Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and as part of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, each U.S. Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a loan or loans (individually a “U.S. Revolving Loan” and collectively the “U.S. Revolving Loans”) in U.S. Dollars to the U.S. Borrowers from time to time on a revolving basis before the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each Borrowing of U.S. Revolving Loans shall be made ratably by the U.S. Lenders in proportion to their respective U.S. Revolver Percentages. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, U.S. Revolving Loans may be repaid and the principal amount thereof reborrowed before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) Multicurrency Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and as part of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, each Multicurrency Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a loan or loans (individually an “Multicurrency Revolving Loan” and collectively the “Multicurrency Revolving Loans”) in (i) U.S. Dollars or Alternative Currencies to the U.K. Borrowers and (ii) Alternative Currencies to the U.S. Borrowers, in each case from time to time on a revolving basis before the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each Borrowing of Multicurrency Revolving Loans hereunder shall be made ratably by the Multicurrency Lenders in proportion to their respective Multicurrency Revolver Percentages. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Multicurrency Revolving Loans may be repaid and the principal amount thereof reborrowed before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
(c) General. With respect to each Credit Utilization, after giving effect to such Credit Utilization:
(i) the sum of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Revolving Credit Exposure for all Lenders at any time outstanding shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in effect at such time;
(ii) the sum of the U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure for all Lenders at any one time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to (A) the U.S. Dollar Commitments in effect at such time minus (B) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of Multicurrency Revolving Loans outstanding at such time;
(iii) the sum of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of Multicurrency Revolving Loans at any one time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to (A) the Multicurrency Commitments in effect at such time minus (B) the U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure for all Lenders outstanding at such time;
(iv) the sum of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure shall not at any time exceed such Lender’s Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the sum of any Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed such Lender’s U.S. Dollar Commitment, and the sum of any Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Multicurrency Commitment; and

(d) Several Obligations. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint.
-2-

Section 1.2 Term Loan Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a loan (individually a “Term Loan” and collectively for all the Lenders the “Term Loans”) in U.S. Dollars to the Company in the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. The Term Loans shall be advanced in a single Borrowing on the Closing Date and shall be made ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Term Loan Percentages, at which time the Term Loan Commitments shall expire. As provided in Section 1.4, the Company may elect that the Term Loans be outstanding as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans.
Section 1.3. Letters of Credit.
(a) General Terms. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations hereof (including those set forth in Section 1.1 hereof), as part of the U.S. Revolving Facility, the Applicable Issuer shall issue Financial Letters of Credit or Performance Letters of Credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) under the U.S. Revolving Facility for the account of a Borrower and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries in U.S. Dollars or Alternative Currencies in an aggregate undrawn face amount up to the L/C Sublimit; provided, no Applicable Issuer shall be required to issue a Letter of Credit hereunder if, after giving effect to such Letter of Credit, the aggregate undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Applicable Issuer and any affiliate of the Applicable Issuer would exceed the Applicable Issuer’s Cap. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued by the Applicable Issuer, but each U.S. Lender shall be obligated to reimburse the Applicable Issuer for such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Revolver Percentage of the amount of each drawing thereunder in accordance with the terms hereof and, accordingly, each Letter of Credit shall constitute usage of the U.S. Dollar Commitment of each U.S. Lender pro rata in an amount equal to its U.S. Revolver Percentage of the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Obligations then outstanding. As of the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder. Each Letter of Credit shall conform to the Applicable Issuer’s policies as to form and shall be a Letter of Credit which the Applicable Issuer may lawfully issue. Each Letter of Credit shall support payment of an obligation of the Borrower which applies for such Letter of Credit or an obligation of such Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiary or of a Strategic Venture or other joint venture permitted by Section 7.12 hereof in which the applicant or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries has an equity interest.
(b) Applications. At any time before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Applicable Issuer shall, subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, at the request of the Company (which is acting on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof), issue one or more Letters of Credit, in a form satisfactory to the Applicable Issuer, in an aggregate face amount not to exceed the L/C Sublimit and the relevant Applicable Issuer’s Cap upon the receipt of an application and reimbursement agreement, if applicable, for the relevant Letter of Credit in the form customarily prescribed by the Applicable Issuer for the type of Letter of Credit in question, duly executed by the Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued (each such application together with the related reimbursement agreement, if any, being referred to herein as an “Application”). Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall (a) be payable, as determined by the Company acting on behalf of the applicable Borrower, in U.S. Dollars or an Alternative Currency and (b) expire not later than (i) the Revolving Credit Termination Date for Letters of Credit issued by Bank of Montreal and (ii) the date which is five days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date for
-3-

