Section 1.2 Computation of Time Periods. In this Agreement in the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to but excluding.”

Section 1.3 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, Section 2.10(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 2.10(d), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, none of the Administrative Agent and the Banks warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.10(b), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.10(c)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

ARTICLE II

LOANS

Section 2.1 Additional Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Bank, severally and not jointly, agrees to make Loans (“Additional Term Loans”) in dollars to the Company on the Initial Borrowing Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of such Bank’s Additional Commitment.

(b) Upon the occurrence of the funding of any Borrowing on or after the Effective Date, the Total Additional Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the aggregate principal amount of the Loans funded pursuant to such Borrowing, and the Additional Commitment of each Bank shall be automatically and permanently reduced according to its Applicable Percentage.

xxii

Section 2.2 Committed Borrowing Procedure on the Initial Borrowing Date. In order to effect a Committed Borrowing, the Company shall hand deliver, telecopy or e-mail to the Administrative Agent a duly completed request for Committed Borrowing, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Notice of Committed Borrowing”), (i) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, two Business Days before the Initial Borrowing Date specified for a proposed Committed Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of Alternate Base Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day which is the Initial Borrowing Date specified for a proposed Committed Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (x) whether the Loans then being requested are to be Eurodollar Loans, or Alternate Base Loans, (y) the Initial Borrowing Date of such Loans (which shall be a Business Day) and the aggregate amount thereof (which shall be in the aggregate amount of $2,333,333,333.00) and (z) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period with respect thereto (which shall not end later than the Maturity Date). If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan is specified in any such Notice of Committed Borrowing, then the Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly upon receipt, the Administrative Agent shall advise the other Banks of such Notice of Committed Borrowing and of each Bank’s portion of the requested Committed Borrowing by telecopier or e-mail. Each Committed Borrowing shall consist of Loans of the same Type made on the same day and having the same Interest Period.

Section 2.3 Conversions

Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall have the right from time to time to convert all or part of one Type of Loan into another Type of Loan or to continue all or a part of any Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan from one Interest Period to another Interest Period by giving the Administrative Agent written notice (by means of a Notice of Committed Borrowing) (i) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date specified for such proposed conversion or continuation, and (ii) in the case of Alternate Base Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day which is the date specified for such proposed conversion or continuation. Such notice shall specify (A) the proposed date for conversion or continuation, (B) the amount of the Loan to be converted or continued, (C) in the case of conversions, the Type of Loan to be converted into, and (D) in the case of a continuation of or conversion into a Eurodollar Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided that (1) Eurodollar Loans may be converted only on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (2) except for conversions to Alternate Base Loans, no conversion shall be made while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no continuations of any Eurodollar Loan from one Interest Period to another Interest Period shall be made while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless such conversion or continuation has been approved by Majority Banks, and (3) each such conversion or continuation shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000. All notices given under this Section shall be irrevocable. If the Company shall fail to give the Administrative Agent the notice as specified above for continuation or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period with respect thereto, such Eurodollar Loan shall automatically be converted into an Alternate Base Loan on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan.

Section 2.4 [Reserved].

Section 2.5 Termination and Reduction of Additional Commitments.

(a) The Company may permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Total Additional Commitment, in each case upon at least three Business Days’ prior (or, in the case of a refinancing or new facility with the Administrative Agent, on a same-day basis with) written notice

xxiii

to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly forward a copy thereof to each Bank). Such notice shall specify the date and the amount of the termination or reduction of the Total Additional Commitment. Each such partial reduction of the Total Additional Commitment shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000.

(b) On the Additional Commitment Termination Date the Total Additional Commitment shall be reduced to zero.

(c) Each reduction in the Total Additional Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be made ratably among the Banks in accordance with their respective Additional Commitments.

Section 2.6 Loans

(a) The Existing Term Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement shall constitute Loans hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Bank severally agrees to make a Loan in U.S. dollars to the Company on the Initial Borrowing Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of such Bank’s Additional Commitment. The Existing Term Loan and the Additional Term Loans shall constitute a single tranche of Loans under this Agreement following the making of the Additional Term Loans hereunder.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any Borrowing, the Total Additional Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the aggregate principal amount of the Loans funded pursuant to such Borrowing, and the Additional Commitment of each Bank shall be automatically and permanently reduced according to its Applicable Percentage of such funding.

(c) Each Loan shall be a Eurodollar Loan or an Alternate Base Loan, as the Company may request subject to and in accordance with Section 2.2 or Section 2.3, as applicable. Each Bank may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate of such Bank to make such Loan; provided, however, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Company to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or increase the Company’s obligations to such Bank hereunder. Loans of more than one interest rate option may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to request any Loan which, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than ten separate Interest Periods being outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Loans.

(d) Subject to Section 2.3, each Bank shall make its portion of the Committed Borrowing on the Initial Borrowing Date by paying the amount required to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, credit the amounts so received to the general deposit account of the Company with the Administrative Agent or, if Loans are not made on the Initial Borrowing Date because any condition precedent shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Banks as soon as practicable.

