Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Swingline Borrowing”) shall be given in the form of Exhibit B-2, shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the principal amount of the Swingline Loan to be made pursuant to such Borrowing (which shall be $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $500,000 (or, if less, in the amount of the Unused Swingline Commitment)) and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day. Not later than 3:00 p.m., on the requested Borrowing Date, the Swingline Bank will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to the amount of the requested Swingline Loan. To the extent the Swingline Bank has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent as provided hereinabove, the Administrative Agent will make such amount available to the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 2.03(a) and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. No Swingline Loan may be used to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan.
(d) With respect to any outstanding Swingline Loans, the Swingline Bank may at any time (whether or not a Default has occurred and is continuing) in its sole and absolute discretion, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the applicable Borrower to, cause a Borrowing of Revolving Loans to be made for the purpose of repaying such Swingline Loans by delivering to the Administrative Agent (if the Administrative Agent is not also the Swingline Bank) and each other Bank (on behalf of, and with a copy to, the applicable Borrower), not later than 11:00 a.m.,
33

one Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date therefor, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing given by the applicable Borrower) requesting the Banks to make Revolving Loans (which shall be made initially as Base Rate Loans) on such Borrowing Date in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given that the Swingline Bank requests to be repaid. Not later than 1:00 p.m., on the requested Borrowing Date, each Bank (other than the Swingline Bank) will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to its Pro Rata Share of the requested Refunded Swingline Loans. To the extent the Banks have made such amounts available to the Administrative Agent as provided hereinabove, the Administrative Agent will make the aggregate of such amounts available to the Swingline Bank in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent, which shall apply such amounts in repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, on the relevant Borrowing Date, the Refunded Swingline Loans (including the Swingline Bank’s ratable share thereof, in its capacity as a Bank) shall be deemed to be repaid with the proceeds of the Revolving Loans made as provided above (including a Revolving Loan deemed to have been made by the Swingline Bank), and such Refunded Swingline Loans deemed to be so repaid shall no longer be outstanding as Swingline Loans but shall be outstanding as Revolving Loans. If any portion of any such amount repaid (or deemed to be repaid) to the Swingline Bank shall be recovered by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower from the Swingline Bank in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be shared ratably among all the Banks in the manner contemplated by Section 2.14(c).
(e) If, as a result of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower, Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.02(d) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swingline Bank in respect of any outstanding Swingline Loans, or if the Swingline Bank is otherwise precluded for any reason from giving a notice on behalf of the applicable Borrower as provided for hereinabove, the Swingline Bank shall be deemed to have sold without recourse, representation or warranty (except for the absence of Liens thereon created, incurred or suffered to exist by, through or under the Swingline Bank), and each Bank shall be deemed to have purchased and hereby agrees to purchase, a participation in such outstanding Swingline Loans in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the unpaid amount thereof together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s prior notice from the Swingline Bank, each Bank (other than the Swingline Bank) will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to its respective participation. To the extent the Banks have made such amounts available to the Administrative Agent as provided hereinabove, the Administrative Agent will make the aggregate of such amounts available to the Swingline Bank in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. In the event any such Bank fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Bank’s participation as provided in this Section 2.02(e), the Swingline Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is required to be made available for the account of the Swingline Bank until the date such amount is made available to the Swingline Bank at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Bank in
34

connection with the foregoing. Promptly following its receipt of any payment by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower in respect of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Bank will pay to each Bank that has acquired a participation therein such Bank’s ratable share of such payment.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of each Bank (other than the Swingline Bank) to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.02(d) and each such Bank’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.02(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance or event whatsoever, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Bank may have against the Swingline Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, (iii) the failure of the amount of such Borrowing of Revolving Loans to meet the minimum Borrowing amount specified in Section 2.02(a), or (iv) the failure of any conditions set forth in Section 4.02 or elsewhere herein to be satisfied.
2.03 Disbursements; Funding Reliance; Domicile of Loans.
(a) Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Borrowing it makes in accordance with the terms of any written instructions from any Authorized Officer of such Borrower; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated under any circumstances to forward amounts to any account not listed in an Account Designation Letter. Any Borrower may at any time deliver to the Administrative Agent an Account Designation Letter listing any additional accounts or deleting any accounts listed in a previous Account Designation Letter.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 or 3.02(f), as applicable, and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Bank has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Bank and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Bank, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the Adjusted Base Rate. If such Borrower and such Bank shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Bank pays its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to
35

any claim such Borrower may have against a Bank that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(c) The obligations of the Banks hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04 are several and not joint. The failure of any Bank to make any such Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any such payment on any date shall not relieve any other Bank of its corresponding obligation, if any, hereunder to do so on such date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to so make its Loan, purchase its participation or to make any such payment required hereunder.
(d) Each Bank may, at its option, make and maintain any Loan at, to or for the account of any of its Applicable Lending Offices; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan to or for the account of such Bank or otherwise to make payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) In the event that the Parent has made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election and thereafter any Borrower requests a Revolving Loan, such Revolving Loan shall, subject to the other terms and provisions hereof, be advanced, first, by those Non-NAIC Banks that do not participate in the issuance, renewal, extension or amendment of one or more Syndicated Letters of Credit as the result of such Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election until, after giving effect thereto, the Credit Exposure owing to the Banks are held by the Banks in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, and, second, by the Banks (including such Non-NAIC Banks) in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Exposure of such Bank shall not exceed the Commitment of such Bank notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.03(e).
2.04 Evidence of Debt; Notes.
(a) Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to the Applicable Lending Office of such Bank resulting from the Credit Extensions made by such Applicable Lending Office of such Bank from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Applicable Lending Office of such Bank from time to time under this Agreement.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.07(d), and a subaccount for each Bank, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount (and stated interest) of each Loan, the Type of each such Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the date and amount(and stated interest) of each applicable Reimbursement Obligation, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the applicable Borrower to each Bank hereunder in respect of each such Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the applicable Borrower and each Bank’s Pro Rata Share thereof.
36

(c) The entries made in the Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.04(b) (and, if consistent with the entries of the Administrative Agent, the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.04(a)) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be conclusive evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the applicable Borrower therein recorded absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement.
(d) The Loans made by each Bank shall, if requested by the applicable Bank (which request shall be made to the Administrative Agent), be evidenced by (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, a Revolving Note and (ii) in the case of the Swingline Loans, a Swingline Note, in each case executed by each Borrower and payable to such Bank. Each Note shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be subject to the provisions hereof and thereof.
2.05 Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.
(a) The Commitments shall automatically and permanently terminate on the Maturity Date. The Swingline Commitment shall automatically and permanently terminate on the Swingline Maturity Date.
(b) The Parent may, upon at least two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of alternative financing, in which case such notice may be revoked without penalty prior to the specified time if such condition is not satisfied, terminate in whole or reduce in part the Unused Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) shall be applied ratably among the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitments. Any termination of LIBOR Loans on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to Section 2.17. The amount of any termination or reduction made under this Section 2.05(b) may not thereafter be reinstated.
2.06 Mandatory Payments.
(a) Except to the extent due or paid sooner pursuant to the provisions hereof, each Borrower shall repay (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans made to such Borrower on the Maturity Date and (ii) each Swingline Loan made to such Borrower on the earlier of (A) ten Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made and (B) the Swingline Maturity Date.
(b) In the event that at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date (i) if all Credit Exposure is denominated solely in Dollars, the aggregate Credit Exposure shall exceed 100% of the aggregate Commitments at such time (in each case, after giving effect to any concurrent termination or reduction thereof), or (ii) if any Credit Exposure is denominated in a Foreign Currency, (x) the aggregate Credit Exposure shall exceed 105% of the aggregate Commitments
37

at such time and (y) such imbalance continues for a period of 2 Business Days, then the Borrowers will immediately prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans and, to the extent of any excess remaining after prepayment in full of outstanding Swingline Loans, the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans in the amount of such excess; provided that, to the extent such excess amount is greater than the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans outstanding immediately prior to the application of such prepayment, the amount so prepaid shall be retained by the Administrative Agent and held in the Cash Collateral Account as cover for Letter of Credit Exposure, as more particularly described in Section 3.07, and thereupon such cash shall be deemed to reduce the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure by an equivalent amount.
2.07 Voluntary Prepayments. At any time and from time to time, each Borrower may prepay its Loans, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest to the date of prepayment, without premium or penalty (except as provided in clause (iii) below), upon written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to each intended prepayment of LIBOR Loans, 11:00 a.m. on the day of each intended payment of Base Rate Loans and 2:00 p.m. on the day of each intended payment of Swingline Loans; provided that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in a principal amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000 ($1,000,000 and $100,000, respectively, in the case of Swingline Loans) or, in the case of Base Rate Loans, any other amount that will cause the aggregate principal amount of all Base Rate Loans of the applicable Borrower to be $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000, (ii) no partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to any single Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the remaining LIBOR Loans under such Borrowing to less than $10,000,000, and (iii) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to Section 2.17. Each such notice shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the aggregate principal amount and Type of the Loans to be prepaid (and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period of the Borrowing pursuant to which made), shall be irrevocable and shall bind such Borrower to make such prepayment on the terms specified therein. Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.07 may be reborrowed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event the Administrative Agent receives a notice of prepayment under this Section, the Administrative Agent will give prompt notice thereof to the Banks; provided that if such notice has also been furnished to the Banks, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to notify the Banks with respect thereto.
2.08 Interest.
(a) Subject to Section 2.08(b), (i) each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, from the date of Borrowing thereof until such principal amount shall be paid in full, (A) at the Adjusted Base Rate, during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Base Rate Loan, and (B) at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as in effect from time to time during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a LIBOR Loan and (ii) each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, from the date of Borrowing thereof until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at (x) the Adjusted Base Rate or (y) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans; provided, that at any
38

time any Swingline Loan is required to be participated hereunder, such Swingline Loan shall bear interest from the date such Swingline Loan is participated until paid in full at the Adjusted Base Rate.
(b) During the existence of any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or 7.01(g), and (at the request of the Required Banks) during the existence of any other Event of Default, all outstanding principal amounts of the Loans, all Reimbursement Obligations (to the extent not already bearing an additional 2% per annum pursuant to Section 3.06) and, to the greatest extent permitted by law, all interest accrued on the Loans, all fees that are not paid when due and all unpaid costs, expenses and indemnity obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate otherwise applicable thereto from time to time plus 2% (or, in the case of interest on interest, costs, expenses and indemnity obligations, at the Adjusted Base Rate plus 2%), and, in each case, such interest shall be payable on demand. To the greatest extent permitted by law, interest shall continue to accrue after the filing by or against any Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any Bankruptcy Law.
(c) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable as follows (other than with respect to any L/C Disbursement under Section 3.06):
(i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan (including any Base Rate Loan or portion thereof paid or prepaid pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.06 or 2.07, except as provided below), in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter; provided, that in the event the Loans are repaid or prepaid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, then accrued interest in respect of all Base Rate Loans shall be payable together with such repayment or prepayment on the date thereof;
(ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan (including any LIBOR Loan or portion thereof paid or prepaid pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.06 or 2.07, except as provided below), in arrears (A) on the last Business Day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) in addition, in the case of an Interest Period of six months or longer, on each date that falls every three months after the beginning of such Interest Period; provided, that in the event all LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing are repaid or prepaid in full, then accrued interest in respect of such LIBOR Loans shall be payable together with such repayment or prepayment on the date thereof;
(iii) in respect of each Swingline Loan, in arrears at the earlier of (A) the maturity of such Swingline Loan, and (B) on the date of payment of such Swingline Loan (including any prepayment of such Swingline Loan or any payment of such Swingline Loan made pursuant to Section 2.02(d)); and
(iv) in respect of any Loan, at maturity (whether pursuant to acceleration or otherwise) and, after maturity, on demand.
39