Letters of Credit issued by an Applicable Issuer other than Bank of Montreal; provided, that in the sole discretion of the Agent and the Applicable Issuer, one or more Letters of Credit may be issued and renewed with an expiration date after the Revolving Credit Termination Date (but no later than one year after the Revolving Credit Termination Date) so long as the applicable Borrower deposits with the Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date Cash Collateral to be held in accordance with Section 8.4(b) hereof in an amount not less than 105% of the face amount of such Letters of Credit (it being understood that the participations of the Lenders (other than the Applicable Issuer) in any such Letter of Credit shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Termination Date to the extent such Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized in accordance with the foregoing). Notwithstanding anything contained in any Application to the contrary, (i) the applicable Borrower’s obligation to pay fees in connection with each Letter of Credit shall be as exclusively set forth in Section 3.3 hereof, (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12, 2.13 or Section 3.5 hereof or during existence of an Event of Default, the Applicable Issuer will not call for the funding by such Borrower of any amount under a Letter of Credit, or any other form of collateral security (other than the Collateral, if any, and the Guaranty Agreements) for such Borrower’s obligations in connection with such Letter of Credit, before being presented with a drawing thereunder, and (iii) if the Applicable Issuer is not timely reimbursed for the amount of any drawing under a Letter of Credit on the date such drawing is paid, upon written notice from the Applicable Issuer the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Applicable Issuer for the amount of such drawing shall bear interest (which the relevant Borrower hereby promises to pay) from and after the date such drawing is paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans from time to time in effect. The Issuer will promptly notify the Agent of each request for a Letter of Credit and of the issuance of a Letter of Credit and the Agent shall promptly thereafter so notify each of the Lenders. If an Applicable Issuer issues any Letters of Credit with expiration dates that are automatically extended unless such Applicable Issuer gives notice that the expiration date will not so extend beyond its then scheduled expiration date, such Applicable Issuer will give such notice of non‑renewal before the time necessary to prevent such automatic extension if before such required notice date (i) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit if so extended would be after the Revolving Credit Termination Date unless the Borrowers provide Cash Collateral in accordance with this Section 1.3(b), (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments have been terminated, or (iii) an Event of Default exists and the Required Lenders have given the Applicable Issuer instructions not to so permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby confirm and agree that each Applicable Issuer’s obligation to issue, amend or extend the expiration date of a Letter of Credit is subject to the conditions of Section 6, the other terms of this Section 1.3 and the other provisions of this Agreement, and such Applicable Issuer will not issue, amend or extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit if the Agent or the Required Lenders notify in writing such Applicable Issuer of any Default or Event of Default that is continuing and direct the Applicable Issuer not to take such action.
(c) The Reimbursement Obligation. (i) Subject to Section 1.3(b) hereof, the obligation of a Borrower to reimburse the Applicable Issuer for all drawings under a Letter of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) shall be governed by the Application related to such Letter of Credit, except that reimbursement of each drawing shall be made in immediately available funds at the designated office of the Applicable Issuer by no later than 12:00 Noon (local time at the issuing office
-4-

of the Applicable Issuer) on the date when such drawing is paid in the case of payment before 12:00 Noon (local time at the issuing office of the Applicable Issuer), and in all other cases by 12:00 Noon (local time at the issuing office of the Applicable Issuer) of the next Business Day. If the relevant Borrower does not make any such reimbursement payment on the date due and the applicable Participating Lenders fund their participations therein in the manner set forth in Section 1.3(d) below, then all payments thereafter received by the Applicable Issuer in discharge of any of the relevant Reimbursement Obligations shall be distributed in accordance with Section 1.3(d) below.
(ii) The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Applicable Issuer as provided in subsection (c)(i) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant Application under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Applicable Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. None of the Agent, the Lenders, or the Applicable Issuers shall have any liability or responsibility 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 (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), 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 the control of the Applicable Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Applicable Issuer from liability to the relevant Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the such Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by the Applicable Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Applicable Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Applicable Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Applicable Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(d) The Participating Interests. Each U.S. Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to purchase from the Applicable Issuer, and the Applicable Issuer hereby agrees to sell to each such U.S. Lender (a “Participating Lender”), an undivided percentage participating interest (a “Participating Interest”), to the extent of its U.S. Revolver Percentage, in each Letter of Credit issued by, and each Reimbursement Obligation owed to, the Applicable Issuer. Upon any failure by a Borrower to pay any Reimbursement Obligation in respect of a Letter of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account at the time required on the date the related drawing is paid, as set forth in Section 1.3(c) above, or if the Applicable Issuer is required at any time to return to a Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any portion of any payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, each applicable Participating Lender shall, not later than (i) with respect to payments required to be made in U.S. Dollars, the Business Day it receives a certificate from the Applicable Issuer to such effect, if such certificate is received before 1:00 p.m. (local time at the office of the Issuer), or not later than the following Business Day, if such certificate is received after such time, and (ii) with respect to payments required to be made in an Alternative Currency, not later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such certificate pay to the Applicable Issuer an amount equal to its U.S. Revolver Percentage, of such unpaid or recaptured Reimbursement Obligation together with interest on such amount accrued from the date such payment is required under this clause (d) to the date of such payment by such Participating Lender at a rate per annum equal to (i) from the date the related payment by such Participating Lender is required to be made under this clause (d) to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Participating Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Participating Lender to the date such payment is made by such Participating Lender, the rate per annum determined by adding the Applicable Margin to the Base Rate in effect for each such day. Each such Participating Lender shall thereafter be entitled to receive its U.S. Revolver Percentage of each payment received in respect of the relevant Reimbursement Obligation and of interest paid thereon, with the Applicable Issuer retaining its Percentage as a Lender hereunder.
The several obligations of the Participating Lenders to the Issuers under this Section 1.3 shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever (except, to the extent such Borrower is relieved from its obligation to reimburse the Applicable Issuer for a drawing under a Letter of Credit due solely to the Applicable Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in determining that documents received under the Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof as determined by a final, non‑appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall not be subject to any set‑off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Participating Lender may have or have had against any one or more of the Borrowers, the Agent, any other Lender or any other Person whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of any Aggregate Revolving Commitment of any Lender, and each payment by a Participating Lender under this Section 1.3 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. The Agent shall be entitled to offset amounts received for the account of a Lender under this Agreement against unpaid amounts due from such Lender hereunder (whether as fundings of participations, indemnities or otherwise).
-6-