(e) The outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date; provided that, upon the occurrence of an Early Maturity Event and to the extent any Loans are outstanding, all or a portion of the outstanding Loans equal to the Applicable Early Maturity Amount related to such Early Maturity Event (or, if less, the aggregate then outstanding principal amount of Loans) shall be payable as a scheduled payment on or prior to the third Business Day following the occurrence of such Early Maturity Event (provided that to the extent any Additional Commitments are also outstanding,

xxiv

the Applicable Early Maturity Amount shall be applied (dollar for dollar) to first reduce the then outstanding Additional Commitments of the Banks in accordance with the Applicable Percentages until the Additional Commitments are reduced to zero, and then any remainder shall be applied to repay the then outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis).

Section 2.7 Loan Accounts

(a) The Loans made by each Bank shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Bank in the ordinary course of business. Absent manifest error, the loan accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Bank shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Banks to the Company and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans.

(b) Upon the request of any Bank made through the Administrative Agent, the Loans made by such Bank may be evidenced by one or more Notes, instead of or in addition to loan accounts, and upon any such request the Company shall execute and deliver such Notes to such Bank. Each such Bank shall, and is hereby authorized by the Company to, endorse on the schedule attached to the relevant Note held by such Bank (or on a continuation of such schedule attached to each such Note and made a part thereof) or in its records relating to such Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Loan of such Bank, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Loan, and the other information provided for on such schedule. The failure of any Bank to make such a notation or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Loans made by such Bank in accordance with the terms of the relevant Note.

Section 2.8 Interest on Loans

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9, each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus the Applicable Rate. Interest on each Eurodollar Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto. The applicable LIBO Rate for each Interest Period shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9, each Alternate Base Loan shall bear interest at the rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be; if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the LIBO Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days). Interest on each Alternate Base Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto. The applicable Alternate Base Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.9 Interest on Overdue Amounts. If the Company shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, the Company shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by Law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Loan, 2% above the rate otherwise applicable thereto and (ii) in all other cases, the Agreed Maximum Rate (if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate,

xxv

computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be; if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the LIBO Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days).

Section 2.10 Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:


(i)	Subject to clause (b) below, the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for dollars such Interest Period; or


(ii)	the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Banks that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for dollars and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks (or Bank) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for dollars and such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Banks by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any interest election request pursuant to Section 2.3 that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Paper, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Banks and the Company, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Banks comprising the Majority Banks; provided that, with respect to any such proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Banks shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Banks comprising the Majority Banks have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Banks accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

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

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Banks of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and

xxvi

(iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Banks pursuant to this Section 2.10, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.10.

(e) Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, any interest election request pursuant to Section 2.3 that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective.

Section 2.11 Prepayment of Loans

(a) The Company shall have the right at any time to prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of Section 2.14 or Section 2.15 but otherwise without premium or penalty, upon at least three Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that each such partial prepayment (other than any prepayment as a result of the consummation of a Capital Markets Transaction) shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Company to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein.

(b) [reserved].

(c) All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment. Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.11 may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.12 Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement any Regulatory Change or change in any Law (i) shall subject the Administrative Agent or a Bank to any Taxes (other than (w) Indemnified Taxes, (x) Taxes described in clauses (c) and (e) of Excluded Taxes, (y) Other Taxes and (z) Other Connection Taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (ii) shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement with respect to any Eurodollar Loan against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, such Bank under this Agreement, or (iii) with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, shall impose on such Bank or the Eurodollar Interbank Market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loan made by such Bank, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to materially increase the actual cost to such Bank (or such Administrative Agent in the case of (i)) of maintaining its Additional Commitment or of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or to materially reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or such Administrative Agent in the case of (i)) hereunder (whether of principal, interest, or otherwise) in respect thereof, then the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank (or such Administrative Agent in the case of (i)), within ten days following delivery to the Company of the certificate specified in paragraph (c) below by such Bank (or such Administrative Agent in the case of (i)), such additional amount or amounts as will reimburse such Bank (or such Administrative Agent in the case

xxvii

of (i)) for such increase or reduction to such Bank (or such Administrative Agent in the case of (i)) to the extent reasonably allocable to this Agreement.