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to any Bank at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Bank on any interest payment date would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Bank, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall be automatically reduced to such maximum permissible amount and the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower.
(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Banks upon determining the interest rate for each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans after its receipt of the relevant Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, and upon each change in the Base Rate; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to provide the applicable Borrower or the Banks with any such notice shall neither affect any obligations of such Borrower or the Banks hereunder nor result in any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent to any Borrower or any Bank. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
(f) The various rates of interest provided for in this Agreement are minimum interest rates. The parties hereto have assumed that interest at such rates is not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding Tax. Notwithstanding that the parties hereto do not anticipate that any payment of interest will be subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, each Bank, the Parent and the Administrative Agent agree that if Swiss Withholding Tax is imposed on any interest payment by the Parent to any Bank and it is unlawful for any reason for the Parent to comply with Section 2.16 when it would otherwise be required to make any payment under such Section, then any payment of interest to be made by the Parent to such Bank shall be increased to an amount which (after making any deduction of the Non-refundable Portion of Swiss Withholding Tax (as defined below)) results in a payment to such Bank of an amount equal to the payment which would have been due had no deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax been required. In calculating the amount due pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Swiss Withholding Tax shall be calculated on the full grossed-up interest amount. For purposes of the foregoing, “Non-refundable Portion of Swiss Withholding Tax” means Swiss Withholding Tax at the standard rate (which, as of the date of this Agreement, is 35%) unless according to an applicable double tax treaty, the Non-refundable Portion of Swiss Withholding Tax for any Bank is a specified lower rate, in which case such lower rate shall be applied in relation to such Bank. No payment pursuant to this Section 2.08(f) shall be in duplication of any payment pursuant to Section 2.16. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent is not required to make an increased payment to a Bank under this Section 2.08(f) by reason of a Swiss Withholding Tax deduction due to a breach of the Ten Non-Bank Rules and Twenty Non-Bank Rules if such Bank has (i) made an incorrect declaration of its status as to whether or not it is a Qualifying Bank, (ii) breached the assignment, transfer or exposure transfer restrictions pursuant to Section 10.07(j), or (iii) ceased to be a Qualifying Bank other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Bank under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or double taxation treaty, or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority.
40

(g) If a Bank shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of increased interest paid pursuant to Section 2.08(f), such Bank shall promptly notify the Parent of the availability of such refund claim and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the Parent, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund at the Parent’s expense, if obtaining such refund would not, in the good faith judgment of such Bank, be materially disadvantageous to such Bank; provided that nothing in this Section 2.08(g) shall be construed to require any Bank to institute any administrative proceeding (other than the filing of a claim for any such refund) or judicial proceeding to obtain any such refund. If a Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any increased interest paid pursuant to Section 2.08(f), such Bank shall, within 60 days from the date of such receipt, pay over such refund to the Parent (but only to the extent of the increased interest paid by the Parent under Section 2.08(f) giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Bank in obtaining such refund and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to the relevant portion of such refund); provided that the Parent, upon request of such Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Parent (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Bank in the event such Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing in this Section 2.08(g) shall be construed to require any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Parent or any other Person.
2.09 Fees.
(a) Commitment Fee. The Parent agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks a commitment fee, from the Effective Date in the case of each Initial Bank and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a Bank in the case of each other Bank until the Maturity Date, payable in arrears quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing December 31, 2017, and on the Maturity Date, at the rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage in effect from time to time on the daily Unused Commitment (excluding clause (iii) of the definition thereof for purposes of this Section 2.09(a) only) during such quarter (or shorter period); provided, however, that no commitment fee shall accrue on the Commitment of a Defaulting Bank so long as such Bank shall be a Defaulting Bank.
(b) Agent’s and Arranger’s Fees. The Parent agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Parent and the Administrative Agent or such Joint Lead Arranger.
(c) Letter of Credit Fees, Etc.
(i) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), payable in arrears quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing December 31, 2017, and ending on the later of the L/C Maturity Date and the date of termination of the last Letter of Credit outstanding after the Maturity Date, on such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the actual daily aggregate Stated Amount during such quarter (or shorter period) of all Letters of
41

Credit Issued on account of such Borrower outstanding from time to time at the rate equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Percentage in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the existence of any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or 7.01(g), and at the request of the Required Banks during the existence of any other Event of Default, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Percentage in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum.
(ii) Each Borrower agrees to pay (A) to each Fronting Bank (other than a Non-NAIC Fronting Bank) for its own account, a fronting fee in an amount separately agreed by such Borrower (or the Parent on behalf of such Borrower) and such Fronting Bank with respect to each Participated Letter of Credit Issued for the account of such Borrower; (B) to each Non-NAIC Fronting Bank, a fronting fee as mutually agreed upon between such Borrower (or the Parent on behalf of such Borrower), such Non-NAIC Bank and such Non-NAIC Fronting Bank with respect to each Syndicated Letter of Credit Issued for the account of such Borrower (it being understood that unless otherwise agreed between the applicable Non-NAIC Bank, such Non-NAIC Fronting Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Parent, such fronting fee shall be paid by reducing the applicable Letter of Credit Fee otherwise payable to such Non-NAIC Bank by an amount equal to such fronting fee and paying the same to such Non-NAIC Fronting Bank) and (C) to each of the L/C Agent and each Fronting Bank (other than a Non-NAIC Fronting Bank), each for its own account, its customary Issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, relating to Letters of Credit as are from time to time in effect.
2.10 Conversions and Continuations.
(a) Each Borrower may elect (i) to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of any of its Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, or to convert any of its LIBOR Loans the Interest Periods for which end on the same day into Base Rate Loans, or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, to continue all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of any of its LIBOR Loans the Interest Periods for which end on the same day for an additional Interest Period, provided that (x) after giving effect to any conversion or continuation, each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000 and the aggregate principal amount of all Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000, (y) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.15(d), LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (and, in any event, any conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to Section 2.17) and (z) no conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans or continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be permitted during the existence of a Default or Event of Default.
42

(b) Each Borrower must give the Administrative Agent written notice not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the intended effective date of any conversion of Base Rate Loans into, or continuation of, LIBOR Loans and one (1) Business Day prior to the intended effective date of any conversion of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans. Each such notice (each, a "Notice of Conversion/Continuation") shall be irrevocable, shall be given in the form of Exhibit B-3 and shall specify (x) the date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (y) in the case of a conversion into, or a continuation of, LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (z) the aggregate amount and Type of the Loans being converted or continued. Upon the receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of the proposed conversion or continuation. In the event that any Borrower shall fail to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation as provided herein with respect to any of its outstanding LIBOR Loans, such LIBOR Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans upon the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof). In the event that any Borrower shall have failed to specify an Interest Period to be applicable to any conversion into, or continuation of, its LIBOR Loans, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.
2.11 Payments and Computations; Apportionment of Payments.
(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder irrespective of any right of counterclaim, set-off or other defense (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.19), not later than 11:00 a.m. on the day when due, in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent (except as otherwise expressly provided herein as to payments required to be made directly to the Issuing Banks or the Banks) at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by such Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other amount then payable hereunder to more than one Bank, to such Banks for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective amount then payable to such Banks and (ii) if such payment by such Borrower is in respect of any amount then payable hereunder to one Bank (including the Swingline 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. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Bank assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(b) All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of (i) in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans based on the prime commercial lending rate of the Administrative Agent, 365/366 days, as the case may be, or (ii) in all other instances, 360 days; and in each case under clauses (i) and (ii) above, with regard to the actual
43

number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day) elapsed. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) Whenever any payment hereunder 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 (unless, in the case of a payment with respect to a LIBOR Loan, such next succeeding Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day), and any such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fee, as the case may be.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Banks, the Swingline Bank or the relevant Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the relevant Banks, the Swingline Bank or the relevant Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the relevant Banks, the Swingline Bank or the relevant Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Bank, such Swingline Bank or such Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Bank after acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.01 shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:
(i) first, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees irrespective of whether such fees are allowed as a claim after the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(g)) of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Banks under the Loan Documents;
(ii) second, to the payment of any fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts owed to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
(iii) third, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees irrespective of whether such fees are allowed as a claim after the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(g)) of the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Bank, the L/C Agent and each of the Banks in connection with enforcing their rights under the Loan Documents;
44

(iv) fourth, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued fees, interest, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees incurred and interest accruing at the then applicable rate after the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(g) irrespective of whether a claim for such fees incurred and interest accruing is allowed in such proceeding);
(v) fifth, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations (including the payment of any outstanding Reimbursement Obligations and the obligation to Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Exposure);
(vi) sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations and other obligations that shall have become due and payable under the Loan Documents or otherwise and not repaid; and
(vii) seventh, to the payment of the surplus (if any) to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category, (y) all amounts shall be apportioned ratably among the Banks in proportion to the amounts of such principal, interest, fees or other Obligations owed to them respectively pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vii) above, and (z) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause (v) above are attributable to the Issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent to Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to Section 3.07.
2.12 Recovery of Payments.
(a) Each Borrower agrees that to the extent it makes a payment or payments to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, any Bank, the Swingline Bank or any Issuing Bank, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Bankruptcy Law (whether as a result of any demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise), then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Obligation intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been received.
(b) If any amounts distributed by the Administrative Agent to any Bank, the Swingline Bank or any Issuing Bank are subsequently returned or repaid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower, its representative or successor in interest, or any other Person, whether by court order, by settlement approved by such Bank, the Swingline Bank or such Issuing Bank, or pursuant to applicable law, such Bank, Swingline Bank or such Issuing Bank will, promptly upon receipt of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, pay the Administrative Agent such amount. If any such amounts are recovered by the Administrative Agent from such Borrower, its representative or successor in interest or such other Person, the
45

