(a)                                 Notice of Borrowings.  Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than noon (New York City time) (x) in the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances, at least three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing (or at such other time as the applicable Borrower and the Banks may agree to for such proposed Borrowing) and (y) in the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances, on the day of the proposed Borrowing, by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Bank prompt notice thereof by facsimile or in accordance with Section 9.02.  Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be given in accordance with Section 9.02, in substantially the form of Exhibit A, identifying therein the requested Borrowing and the (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (iv) in the case of a Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance, provided that the applicable Borrower may not specify LIBOR Advances for any Borrowing if, after giving effect to such Borrowing, LIBOR

Advances having more than ten different Interest Periods shall be outstanding, (v) whether, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the aggregate amount of Available Cash would exceed $150,000,000 and (vi) the amount and date of receipt of any net cash proceeds of issuances of Equity Interests of the Parent excluded from the calculation of “Available Cash” pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof and the intended purpose of such net cash proceeds.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower that gives such Notice of Borrowing.

(b)                                 Funding of Borrowings.  In the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.05(b).  Each Bank shall, before noon (or 2:00 P.M. in the case of a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its Payment Office, in same day funds, such Bank’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing.  After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.  Each Bank may, at its option, make any Advance available to any Borrower not organized under the laws of a State of the United States of America by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Bank to make such Advance; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c)                                  Indemnification of Banks.  In the case of any Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of LIBOR Advances, the applicable Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Bank as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund the Advance to be made by such Bank as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.  Any Bank requesting indemnification under this Section 2.02(c) shall provide to the applicable Borrower a reasonable explanation of any such loss, cost, or expense for which such Bank requests indemnification.

35

Business Day after such Bank’s Ratable Portion was due, with interest at the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of such Bank, forthwith upon demand, with interest at the Federal Funds Rate.  If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.  The failure of any Bank to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Advance to be made by such other Bank on the date of any Borrowing.

(e)                                  Notes.  Each Bank, at its option, may request a Note of the Borrowers payable to the order of such Bank, evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Bank resulting from Advances owing by any Borrower to such Bank, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto.

(a)                                 Commitment Fees.  The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee at the rate per annum set forth in the Pricing Schedule hereto under the heading “Commitment Fee” for the relevant Rating Category applicable from time to time calculated on the average daily unused amount of such Bank’s Commitment during the period from the Effective Date in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance (or joinder pursuant to Section 2.19(a)) pursuant to which it became a Bank in the case of each other Bank until the date on which such Bank’s Commitment terminates.  Accrued commitment fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on or before the later of (A) the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing June 30, 2013 and (B) the date that is three Business Days following the Parent’s receipt of an invoice for such fees, and (C) on the applicable Termination Date.  All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Bank is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any commitment fees accruing during such period pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees).

(b)                                 Other Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers the fees set forth in the Fee Letters and such other fees as may be separately agreed to by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or the Joint Lead Arrangers, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.04.     Repayment.  The Borrowers shall repay to each Bank the then-unpaid principal of all of the Advances owing to such Bank on such Bank’s Termination Date.  If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all Advances owed to any Bank, plus such Bank’s Ratable Portion of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then outstanding, exceeds its Commitment, the Borrowers shall ratably repay to the Banks the Advances in an amount necessary so that no Bank is owed a principal amount of Advances that exceeds its Commitment minus such Bank’s Ratable Portion of Letter of Credit Liabilities.  If any repayment of a LIBOR Advance under this

36

Section 2.04 occurs on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrowers shall compensate the relevant Banks pursuant to Section 9.04(b).

SECTION 2.05.     Interest.  Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owed by it to each Bank from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(a)                                 Base Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect for Base Rate Advances from time to time, payable quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods, on each other date provided herein and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be changed (in whole or in part) as a result of any division or combination of any Borrowing or shall be Converted (in whole or in part); provided that any amount of principal (other than principal of LIBOR Advances bearing interest pursuant to the proviso to Section 2.05(b)) which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest, from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of 2% per annum plus the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances in effect from time to time.

(b)                                 LIBOR Advances.  During such periods as such Advance is a LIBOR Advance, a rate per annum equal, at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance, to the sum of the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus the Applicable Margin in effect for LIBOR Advances from time to time, payable on the last day of such Interest Period, on each other date provided herein and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on the day which occurs during such Interest Period three months from the first day of such Interest Period; provided that any amount of principal of any LIBOR Advance which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest, from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% per annum plus the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance immediately prior to the date on which such amount became due.

SECTION 2.06.     Additional Interest on LIBOR Advances.  If any Bank is required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, and if as a result thereof there is an increase in the cost to such Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Advances, then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), unless such Bank withdraws its demand for such additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.16(c), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts, as additional interest hereunder, sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost.  Such Bank shall provide to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers a reasonable explanation of such amounts to be paid.