(b) If any Bank shall have determined in good faith that any Regulatory Change regarding capital or liquidity requirements or compliance by any Bank (or its parent or any lending office of such Bank) with any request or directive issued subsequent to the Effective Date regarding capital or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of Law) of any Tribunal, monetary authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s (or its parent’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its parent) could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank, within ten days following delivery to the Company of the certificate specified in paragraph (d) below by such Bank, such additional amount or amounts as will reimburse such Bank (or its parent) for such reduction.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a Regulatory Change and a change in Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(d) Each Bank or the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of any event occurring after the date hereof entitling such Bank to compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 (together with a good faith estimate of the amounts it would be entitled to claim in respect of such event) as promptly as practicable, but in any event on or before the date which is 60 days after the related Regulatory Change, change in any Law or other event; provided that (i) if such Bank or the Administrative Agent fails to give such notice by such date, such Bank or the Administrative Agent shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 in respect of any costs resulting from such Regulatory Change, change in any Law or other event, only be entitled to payment under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 for costs incurred from and after the date of such notice and (ii) such Bank or the Administrative Agent will take such reasonable actions, if any (including the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Bank affected by such event) to avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation so long as such actions will not, in the reasonable opinion of such Bank or the Administrative Agent, be materially disadvantageous to such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. A certificate of a Bank or the Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail (i) the Regulatory Change, change in any Law or other event giving rise to any costs, (ii) such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to reimburse such Bank or the Administrative Agent as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12, as the case may be, and (iii) the calculation of such amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly after such Bank or the Administrative Agent determines it is entitled to payment under this Section 2.12, and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. In preparing such certificate, such Bank or the Administrative Agent may employ such assumptions and allocations of costs and expenses as it shall in good faith deem reasonable and may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method.

(e) In the event any Bank shall seek payment pursuant to this Section 2.12 or the events contemplated under Section 2.10 or Section 2.13 shall have occurred with respect to any Bank, the Company

xxviii

shall have the right to replace such Bank with, and add as “Banks” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more assignees as provided in Section 2.23(b).

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligations of the Company hereunder, the obligations of the Company under this Section 2.12 shall survive for one year after the termination of this Agreement and/or the payment or assignment of any of the Loans or Notes.

Section 2.13 Change in Legality

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if any Regulatory Change shall make it unlawful for any Bank to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations in respect of Eurodollar Loans as contemplated hereby, then, by prompt written notice to the Company and to the Administrative Agent, such Bank may:

(i) declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter be made by such Bank hereunder, whereupon the Company shall be prohibited from requesting Eurodollar Loans from such Bank hereunder unless such declaration is subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) if such unlawfulness shall be effective prior to the end of any Interest Period of an outstanding Eurodollar Loan, require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans with such Interest Periods made by it be converted to Alternate Base Loans, in which event (A) all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to Alternate Base Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below and (B) all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the converted Eurodollar Loans shall instead be applied to repay the Alternate Base Loans resulting from the conversion of such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.13, a notice to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) by any Bank pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be effective on the date of receipt thereof by the Company. Any Bank having furnished such a notice agrees to withdraw the same promptly following any Regulatory Change that makes it lawful for such Bank to make and maintain Eurodollar Loans.

(c) If, with respect to any Bank, a condition arises or an event occurs which would, or would upon the giving of notice, result in the payment of amounts pursuant to Section 2.12 or permit such Bank, pursuant to this Section 2.13, to suspend its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, such Bank, promptly upon becoming aware of the same, shall notify the Company thereof and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it (including, without limitation, changing its Applicable Lending Office) to mitigate the effects of such condition or event, provided that such Bank shall be under no obligation to take any step that, in its good faith opinion, would (a) result in its incurring any additional costs in performing its obligations hereunder and under any outstanding Loan (unless the Company has notified such Bank of the Company’s agreement to reimburse it for the same) or (b) be otherwise adverse to such Bank in a material respect.

Section 2.14 Indemnity. The Company shall indemnify each Bank against any loss or reasonable expense which such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any failure by the Company to fulfill on the date of any Borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, (b) any failure by the Company to borrow hereunder after a Notice of Committed Borrowing pursuant to Article II has been given, (c) any payment, prepayment, or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan

xxix

required by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period for any reason, including without limitation the acceleration of outstanding Loans as a result of any Event of Default or (d) any failure by the Company for any reason (including without limitation the existence of a Default or an Event of Default) to pay, prepay or convert a Eurodollar Loan on the date for such payment, prepayment or conversion, specified in the relevant notice of payment, prepayment or conversion under this Agreement. The indemnity of the Company pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall include, but not be limited to, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a Eurodollar Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by each Bank of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, or converted or not borrowed, paid, prepaid or converted (based on the LIBO Rate) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, or conversion or failure to borrow, pay, prepay or convert to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, pay, prepay or convert, the Interest Period for the Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, pay, prepay or convert) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Bank) that would be realized by such Bank in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid, or converted or not borrowed, paid, prepaid or converted for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of each Bank setting forth any amount or amounts and, in reasonable detail, the computations thereof, which such Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive, if made in good faith, absent manifest error. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank the amount shown as due on any certificate within 30 days after its receipt of the same. The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the payment or assignment of any of the Loans or Notes.