Administrative Agent will redistribute such amounts to the Banks, Swingline Bank or the Issuing Banks on the same basis as such amounts were originally distributed.
2.13 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be available (and each Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) to provide working capital, and for other general corporate purposes of the Borrowers (including for the Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder) and their respective Subsidiaries, not in contravention of any law or of the Loan Documents.
2.14 Pro Rata Treatment.
(a) Except in the case of Swingline Loans, all fundings, continuations and conversions of Loans shall be made by the Banks pro rata on the basis of their respective Pro Rata Shares or on the basis of their respective outstanding Revolving Loans (in the case of continuations and conversions of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.10), as the case may be from time to time.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.20(a)(ii), all payments from or on behalf of each Borrower on account of any Obligations of such Borrower shall be apportioned ratably among the Banks based upon their respective share, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was made.
(c) If any Bank shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other Obligations hereunder resulting in such Bank receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligations greater than its applicable share thereof as provided herein, then the Bank receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other Obligations of the other Banks, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Banks ratably in accordance with their respective applicable shares; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14(c) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Bank) or (y) any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Reimbursement Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Bank acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable Bankruptcy Laws, any Bank receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 2.14(c) applies, such Bank shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a
46

manner consistent with the rights of the Banks entitled under this Section 2.14(c) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
2.15 Increased Costs, Etc.
(a) If, due to any Change in Law, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Bank of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Loans or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or the making of any payment on any Letter of Credit (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.15, any such increased costs resulting from Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes), and such Bank reasonably determines it is generally charging such amounts to its customers that are similarly situated to the Borrowers and to the extent relevant, with a similar credit facility (it being understood that (x) such determination shall be made by such Bank in good faith and binding on the Borrowers once made and (y) such Bank shall not be obligated to disclose any information it deems confidential to the Borrowers in connection with the exercise of its rights for reimbursement under this Section 2.15(a)), then the applicable Borrower severally agrees to pay, from time to time, within five days after demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall include a statement of the basis for such demand and a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount demanded, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the applicable Borrower by such Bank, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) If, due to any Change in Law, there shall be any increase in the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by any Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank as a result of or based upon the existence of such Bank’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of such type, and such Bank reasonably determines it is generally charging such amounts to its customers that are similarly situated to the Borrowers and to the extent relevant, with a similar credit facility (it being understood that (x) such determination shall be made by such Bank in good faith and binding on the Borrowers once made and (y) such Bank shall not be obligated to disclose any information it deems confidential to the Borrowers in connection with the exercise of its rights for reimbursement under this Section 2.15(b)), then, within five days after demand by such Bank or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall include a statement of the basis for such demand and a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount demanded, the applicable Borrower severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Bank’s commitment to lend or to Issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to making, funding or maintaining any Loan or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the applicable Borrower by such Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
47

(c) If, prior to the first day of any Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Loan, (x) the Required Banks notify the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to such Banks of making, funding or maintaining their LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period, or (y) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the applicable Borrower and the Banks, whereupon each such LIBOR Loan will (i) in the case of requested new LIBOR Loans, be made as or remain Base Rate Loans or as a LIBOR Loan with a different Interest Period as to which the Required Banks have not given such a notice and (ii) in the case of existing LIBOR Loans, automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into Base Rate Loans or be continued as a LIBOR Loan with a different Interest Period as to which the Required Banks have not given such notice.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make LIBOR Loans or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Bank to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (i) each LIBOR Loan of such Bank will automatically, upon such demand, convert into a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) the obligation of such Bank to make LIBOR Loans or to convert Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that such Bank has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist (it being understood that such Bank shall make and maintain Base Rate Loans in the amount that would otherwise be made and maintained by such Bank as LIBOR Loans absent the circumstances described above).
(e) Each Bank shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has actual knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Bank’s good faith judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank) to mitigate or avoid (i) any obligation by the Borrowers to pay any amount pursuant to Section 2.15(a) or 2.15(b) above or pursuant to Section 2.16 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstances of the nature described in Section 2.15(c) or 2.15(d) (and, if any Bank has given notice of any such event and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Bank shall promptly so notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, each Bank will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to the Borrowers of) any event described in the preceding sentence and such designation will not, in such Bank’s good faith judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.
(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.15(a), 2.15(b) or 2.16 (and without limiting Section 2.15(e) above), if any Bank fails to notify the Borrowers of any event or circumstance that will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to Section 2.15(a), 2.15(b) or 2.16 within 120 days after such Bank obtains actual knowledge of such event or circumstance, then such Bank shall not be entitled to compensation from the Borrowers for any amount arising prior to the date which is 120 days before the date on which such Bank notifies the Borrowers of
48

such event or circumstance (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to compensation is retroactive, then the 120-day shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(g) The applicable Borrower shall pay to each Bank, (i) as long as such Bank shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Bank (as determined by such Bank in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided such Borrower shall have received at least 10 days' prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Bank. If a Bank fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.
2.16 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11, free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by law (as determined in its good faith discretion) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Bank or any Agent, such Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, (i) the sum payable by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Borrower and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions or withholding (including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Bank or such Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholding been made and (ii) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall make all such deductions or withholding.
(b) In addition, without duplication of any amounts payable under Section 2.16(a), each Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Without duplication of any amounts payable under Section 2.16(a) or 2.16(b), each Borrower shall indemnify each Bank and each Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Indemnified Taxes, and for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16, imposed on or paid by such Bank or such Agent (as the case may be) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification payment shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.
(d) Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s
49

failure to comply with the last sentence of Section 10.07(g) relating to the maintenance of a record and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.16(d).
(e) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. For purposes of this Section 2.16(e) and Section 2.16(f), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701(a)(9) and 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code, respectively.
(f) (1) Each Bank, that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Bank or each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Administrative Agent or the Parent (but only so long thereafter as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall deliver to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16(f)(ii) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank.
(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a resident for tax purposes in the United States,
(A) Each Bank that is a United States person, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Bank or each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Bank in
50

the case of each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, two executed originals of Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) Any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are claiming the
51

portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(g) Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to Section 2.16(f) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) If a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Parent and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Effective Date, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
(j) 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 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), 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
52

out-of-pocket expenses (including 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 repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
2.17 Compensation. Each Borrower will compensate each Bank upon demand for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds required by such Bank to fund or maintain such Borrower's LIBOR Loans, but excluding lost profits) that such Bank may incur or sustain (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Bank) a Borrowing or continuation of, or conversion into, a LIBOR Loan of such Borrower does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, (ii) if any repayment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Loan of such Borrower occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a consequence of any assignment made pursuant to Section 2.18 or any acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.01), (iii) if any prepayment of any LIBOR Loan of such Borrower is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by such Borrower or (iv) as a consequence of any other failure by such Borrower to make any payments with respect to any LIBOR Loan of such Borrower when due hereunder. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Bank under this Section 2.17 shall be made as though such Bank had actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan, having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Bank may fund its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section 2.17. A certificate (which shall be in reasonable detail) showing the bases for the determinations set forth in this Section 2.17 by any Bank as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be submitted by such Bank to the applicable Borrower either directly or through the Administrative Agent. Determinations set forth in any such certificate made in good faith for purposes of this Section 2.17 of any such losses, expenses or liabilities shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.18 Replacement of Affected Bank, Defaulting Bank or Nonconsenting Bank. At any time any Bank is an Affected Bank, a Defaulting Bank or a Nonconsenting Bank, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense (including the assignment fee specified in Section 10.07(a)) and effort,
53

replace such Affected Bank, Defaulting Bank or Nonconsenting Bank as a party to this Agreement with one or more other Banks and/or Eligible Assignees, and upon notice from the Borrowers such Affected Bank, Defaulting Bank or Nonconsenting Bank shall assign pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, and without recourse or warranty, its Commitment, its Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, its obligations to fund Letter of Credit payments, its participation in, and its rights and obligations with respect to, Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit, and all of its other rights and obligations hereunder to such other Banks and/or Eligible Assignees for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations so assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, such Affected Bank’s, Defaulting Bank’s or Nonconsenting Bank’s Pro Rata Share of all accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to Section 2.09, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16(j) as a result of such Bank receiving payment of any LIBOR Loan prior to the end of an Interest Period therefor (assuming for such purpose that receipt of payment pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption constitutes payment of such LIBOR Loan) and all other obligations owed to such Bank hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Affected Bank, Defaulting Bank or Nonconsenting Bank shall be required to make any such assignment if, prior to its receipt of the notice from the Borrowers referred to in the foregoing sentence, as a result of a waiver or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment cease to apply, and (ii) no Nonconsenting Bank shall be required to make any such assignment if at the time of any such proposed assignment, any Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing.
2.19 Increase in Commitments.
(a) The Parent shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date by written notice to and in consultation with the Administrative Agent, to request an increase in the aggregate Commitments (each such requested increase, a “Commitment Increase”), by having one or more existing Banks increase their respective Commitments then in effect (each, an “Increasing Bank”), by adding as a Bank with a new Commitment hereunder one or more Persons that are not already Banks (each, an “Additional Bank”), or a combination thereof; provided that (i) any such request for a Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 or, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, a higher integral multiple of $5,000,000, (ii) immediately after giving effect to any Commitment Increase, the aggregate of all Commitment Increases effected after the Effective Date shall not exceed $1,000,000,000, and (iii) no existing Bank shall be obligated to increase its Commitment as a result of any request for a Commitment Increase by the Parent unless it agrees in its sole discretion to do so.
(b) Each Additional Bank must be an NAIC Bank and otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee (the approval of which by the Administrative Agent, each Fronting Bank that has Issued an outstanding Letter of Credit and the Swingline Bank shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the Parent and each Additional Bank shall execute a joinder agreement together with all such other documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to evidence the Commitment of such Additional Bank and its status as a Bank hereunder.
54

(c) If the aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, (i) the Parent shall determine the final amount and allocation of such increase and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Parent shall determine the effective date (the “Commitment Increase Date,” which shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date) of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent and the Banks of the final amount and allocation of such increase and the Commitment Increase Date. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, on behalf of the Banks, to enter into any amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate to effect such Commitment Increase.
(d) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 2.19 to the contrary, no increase in the aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be effective unless:
(i) The Administrative Agent shall have received the following, each dated the Commitment Increase Date and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:
(A) as to each Increasing Bank, evidence of its agreement to provide a portion of the Commitment Increase, and as to each Additional Bank, a duly executed joinder agreement together with all other documentation required by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.19(b);
(B) an instrument, duly executed by each Borrower, acknowledging and reaffirming its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(C) unless covered by resolutions previously delivered hereunder, a certificate of the secretary or an assistant secretary or other appropriate officer of each Borrower, certifying to and attaching the resolutions adopted by the board of directors (or similar governing body) of such Borrower approving or consenting to such Commitment Increase;
(D) a certificate of a Responsible Officer, certifying that (y) as of the Commitment Increase Date, all representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents qualified as to materiality are true and correct and those not so qualified are true and correct in all material respects, both immediately before and after giving effect to the Commitment Increase (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, in which case such representation or warranty is true and correct (if qualified as to materiality) or true and correct in all material respects (if not so qualified), in each case as of such date), and (z) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such Commitment Increase; and
55

(ii) If there is a non-ratable increase in the aggregate Commitments, each outstanding Syndicated Letter of Credit shall have been amended giving effect to the reallocation of the Commitments or, if required, returned by each respective beneficiary to the Administrative Agent and cancelled and/or exchanged for a new or amended Syndicated Letter of Credit giving effect to the reallocated Commitments; and
(iii) In the case of any Credit Extension in connection with such Commitment Increase, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 shall have been satisfied.
To the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable in the event of any non-ratable increase in the aggregate Commitments, on the Commitment Increase Date, (i) all then outstanding LIBOR Loans (the “Initial Loans”) shall automatically be converted into Base Rate Loans, (ii) immediately after the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase, the applicable Borrowers shall, if they so request, convert such Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans (the “Subsequent Borrowings”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loans and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.10, (iii) each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds an amount equal to the difference, if positive, between (y) such Bank’s Pro Rata Share (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Subsequent Borrowings and (z) such Bank’s Pro Rata Share (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Initial Loans, (iv) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clause (iii) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Bank the portion of such funds equal to the difference, if positive, between (y) such Bank’s Pro Rata Share (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Initial Loans and (z) such Bank’s Pro Rata Share (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the amount of the Subsequent Borrowings, (v) the Banks shall be deemed to hold the Subsequent Borrowings ratably in accordance with their respective Commitment (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase), (vi) each applicable Borrower shall pay all accrued but unpaid interest on the Initial Loans to the Banks entitled thereto, and (vii) Schedule I shall automatically be amended to reflect the Commitments of all Banks after giving effect to the Commitment Increase. The conversion of the Initial Loans pursuant to clause (i) above shall be subject to indemnification by the applicable Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.17 if the Commitment Increase Date occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent and the Administrative Agent may agree upon other methods of implementing a Commitment Increase (including a phase-in of a Commitment Increase with certain Banks having temporary risk participations in outstanding Revolving Loans pending the end of Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans) so long as the applicable method is not materially disadvantageous to any Bank.
56