SECTION 2.07.     Interest Rate Determination and Protection.  (a) The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Parent and the Banks of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.05(b).

37

(b)                                 If the Administrative Agent is unable to obtain timely information for determining the LIBO Rate for any LIBOR Advance,

(i)                                     the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Parent and the Banks that the interest rate cannot be determined for such LIBOR Advances,

(ii)                                  each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

(iii)                               the obligation of the Banks to make, or to Convert Advances or Borrowings into, or make divisions or combinations of Borrowings resulting in, LIBOR Advances or LIBOR Borrowings shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent and the Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c)                                  If the Majority Banks notify the Administrative Agent that either (A) the applicable interest rate for any Interest Period for any LIBOR Advance will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority Banks of making, funding or maintaining their respective LIBOR Advances for such Interest Period, or (B) Dollar deposits in the amounts of their respective Advances for such Interest Period are not available to them in the London interbank market, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Parent and the Banks, whereupon

(i)                                     each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or, if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

(ii)                                  the obligation of the Banks to make, or to Convert Advances or Borrowings into, or to make divisions or combinations of Borrowings resulting in, LIBOR Advances or LIBOR Borrowings shall be suspended until the Majority Banks shall notify the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall thereafter notify the Parent) that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(d)                                 If a Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify such Borrower and the Banks and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into LIBOR Advances with an Interest Period of one month.

(e)                                  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each LIBOR Advance shall automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance.

SECTION 2.08.     Voluntary Conversion of Borrowings; Continuation of LIBOR Borrowings.  (a) The applicable Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than noon (x) in the case of a proposed Conversion into a LIBOR Borrowing, on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and (y) in the case of a proposed Conversion into a Base Rate Borrowing, on the date of the proposed

38

Conversion and subject to the limitations in Section 2.02(a) as to the number of permitted Interest Periods and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07, 2.08(c) and 2.11, Convert all or any portion of a Borrowing of one Type into a Borrowing of another Type; provided that any Conversion of any LIBOR Borrowing shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Borrowing.  Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Borrowing (or identified portion thereof) to be Converted and the Type into which it is to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Borrowing, the duration of the Interest Period for each LIBOR Advance comprising such LIBOR Borrowing.

(b)                                 The applicable Borrower may continue all or any portion of any LIBOR Borrowing as a LIBOR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period that complies with the requirements set forth in the definition herein of “Interest Period,” by giving notice of such Interest Period as set forth in such definition, subject to the limitations in Section 2.02(a) as to the number of permitted Interest Periods and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07, 2.08(c) and 2.11.

(c)                                  All Borrowings, divisions and combinations of Borrowings, Conversions and continuations under this Agreement shall be effected in a manner that (i) treats all Banks ratably (including, for example, effecting Conversions of any portion of a Borrowing in a manner that results in each Bank retaining its same ratable percentage of both the Converted portion and the remaining portion not Converted), and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Borrowings, results in each LIBOR Borrowing (including, in the case of any Conversion of a portion of a LIBOR Borrowing, both the Converted portion and the remaining portion not Converted) being in an amount not less than $1,000,000.  Upon Conversion of any Borrowing, or portion thereof, into a particular Type, all Advances comprising such Borrowing or portion thereof, as the case may be, will be deemed Converted into Advances of such Type.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, during the continuance of any Event of Default, no Borrower may divide or combine Borrowings, continue all or any portion of any LIBOR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period or Convert all or any portion of a Borrowing into a LIBOR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.09.     Prepayments.

(a)                                 Optional.  Each Borrower may (i) in respect of LIBOR Advances, upon at least two Business Days’ notice, and (ii) in respect of Base Rate Advances, upon notice by noon on the day of the proposed prepayment, to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment and the Types of Advances to be prepaid, and the specific Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid in whole or in part, and if such notice is given the applicable Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid without premium or penalty; provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $10,000,000 (and in increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and provided further that if such Borrower prepays any LIBOR Advance on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, such Borrower shall compensate the Banks pursuant to Section 9.04(b).

39

(b)                                 Mandatory.

(i)                                     With respect to each Advance as to which a Use of Proceeds Certificate is required to have been delivered hereunder, if and to the extent the Borrower has not applied the proceeds of such Advance for the purposes specified in such Use of Proceeds Certificate or for other purposes permitted by this Agreement by the fifth Business Day following the date such Advance is made, then on the next Business Day the Borrowers shall prepay any outstanding Advances in an aggregate principal amount equal to such unused proceeds.

(ii)                                  If (A) any proceeds of Equity Interests which were excluded from the calculation of Available Cash pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof were not used to consummate a permitted transaction for which they were set aside within 90 days after receipt thereof and (B) Available Cash (after giving effect to the inclusion of such unused proceeds of Equity Interests in “Available Cash”) exceeds $150,000,000, then within one Business Day after the expiration of such 90 day period, the Borrowers shall repay any outstanding Advances in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of such proceeds at such time and (y) such amount as shall cause Available Cash to be less than or equal to $150,000,000 after giving effect to such repayment.