(e) Indemnification. Each of the Participating Lenders shall, to the extent of their respective Percentages, indemnify the Applicable Issuers (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result solely from the Applicable Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non‑appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that the Applicable Issuers may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit. The obligations of the Participating Lenders under this Section 1.3(e) and all other parts of this Section 1.3 shall survive termination of this Agreement and of all other L/C Documents.
(f) Effect of the Applications. To the extent that any provision of an Application relating to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply.
Section 1.4. Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates .
(a) Notice to the Agent. The Company (which is acting on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof) shall give notice to the Agent by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time): (i) at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which the applicable Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or a Borrowing in an Alternative Currency and (ii) on the date the applicable Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified in such notice of a new Borrowing. Thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirement for each outstanding Borrowing set forth in Section 1.5 hereof, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans or, with respect to a Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans or (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, the Company may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by the Company (acting on behalf of the applicable Borrower). The Borrowers acknowledge that no Multicurrency Revolving Loan may be requested as, or converted into, a Base Rate Loan. The Company shall give all such notices requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to the Agent in accordance with Section 1.7(b) hereof. Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans must be given by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All such notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, if the Borrowing such Borrowing is a Revolving Loan, whether it is under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility or the U.S. Revolving Facility, and if such Borrowing is under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility, the currency (whether in U.S. Dollars
-7-

or an Alternative Currency) of the Multicurrency Revolving Loan. Any such written notice of an advance of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto or such other under form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Agent. Upon notice to the Company by the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, in the case of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(k) or 8.1(l) hereof with respect to any Borrower, without notice), no Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be advanced, continued, or created by conversion if any Default or Event of Default then exists.
(b) Notice to the Lenders. The Agent shall give prompt telephonic, facsimile or other telecommunication notice to each Lender of any notice from a Borrower received pursuant to Section 1.4(a) above, and, if such notice requests the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans, the Agent shall give notice to the Company and each Lender by like means of the interest rate applicable thereto promptly after the Agent has made such determination.
(c) Borrower’s Failure to Notify. If the Company fails to give notice pursuant to Section 1.4(a) above of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 1.4(a) and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 3.4, such Borrowing shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (or, if such Borrowing is an Alternative Currency, such Borrowing shall be continued for an Interest Period of one month). In the event the applicable Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 1.4(a) above of a Borrowing equal to the amount of a Reimbursement Obligation and has not notified the Agent by 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the day such Reimbursement Obligation becomes due that it intends to repay such Reimbursement Obligation through funds not borrowed under this Agreement, such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans under the U.S. Revolving Facility (or, at the option of the Swing Line Lender, under the Swing Line) on such day in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then due, which Borrowing shall be applied to pay the Reimbursement Obligation then due.
(d) Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing, subject to Section 6 hereof, each Lender shall make available its Loan comprising part of such Borrowing (i) that is denominated in U.S. Dollars in funds immediately available at the principal office of the Agent in Chicago, Illinois (or at such other location as the Agent shall designate) or, (ii) that is denominated in an Alternative Currency at such office as the Agent has previously agreed to with the relevant Borrower, in each case in the currency received by the Agent from the Lenders.
(e) Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, by 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date on which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and the Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the relevant Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Agent the amount made available to such Borrower attributable to such Lender together
-8-

with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to such Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Agent at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related advance was made by the Agent to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day, (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender to the date such payment is made by such Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day, or (iii) in the case of a Multicurrency Revolving Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, the cost to the Agent of funding the amount it advanced to fund such Multicurrency Lender’s Revolving Loan, as determined by the Agent. If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Agent immediately upon demand, the applicable Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.
(f) Availability of Alternative Currency. The Multicurrency Lenders’ obligations to make Multicurrency Revolving Loans in an Alternative Currency or to provide or participate in Letters of Credit payable in an Alternative Currency shall always be subject to such Alternative Currency being freely available to each of them in the relevant market. If any Multicurrency Lender reasonably determines that such currency requested is unavailable to it in the amount and for the term requested it shall so notify the Agent within one Business Day of its receipt of the aforesaid notice and the Agent shall promptly notify the Company and each other Multicurrency Lender of its receipt of such notice and the request of the Company for the Borrowing in the Alternative Currency in question shall otherwise be deemed withdrawn.
Section 1.5. Minimum Borrowing Amounts. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than $2,000,000, or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000, and each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000, or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000.
Section 1.6. Maturity of Loans .
(a) Scheduled Payments of Term Loans. The Borrowers shall make principal payments on the Term Loans in installments on the last day of each March, June, September, and December in each year, commencing with the first full calendar quarter ending after the Closing Date, with the amount of each such principal installment to equal $5,000,000, with a final payment of all principal and interest not sooner paid on the Term Loans due and payable on Term Loan Maturity Date. Each such principal payment shall be applied to the Lenders holding the Term Loans pro rata based upon their Term Loan Percentages.
(b) Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Loan, both for principal and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and be due and payable by the Borrowers on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.
-9-