Section 2.15 Pro Rata Treatment. Except as permitted under Section 2.12(d) and Section 2.14 with respect to interest, (a) each payment or prepayment of principal and each payment of interest with respect to the Loans shall be made pro rata among the Banks in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans extended by each Bank, and (b) conversions of Loans to Loans of another Type, continuations of Loans that are Eurodollar Loans from one Interest Period to another Interest Period, and Loans which are not refinancings of other Loans shall be made pro rata among the Banks in accordance the respective principal amounts of the Loans extended by each Bank.

Section 2.16 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Bank agrees that if it shall through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff, or counterclaim against the Company (pursuant to Section 9.6 or otherwise), including, but not limited to, a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Bank under any applicable Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of the Loans held by it (other than pursuant to Section 2.12, or Section 2.14) as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of the Loans held by it shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans held by any other Bank, it shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased from such other Bank a participation in the Loans held by such other Bank, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans pursuant to this Section 2.16 held by each Bank shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of the Loans held by it prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff, or counterclaim was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff, or counterclaim; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.16 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored

without interest. The Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Bank holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff, or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Company to such Bank as fully as if such Bank had made a Loan directly to the Company in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.17 Payments

(a) The Company shall make each payment hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due in dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office for the account of the Banks, in federal or other immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal of or interest on Loans (other than pursuant to Section 2.12, and Section 2.14) ratably to the Banks and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Bank to such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder or under any Note 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 all such cases be included in the computation of payment of interest; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of a Eurodollar Loan to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Company will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company has made or will make 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 the Company 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 Effective Rate.

Section 2.18 Taxes. (a) Each payment by the Company under this Agreement or any Loan Papers shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by applicable Law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the amounts received with respect to this Agreement equal the amount which would have received had no such withholding been made.

(a) The Company shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return

xxxi

reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(c) The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Bank, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including, without limitation, any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.18) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Bank (or its beneficial owner), as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive, if made in good faith, absent manifest error.

(d) Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes attributable to such Bank that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, and 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, but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so. 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. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no double recovery under this paragraph where the indemnified party has been indemnified for the same loss under a separate provision of the agreement.

(e) (i) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any applicable withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Papers shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such forms (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.18(f)(ii)(A) through (E) below or any successor or substantially similar or comparable documentation thereto) shall not be required if in the Bank’s good faith judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (or, in the case of a change in Law, any incremental material unreimbursed cost or expense), unless indemnified by the Company in an amount reasonably satisfactory to such Bank, or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank. If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Bank, such Bank shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Bank that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Bank”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company 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

xxxii

Foreign Bank becomes a lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:


(A)	duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;


(B)	duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;

(C)

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 F-1 to the effect that (i) such Foreign Bank is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, and (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (ii) the interest payments in question are not effectively connected with the United States trade or business conducted by such Bank (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable;

(D)

to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Bank is a partnership or participating Bank granting a typical participation), an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or F-3 (as applicable), Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Bank is a partnership (and not a participating Bank) and one or more beneficial owners 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 F-4 on behalf of each such beneficial owner; or


(E)	any other form prescribed by Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Company to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.


	(iii) If a payment made to a Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Papers 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 1

xxxiii

471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank has or has not 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 Section 2.18(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include all amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.18 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.18), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall promptly repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.18(g) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.18(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) The provisions of this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the payment or assignment of any of the Loans or Notes.

(h) For purposes of this Section 2.18, the term “Bank” includes the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

Section 2.19 Calculation of LIBO Rates. The provisions of this Agreement relating to calculation of the LIBO Rate are included only for the purpose of determining the rate of interest or other amounts to be paid hereunder that are based upon such rate, it being understood that each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of a Eurodollar Loan as it sees fit. All such determinations hereunder, however, shall be made as if each Bank had actually funded and maintained funding of each Eurodollar Loan through the purchase in the Eurodollar InterBank Market of one or more eurodollar deposits in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Loan and having a maturity corresponding to the Interest Period for such Loan.

Section 2.20 Booking Loans. Subject to Section 2.18, any Bank may make, carry, or, transfer Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of any Affiliate.

Section 2.21 Quotation of Rates. It is hereby acknowledged that the Company may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which notice of a Borrowing,

xxxiv

continuation or conversion is to be delivered by the Company in order to receive an indication of the rate or rates then in effect, but that such projection shall not be binding upon the Administrative Agent or any Bank nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

Section 2.22 Defaulting Banks. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, the Administrative Agent shall deliver written notice to such effect, upon the Administrative Agent’s obtaining knowledge of such event, to the Company and such Defaulting Bank, and the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(a) [Reserved].

(b) The Additional Commitment and outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether all Banks or the Majority Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.1), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank which would increase or extend the term of the Additional Commitment or the Maturity Date of Loans of such Defaulting Bank or which affects such Defaulting Bank differently than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank.

(c) Any amount payable to such Defaulting Bank hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.16, but excluding amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.23) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Bank, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iii) third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (iv) fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (v) fifth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided, with respect to this clause (v), that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in clauses (c)-(e) of Section 4.1 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Banks pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Bank.