SECTION 2.10.     Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy, Etc.

(a)                                 Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

(i)                                     impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank or any Issuing Bank;

(ii)                                  subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Taxes described in clauses (a)(ii) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)                               impose on any Bank or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Bank or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Bank or such other Recipient of making, funding or maintaining any Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance), or to increase in the cost to such Bank, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or issue any such Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank, Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest, or any other amount), then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such Bank, Issuing Bank or other Recipient (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, without

40

duplication of any amounts paid under Section 2.06 or Section 2.10(c), for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered for such increased cost unless, in the case of a Bank, such Bank shall have withdrawn its demand for additional compensation for such increased cost pursuant to Section 2.16(c); provided that such Bank, Issuing Bank or other Recipient is generally seeking, or intends generally to seek, compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Bank, Issuing Bank or other Recipient has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) with respect to such Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements.  Such Bank, Issuing Bank or other Recipient shall provide to such Borrower a certificate setting forth the amounts to be paid by such Borrower in accordance with Section 2.17.

(b)                                 Conversion of Advances.  If the applicable Borrower so notifies the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after any Bank notifies such Borrower of any increased cost pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.10(a), such Borrower shall Convert all Advances of the Type affected by such increased cost of all Banks then outstanding into Advances of another Type in accordance with Section 2.08 (provided that the proviso to first sentence of Section 2.08(a) shall not apply to any such Conversion) and, additionally, reimburse such Bank for such increased cost in accordance with Section 2.10(a).

(c)                                  Capital Requirements.  If any Bank or Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting such Bank or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Bank or such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Bank or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Bank, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Bank or Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), such Bank or Issuing Bank shall have the right to give prompt written notice and demand for payment of such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any reduction actually suffered to the Parent with a copy to the Administrative Agent (which notice and demand shall show in reasonable detail a description of the basis for such claim of compensation and the calculation of such additional amount or amounts as shall be required to compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any reduction actually suffered, which such amounts shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), although the failure to give any such notice shall not, unless such notice fails to set forth the information required above or is not delivered within the time period set forth in clause (e) below, release or diminish any of the Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c); provided that such Bank or such Issuing Bank is generally seeking, or intends generally to seek, compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Bank or Issuing Bank has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) with respect to such Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements.  Subject to Section 2.16, such Borrower shall pay such additional amount or amounts set forth in such notice.

41

(d)                                 Mitigation Obligations.  If any Bank requests compensation under this Section 2.10, then such Bank shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to select a jurisdiction for its Applicable Lending Office or change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office, as the case may be, so as to avoid the imposition of any increased costs under this Section 2.10 or to eliminate the amount of any such increased cost which may thereafter accrue; provided that no such selection or change of the jurisdiction for its Applicable Lending Office shall be made if, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, such selection or change would subject such Bank to any unreimbursed costs or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank.  The Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such selection or change.

(e)                                  Delay in Requests.  No Bank shall be entitled to recover increased costs pursuant to this Section 2.10, (a) incurred or accruing more than 90 days prior to the date on which such Bank sent to the applicable Borrower a written notice and demand for payment as specified in this Section 2.10 (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof), or (b) to the extent that such increased costs have resulted from the failure of such Bank to have complied with Section 2.10(d).

SECTION 2.11.     Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency shall assert that it is unlawful (such unlawfulness or such assertion of unlawfulness being an “Illegality Event”), for any Bank or its Eurodollar Lending Office (such a Bank being an “Affected Bank”) to perform its obligations hereunder to make LIBOR Advances or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Bank to the applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (a) the obligation of the Banks to make, or to Convert Advances or Borrowings into, or to make divisions or combinations of Borrowings resulting in, LIBOR Advances or LIBOR Borrowings shall be suspended until the time set forth in the next succeeding sentence (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of such suspension), and (b) the applicable Borrower shall forthwith Convert all LIBOR Advances of all Banks then outstanding into Advances of another Type in accordance with Section 2.08.  The suspension of the obligation of the Banks to make LIBOR Advances or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances, as set forth in the preceding sentence, shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the withdrawal by each Affected Bank of its notice and demand with respect to the Illegality Event referenced in this Section 2.11, (ii) the replacement by the Parent of each Affected Bank pursuant to Section 2.16(b) hereof with an Eligible Assignee that is not an Affected Bank, and (iii) the termination by the Parent of each Affected Bank pursuant to Section 2.16(c) hereof.  If an Illegality Event has ceased to exist with respect to a Bank that has given notice and demand with respect to such Illegality Event pursuant to this Section 2.11, such Bank shall promptly after becoming aware thereof withdraw such notice and demand by giving written notice of withdrawal to the Administrative Agent and the Parent.  Upon termination of such suspension pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of such termination, and the Banks shall thereupon again be obligated to make LIBOR Advances and LIBOR Borrowings and to continue to fund, maintain, and Convert LIBOR Advances and LIBOR Borrowings in each case in accordance with and to the extent provided in this Agreement.