2.20 Defaulting Banks.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, until such time as such Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i) Such Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Banks” and in Section 10.01.
(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 10.05 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:
(A) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder;
(B) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Fronting Banks or the Swingline Bank hereunder;
(C) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by a Fronting Bank, to Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank in accordance with Section 2.20(c);
(D) fourth, as the applicable Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its Pro Rata Share as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;
(E) fifth, if so requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s present (to the extent not applied pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) through (D)) or potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Fronting Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank with respect to future Letters of Credit Issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.20(c);
(F) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks, the Swingline Bank or any Fronting Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank, the Swingline Bank or any Fronting Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
57

(G) seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
(H) eighth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or any L/C Disbursement in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its Pro Rata Share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were Issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and obligations in respect of Letters of Credit owed to, all non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or obligations in respect of Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Bank. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by such Defaulting Bank or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents thereto.
(iii) No Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee under Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such commitment fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Bank). Each Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank (and the Borrowers shall be required to pay such Letter of Credit Fees to such Defaulting Bank) only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which such Defaulting Bank has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20. With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Bank pursuant to the previous sentence, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each non-Defaulting Bank that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s participation in Participated Letters of Credit that have been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Fronting Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank to the extent allocable to such Fronting Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Bank, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv) All of such Defaulting Bank’s Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure in respect of Participated Letters of Credit (and such Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit Exposure in respect of Existing Syndicated Letters of Credit that have not at such time been amended in accordance with Section 3.03(b)) shall automatically (effective on the day such Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank) be reallocated among the
58

non-Defaulting Banks (or, with respect to any such Existing Syndicated Letters of Credit, among the Syndicated L/C Participants that are not Defaulting Lenders) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Bank’s Commitment), but in each case only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Bank to exceed such non-Defaulting Bank’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v) If the reallocation described in Section 2.20(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, (i) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Bank’s Swingline Exposure and (ii) second, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to Section 2.20(a)(iv)) with respect to such Defaulting Bank in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.20(c). Any Cash Collateral delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be deposited in an interest bearing account with the Administrative Agent and shall bear interest at a rate applicable for such account.
(b) If the Parent, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Bank and each Fronting Bank that has Fronting Exposure agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Bank should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Defaulting Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans, Syndicated Letters of Credit and funded and unfunded participations in Participated Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Banks in accordance with their respective Credit Exposures (without giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv)), whereupon such Defaulting Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to non-Defaulting Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.
(c) (1) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Bank, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Fronting Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize all Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank at the product of (i) the Cash Collateral
59

Percentage multiplied by (ii) all Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank (determined after giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Bank).
(i) The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Bank, such Defaulting Bank, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Fronting Banks, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all Cash Collateral provided by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20(c)(i) as security for the Defaulting Banks’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (iii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank at such time, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Bank).
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.20 shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Bank’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Bank, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Letter of Credit Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Letter of Credit Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Bank status of the applicable Defaulting Bank (or, as appropriate, its assignee)) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that (x) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Borrower shall not be released during the existence of a Default or Event of Default and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and each applicable Fronting Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Letter of Credit Exposure or other obligations.
2.21 Provisions Relating to Non-NAIC Banks.
(a) Each Bank represents that on the date of this Agreement (or, if later, the date such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement), it is an NAIC Bank or has entered into a Fronting Agreement with a NAIC Bank in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2.21. Each Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts in order to at all times (i) be a NAIC Bank or (ii) maintain in effect a Fronting Agreement with a NAIC Bank to act as a Fronting Bank for such Bank in respect of its obligations under the Syndicated Letters of Credit (which NAIC Bank, prior to entering in such Fronting Agreement, shall be subject to the prior written consent of each of the Parent and the Administrative Agent, such consent, in each case, shall not be
60

unreasonably withheld). If any Bank shall enter into a Fronting Agreement hereunder at any time, it shall promptly furnish a copy thereof to the Parent and the Administrative Agent. If at any time any Bank shall cease to be a NAIC Bank, such Bank shall promptly notify the Parent and the Administrative Agent and forthwith comply with its obligations under this Section 2.21. In connection with the execution or termination of any Fronting Agreement, the L/C Agent is authorized to amend or replace each outstanding Syndicated Letter Credit to add or remove the applicable Non-NAIC Bank and Non-NAIC Fronting Bank, as the case may be. Each Bank shall promptly provide evidence to the Administrative Agent or the Parent of such Bank’s compliance with the requirements of this Section 2.21 upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Parent.
(b) If at any time any Bank is a Non-NAIC Bank and does not have a Fronting Agreement in effect with a NAIC Bank, such Non-NAIC Bank shall be obligated to provide cash collateral for its Letter of Credit Exposure on the following terms:
(i) With respect to any then existing Participated Letter of Credit Exposure of such Non-NAIC Bank, at the option of the applicable Fronting Bank or the Parent, such Non-NAIC Bank shall forthwith deliver to the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Cash Collateral Percentage multiplied by (ii) the maximum amount of such Non-NAIC Bank’s Participated Letter of Credit Exposure (such amount provided in respect of such Participated Letter of Credit Exposure being herein called “Participated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral”). Upon receipt of any Participated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral (including any additional cash collateral provided under clause (iii) below that constitutes Participated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral), the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Bank will establish one or more cash collateral accounts in the name and under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Bank (each such cash collateral account, a “Participated Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) and deposit therein the relevant portion of such Participated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral (including the relevant portion of any additional cash collateral provided by such Non-NAIC Bank in respect of its additional Participated Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to clause (iii) below) as collateral solely for the benefit of the applicable Fronting Bank to secure such Non-NAIC Bank’s obligations in respect of the Participated Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to Participated Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank and such Non-NAIC Bank hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Bank, for the benefit of the applicable Fronting Bank, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to each Participated Letter of Credit Collateral Account and the balances from time to time therein. The balances from time to time in the Participated Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any such obligations until applied by the Administrative Agent as provided herein.
(ii) With respect to any then existing Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure of such Non-NAIC Bank, such Non-NAIC Bank and/or the Parent may request that another Bank act as a Non-NAIC Fronting Bank for (and to enter into a Fronting Agreement with) such Non-NAIC Bank with respect to such Non-NAIC Bank’s then existing
61

Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure (and such additional Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure of such Non-NAIC Bank, to the extent provided in clause (iii) below); provided that (A) no Bank shall be obligated to so act as a Non-NAIC Fronting Bank and (B) any agreement of any Bank to so act as a Non-NAIC Fronting Bank shall be on such terms and conditions and subject to payment of such fees as shall be agreed among such Non-NAIC Fronting Bank, the Non-NAIC Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Parent (including, to the extent required by the Non-NAIC Fronting Bank or the Parent, the requirement that such Non-NAIC Bank shall forthwith deliver to the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Cash Collateral Percentage multiplied by (ii) the maximum amount of such Non-NAIC Bank’s Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure (such amount provided in respect of such Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure being herein called the “Syndicated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral”)). Upon receipt of any Syndicated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral (including any additional cash collateral provided under clause (iii) below that constitutes Syndicated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral) by the Administrative Agent from such Bank, the Administrative Agent will establish a cash collateral account (of the type described in clause (i) above) (the “Syndicated Letter of Credit Collateral Account” and, together with each Participated Letter of Credit Collateral Account, each a “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) and deposit therein such Syndicated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral (including any additional cash collateral provided by such Bank in respect of its additional Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to clause (iii) below) as collateral solely for the benefit of the Non-NAIC Fronting Bank to secure such Non-NAIC Bank’s obligations to the Non-NAIC Fronting Bank under such Fronting Agreement in respect of such Non-NAIC Bank’s Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure and such Non-NAIC Bank hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Non-NAIC Fronting Bank, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Syndicated Letter of Credit Collateral Account and the balances from time to time therein. The balances from time to time in the Syndicated Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any such obligations until applied by the Administrative Agent as provided herein.
(iii) If at any time thereafter any Borrower shall request the Issuance of additional Letters of Credit and at such time such Bank remains a Non-NAIC Bank, upon the request of any applicable Fronting Bank, applicable Non-NAIC Fronting Bank or the Parent, as applicable, such Non-NAIC Bank shall provide additional cash collateral in respect of its Pro Rata Share (or, if the Parent has made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to a Syndicated Letter of Credit, any other applicable share of such Syndicated Letter of Credit) of the stated amount under such Letter of Credit in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above, as applicable (provided that, with respect to any Participated Letter of Credit Exposure, such collateral shall be provided only at the option of the applicable Fronting Bank or the Parent and with respect to any Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure, such collateral shall be provided only at the option of the applicable Non-NAIC Fronting Bank or the Parent) and, upon receipt of such collateral, the applicable Fronting Bank, Administrative Agent or such other party shall hold and apply
62

such collateral as Participated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral or Syndicated Letter of Credit Cash Collateral, as applicable, in accordance with this subsection (b).
(iv) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in any Letter of Credit Collateral Account established under this subsection (b) shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided herein. Amounts on deposit in each Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such short-term investments as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion or, in the case of any Participated Letter of Credit Collateral Account, as the applicable Fronting Bank for whose benefits the funds therein have been pledged may direct the Administrative Agent or, in the case of the Syndicated Letter of Credit Collateral Account, as the applicable Non-NAIC Fronting Bank(s) may direct the Administrative Agent. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent and shall be credited to the relevant Letter of Credit Collateral Account for the benefit of the Person for which such funds are being held. At any time, and from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall, if instructed by (in the case of any Participated Letter of Credit Collateral Account) the applicable Fronting Bank in its sole discretion or (in the case of the Syndicated Letter of Credit Collateral Account) the applicable Non-NAIC Fronting Bank (or the Parent if that Non-NAIC Bank does not have in effect a Fronting Agreement) in its sole discretion, as the case may be, liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and credit the proceeds thereof to such Letter of Credit Collateral Account and apply or cause to be applied the balances therein to the payment of such Bank’s obligations then due and payable which are secured by such balances.
(v) If at any time the Letters of Credit in respect of any Letter of Credit Exposure for which cash collateral has been provided by such Non-NAIC Bank under this subsection (b) shall no longer exist, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of such Non-NAIC Bank, deliver to such Non-NAIC Bank (with the concurrence of the applicable Fronting Bank, applicable Non-NAIC Fronting Bank or the Parent, as applicable), against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the remaining balance in the relevant Letter of Credit Collateral Account.
(vi) If at any time such Non-NAIC Bank shall become a NAIC Bank, subject, in the case of any Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure of such Bank, to (x) the termination of the Fronting Agreement entered into between the applicable Non-NAIC Fronting Bank and such Bank releasing the Non-NAIC Fronting Bank’s obligation thereunder to act as a Non-NAIC Fronting Bank for such Bank and (y) with the consent of the beneficiary under each Syndicated Letter of Credit to the extent required by the terms thereof or under applicable law, the amendment of each such Syndicated Letter of Credit by the Administrative Agent to reinstate such Bank’s liability thereunder (and terminate the applicable Non-NAIC Fronting Bank’s liability thereunder), the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of such Bank, deliver to such Bank (with the concurrence of the applicable Fronting Bank (with respect to any Participated Letter of Credit Exposure), the applicable Non-NAIC Fronting Bank (with respect to any
63

Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure) or the Parent (with respect to any Syndicated Letter of Credit Exposure for which the Non-NAIC Bank does not have in effect a Fronting Agreement)), against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the remaining balance in the relevant Letter of Credit Collateral Account.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as any Bank shall be a Non-NAIC Bank, the Parent may, upon notice to such Non-NAIC Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-NAIC Bank, at the expense of such Non-NAIC Bank, to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.07), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Letters of Credit issued, or participated in, by such Non-NAIC Bank to any Eligible Assignee and shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if it, in its sole discretion, accepts such assignment) with (and subject to) the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); provided that such Non-NAIC Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding amount of its L/C Disbursements (including participations therein), 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 L/C Disbursements, Loans and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts).
(d) During the period that such Non-NAIC Bank (i) does not have a Non-NAIC Fronting Bank and (ii) continues to be a Bank hereunder, the Borrowers may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this clause (d), elect that all Syndicated Letters of Credit that are requested to be issued or that are outstanding, be issued or renewed, extended or amended, as applicable, by the Banks on an adjusted pro rata basis that excludes the Commitment of such Non-NAIC Bank (such election, a “Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election”), provided that, if the Borrowers make a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election, (i) such issuance, renewal, extension or adjustment shall be made only to the extent that it would not cause the Credit Exposure owing to any Bank to exceed such Bank’s Commitment and (ii) thereafter, if the Parent elects to request a Loan, such Loan shall be advanced as provided in Section 2.03(e).
ARTICLE III
LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.01 Syndicated Letters of Credit.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the request of any Borrower at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period, each Issuing Bank agrees to Issue Letters of Credit as Syndicated Letters of Credit for the account of such Borrower or for the account of any Wholly Owned Subsidiary; provided, that the Parent shall be a joint applicant and account party with respect to any such Syndicated Letter of Credit Issued for the account of a Person that is not a Borrower, and the Parent shall be deemed the “Borrower” hereunder with respect to any such Syndicated Letter of Credit. Such Syndicated Letters of Credit shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit D with such changes therein as the L/C Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) determines are acceptable to it and not adverse to the
64

interests of the Banks, taken as whole. If at the time that any Borrower requests the Issuance of a Syndicated Letter of Credit by any Bank that is a Non-NAIC Bank, any Non-NAIC Fronting Bank may Issue such Non-NAIC Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Syndicated Letter of Credit pursuant to terms set forth in Section 2.21. Absent the prior written consent of each Issuing Bank, no Syndicated Letter of Credit may be Issued that would vary the several and not joint nature of the obligations of the Issuing Banks thereunder as provided in the next succeeding sentence. Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be Issued by all of the Issuing Banks acting through the L/C Agent, at the time of Issuance as a single multi-bank letter of credit, but the obligation of each Issuing Bank thereunder shall be several and not joint, in the amount of its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share if the Parent has made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to such Syndicated Letters of Credit or in respect of an Issuing Bank acting as a Non-NAIC Fronting Bank) of the Stated Amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit.
(b) Notice of Issuance. To request the Issuance of a Syndicated Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the L/C Agent) to the L/C Agent at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of Issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the L/C Agent, including with respect to any request for the issuance of a Syndicated Letter of Credit on the Effective Date) a notice in a form reasonably acceptable to the L/C Agent (a “Syndicated Letter of Credit Notice”) requesting the Issuance of a Syndicated Letter of Credit, or identifying the Syndicated Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed, extended or increased, as the case may be, and specifying the date of Issuance (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Syndicated Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 3.01(c)), the amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit, the Applicable Currency of such Syndicated Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and the terms and conditions of (and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, extend or increase, as the case may be) such Syndicated Letter of Credit, it being understood and agreed that Syndicated Letters of Credit may be extended and renewed in accordance with Section 3.01(c). If requested by the L/C Agent, the applicable Borrower shall submit a letter of credit application on the L/C Agent’s standard form (with such changes as the L/C Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate) in connection with any request for a Syndicated Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application submitted by any Borrower to the L/C Agent relating to any Syndicated Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
(c) Expiration of Syndicated Letters of Credit. Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the earlier of (i) the close of business on the date one year after the date of the Issuance of such Syndicated Letter of Credit, or (ii) the L/C Maturity Date; provided, however, that at the applicable Borrower’s request a Syndicated Letter of Credit shall provide by its terms, and on terms acceptable to the L/C Agent, for renewal for successive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the L/C Maturity Date) unless and until the L/C Agent shall have delivered prior written notice of nonrenewal to the beneficiary of such Syndicated Letter of Credit no later than the time specified in such Syndicated Letter of Credit (which the L/C Agent shall do only if one or more of the applicable conditions under Section 4.02 (other than the
65

delivery of a Letter of Credit Notice) is not then satisfied); provided that no Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be renewed after the Maturity Date. The L/C Agent shall promptly provide a copy of any such notice to the applicable Borrower.
(d) Obligation of Banks. The obligation of any Issuing Bank under any Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be several and not joint and shall be in an amount equal to such Issuing Bank’s Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share if the Parent has made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to such Syndicated Letter of Credit or in respect of an Issuing Bank acting as a Non-NAIC Fronting Bank) of the aggregate Stated Amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit at the time such Syndicated Letter of Credit is Issued, and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. The failure of any Issuing Bank to make any L/C Disbursement in respect of any Syndicated Letter of Credit on any date shall not relieve any other Issuing Bank of its corresponding obligation, if any, hereunder to do so on such date, but no Issuing Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Issuing Bank to make its L/C Disbursement in respect of any Syndicated Letter of Credit. No increase of Commitments under Section 2.19 or assignment of Commitments under Section 2.18 or Section 10.07 shall change or affect the liability of any Issuing Bank under any outstanding Syndicated Letter of Credit until such Syndicated Letter of Credit is amended giving effect to such increase, assignment or reallocation, as the case may be. However, it is acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and the Banks that amendments of outstanding Syndicated Letters of Credit may not be immediately effected. Accordingly, whether or not Syndicated Letters of Credit are amended as contemplated hereby, the Banks agree that they shall purchase and sell participations or otherwise make or effect such payments among themselves (but through the Administrative Agent) so that payments by the Banks of drawings under Syndicated Letters of Credit and payments by the applicable Borrower of L/C Disbursements and interest thereon are, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, in each case shared by the Banks in accordance with the respective Pro Rata Shares (or other applicable shares if the Parent has made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to such Syndicated Letters of Credit) of the Banks from time to time in effect.
(e) Issuance Administration. Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be executed and delivered by the L/C Agent in the name and on behalf of, and as attorney-in-fact for, each Issuing Bank party to such Syndicated Letter of Credit, and the L/C Agent shall act under each Syndicated Letter of Credit, and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly provide that the L/C Agent shall act, as the agent of each such Issuing Bank to (i) execute and deliver such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (ii) receive drafts, other demands for payment and other documents presented by the beneficiary under such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (iii) determine whether such drafts, demands and documents are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Syndicated Letter of Credit, (iv) notify such Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower that a valid drawing has been made and the date that the related L/C Disbursement is to be made and (v) exercise all rights held by the issuer of a letter of credit under the documents for which such Syndicated Letter of Credit shall provide credit enhancement (or designate any Person as its representative for all such purposes under such documents); provided that the L/C Agent shall have no obligation or liability for any L/C Disbursement under such Syndicated Letter of Credit, and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. Each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the L/C Agent as its attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly
66

authorized officer, to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of such Issuing Bank each Syndicated Letter of Credit to be Issued by such Issuing Bank hereunder and to take such other actions contemplated by this Section 3.01(e). Promptly upon the request of the L/C Agent, each Issuing Bank will furnish to the L/C Agent such additional powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any Syndicated Letter of Credit may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the L/C Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Issuing Bank to execute and deliver such Syndicated Letter of Credit.
(f) Disbursement Procedures. The L/C Agent shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof (and, in any event, within any specific time specified in the text of the relevant Syndicated Letter of Credit), examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any Syndicated Letter of Credit. The L/C Agent shall promptly after such examination and before such L/C Disbursement notify each applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or email) of such demand for payment. With respect to any demand for payment made under a Syndicated Letter of Credit which the L/C Agent has informed the applicable Issuing Banks is valid, each such Issuing Bank will promptly make an L/C Disbursement in respect of such Syndicated Letter of Credit and in the Applicable Currency, such L/C Disbursement to be made to the account of the L/C Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Issuing Banks. The L/C Agent will make such L/C Disbursement available to the beneficiary of such Syndicated Letter of Credit by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in the funds so received, to the account identified by such beneficiary in connection with such demand for such L/C Disbursement. Promptly following any L/C Disbursement by any Issuing Bank in respect of any Syndicated Letter of Credit, the L/C Agent will notify the applicable Borrower of such L/C Disbursement.
(g) Reimbursement. Each Borrower agrees that it shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Banks in respect of L/C Disbursements made under such Borrower’s Syndicated Letter of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to the aggregate of the Dollar Amount (calculated as of the L/C Disbursement Date) of each L/C Disbursement no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day following the L/C Disbursement Date (the “Syndicated L/C Honor Date”) with respect to such Syndicated Letter of Credit together with interest thereon payable as provided in Section 3.06. If the applicable Borrower fails to so reimburse the Issuing Banks by such time of the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), so long as the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing) are satisfied and subject to the amount of the Unused Commitments, such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Syndicated L/C Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02(a)(i) for the principal amount of Borrowings, and the L/C Disbursements of each of the Issuing Banks shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligation to fund their Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing. Without limiting any other obligations of each Borrower hereunder, each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each applicable Issuing Bank in respect of each Syndicated Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency for any and all costs, expenses and losses incurred by such Issuing Bank as a result of receiving payment or reimbursement for any L/C Disbursement thereunder from any Person in a Currency other than Dollars. Any such amount payable to any Issuing Bank shall be payable
67

