirements of applicable law) to execute and deliver a Subsidiaries Guaranty or one or more Security Documents, such Subsidiary shall not be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor or execute and deliver such Security Documents as otherwise required above.

(g) In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders at any time after the Initial Borrowing Date determine in their reasonable discretion (whether as a result of a position taken by an applicable bank regulatory agency or official, or otherwise) that real estate appraisals satisfying the requirements set forth in 12 C.F.R., Part 34-Subpart C, or any successor or similar statute, role, regulation, guideline or order (any such appraisal, a “Required Appraisal”) are or were required to be obtained, or should be obtained, in connection with any Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, then, within 90 days after receiving written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, the Borrower shall cause such Required Appraisal to be delivered, at the expense of the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent, which Required Appraisal, and the respective appraiser, shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Borrower shall take all actions so that, at all times from and after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, all the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries located within the United States, all Equity Interests in all Domestic Subsidiaries or other U.S. Persons and all or substantially all of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than any Excluded JV) conducted in the United States are, in each case, owned or conducted, as the case may be, by the Borrower and one or more Domestic Subsidiaries which are not direct or indirect Subsidiaries of any Subsidiary of the Borrower which is a Foreign Subsidiary, provided that if a Foreign Subsidiary (not itself created or established in contemplation of an acquisition) is acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary which Foreign Subsidiary has (either directly or through one or more Domestic Subsidiaries) assets or operations in the United States, the Borrower shall have a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 60 days) to effect the transfer of U.S. assets and operations (including all Equity Interests in any Domestic Subsidiaries or other U.S. Persons held by it) of the respective Foreign Subsidiary to one or more Qualified Obligors; provided further, that the respective transfer shall not be required to be made if the Borrower in good faith determines that such transfer would give rise to adverse tax consequences to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or would give rise to any material breach or violation of law or contract (in which case, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall transfer such assets and operations at such time, if any, as such adverse tax consequences or breach or violation would not exist and, until such time, shall use good faith efforts so that any growth in the assets or operations of the entity so acquired, to the extent located in the United States, is made within the Borrower or one or more Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Guarantors).

9.14. Maintenance of Company Separateness. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, satisfy customary Company formalities, including the holding of regular board of directors’ and shareholders’ meetings or action by directors or shareholders without a meeting and the maintenance of Company records. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, which is likely to result in the Company existence of the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries being ignored, or in the assets and liabilities of the Borrower or any other Credit Party being substantively consolidated with those of any other such Person or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding.

9.15. Performance of Obligations. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, perform all of its obligations under the terms of each mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, loan agreement or credit agreement and each other material agreement, contract or instrument by which it is bound, except such non-performances as, individually or in the aggregate, have not caused, and could not reasonably be expected to cause, a Default or Event of Default hereunder or a Material Adverse Effect.

9.16. Margin Stock. The Borrower shall take all actions so that at all times the aggregate value of all Margin Stock (other than treasury stock) owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (for such purpose, using the initial purchase price paid by the Borrower or such Subsidiary for the respective shares of Margin Stock) shall not exceed $10,000,000. So long as the aggregate value of Margin Stock (other than treasury stock) owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (determined as provided in the preceding sentence) does not exceed $10,000,000, all Margin Stock at any time owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not constitute Collateral and no security interest shall be granted therein pursuant to any Credit Document. Without excusing any violation of the first sentence of this

With respect to such locations or warehouse space leased or owned as of the Initial Borrowing Date and thereafter, if the Collateral Agent has not received a landlord or mortgagee agreement or bailee letter as of the Initial Borrowing Date (or, if later, as of the date such location is acquired or leased), any Eligible Inventory at that location shall, in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, be subject to such Reserves as may be established by Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion.

SECTION 12. The Administrative Agent.

12.01. Appointment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint DBNY as Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 12 and Section 13.01, the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include DBNY in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

12.02. Nature of Duties.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

---

12.03. Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

12.04. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

12.05. Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

12.06. Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any Affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such Affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Each Revolving Participant agrees to indemnify the Fronting Lender, in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of the Borrower to do so), for any liabilities, obligations,

 

-110-

---

losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on or incurred by or asserted against the Fronting Lender in its capacity as such; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Fronting Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Lender as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

12.07. The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders,” “Holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

12.08. Holders.

(a) The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of preceding clause (a), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any Agent hereunder may also act in individual or agency capacities in connection with other financings, including, without limitation, pursuant to the Term Credit Documents. The parties hereto agree to each of the Agents acting in such other individual and agency capacities, and shall not raise any claim in connection therewith (except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the respective such Person as an Agent hereunder).