42

SECTION 2.12.     Payments and Computations.

(a)                                 Payment Procedures.  Each Borrower shall make each payment under any Loan Document not later than noon on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its Payment Office (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of payments to an Issuing Bank under Section 2.18) in same day funds.  The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest, fees or commissions on Letters of Credit as contemplated by Section 2.18(d) ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.10, 2.13, 2.16 or 9.04) to the Banks for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.06(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes (if any) in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Bank assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.  At the time of each payment of any principal of or interest on any Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the Borrowing to which such payment shall apply.  In the absence of such notice, the Administrative Agent may specify the Borrowing to which such payment shall apply.  All of the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents shall be absolute and unconditional, and all payments to be made by the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment, or setoff.

(b)                                 Computations of Interest.  (i) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate (except during such times as the Base Rate is determined pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of the definition thereof) shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and (ii) all computations of interest based on the LIBO Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, of any fee payable under Section 2.03, Section 2.18(d), or, during such times as the Base Rate is determined pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of the definition thereof, shall be made by the Administrative Agent, and all computations of interest pursuant to Section 2.06 shall be made by a Bank, on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Section 2.06, by a Bank) of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c)                                  Non-Business Day Payments.  Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes (if any) shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of LIBOR Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

43

(d)                                 Borrower Default.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank.  If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

SECTION 2.13.     Taxes.

(a)                                 Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by the Borrowers hereunder or under the Notes (if any) shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.12, free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If a Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note (if any) to any Recipient, then such Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) such Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b)                                 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.  In addition, each Borrower agrees to timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant governmental authority, or if the Administrative Agent elects, reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(c)                                  Indemnification by the Borrowers.  Each Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of  Indemnified Taxes (including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13) paid by such Recipient, any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted, except if such Other Taxes, or other liability arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Recipient as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Recipient makes written demand therefor.

(d)                                 Indemnification by the Banks.  Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with Section 9.06(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes

44

attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.13(d).

(e)                                  Evidence of Payments; Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes by or at the direction of a Borrower, such Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, (i) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, if the relevant taxing authority provides a receipt, or (ii) if the relevant taxing authority does not provide a receipt, other reasonable evidence of the payment thereof.  Should any Bank or the Administrative Agent ever receive any refund, credit or deduction from any taxing authority to which such Bank or the Administrative Agent would not be entitled but for the payment by a Borrower of Taxes as required by this Section 2.13 (it being understood that the decision as to whether or not to claim, and if claimed, as to the amount of any such refund, credit or deduction shall be made by such Bank or the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, thereupon shall repay to such Borrower an amount with respect to such refund, credit or deduction equal to any net reduction in Taxes actually obtained by such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and determined by such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to be attributable to such refund, credit or deduction, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Bank or the Administrative Agent and without interest.  The Borrowers, upon the request of such Bank or the Administrative Agent, shall repay to such Bank or the Administrative Agent the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the taxing authority) in the event that such Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will any Bank or the Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to any Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place such Bank or the Administrative Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Bank or the Administrative Agent would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(f)                                   Status of Banks.

(i)                                     With respect to the Administrative Agent and each Borrower, any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably

45

requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.13(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(C) below) shall not be required if in such applicable Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank.

(ii)                                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A)                               any Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B)                               any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement, whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such Tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such Tax treaty; (2) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or

46

other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and

(C)                               if a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)                                  Mitigation Obligations.  If any Bank is required by a Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes to any Bank or any taxing authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 2.13, then such Bank shall (at the request of the Parent) use its commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to select a jurisdiction for its Applicable Lending Office or change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office, as the case may be, so as to avoid the imposition of any Indemnified Taxes or to eliminate the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue; provided that no such selection or change of the jurisdiction for its Applicable Lending Office shall be made if, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, such selection or change would subject such Bank to any unreimbursed costs or expense or would be disadvantageous to such Bank.  The Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(h)                                 Survival of Obligations.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.13 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and under the Notes.

(i)                                     Applicable Law.  For purposes of this Section 2.13, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

47

(j)                                    FATCA.  For purposes of determining withholding taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the First Amendment Effective Date, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

SECTION 2.14.     Sharing of Payments, Etc.  (a) If any Bank shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances made by it (other than pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.10, 2.13, 2.16, 2.21, 9.04, or 9.06) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Banks, such Bank shall forthwith notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Banks participations in the Advances made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each of them, provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from each Bank shall be rescinded and such Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of the participation purchased from such Bank as a result of such excess payment to (ii) the total amount of such excess payment) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Bank’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered.