(b) Swing Loans. Each Swing Loan, both for principal and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and be due and payable by the Borrowers on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.
Section 1.7. Appointment of Company as Agent for Borrowers; Reliance by Agent .
(a) Appointment. Each Borrower irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent hereunder to make requests on such Borrower’s behalf under Section 1 hereof for Borrowings to be made by such Borrower and for Letters of Credit to be issued for such Borrower’s account and to take any other action contemplated by the Loan Documents with respect to credit extended hereunder to such Borrower. The Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to conclusively presume that any action by the Company under the Loan Documents is taken on behalf of any one or more of the Borrowers whether or not the Company so indicates.
(b) Reliance. All requests for Borrowings and selection of interest rates, currencies and Interest Periods applicable thereto may be written or oral, including by telephone, facsimile, or other telecommunication device acceptable to the Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given). The Borrowers agree that the Agent may rely on any such notice given by any person the Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation (the Borrowers hereby indemnifying the Agent and Lenders from any liability or loss ensuing from such reliance), and in the event any such telephonic or other oral notice conflicts with any written confirmation, such oral or telephonic notice shall govern if the Agent has acted in reliance thereon.
Section 1.8. Swing Loans. (a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the U.S. Revolving Facility, the Swing Line Lender may, in its discretion, make loans in U.S. Dollars to the Company under the Swing Line (individually a “Swing Loan” and collectively the “Swing Loans”) which shall not in the aggregate at any time outstanding exceed the Swing Line Sublimit. The Swing Loans may be requested by the Company from time to time and Borrowings thereunder may be repaid and used again during the period ending on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that each Swing Loan must be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each Swing Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000.
(b) Interest on Swing Loans. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to (i) the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans under the U.S. Revolving Facility as from time to time in effect or (ii) the Quoted Rate. Interest on each Swing Loan shall be due and payable prior to such maturity on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto.
(c) Requests for Swing Loans. The Company shall give the Agent prior notice (which may be written or oral), no later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) on the date upon which the Company requests that any Swing Loan be made, of the amount and date of such Swing Loan, and the Interest Period requested therefor. The Agent shall promptly advise the Swing Line Lender of any such notice received from the Company. Within 30 minutes after receiving such notice, the Swing Line Lender shall in its discretion quote an interest rate to the Company at which the Swing Line Lender would be willing to make such Swing Loan available to the Company for the Interest Period so requested (the rate so quoted for a given Interest Period
-10-

being herein referred to as “Quoted Rate”). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the interest rate quote is given for immediate and irrevocable acceptance. If the Company does not so immediately accept the Quoted Rate for the full amount requested by the Company for such Swing Loan, the Quoted Rate shall be deemed immediately withdrawn and such Swing Loan shall bear interest at the rate per annum determined by adding the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans under the U.S. Revolving Facility to the Base Rate as from time to time in effect. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the proceeds of such Swing Loan shall be made available to the Company on the date so requested at the offices of the Agent in Chicago, Illinois.
(d) Refunding Loans. In its sole and absolute discretion, the Swing Line Lender may at any time, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf for such purpose) and with notice to the Agent and the Company, request each U.S. Lender to make a U.S. Revolving Loan in the form of a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such U.S. Lender’s Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(k) or 8.1(l) exists with respect to the Company, regardless of the existence of any other Event of Default, each U.S. Lender shall make the proceeds of its requested U.S. Revolving Loan available to the Agent (for the account of the Swing Line Lender), in immediately available funds, at the Agent’s principal office in Chicago, Illinois, before 12:00 Noon (Chicago time) on the Business Day following the day such notice is given. The proceeds of such Borrowing of U.S. Revolving Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the outstanding Swing Loans.
(e) Participations. If any Lender refuses or otherwise fails to make a U.S. Revolving Loan when requested by the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 1.8(d) above (due to the existence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(k) or 8.1(l)), such U.S. Lender will, by the time and in the manner such U.S. Revolving Loan was to have been funded to the Swing Line Lender, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an undivided participating interest in the outstanding Swing Loans in an amount equal to its U.S. Revolver Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans that were to have been repaid with such U.S. Revolving Loans. Each U.S. Lender that so purchases a participation in a Swing Loan shall thereafter be entitled to receive its U.S. Revolver Percentage of each payment of principal received on the Swing Loan and of interest received thereon accruing from the date such U.S. Lender funded to the Swing Line Lender its participation in such U.S. Revolving Loan. The several obligations of the U.S. Lenders under this Section shall be absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set‑off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Lender may have or have had against the Company, any other Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Lender or any other Person whatever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of the U.S. Dollar Commitments of any U.S. Lender, and each payment made by a U.S. Lender under this Section shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
Section 1.9. Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, the relevant Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before
-11-

entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Loans owing by it at a rate per annum equal to:
(a) for any Base Rate Loan or any Swing Loan bearing interest based on the Base Rate, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;
(b) for any Eurodollar Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars or any Swing Loan bearing interest at the Quoted Rate, the sum of 2.0% plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such Event of Default until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect; and
(c) for any Eurodollar Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, the sum of 2.0% plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such Event of Default until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin, plus a rate of two percent (2.0%) plus the rate of interest per annum as determined by the Agent (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest whole multiple of one‑sixteenth of one percent (1/16%)) at which overnight or weekend deposits of the appropriate currency (or, if such amount due remains unpaid more than three Business Days, then for such other period of time not longer than six months as the Agent may elect in its absolute discretion) for delivery in immediately available and freely transferable funds would be offered by the Agent to major banks in the interbank market upon request of such major banks for the applicable period as determined above and in an amount comparable to the unpaid principal amount of any such Loan (or, if the Agent is not placing deposits in such currency in the interbank market, then the Agent’s cost of funds in such currency for such period).
provided, however, that in the absence of acceleration, any adjustments pursuant to this Section shall be made at the election of the Agent, acting at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders, with written notice to the Borrowers. While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, interest shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders.
Section 1.10. Increase in Commitment . Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may, on any Business Day on or prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, from time to time, increase the aggregate amount of the U.S. Dollar Commitments and/or the Multicurrency Commitments by delivering a Commitment Amount Increase Request in the form of Exhibit D hereto at least five (5) Business Days prior to the desired effective date of such increase (the “Commitment Amount Increase”) identifying an additional Lender acceptable to the Agent and each Applicable Issuer in its reasonable discretion or additional U.S. Dollar Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment agreed to be made by any existing Lender (each such additional Lender or existing Lender (in its capacity as such) being referred to as an “Additional Lender”) and the amount of its U.S. Dollar Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment (or additional amount of its U.S. Dollar Commitment and/or Multicurrency Commitment). The aggregate amount of all such Commitment Amount Increases shall not exceed
-12-

$400,000,000. The effective date of the Commitment Amount Increase shall be agreed upon by the Company, such Additional Lender and the Agent (whose agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Upon the effectiveness thereof, each Additional Lender shall advance the relevant Revolving Loans and purchase Participating Interests in all then outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient such that after giving effect to such relevant Revolving Loans and purchases each Lender (including such Additional Lender) shall have outstanding its respective Percentage of the aggregate Revolving Loans and Participating Interests then outstanding. It shall be a condition to such effectiveness that no Eurodollar Loans be outstanding on the date of such effectiveness unless the Borrowers pay all amounts due under Section 2.5 hereof, and that the Company shall not have terminated any portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 3.5(a) hereof. The Company agrees to pay any reasonable fees or expenses of the Agent (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) relating to any Commitment Amount Increase. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Aggregate Revolving Commitment and no Lender’s Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Aggregate Revolving Commitment.
Section 1.11. Removal of a Borrower. The Company may remove any Restricted Subsidiary as a Borrower (a “Removed Borrower”) hereunder so long as (i) the Company has provided the Agent prior written notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of such removal, (ii) all Reimbursement Obligations of, all Revolving Loans made to, the Removed Borrower and all accrued interest owing thereon are paid in full on or prior to the effective date of such removal, (iii) no Letters of Credit issued on the account of such Removed Borrower are outstanding unless the Agent has received Cash Collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the face principal amount of such Letters of Credit or such Removed Borrower has entered into other arrangements with the Agent and the Applicable Issuer satisfactory to the Agent and such Applicable Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit, (iv) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the removal of such Removed Borrower, and (v) the removal of such Removed Borrower does not have a Material Adverse Effect on such Removed Borrower’s ability to continue to provide its Guaranty and pledge of Collateral as required hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing, the Lenders and the Issuers shall not be obligated to make Loans to, or issue Letters of Credit on account of, such Removed Borrower. The Company cannot designate a Restricted Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder if such Borrower has been a Removed Borrower.
Section 1.12. Conversions. For all purposes of this Agreement, where a determination of the used, unused or available amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or of the outstanding amount of Credit Utilizations is necessary, Credit Utilizations payable in an Alternative Currency shall be converted into their U.S. Dollar Equivalent. Such conversions shall be made on the date of each Credit Utilization in an Alternative Currency as to that Credit Utilization and all Credit Utilizations shall be converted into their U.S. Dollar Equivalent as of the last day of each month or at the time of each Credit Utilization should the Agent so elect. If the last day of a month is not a Business Day, such conversion shall be made as of the next Business Day. The Agent shall promptly notify the Company of such determination of a U.S. Dollar Equivalent and of the basis therefor. All Credit Utilizations and interest thereon shall be repaid in the currency in which they were effected.
-13-

SECTION 2. | INTEREST.