12.09. Resignation by the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 then exists, the Borrower. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

 

-111-

---

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 12 (and the analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

12.10. Collateral Matters.

(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments (and all Letters of Credit) and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 10.02, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to

 

-112-

---

the extent required by Section 13.12), (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.10 or (v) constituting Equity Interests or assets of any Subsidiary of the Borrower upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Subsidiary in a transaction permitted by the Credit Documents.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 12.10 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

12.11. Delivery of Information. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party, any Subsidiary, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

12.12. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent and any Fronting Lender shall withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Lender did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Lender of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Lender (to the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Lender has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Lender as tax or otherwise, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such tax were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or Fronting Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

13.04. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders; and provided, further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Revolving Loan Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitments have terminated, outstanding

 

-116-

Obligations) hereunder to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitments have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender upon compliance with the requirements below. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that (i) at such time, Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrower for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender and, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, the Borrower, shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (iv) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.15. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Revolving Loan Commitments and outstanding Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 5.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party thereto.

(d) Any Lender which assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 13.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

13.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06. Payments Pro Rata.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (including to the Fronting Lender (rather than to the Revolving Participants) with respect to the Revolving Loans made by such Lender and other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders a Participating Interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

13.07. Calculations; Computations.

(a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders), provided that (i) if at any time any change in U.S. GAAP is reasonably likely to cause any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Credit Document to be violated or to impose additional obligations on the Borrower, or to prevent any such violation or any such imposition absent such change, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in U.S. GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (x) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP prior to such change therein (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if such notice is provided following the last day of a Test Period but prior to the date the officer’s certificate required pursuant to Section 9.01(e) has been delivered for such Test Period, such notice shall be deemed to have been received on the last day of such Test Period) and (y) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in U.S. GAAP, (ii) to the extent expressly required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis and (iii) for purposes of determining compliance with any incurrence or expenditure tests set forth in Sections 9 and/or 10, any amounts so incurred or expended (to the extent incurred or expended in a currency other than Dollars) shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide such exchange rates, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of such incurrence or expenditure under any provision of any such Section that has an aggregate Dollar limitation provided for therein (and to the extent the respective incurrence or expenditure test regulates the aggregate amount outstanding at any time and it is expressed in terms of Dollars, all outstanding amounts originally incurred or spent in currencies other than Dollars shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide such exchange rates, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of any new incurrence or expenditures made under any provision of any such Section that regulates the Dollar amount outstanding at any time).

(b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to (x) the Prime Lending Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable and (y) Sterling LIBOR, which shall be based on a year of 365 days) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Facing Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or Fees are payable.

Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Revolving Loan Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

13.13. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

13.14. Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

13.15. Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Revolving Loan Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Revolving Loan Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Revolving Loan Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Revolving Loan Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Revolving Loan Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or Revolving Loan transfer of all or part of any Revolving Loan Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.15.

13.16. Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.16, each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is

now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 13.16(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.16 and (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender; provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.16.

(b) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender.

13.17. Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Equity Interests in, and Promissory Notes Owed by, Persons Not Organized in the United States. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions of the various Security Documents executed and delivered by the Credit Parties require that, among other things, all promissory notes executed by, and capital stock and other Equity Interests in, various Persons owned by the respective Credit Party be pledged, and delivered for pledge, pursuant to the Security Documents. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that each Credit Party shall be required to take all actions under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Credit Party is organized to create and perfect all security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents and to take all actions under the laws of the United States and any State thereof to perfect the security interests in the capital stock and other Equity Interests of, and promissory notes issued by, any Person organized under the laws of said jurisdictions (in each case, to the extent said capital stock, other Equity Interests or promissory notes are owned by any Credit Party). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent any Security Document requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or capital stock or other Equity Interests in, any Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than those specified in the immediately preceding sentence, it is acknowledged that, as of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, no actions have been required to be taken to perfect, under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose capital stock or other Equity Interests are pledged, under the Security Documents. The Borrower hereby agrees that, following any request by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to do so, the Borrower will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, take such actions (including, without limitation, the execution of Additional Security Documents, the making of any filings and the delivery of appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to which such actions have not already been taken as are determined by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to be necessary or desirable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such jurisdictions. If requested to do so pursuant to this Section 13.17, all such actions shall be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.17 and Section 9.12 and within the time periods set forth therein. All conditions and representations contained in this Agreement

and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing and so that same are not violated by reason of the failure to take actions under local law (but only with respect to capital stock of, other Equity Interests in, and promissory notes issued by, Persons organized under laws of jurisdictions other than the United States and any State thereof) not required to be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.17; provided that to the extent any representation or warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken, the respective representation of warranties shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at such time as the respective action is required to be taken in accordance with the foregoing provisions of Section 9.12 and this Section 13.17.