In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Company each agrees that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank or upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the confirmation referred to in clause (c) of the definition of “Defaulting Bank”, as applicable, then on such date such Bank shall purchase at par such portion of the Loans of the other Banks as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order to cause the Banks to hold Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Additional Commitments; provided that no adjustments shall be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued while such Bank was a Defaulting Bank.

xxxv

Section 2.23 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Banks.

(a) If any Bank requests compensation under Section 2.12 or Section 2.18, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.18, then such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.18 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Bank requests compensation under Section 2.12 or Section 2.18, (ii) the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.18, (iii) an event contemplated under Section 2.10 or Section 2.13 shall have occurred with respect to any Bank or (iv) any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, in each case, the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (except for certain customary representations and warranties, in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.10), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or Section 2.18 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. 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 Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.24 Incremental Term Loans.

(a) Company Request. The Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request an increase to the existing term loan facility under this Agreement in an amount not less than $50,000,000 individually and not to exceed the applicable Incremental Amount from one or more Incremental Banks (which may include any existing Bank) willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans in their sole discretion; provided that each Incremental Bank (which is not an existing Bank) shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date of funding of such Incremental Term Loan (each date of funding, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which such proposed Incremental Term Loan is funded, which shall be a date not less than three (3) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such lesser period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) and (ii) the identity of each proposed lender of each such Incremental Term Loan and the amount thereof (each provider of an Incremental Term Loan referred to herein as an “Incremental Bank”); provided that (x) any existing Bank approached to provide all or a portion of any proposed Incremental Term Loan may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Term Loan

xxxvi

and (y) there shall be no obligation of the Company to approach any existing Bank with respect to any Incremental Term Loan.

(b) Conditions. Each Incremental Term Loan is subject to the following conditions precedent on the Increase Effective Date:

(i) all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Papers shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as the funding of such Incremental Term Loan (both immediately before and immediately after giving effect thereto) with the same effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date and in such case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such dates; provided that any representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality, “Material Adverse Change” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects, as though made on and as of the applicable date, immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the Borrowings to be made on such Increase Effective Date; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that no Default or Event of Default in respect of Section 6.12 shall have occurred and be continuing nor result from the making of such Borrowing on and as of the applicable Increase Effective Date, without giving effect to any Collateral Coverage Test Cure Period; and

(iii) after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans, the aggregate amount of the Existing Term Loans, the Initial Term Loans and the Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.24 during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed $3,750,000,000.

(c) Terms of Incremental Term Loans. The terms and provisions of Incremental Term Loans shall be identical to the existing Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, Incremental Term Loans are intended to be fully fungible with the Existing Term Loans and any Additional Term Loans. Prior to any funding of Incremental Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall have received a Notice of Borrowing, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with respect to such Borrowing, (i) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, two Business Days before the borrowing date specified for a proposed Borrowing (or such lesser period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent), and (ii) in the case of Alternate Base Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day which is the borrowing date specified for a proposed Borrowing (or such lesser period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (x) whether the Loans then being requested are to be Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Loans, (y) the initial borrowing date of such Incremental Term Loans (which shall be a Business Day) and the aggregate amount thereof and (z) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period with respect thereto (which shall not end later than the Maturity Date). If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan is specified in any such Notice of Borrowing, then the Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly upon receipt, the Administrative Agent shall advise the other Banks of such Notice of Borrowing and of each Bank’s portion of the requested Committed Borrowing by telecopier or e-mail. Each Committed Borrowing shall consist of Loans of the same Type made on the same day and having the same Interest Period.

xxxvii

The Incremental Term Loans shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Bank making such Incremental Term Loan, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Banks and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Papers as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to effect the provisions of this ‎Section 2.24. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Papers to Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Incremental Term Loans established pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall constitute Loans under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Papers and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the security interests created by the Aircraft Mortgage.

(b) The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement and the other Loan Papers to which it is a party and to borrow hereunder;

(c) On the Effective Date, the Company and each of its Material Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign Person to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction where the character of its Properties or nature of its activities make such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and

The Company or any Material Subsidiary shall (i) fail to pay any principal of or interest on any Debt (other than the Obligation) the principal or face amount of which exceeds $50,000,000 when due (or, where permitted, within any applicable grace period), whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise and such default continues unremedied for five Business Days after such due date or applicable grace period, or (ii) fail to perform or observe any other provision (other than a provision that is substantially identical to a provision in this Agreement) contained in any agreement securing or relating to such Debt (or any other breach or default under such Debt agreement occurs) if the effect of such failure to perform or observe such other provisions (or breach or default) is to cause such Debt to become due prior to its stated maturity; provided, however, that if any such failure, breach or default shall be waived or cured (as evidenced by a writing from such holder or trustee) then, to the extent of such waiver or cure, the Event of Default hereunder by reason of such failure, breach or default shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon waived or cured.