(b)                                 Each Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.14 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.15.     Ratable Reduction or Termination of the Commitments; Effect of Termination.

(a)                                 The Parent shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Banks, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of at least $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Commitments terminated or reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence may not be reinstated.

(b)                                 Upon and at all times after any Commitment of any Bank is terminated in whole pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, such Commitment shall be zero and such Bank shall have no further obligation to make any Advances.

SECTION 2.16.     Replacement of Bank; Additional Right to Terminate Commitments.

(a)                                 Generally.  In the event that (i) any Bank demands payment pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.10 or 2.13, (ii) any Bank becomes an Affected Bank as set forth in Section 2.11, (iii) any Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Bank refuses to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof that requires

48

the unanimous approval of all Banks, or the approval of each of the Banks affected thereby (in each case in accordance with Section 9.01), and the consent of the Majority Banks shall have been obtained with respect to such amendment, modification, waiver or consent (such Bank, a “Non-Consenting Bank”), the Parent shall have the right, to either (x) replace such Bank in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 2.16(b) or (y) if no Event of Default or Default then exists, terminate such Bank’s Commitment in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 2.16(c); provided that no such replacement or termination shall be effected without (A) in the case of a replacement pursuant to Section 2.16(b), the prior written consent of the Issuing Banks and Administrative Agent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, but any withholding of consent by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks based on any good faith concern of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks regarding the creditworthiness of the replacement Bank shall be deemed a reasonable withholding of consent), (B) in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 2.16(c), a simultaneous reduction of the Letters of Credit in amounts such that there is no increase in the potential exposure of any Issuing Bank that is not participated to other Banks hereunder or such other arrangement (including cash collateralization or the posting of back-to-back letters of credit) in form and substance acceptable to the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion to effect the foregoing, and (C) in the case of the replacement or termination of a Bank that is an Issuing Bank, the termination of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or such other arrangement (including cash collateralization or the posting of back-to-back letters of credit) in form and substance acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion.

(b)                                 Replacement of Banks.  If the Parent determines to replace a Bank pursuant to this Section 2.16(b), then the Parent may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate (provided that the failure by any such Bank that is a Defaulting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.06), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.13) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i)                                     the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.06;

(ii)                                  the Parent shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed or conditioned;

(iii)                               such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 9.04(b)), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Parent (in the case of all other amounts);

49

(iv)                              in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments;

(v)                                 such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(vi)                              in the case of any assignment resulting from a Bank becoming a Non-Consenting Bank, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

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

(c)                                  Termination of Bank’s Commitment.  In the event that the Parent determines to terminate a Bank’s Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.16(c), the Parent shall have the right to terminate such Bank’s Commitment and shall give notice to such Bank of the Parent’s election to terminate (a copy of such notice to be sent to the Administrative Agent), and such termination shall become effective on the date specified in such notice (which shall be 15 days after the date of such notice, provided that if the 15th day after the date of such notice is not a Business Day, the date specified in such notice shall be the first Business Day next succeeding such 15th day) unless such Bank withdraws its demand or notice for increased costs or additional amounts (if such a demand or notice is the basis for the proposed termination).  On the date of the termination of the Commitment of any Bank pursuant to this Section 2.16(c), the Borrowers shall pay all amounts owed by the Borrowers to such Bank under this Agreement and under the Note payable to such Bank (if any) (including principal of and interest on the Advances owed to such Bank, accrued fees payable to such Bank and amounts specified in such Bank’s notice and demand (if any) delivered pursuant to Sections 2.06, 2.10 or 2.13, as the case may be, with respect to the period prior to such termination) and such Bank shall thereupon cease to be a “Bank” hereunder for all purposes and its Commitment shall be deemed terminated, except that such Bank’s rights under Sections 2.06, 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04 shall continue with respect to events and occurrences occurring before or concurrently with its ceasing to be a “Bank” hereunder.

SECTION 2.17.     Certificates of Banks.  Without limitation of the requirements of Section 2.10(c), any Bank  or Issuing Bank demanding or giving notice of amounts due to such Bank or Issuing Bank under this Article II shall, as part of each demand or notice for payment required under this Article II, deliver to the Parent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount and basis of the increased costs or additional amounts payable to such Bank hereunder, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.18.     Letters of Credit.