13.18. Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title 111 of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower and the other Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Act.

13.19. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. 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 Credit Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and Lead Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent its has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers 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 Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger nor any of their Affiliates has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; and (iii) each of the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent or the Joint Lead Arrangers has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Tenant hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, Collateral Agent as follows:

1. Landlord hereby (a) waives and releases unto Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns any and all rights granted by or under any present or future laws, pursuant to the Lease, common law or otherwise, to levy or distraint for rent or any other charges which may be due to Landlord against the Collateral, and any and all other claims, liens and demands of every kind which it now has or may hereafter have against the Collateral, and (b) agrees that any rights it may have in or to the Collateral, no matter how arising (to the extent not effectively waived pursuant to clause (a) of this paragraph 1), shall be second and subordinate to the rights of Collateral Agent in respect thereof. Landlord acknowledges that the Collateral is and will remain personal property and not fixtures even though it may be affixed to or placed on the Premises. Landlord acknowledges Collateral Agent has the right to and will file a UCC-1 Financing Statement against the Collateral.

2. Landlord certifies that (a) Landlord is the landlord under the Lease, (b) the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been amended, modified, or supplemented except as set forth on Exhibit B annexed hereto, (c) to the knowledge of Landlord, there is no defense, offset, claim or counterclaim by or in favor of Landlord against Tenant under the Lease or against the obligations of Landlord under the Lease, (d) no notice of default has been given under or in connection with the Lease which has not been cured, and Landlord has no knowledge of the occurrence of any other default under or in connection with the Lease, and (e) except as disclosed to Collateral Agent, no portion of the Premises is encumbered in any way by any deed of trust or mortgage lien or ground or superior lease.

3. Landlord consents to the installation or placement of the Collateral on the Premises, and Landlord grants to Collateral Agent a license to enter upon and into the Premises to do any or all of the following with respect to the Collateral: assemble, have appraised, display, remove, maintain, prepare for sale or lease, repair, transfer, or sell (at public or private sale). In entering upon or into the Premises, Collateral Agent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord caused solely by Collateral Agent’s entering upon or into the Premises and taking any of the foregoing actions with respect to the Collateral. Such costs shall include any physical damage to the Premises made by Collateral Agent in severing and/or removing the Collateral therefrom. Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any diminution of the value of the Premises caused by the absence of the Collateral actually removed or by the need to replace the Collateral after such removal.

4. Landlord agrees that it will not prevent Collateral Agent or its designee from entering upon the Premises at all reasonable times to inspect or remove the Collateral. In the event that Landlord has the right to, and desires to, obtain possession of the Premises (either through expiration of the Lease or termination thereof due to the default of Tenant thereunder), Landlord will deliver notice (the “Landlord’s Notice”) to Collateral Agent to that effect. Within the 120 day period after Collateral Agent receives the Landlord’s Notice, Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Collateral to be removed from the Premises. During such 120 day period, Landlord will not remove the Collateral from the Premises nor interfere with Collateral Agent’s actions in removing the Collateral from the Premises or Collateral Agent’s actions in otherwise enforcing its security interest in the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, Collateral Agent shall at no time have any obligation to remove the Collateral from the Premises.

5. Landlord shall send to Collateral Agent a copy of any notice of default under the Lease sent by Landlord to Tenant. In addition, Landlord shall send to Collateral Agent a copy of any notice received by Landlord of a breach or default under any other lease, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or other instrument to which Landlord is a party which may affect Landlord’s rights in, or possession of, the Premises.

6. Should Collateral Agent acquire Tenant’s interest in the Lease by reason of Collateral Agent’s exercise of its security interest in the stock of Tenant, or Tenant’s parent or affiliated company, or otherwise, Landlord prospectively consents thereto. Any subsequent assignment of the Lease by Collateral Agent shall release Collateral Agent from liability as Tenant under the Lease from and after the date of such assignment.