(f) ERISA. Any “Reportable Event” as such term is defined in ERISA under any Plan, or the appointment by an appropriate Tribunal of a trustee to administer any Plan, or the termination of any Plan within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, and any of the foregoing results in a material liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation; or any Plan fails to satisfy the “minimum funding standards” of ERISA or is determined to be in “at risk” status (within the meaning of ERISA).

(g) Misrepresentation. Any representation or warranty made by the Company is untrue in any material respect, or any certificate, schedule, statement, report, notice or writing (excluding any Appraisal, for which the Company makes no representation) furnished by the Company to the Administrative Agent or to the Banks, or any of them, is untrue in any material respect on the date as of which the facts set forth are stated or certified, shall remain material at the time of discovery and shall, if curable, remain incorrect in any material respect after 30 days after written notice thereof to the Company (it being understood that any failure by the Company to include within any such schedule, statement, report, notice, or writing any information the omission of which would cause the material included to be misleading shall be as much an untruth as a false statement contained therein).

Section 7.2 Remedies Upon Default. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.l(c) occurs, the obligation of each Bank to make Loans hereunder shall thereupon automatically terminate (unless previously terminated) and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of and accrued interest on the Obligation shall thereupon become due and payable concurrently therewith, without any action by the Administrative Agent or any Bank and without diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or intent to accelerate, or notice of any other kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, should any other Event of Default occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and if requested by the Majority Banks, shall, do any one or more of the following:

(a) Acceleration. Declare (by written notice to the Company) the entire unpaid balance of the Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and the other Obligation, or any part thereof, immediately due and payable, whereupon it shall be due and payable, without diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or intent to accelerate, or other notice of any kind (except any notice or demand specified in this Agreement), all of which are hereby expressly waived.

(b) Termination. Terminate the Additional Commitments by written notice to the Company (unless previously terminated).

(d) Rights. Exercise any and all legal and equitable Rights available to it (including all remedies under the Cape Town Treaty including, without limitation, Article 13 of the Cape Town Convention).

In addition to any other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent and the Banks in the Loan Papers, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Company (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or consent to the use by the Company of any cash collateral arising in respect of the Collateral on such terms as the Administrative Agent deems reasonable, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf of the Banks, the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Bank or elsewhere, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, all without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Bank shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Company, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Subject to the succeeding paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Article VII, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any other way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Banks hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the obligations of the Company under the Loan Papers, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Company. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Bank arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

Any payment received after acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 7.2 shall be applied (1) first, towards payment of fees and expenses then due under Section 9.4 and amounts pursuant to a Loan Paper payable to the Administrative Agent, (2) second, towards payment of fees and expenses then due under Section 9.4 and Section ‎9.5 and amounts pursuant to a Loan Paper payable to the Banks and towards payment of interest then due on account of the Loans, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such fees and expenses and interest then due to such parties, (3) third, towards payment of principal of the Loans then due hereunder ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties, (4) fourth, towards payment of any other Obligations then due hereunder in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties and (5) fifth, all remaining amounts after payment in full of the Obligations shall be promptly returned to the Company.

Section 7.3 Remedies in General. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may immediately proceed to protect and enforce all or any Rights with respect thereto contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Papers or may enforce any other legal or equitable Rights. Any Right may be exercised from time to time, independently or concurrently, and as often as shall be deemed expedient. No waiver of any Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 8.1 Authorization and Action. Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to act as its Administrative Agent and collateral agent hereunder and under each of the other Loan Papers. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. consents to such appointment as Administrative Agent and agrees to perform the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Papers. Each Bank authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to act on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereto, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Loan Papers (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Loans or Notes), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Banks, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Banks and all holders of Loans or Notes; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable Law.

Section 8.2 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. None of the Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Papers (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Banks (or all the Banks, if required) or (ii) in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (it being the express intention of the parties that the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents, and employees shall have no liability for actions and omissions under this Section 8.2 resulting from their ordinary contributory negligence). Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of each Loan or Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Company), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Bank and shall not be responsible to any Bank for any statements, warranties, or representations made by or on behalf of the Company in or in connection with any Loan Paper; (iv) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of any Loan Paper or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (v) shall have no responsibility to ensure the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, (vi) shall not be responsible to any Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, or value of any Loan Paper or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (vii) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Paper by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier or e-mail) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; and (viii) may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.