within ten Business Days after demand and submission by such Issuing Bank of satisfactory evidence reflecting the calculation of such amount, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
3.02 Participated Letters of Credit.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Borrower may request any Fronting Bank (other than a Non-NAIC Fronting Bank) to Issue, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period, and such Fronting Bank hereby agrees to Issue, Participated Letters of Credit for the account of such Borrower or for the account of any Wholly Owned Subsidiary; provided, that the Parent shall be a joint applicant and account party with respect to any such Participated Letter of Credit Issued for the account of a Person that is not a Borrower, and the Parent shall be deemed the “Borrower” hereunder with respect to any such Participated Letter of Credit. Each Participated Letter of Credit shall be in a form customarily used or otherwise approved by the applicable Borrower and the applicable Fronting Bank.
(b) Notice of Issuance. To request the Issuance of a Participated Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Fronting Bank and Administrative Agent) to the applicable Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Banks) at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of Issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the applicable Fronting Bank, including with respect to any request for the Issuance of a Participated Letter of Credit on the Effective Date, subject to approval by the applicable Fronting Bank) a notice in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Fronting Bank (a “Participated Letter of Credit Notice”) requesting the Issuance of a Participated Letter of Credit, or identifying the Participated Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed, extended or increased, as the case may be, and specifying the date of Issuance (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Participated Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 3.02(c)), the amount of such Participated Letter of Credit, the Applicable Currency of such Participated Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and the terms and conditions of (and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, extend or increase, as the case may be) such Participated Letter of Credit, it being understood and agreed that Participated Letters of Credit may be extended and renewed in accordance with Section 3.02(c). If requested by any applicable Fronting Bank, the applicable Borrower shall submit a letter of credit application on such Fronting Bank’s standard form (with such changes as such Fronting Bank shall reasonably deem appropriate) in connection with any request for a Participated Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application submitted by any Borrower to such Fronting Bank relating to any Participated Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
(c) Expiration of Participated Letters of Credit. Each Participated Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the earlier of (i) the close of business on the date one year after the date of the Issuance of such Participated Letter of Credit, or (ii) the L/C Maturity Date; provided,
68

however, that at the applicable Borrower’s request a Participated Letter of Credit shall provide by its terms, and on terms acceptable to the applicable Fronting Bank, for renewal for successive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the L/C Maturity Date) unless and until the applicable Fronting Bank shall have delivered prior written notice of nonrenewal to the beneficiary of such Participated Letter of Credit no later than the time specified in such Participated Letter of Credit (which the applicable Fronting Bank shall do only if one or more of the applicable conditions under Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Letter of Credit Notice) is not then satisfied); provided that no Participated Letter of Credit shall be renewed after the Maturity Date. The applicable Fronting Bank shall promptly provide a copy of any such notice to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(d) Participations. By the Issuance of a Participated Letter of Credit (or the fronting for a Non-NAIC Bank in respect of a Syndicated Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.21) by the applicable Fronting Bank and without any further action on the part of the applicable Fronting Bank or the Banks, the applicable Fronting Bank hereby grants to each applicable Bank in respect of such Participated Letter of Credit (or to the Non-NAIC Bank in respect of such Syndicated Letter of Credit), and each such Bank (or such Non-NAIC Bank) hereby acquires from the applicable Fronting Bank, a participation in such Participated Letter of Credit (or such Syndicated Letter of Credit) in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Stated Amount of such Participated Letter of Credit (or such Syndicated Letter of Credit) and the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. Each Bank (or Non-NAIC Bank) acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Participated Letters of Credit (or, with respect to any Non-NAIC Bank, Syndicated Letters of Credit) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any such Letter of Credit or the existence of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the aggregate Commitments. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank (or Non-NAIC Bank) hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Fronting Bank, the Dollar Amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the applicable Fronting Bank in respect of any Participated Letter of Credit (or, with respect to any Non-NAIC Bank, Syndicated Letter of Credit) promptly upon the request of the applicable Fronting Bank at any time from the time such L/C Disbursement is made until such L/C Disbursement is reimbursed by the applicable Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be disgorged or refunded to any Borrower for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from any Borrower pursuant to Section 3.02(f), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Fronting Bank or, to the extent that any Bank or Non-NAIC Bank have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Fronting Bank, then to such Banks or Non-NAIC Bank and the applicable Fronting Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Bank or Non-NAIC Bank pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Fronting Bank for any L/C Disbursement made by it shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, effective upon the increase of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.19, each Bank’s participation in any
69

Participated Letter of Credit (and each Non-NAIC Bank’s participation in any Syndicated Letter of Credit) outstanding on such date shall be adjusted to reflect its Pro Rata Share after giving effect to such increase.
(e) Disbursement Procedures; Funding of Participations.
(i) The applicable Fronting Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof (and, in any event, within any time specified in the text of the relevant Participated Letters of Credit Issued by it), examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Participated Letter of Credit. The applicable Fronting Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or email) of such demand for payment and whether such Fronting Bank has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder. If such Borrower shall fail to reimburse the applicable Fronting Bank for such L/C Disbursement on the date and time specified in Section 3.02(f), the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Bank of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and the Dollar Amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Each applicable Bank (including any applicable Non-NAIC Bank) shall upon such notice make funds available to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of the applicable Fronting Bank at the Administrative Agent’s Account in an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Participated Letter of Credit, the Dollar Amount of its Pro Rata Share of the unpaid L/C Disbursement and (ii) in the case of a Non-NAIC Bank with respect to Syndicated Letters of Credit, the Dollar Amount of its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share if the Parent has made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to such Syndicated Letters of Credit) of such Syndicated Letters of Credit being fronted by such Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.21 (such amount, its “L/C Advance”) not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the applicable Fronting Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Fronting Bank under such Participated Letter of Credit (or such Syndicated Letter of Credit in the case of a Non-NAIC Bank), together with interest as provided herein.
(ii) If any Bank fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Fronting Bank any amount required to be paid by such Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.02(e) by the time specified in Section 3.02(e)(i), the applicable Fronting Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Bank (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the applicable Fronting Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the applicable Fronting Bank submitted to any Bank (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Until a Bank funds its L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 3.02(e) to reimburse
70

the applicable Fronting Bank for any L/C Disbursement made by it, interest in respect of such Bank’s L/C Advance shall be solely for the account of the applicable Fronting Bank.
(f) Reimbursement. Each Borrower agrees that it shall reimburse the applicable Fronting Bank in respect of any L/C Disbursement made under such Borrower’s Participated Letter of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to the Dollar Amount (calculated as of the L/C Disbursement Date) of such L/C Disbursement no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day following the L/C Disbursement Date (the “Participated L/C Honor Date”) with respect to such Participated Letter of Credit together with interest thereon payable as provided in Section 3.06. If the applicable Borrower fails to so reimburse the Banks by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount, and the amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Participated L/C Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02(a)(i) for the principal amount of Borrowings, but subject to the amount of the Unused Commitments, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing), and each Bank shall fund its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing as set forth in Section 2.02(b). If the Borrower is unable to request a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because it cannot satisfy each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing) or for any other reason, each Bank shall fund its L/C Advances as set forth in Section 3.02(e). Without limiting any other obligations of each Borrower hereunder, each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the applicable Fronting Bank in respect of any Participated Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency for any and all costs, expenses and losses incurred by it as a result of receiving payment or reimbursement for any L/C Disbursement thereunder from any Person in a Currency other than Dollars. Any such amount payable to any Fronting Bank shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand and submission by such Fronting Bank of satisfactory evidence reflecting the calculation of such amount, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(g) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after the applicable Fronting Bank has made a payment under any Participated Letter of Credit (or Syndicated Letter of Credit in the case of a Non-NAIC Bank) and has received from any Bank such Bank’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 3.02(e), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the applicable Fronting Bank any payment in respect of the related unpaid L/C Disbursement or interest thereon (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Bank its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Bank’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
71

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 3.02(e)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 2.12 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the applicable Fronting Bank in its discretion), each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Fronting Bank its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
(h) Failure to Make L/C Advances. The failure of any Bank to make the L/C Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 3.02(e) shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to make its L/C Advance on such date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the L/C Advance to be made by such other Bank on such date.
3.03 Existing Letters of Credit. The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Banks and the Banks agree that, as of the Effective Date:
(a) Each Existing Letter of Credit described on Schedule II Issued for the account of a Borrower and which remains outstanding as of the Effective Date shall be deemed Issued as of the Effective Date under this Agreement as a “Syndicated Letter of Credit” or “Participated Letter of Credit” as set forth on such schedule.
(b) As soon as possible following the Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit that is a Syndicated Letter of Credit (an “Existing Syndicated Letter of Credit”) shall be amended to replace each Existing Bank under the Existing Credit Agreement with each Bank under this Agreement at the time of such amendment in accordance with each such Bank’s Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share if the Parent has made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to such Syndicated Letters of Credit or in respect of an Issuing Bank acting as a Non-NAIC Fronting Bank), it being understood for the avoidance of doubt that such amendment shall not be deemed a Credit Extension hereunder. Until an Existing Syndicated Letter of Credit has been amended in accordance with this Section 3.03(b), each Existing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Bank, as the case may be, and each such Bank (each, a “Syndicated L/C Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Existing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share in respect of an Issuing Bank acting as a Non-NAIC Fronting Bank) in such Existing Syndicated Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder, the obligations of any account party under this Agreement with respect thereto and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments of the Banks hereunder, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Existing Syndicated Letters of Credit and unpaid drawings with respect thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) to reflect the new Pro Rata Share of each Bank. No Borrower shall be obligated to pay any fees or increase in fees as a result of any of the actions taken pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) other than the customary fees Wells Fargo requires in connection with the amendment of letters of credit.
72

(c) In the event that a drawing occurs under an Existing Syndicated Letter of Credit prior to its amendment as contemplated by this Section, each Syndicated L/C Participant shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Existing Bank under such Existing Syndicated Letter of Credit such Syndicated L/C Participant’s pro rata share of such Existing Syndicated Letter of Credit, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(b), plus, to the extent any Existing Bank (in its capacity as such) has made a payment to the beneficiary in respect of such drawing, interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from the time of such payment by the Existing Bank to the date such Syndicated L/C Participant makes such payment to the Administrative Agent. The obligation of each Syndicated L/C Participant to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Existing Banks with respect to Existing Syndicated Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, setoff or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including any of the circumstances set forth in Section 3.05.
3.04 Conditions Precedent to the Issuance of Letters of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to, and in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) below shall not, Issue any Letter of Credit if:
(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuance of such Letter of Credit or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over it shall prohibit, or request that it refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon it with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank or any Bank is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Effective Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, in effect or known to it as of the Effective Date;
(ii) the limitation on amounts set forth under Section 2.01 will be exceeded, immediately after giving effect thereto;

(v) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension unless the Required Banks have approved such expiry date;
73

(vi) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit is after the L/C Maturity Date, unless all of the Banks have approved such expiry date in writing;
(vii) such Letter of Credit is not in a form reasonably acceptable to, the applicable Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Agent or applicable Fronting Bank, as the case may be;
(viii) such Letter of Credit is denominated in a currency other than Dollars or a Foreign Currency; or

(x) with respect to the issuance of a Syndicated Letter of Credit, any Bank has advised the L/C Agent that it is a Non-NAIC Bank, unless either (A) such Bank has (1) entered into a Fronting Agreement with a Fronting Bank with respect to such Syndicated Letter of Credit or (2) complied with its obligations under Section 2.21(b) or (B) the applicable Borrower has made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election pursuant to Section 2.21(d).
3.05 Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligations of each Borrower with respect to an L/C Disbursement under any Letter of Credit Issued for its account and of any Bank (or any Non-NAIC Bank) to reimburse the applicable Fronting Bank with respect to any L/C Disbursement made by such Fronting Bank under any Participated Letter of Credit (or Syndicated Letter of Credit) shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(ix) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any guarantor, other than as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement.
None of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Bank or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility to any Borrower by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder, or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond their control; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Bank from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential or exemplary damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Bank, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
75

nonappealable judgment, when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.