Section 2.1. Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (which the relevant Borrower promises to pay in arrears at the times herein provided) at the rate per annum determined by adding the Applicable Margin to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time, provided that if a Base Rate Loan is not paid when due (whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise), such Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (which the relevant Borrower promises to pay at the times hereinafter provided), whether before or after judgment, and until payment in full thereof, at the rate per annum specified in Section 1.9 hereof. Interest on the Base Rate Loans shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year (beginning on the first of such dates after the date hereof) and at maturity of the Revolving Loans and interest after maturity shall be due and payable upon demand.
Section 2.2. Eurodollar Loans. Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (which the relevant Borrower promises to pay in arrears at the times herein provided) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding from the date of the Borrowing of such Eurodollar Loan until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus Adjusted LIBOR, payable on the last day of the applicable Interest Period and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, if the applicable Interest Period is longer than three months, on the date occurring three months after the date of the Borrowing of such Loan; provided that if a Eurodollar Loan is not paid when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), such Loan shall bear interest (which the relevant Borrower promises to pay at the times herein provided) from the date such payment was due until paid in full, payable on demand, at the rate per annum specified in Section 1.9 hereof.
Section 2.3. Rate Determinations. The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder in accordance herewith, and its determination thereof shall be deemed prima facie correct.
Section 2.4. Computation of Interest, Fees and Charges. All interest on Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is not based on the LIBOR Quoted Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed. All interest on Eurodollar Loans, Swing Loans bearing interest at the Quoted Rate, and Base Rate Loans based on the LIBOR Quoted Rate (and unless otherwise stated herein, all fees, charges and commissions due hereunder) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed, except for Eurodollar Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling which shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.
Section 2.5. Funding Indemnity. If any Lender shall incur any loss (other than loss of profits), cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re‑employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Lender) as a result of:
(i) any payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period for any reason,
-14-

(ii) any failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Borrowing or otherwise) by a Borrower to borrow or continue a Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan, or to convert a Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan or such Swing Loan, in each case on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to this Agreement,
(iii) any failure by a Borrower to make any payment of principal on any Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise),
(iv) any acceleration of the maturity of a Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, or
(v) any assignment of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of the request of the Company pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof;
then, upon the demand of such Lender, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Company, with a copy to the Agent, a certificate executed by an officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be deemed prima facie correct.
Section 2.6. Change of Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if any Change in Law makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or continue to maintain Loans in an Alternative Currency or Eurodollar Loans or to perform its obligations with respect to such Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company and such Lender’s obligations to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans or Loans in an Alternative Currency (as applicable) under this Agreement shall be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Loans. The applicable Borrower shall prepay on demand the outstanding principal amount of any such affected Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts then due and payable to such Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the applicable Borrower may then elect to borrow the principal amount of the affected Loans (other than Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency) from such Lender by means of Base Rate Loans from such Lender, which Base Rate Loans shall not be made ratably by the Lenders but only from such affected Lender.
-15-

Section 2.7. Unavailability. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans:
(a) the Agent determines that deposits in the applicable currency (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to it in the eurocurrency interbank market for such Interest Period, or that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurocurrency market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR, or
(b) the Required Lenders notify the Agent that (i) LIBOR as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Eurodollar Loans in the currency in question for such Interest Period or (ii) that the making or funding of Eurodollar Loans in the relevant currency has become impracticable, in either case as a result of an event occurring after the date hereof which in the opinion of such Lenders materially adversely affects such Loans,
then and in any such event the Agent shall not less than two days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans in the currency so affected or to make Eurodollar Loans (as applicable) shall be suspended.
Section 2.8. Increased Cost. (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR) or any Issuer;
(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such
-16-

additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Issuer reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuer or such Lender’s or Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuer or such Lender’s or Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Company, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.8 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six‑month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 2.9. Lending Offices; Mitigation Obligations. Each Lender may, at its option, elect to make its Loans hereunder at the branch, office or affiliate specified in its Administrative Questionnaire (each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to the Company and the Agent (but such funds shall in any event be made available to the Company in accordance with Section 1.4(d) hereof); provided that the Company shall not be required to reimburse any Lender under any of the provisions of this Section 2 for any cost which such Lender would not have incurred but for changing its Lending Office unless the Company consented in writing to such change or has requested the change pursuant to this Section 2.9. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.8, requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender

pursuant to Section 11.1, or gives a notice pursuant to Section 2.6, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.8 or 11.1, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for notice pursuant to Section 2.6, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Section 2.10. Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations under this Agreement shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market and in the relevant currency having a maturity corresponding to such Eurodollar Loan’s Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to Adjusted LIBOR for the currency in question for such Interest Period.
Section 2.11. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.8, if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 11.1, or if any Borrower receives notice from any Lender of any illegality pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.9, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non‑Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.17), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.8 or Section 11.1) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
(i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.17;
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in L/C Obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.5 as if the Loans owing to it were prepaid rather than assigned) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);
-18-

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.8 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 11.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and
(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non‑Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 2.12. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’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 Lenders.
(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.27 hereto shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuer or the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize such Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.13; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.13; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuers or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
-19-

eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate 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 6.1 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non‑Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Percentages of the relevant Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.12(a)(iv) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain Fees.
(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.13.
(C) With respect to any L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non‑Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such Non‑Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
-20-

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans shall be reallocated among the Non‑Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages of the relevant Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Loans and interests in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans of any Non‑Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non‑Defaulting Lender’s Aggregate Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 11.31 hereof, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non‑Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non‑Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v) Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swing Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Applicable Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages of the relevant Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.12(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c) New Swing Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Loan and (ii) no Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
-21-

Section 2.13. Cash Collateral for Fronting Exposure. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Agent or any Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.12(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than 105% of such Fronting Exposure.
(a) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuers, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the Issuers as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than 105% of the Fronting Exposure, the Borrowers shall, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.13 or Section 2.12 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Agent and each Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.13, the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by any Borrower or Guarantor, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

SECTION 3. | FEES, PAYMENTS, REDUCTIONS, APPLICATIONS AND NOTATIONS.