Section 8.3 Rights of the Administrative Agent as Bank. With respect to their Additional Commitments and the Loans, if any, made by them and the Notes, if any, issued to them, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement or any other Loan Paper as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Company, any of the Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Company or of the Subsidiaries, all as if such Bank were not the Administrative Agent, and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

Section 8.4 Bank Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank and based on the Current Financials and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

xlvi

Section 8.5 Administrative Agent’s Indemnity. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or the Loans or Notes unless indemnified to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction by the Banks against loss, cost, liability, and expense. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent shall become impaired, it may call for additional indemnity and cease to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is given. In addition, the Banks severally but not jointly agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Loans and Additional Commitments then held by each of them; provided that, in the case of Section 2.22, when a Defaulting Bank shall exist, any such Defaulting Bank’s Additional Commitment shall be disregarded in the calculation, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Papers (including, without limitation, any action taken or omitted under Article II of this Agreement); provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Bank agrees, however, that it expressly intends, under this Section 8.5, to indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably as aforesaid for all such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, and disbursements arising out of or resulting from the Administrative Agent’s ordinary or contributory negligence. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, administration, or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Loan Papers to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company. The provisions of this Section 8.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the payment or assignment of any of the Loans or Notes.

Section 8.6 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the Company and may be removed as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Papers at any time with or without cause by the Majority Banks. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Banks shall have the right, with the consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of the Company (provided that the Company’s consent shall not be required during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 calendar days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation or the Majority Banks’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, with the consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of the Company (provided that the Company’s consent shall not be required during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default), appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the Laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Papers by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Papers; provided that solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Loan Paper for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Loan Paper, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section 8.6 (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Loan Paper, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Papers, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Papers.

Section 8.7 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Banks; provided, however, if such notice is received from a Bank, the Administrative Agent also shall give notice thereof to the Company. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to take action or refrain from taking action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2.

Section 8.8 Collateral Matters. (a) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.6 or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Papers may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Paper to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.13. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by the Company in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Banks or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 9.3 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any Right hereunder or under any other Loan Paper shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such Right, or any abandonment or discontinuance of any steps to enforce such Right, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other Right. No notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. The Rights herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any Rights provided by Law.

The Company agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for paying: (i) all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with (A) the preparation, execution, delivery, and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Papers, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative

xlix

The obligations of the Company under this Section 9.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or repayment of the Loans.

Section 9.5 Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Banks and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, deficiencies, expenses, and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, any Bank, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Papers, any transaction related hereto, or any act, omission, or transaction of the Company, its Subsidiaries, and Affiliates, or any of their employees, officers, directors or other representatives, to the extent that any of the same results, directly or indirectly, from any claims made or actions, suits, or proceedings commenced by or on behalf of any person other than the Administrative Agent or a Bank.

The obligation of the Company under this section shall continue for a period of one year after payment of the Obligation and termination of any or all Loan Papers, and SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY OR CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY BANK;

provided, however, that (i) although each indemnified party shall have the right to be indemnified from its own ordinary negligence, no indemnified party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith to the extent found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) the indemnity set forth in this Section 9.5 shall not apply to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, deficiencies, expenses or disbursements resulting from a proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Company or any of its affiliates and that is brought by an indemnified party against any other indemnified party (other than claims against the Administrative Agent in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Papers).

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any indemnified party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Papers or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

Section 9.6 Right of Setoff. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, each Bank and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to

time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Company against any and all obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Loans held by such Bank or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Bank or Affiliate, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The Rights of each Bank under this Section 9.6 are in addition to the Rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other Rights of setoff) which such Bank may have.

Section 9.7 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 9.8 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Papers to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Paper or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may (and any such claims, cross-claims or third party claims brought against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors may only) be heard and determined in such Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Company, as the case may be at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.9 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained herein or made in writing by the Company in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Papers, and no investigation

by the Administrative Agent or any Bank or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the Right of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to rely upon them.

Section 9.10 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent, and each Bank and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company (subject to the provisions of Section 9.11), the Administrative Agent, each Bank and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.11 Successors and Assigns; Participations

(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises, agreements, representations and warranties by or on behalf of the Company, the Administrative Agent or the Banks that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. Except for any assignment or transfer by the Company of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Successor Company in accordance with Section 6.14, the Company may not assign or transfer any its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Banks.

(b) Each Bank may without the consent of the Company sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Additional Commitment or the Loans owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Bank shall remain the holder of its Loans and Notes (if any) for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the cost protection provisions contained in Article II and Section 9.4, but only to the extent that such protection would have been available to such Bank, calculated as if no such participations had been sold, and the indemnity protection provisions contained in Section 9.5, (v) the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (vi) such Bank shall not sell a participation that conveys to the participant the right to vote or give or withhold consents under this Agreement or any other Loan Papers, other than the right to vote upon or consent to (y) amendments, modifications, or waivers with respect to any fees payable hereunder (including the dates fixed for the payment of any such fees) or the amount of principal or the rate of interest payable on, or the dates fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on, the Loans and (z) any extension of the Maturity Date. Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that an Additional Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(c) Each Bank may assign to one or more Persons (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Bank or the Company or any of its Affiliates), all or a portion of its interests, rights, and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Additional Commitment or, if the