(a)                                 Issuance.  Each Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions herein set forth, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of each Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until five Business Days before its Termination Date; provided that:

50

(i)                                     at no time shall the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceed $250,000,000;

(ii)                                  at no time shall the aggregate outstanding amount of all Letters of Credit issued by (A) Citibank, N.A. be greater than $50,000,000 or such greater amount approved by Citibank, N.A. in its sole discretion, (B) DNB Bank ASA, New York Branch be greater than $50,000,000 or such greater amount approved by DNB Bank ASA, New York Branch in its sole discretion, (C) Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch be greater than $50,000,000 or such greater amount approved by Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch in its sole discretion, (D) HSBC Bank USA, N.A. be greater than $50,000,000 or such greater amount approved by HSBC Bank USA, N.A. in its sole discretion, or (E) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association be greater than $50,000,000 or such greater amount approved by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in its sole discretion;

(iii)                               at no time shall a Letter of Credit be issued if, after giving effect thereto, any Bank’s Ratable Portion of the Letter of Credit Liabilities plus the aggregate amount of Advances owed to such Bank exceed such Bank’s Commitment;

(iv)                              no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any Governmental Requirement shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; and

(v)                                 without the consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, each Letter of Credit shall be on a sight basis only.

(b)                                 Expiration.

(i)                                     No Letter of Credit shall have a Stated Expiry Date later than the earlier of (A) one year from the date of its issuance unless the applicable Issuing Bank otherwise agrees to a later Stated Expiry Date (including without limitation by extending the Stated Expiry Date or allowing the Stated Expiry Date to be automatically extended if such Letter of Credit contains language providing for its automatic renewal) and (B) five Business Days prior to the Termination Date for the applicable Issuing Bank, unless the Borrowers have Cash Collateralized such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit as of the fifth Business Day prior to such Termination Date, plus fees and expenses related to such Letter of Credit over its remaining term.  In the case of a Letter of Credit containing language providing for its automatic renewal, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if any such automatic renewal would cause the Stated Expiry Date of such Letter of Credit to be later than five Business Days prior to the Termination Date for the applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank may give notice to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit that such automatic renewal shall not take place, unless the Borrowers have Cash Collateralized such Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.18(b)(i).

51

(ii)                                  Upon each Termination Date (other than the latest Termination Date), the Letter of Credit Liabilities of each Bank whose Commitments terminate on such Termination Date (each, a “Terminating Bank”) shall, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on such Termination Date) among the Banks whose Commitments do not terminate on such Termination Date (the “Remaining Banks”), pro rata in accordance with their respective Ratable Portions (calculated without regard to the Terminating Banks’ Commitments); provided that the sum of each Remaining Bank’s total Credit Extensions may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Remaining Bank as in effect at the time of such reallocation.  To the extent that any portion (the “Unreallocated Portion”) of the Terminating Banks’ Letter of Credit Liabilities cannot be so reallocated pursuant to this section, the Parent will, or will cause another Borrower to, on or prior to such Termination Date (i) Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Liabilities in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the Unreallocated Portion of such Letter of Credit Liabilities, or (ii) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the applicable Issuing Bank, in their sole discretion, with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(c)                                  Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension.  Each Letter of Credit shall be issued (or an outstanding Letter of Credit shall be amended, renewed or extended) on notice given by a Borrower to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (which shall give to each Bank prompt notice thereof) not later than noon on the third Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit.  Each such notice of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Letter of Credit”) shall be given in accordance with Section 9.02, in substantially the form of Exhibit C, specifying therein the requested (i) date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit is to be issued, (iii) amount of such Letter of Credit (which must be in Dollars), (iv) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (v) purpose and terms of such Letter of Credit (which shall not be to secure Debt), (vi) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (vii) Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, if applicable; provided that any notice of an amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be accompanied by the written consent of the beneficiary thereto.  Additionally, if requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Issuing Bank, an application for letter of credit on such Issuing Bank’s standard form or on another form agreed upon by such Borrower and such Issuing Bank.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the applicable Borrower to, or entered into by the applicable Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  In addition to the other conditions precedent set forth above, if any Bank becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Banks will be required to issue any Letter of Credit or to amend any outstanding Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Bank is satisfied that any exposure that would result therefrom is eliminated or fully covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or by Cash Collateralization or a combination thereof satisfactory to such Issuing Bank.

(d)                                 Letter of Credit Fees.  With respect to each Letter of Credit, the Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the applicable Issuing Bank a fronting fee in a percent per annum to be agreed