7. Collateral Agent may, without in any way affecting or limiting this Agreement, and without notice to Landlord, modify, supplement, restate (in whole or in part) or refinance the Credit Agreement.

8. In the event of a default by Tenant under the Lease, Landlord shall accept any curative acts undertaken by or at the instigation of Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as if they had been undertaken by Tenant.

9. If Landlord shall elect to terminate the Lease by reason of any default of Tenant, Lender shall have the following rights (exercisable in Collateral Agent’s sole discretion):

(a) to nullify any notice of termination by curing such default prior to the effective date of termination; and

(b) to postpone and extend the specified date for such termination as fixed by Landlord in its notice of termination, for a period of not more than sixty (60) days, provided that Collateral Agent shall agree with Landlord (by giving a notice to that effect to Landlord) before the effective date of termination, to accomplish the following within the times hereinafter provided and shall, in fact, accomplish the following in a timely manner:

(i) cure or cause to be cured within thirty (30) days of such notice any then-existing monetary defaults of which Collateral Agent has knowledge;

(ii) pay or cause to be paid during such 60-day period any rent and other monetary obligations of Tenant under the Lease, as the same fall due;

(iii) promptly cure or cause to be cured any other defaults that Collateral Agent can cure and of which Lender has knowledge;

(iv) take steps to acquire or sell Tenant’s interest in the Lease provided that the time period for commencement of such steps shall be extended one day for each day that Collateral Agent is under any statutory or judicial restraint precluding the taking of such steps; and

(v) prosecute to completion with reasonable diligence the steps commenced pursuant to the preceding clause.

If, at the end of such 60-day period, as it may be extended as aforesaid, Collateral Agent shall be actively engaged in steps to acquire or sell Tenant’s interest in the Lease and is in compliance with the other conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the time for completion of such steps shall be further extended upon the same conditions for such period not to exceed thirty (30) days as shall be reasonably necessary to complete such steps with reasonable diligence. If Tenant’s interest is acquired or sold by foreclosure of the Mortgage or otherwise during such 60-day period, as it may be extended as aforesaid, the intended termination of the Lease by Landlord under the aforesaid notice will be automatically nullified, and the Lease will continue as if said notice of termination had never been given.

10. If Tenant fails to exercise an option, if any, to extend the term of the Lease within time period set forth therein for such exercise, then such extension option shall not expire until: (a) Landlord has given Collateral Agent written notice of such failure to exercise; and (b) Collateral Agent has failed for a period of fifteen (15) days following its receipt of such notice to exercise the extension option. Landlord agrees to accept the exercise of an extension option by Collateral Agent within such period.

11. If the Lease, without the consent of Collateral Agent, is terminated for any reason before the end of its stated term, as such stated term may be extended, then Landlord shall, upon written request from Lender made within forty five (45) days after such termination, enter into a new lease of the Premises with Collateral Agent. The new lease shall be on the same terms and conditions as the Lease (including without limitation any rights or options to extend the terms of the lease or acquire the Premises) and shall have the same priority as the Lease. Landlord’s obligation to enter into such a new lease shall be conditioned upon the following: (a) Collateral Agent shall have cured all monetary defaults and commenced, and diligently prosecuted, the cure for all reasonably curable non-monetary defaults; and (b) Collateral Agent shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in entering into such new lease.

12. The cancellation, surrender or amendment of the Lease by Tenant shall not be effective as against Lender without the written consent of Collateral Agent.

13. Within fifteen (15) days after written request therefor from Lender, Landlord shall deliver to Lender (and any other party identified by Lender) an estoppel certificate signed by Landlord in form reasonably designated by Collateral Agent that certifies as to: (a) the rent payable under the Lease; (b) the term of the Lease and the rights of Tenant, if any, to extend the Term of the Lease; (c) the nature of any defaults by Tenant alleged by Landlord; and (d) any other matters reasonably requested by Collateral Agent.

Landlord will disclose the terms and provisions of this Agreement to any purchaser or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Premises.

15. All notices to Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent to Collateral Agent at its address set forth on the signature page hereof by telefacsimile, by United States mail, or by overnight delivery service.

16. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect until Landlord shall have received Collateral Agent’s written certification that all amounts advanced under the Credit Agreement have been paid in full.