lii

Additional Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such assignment, if not to a Bank or an Eligible Affiliate Assignee of the assigning Bank shall be consented to by the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required after the occurrence or during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default), the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) each Bank’s Additional Commitment or Loans to be assigned shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless (x) otherwise agreed by the Company and the Administrative Agent, (y) in the case of the assigning Bank, such amount is reduced to zero pursuant to such assignment or (z) the assignment is to a Bank, (iii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) the assignee thereof shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent any Internal Revenue Service forms required by Section 2.18, and (v) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an Assignment and Assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (an “Assignment and Assumption”), together with a properly completed Administrative Questionnaire, any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (or such lesser amount as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided, however, no such fee shall be required in the case of any assignment requested by the Company pursuant to Article II of this Agreement. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance, and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof (unless a shorter period shall be agreed to by the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the assignor Bank), (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and under the other Loan Papers and (y) the assignor Bank thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Papers (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Papers, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto).

(d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the Bank assignor thereunder and the assignee confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than the representations and warranties that (x) it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby, (y) the interest being assigned thereby is free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim and (z) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, such Bank assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties, or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Paper or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Paper or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such Bank assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Company or the performance or observance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Paper or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement together with copies of financial information and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such Bank assignor, or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on behalf of such assignee and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Papers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent

liii

by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Additional Commitment of, or principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, any Bank or the Administrative Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and the written consent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been completed and is substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Company. Within five Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Company, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes, if any, (x) a new Note or Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to its portion of the Loan assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and (y) if the assigning Bank has retained any Loan hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Loan retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Notes. Such new Notes shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto. Cancelled Notes shall be returned to the Company.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, any Bank may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.11 (or in connection with any swap, derivative, securitization or credit insurance relating to the Company and its obligations), disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant (or to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any such swap, derivative or securitization) any information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries furnished to such Bank by or on behalf of the Company; provided, that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant (or any such counterparty (and its advisor)) shall agree for the benefit of the Company to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Company received from such Bank.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

Section 9.12 Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Bank agrees to keep confidential all Information (as defined below); provided that nothing herein shall prevent

liv

the Administrative Agent or any Bank from disclosing any such Information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any affiliate thereof, (b) as permitted by Section 9.11(g), (c) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates in each case on a need-to-know basis, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Bank’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Bank, (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Paper, or (j) if agreed by the Company in its sole discretion, to any other Person. “Information” means all information received from the Company relating to the Company or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that in the case of information received from the Company after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each Bank acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Papers may include material non-public information concerning the Company and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Company or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Papers will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Bank represents to the Company and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

Section 9.13 Independence of Covenants. All covenants contained in this Agreement shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any such covenants, the fact that such action or condition would be permitted by an exception to, or otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 9.14 Severability. Should any clause, sentence, paragraph, or Section of this Agreement be judicially declared to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, such decision will not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, and the parties hereto agree that the part or parts of this Agreement so held to be invalid, unenforceable, or void will be deemed to have been stricken herefrom and the remainder will have the same force and effectiveness as if such part or parts had never been included herein.

Section 9.15 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Papers represent the entire agreement of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Banks with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Bank relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Papers.

Section 9.16 Descriptive Headings. The section headings appearing in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall be given no substantive meaning or significance whatever in construing the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.17 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures (in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

Section 9.18 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE COMPANY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN PAPER AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

Section 9.19 No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Bank and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Banks”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Company, its stockholders and/or its affiliates. The Company agrees that nothing in the Loan Papers or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Bank, on the one hand, and the Company, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Papers (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Banks, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Bank has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Bank has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Company, its stockholders or its affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Papers and (y) each Bank is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Company, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Company acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Company agrees that it will not claim that any Bank has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to it, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 9.20 USA Patriot Act. Each Bank hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each borrower, guarantor or grantor (the “Loan Parties”), which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Bank to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Company agrees to provide such information as each Bank or the Administrative Agent reasonably requests in order to perform its "know your customer" due diligence.

Section 9.21 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Paper or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Paper, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 9.22 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Bank holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable to such Bank in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Bank in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable to such Bank in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Bank in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Bank.

Section 9.23 Amendment and Restatement. Upon the Effective Date, this Agreement shall amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement, but shall not constitute a novation thereof or in any way impair or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the parties thereunder (including with respect to Loans and representations and warranties made thereunder) except as such rights or obligations are amended or modified hereby. All Loans and Obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as Loans and Obligations under (and shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement and the other Loan Papers, and all documents, instruments and agreements delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement not amended and restated in connection with the entry of the parties into this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, each in accordance with its terms, as of the date of delivery or such other date as contemplated by such document, instrument or agreement to the same extent as if the modifications to the Existing Credit Agreement contained herein were set forth in an amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement in a customary form, unless such document, instrument or agreement has otherwise been terminated or has expired in accordance with or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement or such document, instrument or agreement or as otherwise agreed by the required parties hereto or thereto.