52

between the Parent and the applicable Issuing Bank at the time such Letter of Credit is issued and (ii) to the Administrative Agent a letter of credit fee (which fee shall be shared ratably by all Banks (including the Issuing Banks) based on their respective Ratable Portions) of the per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for LIBOR Advances from time to time, in each case computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed, on the maximum face amount of such Letter of Credit, from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit until the Expiration Date for such Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter and on such Expiration Date and, if applicable, on the applicable Termination Date. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Bank is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to this Section 2.18(d) (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees), provided that (x) to the extent that all or a portion of the Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.21, such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective portions of such reallocation, and (y) to the extent that all or a any portion of such Letter of Credit Liabilities cannot be so reallocated and have not been Cash Collateralized by any Borrower, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.12 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section); provided that, subject to Section 2.21(c), a Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to any fees in respect of Letters of Credit that are due and payable to such Defaulting Lender prior to it becoming a Defaulting Lender.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a Bank whose Commitment has terminated and whose participation in Letters of Credit is required to be Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 2.18(b)(ii) will not be entitled to any fees accruing pursuant to Section 2.18(d)(ii) for the period after its Commitment terminates (without prejudice to the rights of the other Banks and the relevant Issuing Bank in respect of such fees), provided that, to the extent that all or any portion of the Letter of Credit Liabilities that were held by such Bank have not been Cash Collateralized by any Borrower, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.12 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section); provided further that such Bank shall be entitled to any fees in respect of Letters of Credit that are due and payable to such Bank prior to such termination of its Commitment.  Additionally, the Borrowers agree to pay all standard administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges and reasonable costs and expenses of the applicable Issuing Bank in connection with each Letter of Credit (including mailing charges and reasonable out-of-pocket expenditures).

(e)                                  Reimbursement.  The Borrowers will immediately and unconditionally pay to the applicable Issuing Bank upon demand the amount of each payment made under any Letter of Credit.  If the Borrowers shall fail to pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amount of any such payment immediately upon demand in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (i) the amount of any unreimbursed reimbursement obligation shall be deemed to be financed with a Base Rate Borrowing on the date of such payment in an equivalent amount and the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by such resulting Base Rate Borrowing, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Bank’s Ratable Portion thereof, (iii) promptly

53

following receipt of the notice described in clause (ii), each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Ratable Portion of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(b) with respect to Advances made by such Bank and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the relevant Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Banks.   Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the relevant Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Banks and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(f)                                   Defaulting Lender.  If any Bank becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, and any Letter of Credit is at the time outstanding, the applicable Issuing Bank may (except to the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21), by notice to the Parent and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrowers to provide Cash Collateral to such Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to at least the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender to be applied pro rata in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the applicable Issuing Bank, in their sole discretion, to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.

(g)                                  Obligations Absolute.  The obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i)                                     any lack of validity, genuineness or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);

(ii)                                  any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of any Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;

(iii)                               the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the L/C Related Documents or any other transaction;

(iv)                              any statement 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;

54

(v)                                 payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vi)                              any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral for, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from, the terms of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any guarantee of all or any of the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

(vii)                           any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit.

however, this Section 2.18(g) shall not limit any right of a Borrower to make a claim against any Issuing Bank to the extent provided in Section 2.18(h).

(h)                                 Liability.  Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to the use of such Letter of Credit.  None of the Administrative Agent, the Banks, the Issuing Banks nor any of their Related Parties shall be liable or responsible for: (i) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by it against presentation of documents that do not strictly comply with the terms of the relevant Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the relevant Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit; provided that, notwithstanding clauses (i) through (iv) of this sentence, the applicable Borrower shall have a claim against the applicable Issuing Bank, and the applicable Issuing Bank shall be liable to such Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential or other, damages suffered by such Borrower that such Borrower proves (in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) were caused by (A) the applicable Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (B) the applicable Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, or (C) the applicable Issuing Bank’s failure to comply with either the ICC International Standby Practices (ISP98), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590, 1998 Revision or the ICC Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (UCP 600), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, 2007 Revision, as selected in such Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

(i)                                     Participations.  Upon the date of the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each other Bank and each other Bank shall have been deemed to have purchased from the applicable Issuing Bank a ratable participation in the

Upon the making of any payment under any Letter of Credit, each Bank (other than the applicable Issuing Bank) shall, upon notice from the applicable Issuing Bank, pay for the purchase of its participation therein by payment to the applicable Issuing Bank of funds in the amount of its participation in such payment.  Such payment shall be made on the same Business Day such notice is given if such notice is received by 12:00 noon on such Business Day, and on the next succeeding Business Day after receipt of such notice if such notice is received after 12:00 noon on any Business Day.  Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

SECTION 2.19.     Increase in Commitments.

(a)                                 Request for Increase; Additional Banks.  Provided that (i) there has been no Material Adverse Effect since the date of the most recently delivered financial statements under Section 5.01(b), (ii) no Event of Default then exists, and (iii) no Event of Default would result therefrom, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, the Parent may from time to time request and effectuate increases in the aggregate Commitments by an amount such that, after giving effect to any increase in Commitments hereunder, the aggregate Commitments of all applicable Banks that terminate on the latest Termination Date do not exceed $1,500,000,000 (the “Commitment Increase Amount”), without the consent of any Bank (other than a Bank that is increasing its Commitment in connection with such request) by adding to this Agreement one or more financial institutions as Banks or by allowing one or more existing Banks to increase their respective Commitments; provided that (w) any such increase shall be in a minimum amount of, and in increments of, $25,000,000, (x) no Bank shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment, (y) each new Bank providing a Commitment as part of any increase shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and (z) any incremental Commitments assumed pursuant to this Section 2.19 must have a maturity that is not earlier than the latest Termination Date.