Each L/C Disbursement made in respect of a Letter of Credit shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate until the date that is one Business Day following the L/C Disbursement Date, provided that if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed in full by 2:00 p.m. on the date that is one Business Day following the L/C Disbursement Date, the unpaid amount of the Reimbursement Obligation thereof shall bear interest from such date until such amount is paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus an additional 2% per annum, payable on demand. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Borrower and the applicable Banks of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of this Section.
3.07 Collateralization of Letters of Credit.
(a) (i) Upon (A) the Administrative Agent’s request given in accordance with Section 7.02 during the existence of an Event of Default, and (B) the L/C Maturity Date, each Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount equal to the product of the (i) the Cash Collateral Percentage multiplied by (ii) the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit Issued for the account of such Borrower outstanding at such time (whether or not any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit shall have drawn or be entitled at such time to draw thereunder) and (ii) in the event of a payment under Section 2.06(b), the Administrative Agent will retain such amount as may then be required to be retained, and the Administrative Agent shall deposit such amounts in each case under clauses (i) and (ii) in a special collateral account of such Borrower pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such account, the “Cash Collateral Account”) for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Banks, which Cash Collateral Account shall be established and maintained in the United States.
(b) Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Banks, a Lien upon and security interest in its Cash Collateral Account and all amounts held therein from time to time as security for the Letter of Credit Exposure relating to such Borrower, and for application to its aggregate Reimbursement Obligations as and when the same shall arise. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Banks and such Borrower shall have no interest therein except as set forth in Section 3.07(c). Amounts held in the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall not bear interest during the existence of an Event of Default.
(c) In the event of a drawing, and subsequent payment by any Issuing Bank, under any Letter of Credit at any time during which any amounts are held in the applicable Cash Collateral Account, the Administrative Agent will deliver to such Issuing Bank a Dollar Amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligation created as a result of such payment (or, if the amounts so held are less than such Reimbursement Obligation, all of such amounts) to reimburse such Issuing Bank therefor. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any such drawing is made, the applicable Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation shall be
76

Since December 31, 2016, there has been no Material Adverse Change.
81

(h) No written information, exhibit or report furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower to any Agent or any Bank in connection with the negotiation and syndication of the Loan Documents or pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading as at the date it was dated (or if not dated, so delivered) in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made.
(i) Margin Stock constitutes less than 25% of the value of those assets of any Borrower which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge or other disposition hereunder.
(j) Neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company”, or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company”, as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. Neither the making of any Loans, nor the Issuance of any Letters of Credit, nor the application of the proceeds or repayment thereof by any Borrower, nor the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, will violate any provision of such Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
(k) Each Borrower is, individually and together with its Subsidiaries, Solvent.
(l) Except to the extent that any and all events and conditions under clauses (i) through (v) below of this Section 5.01(l) in the aggregate are not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:
(i) Neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or is reasonably expected to incur any Withdrawal Liability to any Multiemployer Plan.
(ii) With respect to each scheme or arrangement mandated by a government other than the United States (a “Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement”) and with respect to each employee benefit plan that is not subject to United States law maintained or contributed to by any Borrower or with respect to which any Subsidiary of any Borrower may have liability under applicable local law (a “Foreign Plan”):
(A) Any employer and employee contributions required by law or by the terms of any Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement or any Foreign Plan have been made, or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance with normal accounting practices.
(B) The fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations, as of the date hereof, with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Plan according to the
82

actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to account for such obligations in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles.
(C) Each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities.
(iii) During the twelve-consecutive-month period prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the request for any Credit Extension hereunder, no steps have been taken to terminate any Pension Plan, no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a lien under section 302(f) of ERISA and no minimum funding waiver has been applied for or is in effect with respect to any Pension Plan. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Pension Plan which could result in any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate incurring any material liability, fine or penalty.
(iv) Each Pension Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and other federal or state laws.
(v) No assets of any Borrower are or are deemed under applicable law to be “plan assets” within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation §2510.3-101.

(m) In the ordinary course of its business, each Borrower reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on the operations and properties of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including any capital or operating expenditures required for clean‑up or closure of properties presently or previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties and any related costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, each Borrower has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The operations and
83

properties of each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries comply in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits, except for non-compliances which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; Hazardous Materials have not been released, discharged or disposed of on any property currently owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and there are no Environmental Actions pending or, to such Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against any Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and to such Borrower’s knowledge no circumstances exist that could be reasonably likely to form the basis of any such Environmental Action, which (in either case), individually or in the aggregate with all other such pending or threatened actions and circumstances, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed, has caused to be filed or has been included in all material federal tax returns and all other material tax returns required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown thereon to be due, together with applicable interest and penalties, except to the extent contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings (in which case adequate reserves have been established therefor in accordance with GAAP).
(o) Set forth on Schedule II hereto is a list of all Existing Letters of Credit.
(p) None of (i) the Parent, any Subsidiary of the Parent, or, to the knowledge of the Parent or such Subsidiary, any of their respective directors, officers, employees or Affiliates, or (ii) to the knowledge of the Parent, any agent or representative of the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Parent that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the Credit Facility, (A) is a Sanctioned Person or currently the subject or target of any Sanctions, (B) is controlled by or is acting on behalf of a Sanctioned Person, (C) has its assets located in a Sanctioned Country or (D) directly derives revenues from unlawful investments in, or transactions with, Sanctioned Persons.
(q) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates with all Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws and applicable Sanctions. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and to the knowledge of Borrower, each director, officer, employee, agent and Affiliate of Borrower and each such Subsidiary, is in compliance in all material respects with all Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Money Laundering Laws and applicable Sanctions. No proceeds of any Extension of Credit have been used, directly or indirectly, by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents in violation of Section 6.01(j). Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with the Patriot Act.
(r) Ten Non-Bank Rule and Twenty Non-Bank Rule. The Parent is in compliance with the Ten Non-Bank Rule and the Twenty Non-Bank Rule; it being understood that the Parent shall assume for the purpose of this representation that no Bank or Transferee has (i) incorrectly declared its status as a Qualifying Bank, (ii) breached the assignment, participation, sub-
84

participation or other transfer provisions set forth in Section 10.07 or (iii) ceased to be a Qualifying Bank after the date it became a Bank under this Agreement or otherwise a Transferee.

(c) Maintenance of Insurance. Maintain, and cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations in such amounts and covering such risks as is usually carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which the Parent or such Material Subsidiary operates (it being understood that the foregoing shall not apply to maintenance of reinsurance or similar matters which shall be solely within the reasonable business judgment of the Parent and its Subsidiaries).

Preserve and maintain, and cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to preserve and maintain, its existence, legal structure, legal name, rights (charter and statutory), permits, licenses, approvals, privileges and franchises; provided, however, that (i) the Parent and its Subsidiaries may consummate any merger or amalgamation or consolidation permitted under Section 6.02(c), (ii) no Subsidiary (other than a Borrower) shall be required to preserve and maintain its existence, legal structure, legal names or other rights (charter and statutory) if the Board of Directors of a direct or indirect parent of such Subsidiary has determined that such action is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Parent, such parent or the Banks, and (iii) neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to
85

preserve any right, permit, license, approval, privilege or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Parent or such Subsidiary shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Parent or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Parent, such Subsidiary or the Banks.
(e) Visitation Rights. At any reasonable time and from time to time upon not less than three Business Days prior notice, permit the Administrative Agent (upon request made by any Agent or any Bank), or any agents or representatives thereof, at the expense (so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing) of such Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, to examine and make copies of and abstracts from the records and books of account of, and visit the properties of, the Parent and any of its Subsidiaries, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Parent and any of its Subsidiaries with any of their officers or directors and with, so long as a representative of the Parent is present, their independent certified public accountants; provided that neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to disclose any information that it reasonably determines is entitled to the protection of attorney-client privilege or if such disclosure would violate any applicable law.

Conduct, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to conduct, all transactions otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents with any of their Affiliates (other than any such transactions between Borrowers or Wholly Owned Subsidiaries) on terms that are fair and reasonable and no less favorable than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.
(i) Pari Passu Ranking. Ensure that at all times the Obligations and the claims of the Banks, the Swingline Bank, the Issuing Banks and the Agents against it under the Loan Documents will rank at least pari passu with the claims of all its other unsecured and unsubordinated creditors, except for claims which are preferred by any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or other similar laws of general application or are mandatorily preferred by law applying to insurance companies generally.

ARTICLE VIII
THE GUARANTY
96

8.01 The Guaranty. The Parent hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of all Obligations of the other Borrowers under the Loan Documents including the principal of and interest (including, to the greatest extent permitted by law, post-petition interest) on Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing by such other Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit and fees, expenses, indemnities or any other obligations, whether now existing or hereafter incurred, created or arising and whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or due or to become due. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Upon failure by any Borrower to pay punctually any such amount, the Parent agrees to pay forthwith on demand the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement.
8.02 Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Parent under this Article VIII shall be unconditional, absolute and irrevocable and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other obligor for any reason of any of the Loan Documents, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any other obligor of principal interest or any other amount payable under any of the Loan Documents;
97

(vii) any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any obligation of the Banks’ rights with respect thereto; or
(viii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any obligor, the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Parent’s obligations under this Article VIII.
8.03 Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Parent’s obligations under this Article VIII shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments of the Banks and the Swingline Commitment of the Swingline Bank hereunder shall have terminated, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and all Obligations payable by the other Borrowers under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of any Obligation by a Borrower under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower or otherwise, the Parent’s obligations under this Article VIII with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.
8.04 Waiver by the Parent. The Parent irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any corporation or person against any other obligor or any other corporation or person.
8.05 Subrogation. The Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower, or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Parent’s obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Bank against any other Borrower, or any other insider guarantor or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any other Borrower, or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments of the Banks and the Swingline Commitment of the Swingline Bank hereunder shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment in full in cash of all amounts payable under this Guaranty, and (b) the L/C Maturity Date, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Banks, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Parent and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to all amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as collateral for any amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter
98

arising. If (i) the Parent shall make payment to any Bank of all or any amounts payable under this Guaranty, (ii) all amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, and (iii) the L/C Maturity Date shall have occurred, the Banks will, at the Parent’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Parent appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Parent of an interest in the obligations resulting from such payment made by the Parent pursuant to this Guaranty.
8.06 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Borrower under any of the Loan Documents is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Parent under this Article VIII forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the requisite proportion of the Banks.

Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, any Bank may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Commitment and the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Bank herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 10.07.
8.08 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Debt of any Borrower now or hereafter held by the Parent is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations of such Borrower, and any such Debt collected or received by the Parent after receipt of notice of an Event of Default (which has occurred and is continuing) by the Administrative Agent shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Banks to be credited and applied against such Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Parent under any other provision hereof.
ARTICLE IX
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Banks (for purposes of this Article, references to the Banks shall also mean each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
99

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Bank, the Banks and the Issuing Banks, and no Borrower shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
9.02 Rights as a Bank. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank 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 or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.
9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Bank in violation of any Bankruptcy Law; and
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any Affiliate thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith
100

shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 7.01, Section 7.02 and Section 10.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by a Borrower, an Issuing Bank or a Bank.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith (including, without limitation, any report provided to it by an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.09), (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) 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.
9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the Issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank or any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for one or more Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

9.06 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the Parent. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject (so long as no Event of Default exists) to the consent of the Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owing to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Section 9.06 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45 th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Banks shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Banks. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Syndication Agents, Documentation Agents or other agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or
102

any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Bank hereunder.
9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks, Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks, Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents, sub-agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Banks, Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same. Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments to the Banks or Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents, sub-agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.09 or 10.04. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.09 to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank or any Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Bank or any Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank or any Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.
9.10 Issuing Bank and Swingline Bank. The provisions of this Article IX (other than Section 9.06) shall apply to the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Bank mutatis mutandis to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, each Bank assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 5.01 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 any Agent, such assigning Bank 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 confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank.

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Banks shall 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 any Borrower or any Agent or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(g) Subject to Section 10.07(j), each Bank may, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than a natural Person, a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Borrower) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, and the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to it; provided, however, that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrowers, the Agents, the Swingline Bank 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, (iv) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, reimbursement obligations or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the reimbursement obligations or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation and (v) no further participation, sub-participation or other transfer by any participant of any rights or obligations thereunder may be made in violation of Section 10.07(j). Each Bank shall, as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers solely for the purposes of this Section 10.07, record in book entries in a register maintained by such Bank (the “Participant Register”), the name and amount (and stated interest)
112

of the participating interest of each Person entitled to receive payments in respect of any participating interests sold pursuant to this Section 10.07. 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(h) Any Bank may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to any Borrower furnished to such Bank by or on behalf of any Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Bank.
(i) Any Bank may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other applicable central bank; provided that (x) no such creation of a security interest shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Federal Reserve Bank or similar central bank for such Bank as a party hereto and (y) any foreclosure or similar action by such Federal Reserve Bank or similar central bank shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.07(j).
(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.07 or any other provision of this Agreement:
(i) Assignments. No Bank may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Commitment or Swingline Commitment or any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations owing to it) to any Person other than a Qualifying Bank, and any assignment by a Bank to a Non-Qualifying Bank shall be void. Prior to the effectiveness of any proposed assignment, the proposed assignee shall deliver to the assigning Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Parent (x) a certificate confirming that it is a Qualifying Bank and (y) if requested by the Parent, a copy of a ruling from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration to the effect that such assignee will be treated as a Qualifying Bank for purposes of Swiss Withholding Tax matters.
(ii) Other Transfers. Except for assignments permitted by clause (i) above, no Bank or initial or subsequent Transferee (as defined below) shall enter into any participation, sub-participation or other arrangement (e.g. a credit default swap) (any of the foregoing, a “Transfer”) under which such Bank or other Person (any of the foregoing, a “Transferor”) Transfers any of its exposure under this Agreement to any other Person (a “Transferee”) unless (x) the Transferee is a Qualifying Bank and agrees in writing, for the benefit of the Borrowers, that it
113

will not make any further Transfer in violation of this Section 10.07(j) or (y) under and throughout the life of such arrangement:
(A) the relationship between the Bank and the Transferee is that of a debtor and creditor (including in the bankruptcy or similar event of the Bank or a Borrower);
(B) the Transferee will have no proprietary interest in the benefit of this Agreement or in any monies received by the Bank under or in relation to this Agreement; and
(C) the Transferee will under no circumstances:
(1) be subrogated to, or substituted in respect of, the Bank's claims under this Agreement; and
(2) otherwise have any contractual relationship with, or rights against, the Borrower under or in relation to this Agreement.
(iii) All Assignments and Other Transfers. If any Bank or other Transferor makes an assignment or Transfer in violation of this Section 10.07(j), then (1) such Bank or Transferor shall reimburse and indemnify the Parent for all losses, liabilities, taxes, costs and expenses incurred by the Borrowers as a result thereof, including with respect to any amount paid by any Borrower to any other Bank as a result of such violation, and (2) the Parent shall not be required to make any increased payment to such Bank or Transferor or any assignee or Transferee thereof pursuant to Section 2.08(f) or Section 2.16. The provisions of this Section 10.07(j) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect if the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have become forthwith due and payable (at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).
10.08 Counterparts; Integration. 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures 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 or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State
114

Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
10.09 No Liability of the Issuing Banks. Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither an Issuing Bank nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not strictly comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that such Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to such Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such Borrower that such Borrower proves were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Banks may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.
10.10 Confidentiality. Neither any Agent nor any Bank shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the consent of the Parent, other than (a) to such Agent’s or such Bank’s Affiliates and their respective Related Parties who are informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and are or have been advised of their obligation to keep information of such type confidential and such Agent or Bank shall, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, be responsible for compliance with this paragraph by its Affiliates and Related Parties, in each case solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants, and to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement, and in each case provided that any such disclosure shall be made subject to the acknowledgment and acceptance by such Person that such information is being disseminated on a confidential basis (and they shall agree to be bound to substantially the same terms as are set forth in this paragraph or as are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Parent and the applicable Agent or Bank), (c) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process (in which case such party shall notify the Parent, in advance if practicable, to the extent permitted by law), (d) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign or supranational authority or examiner regulating such Bank or pursuant to any request of any self-regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of a Bank’s business of that of any of its Affiliates (in which case such party shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank
115

regulatory authority exercising examination, regulatory or supervisory authority, notify the Parent, in advance if practicable, to the extent lawfully permitted to do so), (e) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Borrowers received by it from such Bank, (f) to any other party hereto, (g) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (h) with the consent of the Parent, or (i) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Credit Facility. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the information subject to this Section 10.10 shall not include, and the Administrative Agent and each Bank may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Administrative Agent or such Bank relating to such tax treatment and tax structure (it being understood that this authorization is retroactively effective to the commencement of the first discussions between or among any of the parties regarding the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents); provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning such tax treatment or tax structure as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to such tax treatment or tax structure.
10.11 Jurisdiction, Etc.
(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, 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 be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal 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. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
116

defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City.
(c) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoints Mayer Brown LLP, with offices on the Effective Date at 1675 Broadway, New York, New York, 10019, USA as its agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf services of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any such action or proceeding. If for any reason such agent shall cease to be available to act as such, the Borrowers agree to promptly designate a new agent satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any such action or proceeding pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.11. In the event that any Borrower shall fail to designate such new agent, service of process in any such action or proceeding may be made on such Borrower by the mailing of copies thereof by express or overnight mail or courier, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address set forth opposite its signature below.
10.12 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
10.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE AGENTS AND THE BANKS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LOANS, THE LETTERS OF CREDIT, OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY AGENT OR ANY BANK IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
10.14 Disclosure of Information. Each Borrower agrees and consents to the Administrative Agent’s and the Banks’ disclosure of information relating to this transaction to Thomson Reuters, other bank market data collectors and similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Banks in connection with the administration of the Loan Documents. Such information will consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications. The Parent shall have the right to review and approve any such disclosure made by the Administrative Agent before such disclosure is made (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).
10.15 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with its normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of any Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Bank hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing
117

Bank or such Bank of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Bank may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Bank in the Agreement Currency, the applicable Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Bank, as applicable, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Bank in such currency, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Bank agrees to return the amount of any excess to the applicable Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
10.16 Certain Swiss Withholding Tax Matters.
(a) If the Ten Non-Bank Rule, the Twenty Non-Bank Rule or any other law, rule or guideline regarding Swiss Withholding Tax is amended in any material respect after the date of this Agreement, then the Parent or the Administrative Agent may (and, upon request of the Required Banks, the Administrative Agent shall), by written notice to the other, request that this Agreement be amended to reflect such change. Promptly after any such request, the Parent and the Administrative Agent shall enter into discussions regarding an amendment hereto that will place the parties hereto in substantially the same position (or in a different position acceptable to the Parent and the Required Banks) from a Swiss Withholding Tax perspective as they would have been in if the change had not happened. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Parent agrees that it will promptly agree to any amendment requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks that would ease the restrictions set forth in Section 10.07(j) if such amendment would not result in any greater risk that Swiss Withholding Tax would be applicable to any payment under this Agreement; and (ii) the Banks and the Administrative Agent agree that they will promptly agree to any amendment requested by the Parent that would change the restrictions set forth in Section 10.07(j) if such amendment is necessary to avoid the risk that Swiss Withholding Tax would be applicable to any payment under this Agreement and is not unduly burdensome to the Banks.
(b) Each Bank agrees that it will, and will cause any Person to which it sells any participation to, promptly notify the Parent and the Administrative Agent if for any reason it ceases to be a Qualifying Bank. Without limiting the foregoing, if at any time the Parent reasonably believes that any Bank’s status for Swiss Withholding Tax purposes has changed, then the Parent may request that such Bank (and each Bank agrees that under such circumstances it will) promptly confirm whether it is a Qualifying Bank or a Non-Qualifying Bank.
10.17 USA PATRIOT Act; Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Each Bank that is subject to the Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act or any other Anti-Money Laundering Laws, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as
118

applicable, to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act or such Anti-Money Laundering Laws.
10.18 Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement, effective from and after the Effective Date. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of any indebtedness or other obligations owing to the Banks or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement based on facts or events occurring or existing prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. On the Effective Date, the credit facilities described in the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be amended, supplemented, modified and restated in their entirety by the facilities described herein, and all loans, letters of credit and other obligations of the Borrowers outstanding as of such date under the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be deemed to be loans and obligations outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein, without any further action by any Person, except that the Administrative Agent shall make such transfers of funds as are necessary in order that the outstanding balance of such Loans, together with any Loans funded on the Effective Date, reflect the Commitments of the Banks hereunder.
10.19 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.
(a) In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) the facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrowers and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Banks, on the other hand, and the Borrowers are capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof), (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Banks is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person, (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or the Banks has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrowers with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any Joint Lead Arranger or Bank has advised or is currently advising any Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or the Banks has any obligation to any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the financing transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, (iv) the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Banks and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or the Banks has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary
119

relationship and (v) the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Banks have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate.
(b) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Bank, each Joint Lead Arranger and any Affiliate thereof may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower, any Affiliate thereof or any other person or entity that may do business with or own securities of any of the foregoing, all as if such Bank, Joint Lead Arranger or Affiliate thereof were not a Bank or Joint Lead Arranger or an Affiliate thereof (or an agent or any other person with any similar role under the Credit Facility) and without any duty to account therefor to any other Bank, the Joint Arrangers, the Borrowers or any Affiliate of the foregoing. Each Bank, the Joint Lead Arrangers and any Affiliate thereof may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower or any Affiliate thereof for services in connection with this Agreement, the Credit Facility or otherwise without having to account for the same to any other Bank, the Joint Lead Arrangers, any Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing.
10.20 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA 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 an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA 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 EEA 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 Document; or

Except to the extent the amount of this Letter of Credit may be increased, this Letter of Credit cannot be modified or revoked without your written consent, provided that this Letter of Credit may be amended to delete a Bank or add a Bank or change Percentage Obligations so long as such amendment does not decrease the amount of this Letter of Credit, and need only be signed by the L/C Agent so long as any Bank added shall be approved by the Securities Valuation Office of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