Section 3.1. Commitment Fee. For the period from the Closing Date to and including the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a non‑refundable commitment fee at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the average daily Unused Commitments. Such fee is due and payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the first of such dates after the date hereof) and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.
-22-

Section 3.2. Other Fees. The Company shall pay to the Agent such other and additional fees as may from time to time be agreed to between the Company and the Agent.
Section 3.3. Letter of Credit Fees. The applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable account of the relevant Lenders, a fee on the amount of the L/C Obligations from time to time outstanding (the “L/C Participation Fee”) computed at the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed), each such fee to be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. In addition, on the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall pay the Applicable Issuer for its own account an issuance fee of 1/8 of 1% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit, such fee to be retained by the Applicable Issuer for its own account. In addition, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Applicable Issuer such issuing, processing, drawing, amendment and other fees and charges as the Applicable Issuer customarily imposes in connection with the issuance of letters of credit of the type in question, the payment of drafts thereunder or amendments thereto.
Section 3.4. Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the privilege of prepaying without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 2.5 above) and in whole or in part (but, if in part, then: (i) in an amount not less than $2,000,000, or such lesser amount as may then be outstanding, and (ii) in each case, in an amount such that the minimum amount required for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof remains outstanding) any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans at any time upon three (3) Business Days prior notice by the Company to the Agent or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Swing Loans, notice delivered by the Company to the Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date of prepayment, such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any Term Loans or Eurodollar Loans or Swing Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment plus any amounts due the Lenders under Section 2.5 hereof. Prepayments of the Loans shall be applied to the outstanding Obligations in accordance with Section 3.5(c) hereof.
Section 3.5. Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) Commitments. In the event that (i) the Revolving Credit Exposure for all Lenders shall at any time and for any reason exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; (ii) the U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure for all Lenders shall at any time exceed an amount equal to (A) the U.S. Dollar Commitments minus (B) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of Multicurrency Revolving Loans; (iii) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of Multicurrency Revolving Loans shall exceed an amount equal to (A) the Multicurrency Commitments minus (B) the U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure for all Lenders outstanding at such time; or (iv) the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and/or L/C Obligations owing from the Borrowers shall exceed any applicable Sublimit, in each case for any reason (including changes in currency rates), the relevant Borrowers shall immediately and without notice or demand pay the amount of the excess to the Agent as and for a mandatory prepayment on the relevant Revolving Loans or, if the Revolving Loans have been paid in full but L/C Obligations are outstanding, then and in any such event, such excess shall be paid over to the Agent to be applied against, or held as Cash Collateral with respect to such L/C Obligations.
-23-

(b) The Borrowers shall, on each date the U.S. Dollar Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 3.6, prepay the U.S. Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and, if necessary, prefund the L/C Obligations by the amount, if any, necessary to reduce the sum of the U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure for all Lenders then outstanding to the amount to which the U.S. Dollar Commitments have been so reduced. The Borrowers shall, on each date the Multicurrency Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 3.6, prepay the Multicurrency Revolving Loans by the amount, if any, necessary to reduce the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Multicurrency Revolving Loans then outstanding to the amount to which the Multicurrency Commitments have been so reduced.
(c) Unless the Company otherwise directs, prepayments of Loans under Section 3.4 and this Section 3.5 shall be applied first to Borrowings of Base Rate Loans until payment in full thereof with any balance applied to Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans in the order in which their Interest Periods expire. No amount of the Term Loans paid or prepaid may be reborrowed, and, in the case of any partial prepayment, such prepayment shall be applied to the remaining payments on the Term Loans on a ratable basis among all such remaining amortization payments based on the principal amounts thereof.
Section 3.6. Commitment Terminations.
(a) Voluntary Terminations. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Agent (or such shorter period of time agreed to by the Agent), to terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments without premium or penalty and in whole or in part, any partial termination to be in an amount not less than $5,000,000, provided that the Aggregate Revolving Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposure for all Lenders then outstanding. Any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments below any Sublimit then in effect shall reduce such Sublimit by a like amount. The Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of any such termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.
(b) If a portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments are terminated in accordance with this Section 3.6, the U.S. Dollar Commitment and the Multicurrency Commitment shall also terminate by an amount determined by multiplying the amount of the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments by the percentage of the U.S. Dollar Commitment or Multicurrency Commitment, as applicable, to the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to such termination; provided that with respect to any voluntary terminations pursuant to clause (a) above, (i) the U.S. Dollar Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of the U.S. Revolving Credit Exposure for all Lenders then outstanding, and (ii) the Multicurrency Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the aggregate principal amount of all Multicurrency Loans outstanding. Any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, U.S. Dollar Commitments or the Multicurrency Commitments shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver Percentage, U.S. Dollar Revolver Percentage and Multicurrency Revolver Percentage, as the case may be.
Section 3.7. Place and Application. All payments of principal, interest and fees shall be made to the Agent at its office at 111 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois (or at such other place as the Agent may
-24-