(b)                                 Effective Date and Allocations.  If the aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Parent shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent and the Banks of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(c)                                  Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to each increase in the aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19, the Parent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective

56

Date (in sufficient copies for each Bank) signed by a Responsible Person of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article IV and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties that are subject to a materiality qualifier, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties that are subject to a materiality qualifier, which shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section, the representations and warranties contained in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 4.04 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to clauses (b) and (a), respectively, of Section 5.01, (2) there has been no Material Adverse Effect since the date of the most recently delivered financial statements under Section 5.01(b), and (3) no Event of Default then exists, and no Event of Default would be caused by such increase and (ii) to the extent any financial institutions are being added to this Agreement as Banks in order to provide all or a portion of such increase, if requested by the Administrative Agent, favorable customary opinions of counsel for the Borrowers, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, covering such matters relating to the increase in the aggregate Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.  The Borrowers shall prepay any Advances outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 9.04(b)) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Advances ratable with any revised Ratable Portions arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

(d)                                 Update of Representations and Warranties.  Upon and after any increase in the aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19, the representation and warranties contained in Sections 4.04(a) and (b) shall be deemed to refer to the financial statements furnished most recently prior to the Increase Effective Date, pursuant to Section 5.01(b) and (a), respectively.

(e)                                  Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.14 or 9.01 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.20.     Relationship Among Borrowers.  All obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be joint and several.  Each Borrower (other than the Parent) hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent as its agent for giving and receiving notices in connection with this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.  Any notice which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given by some or all Borrowers, or by any Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given only by the Parent, whether or not such other Borrower joins therein.  Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Parent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower.

SECTION 2.21.     Defaulting Lenders.  If a Bank becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to such Defaulting Lender:

57

(a)                                 Reallocation of Letter of Credit Liabilities.  The Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Ratable Portions (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment); provided that (i) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Credit Extensions may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation, and (ii) subject to Section 9.25, neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any other Bank may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender.

(b)                                 Cash Collateral.  To the extent that any portion (the “Unreallocated Portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in Section 2.21(a) above or otherwise, the Parent will, or will cause another Borrower to, not later than three Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the applicable Issuing Bank), (i) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers to the applicable Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit Liabilities attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the Unreallocated Portion of such Letter of Credit Liabilities, or (ii) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the applicable Issuing Bank, in their sole discretion, to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.

(c)                                  Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any amount paid by the Borrowers or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 8.15) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority:  first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks under this Agreement, ratably among them in accordance with such amounts owed, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Banks hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed disbursements made with respect to a Letter of Credit then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and seventh after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

58

(d)                                 Right to Give Drawdown Notices.  In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Bank becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized by the Parent (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02 in such amounts and at such times as may be required to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit (after giving effect to any reallocation under Section 2.21(a)) if and to the extent the Borrowers do not comply with their obligations to provide Cash Collateral under Section 2.21(b).

(e)                                  Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitment.  The Parent may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Banks thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.21(c) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(a)                                 Neither any Letter of Credit nor any part of the proceeds of the Advances will be used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in or with, or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person in any manner that would result in any violation by any Person (including any Bank, any Joint Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, or any Issuing Bank) of the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917 (50 U.S.C. app. §§ 1-44), as amended, or the statutes, regulations, rules, and executive orders administered by OFAC, or any other sanctions program administered by (x) the United States of America or the United Kingdom or (y) to the extent any such sanctions program does not contradict applicable legislation of the United States of America or the United Kingdom including without limitation applicable sanctions, embargoes, or anti boycott regulations, the European Union or the United Nations.

(d)                                 The Parent and each of its Subsidiaries has conducted its business in compliance with all applicable anti-corruption laws, including without limitation the UK Bribery Act and the FCPA, except to the extent that failure to comply with such laws could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither any Letter of Credit nor any part of the proceeds of the Advances has been or will be used, directly or indirectly, in violation of the FCPA, the UK Bribery Act, or any other applicable anti-corruption law, including for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage.

(e)                                  Except as otherwise disclosed in the Parent’s Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is the subject of any investigation, inquiry or enforcement proceedings by any governmental, administrative or regulatory body regarding any offense or alleged offense under any anti-corruption, anti-terrorism, or anti-money laundering laws in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents, and no such investigation, inquiry or proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, has been threatened.

65

equivalent) or pursuant to any assessment received by any Loan Party or any Material Subsidiary, other than (a) those Taxes contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or (b) those Taxes the non-payment of which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Loan Parties and their Material Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes are, in the opinion of the Parent, adequate to the extent required by GAAP, and no tax liabilities in excess of the amount so provided are anticipated that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