specify) in immediately available and freely transferable funds at the place of payment by no later than 12:00 Noon Central Time on the due date thereof or, if such payment is to be made in an Alternative Currency, by no later than 12:00 Noon local time at the place of payment to such office as the Agent has previously specified; provided however that reimbursements of drawings under Letters of Credit shall be made to the Applicable Issuer. Any payments received by the Agent or such Applicable Issuer after such time shall be deemed received as of the opening of business on the next Business Day. All such payments shall be made (i) in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds at the place of payment, or (ii) in the case of Multicurrency Revolving Loans or reimbursement of drawings under a Letter of Credit in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative Currency then customary for settlement of international transactions in such currency. All such payments shall be made without set‑off or counterclaim and without reduction for, and free from, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, charges, deductions, withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature imposed by any Government Authority thereof. Except as herein provided, all payments shall be received for the ratable account of the Lenders and shall be distributed by the Agent to the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages on the date the Agent receives payment, or if the Agent receives payment later than 12:00 Noon Central Time, then no later than the next Business Day. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuers hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the 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 Lenders or the Issuers, 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 Lenders or the Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuer, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the distribution was made to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for each such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender to the date such payment is made by such Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day.
Anything contained herein to the contrary or in the other Loan Documents notwithstanding, all payments and collections received in respect of the Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral, if any, and payments made under or in respect of the Guaranty Agreements received, in each instance, by the Agent or any of the Lenders after acceleration or the final maturity of the Obligations or termination of the Lender’s Commitment to extend credit hereunder as a result of an Event of Default shall be remitted to the Agent and distributed as follows:
(a) first, to the payment of any outstanding reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in monitoring, verifying, protecting, preserving or enforcing the Liens on the Collateral, if any, or by the Agent in protecting, preserving or enforcing rights under the Loan Documents, and in any event all costs and expenses of a character which the Borrowers have agreed to pay under Section 11.5 hereof (such funds to be retained by the Agent for its own account unless the Agent has previously been reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Lenders, in which event such
-25-

amounts shall be remitted to the Lenders to reimburse them for payments theretofore made to the Agent);
(b) second, to the payment of principal and interest on the Swing Loans until paid in full;
(c) third, to the payment of any outstanding interest or other fees or amounts due under the Loan Documents, in each case other than for principal or in reimbursement or Cash Collateralization of L/C Obligations, ratably as among the Agent and the Lenders in accordance with the amount of such interest and other fees or amounts owing each;
(d) fourth, to the payment of the principal of the Loans and any unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and to the Agent to be held as Cash Collateral for any other L/C Obligations (until the Agent is holding an amount of cash equal to the then outstanding amount of all such L/C Obligations), for any principal amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 11.20 hereof, and Hedging Liability, the aggregate amount paid to or held as Cash Collateral for the Lenders and, in the case of Hedging Liability, their Affiliates, to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the then aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof;
(e) fifth, to the Agent and the Lenders ratably in accordance with the amounts of any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of the Borrowers owing to each of them unless and until all such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities have been fully paid and satisfied; and
(f) sixth, to the Company on behalf of the Borrowers (each Borrower hereby agreeing that its recourse for its share of such payment shall be to the Company and not the Agent or any Lender) or whoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto.
Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from the Borrowers and the other Guarantors to preserve the allocations to the Obligations and Hedging Liability otherwise set forth above in this Section 3.7.
Section 3.8. Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b) The Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the type thereof, the Interest Period with respect thereto, and the currency in which such Loan is denominated, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lender’s share thereof.
-26-

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.17(c), the entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.
(d) Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or notes in the forms of Exhibit A‑1 (in the case of its Term Loans and referred to herein as a “Term Note”), A‑2 (in the case of its Revolving Loans and referred to herein as a “Revolving Credit Note”), or A‑3 (in the case of its Swing Loans and referred to herein as a “Swing Note”), as applicable (the Term Notes, Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Note being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Notes” and individually as a “Note”). In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in the amount of the Term Loan Commitment, Aggregate Revolving Commitment or Swing Line Sublimit, as applicable. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 11.17) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 11.17, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in subsections (a) and (b) above.
Section 3.9. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor is made to the Agent, any Issuer or any Lender, or the Agent, any Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent, such Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for each such day.

SECTION 4. | THE COLLATERAL AND THE GUARANTEES .

Section 4.1. The Collateral. Upon the Collateral Release Date, the Agent shall terminate and release all Liens securing the Obligations and Hedging Liability.

The Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrowers and Guarantors and constitute valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers and Guarantors enforceable in accordance with their terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not, nor does the performance or observance by any Borrower or Guarantor of any of the matters and things herein or therein provided for, contravene or constitute a default under any provision of law or any judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon any Borrower or Guarantor or any provision of the charter, articles of incorporation or organization or by‑laws of any Borrower or Guarantor or any covenant, indenture or agreement of the Borrowers or Guarantors or affecting any of their Properties, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of the Borrowers or Guarantors.

In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuer, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuer unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the 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.
Section 10.5. Delegation of Duties. The 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 Agent. The 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 Section shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub‑agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided hereby as well as activities as Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub‑agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub‑agents.
Section 10.6. Resignation of Agent. (a) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States of America. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation
-87-

(or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. If on the Resignation Effective Date no successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the Agent’s rights in the Collateral Documents shall be assigned without representation, recourse or warranty to the Lenders and Issuer as their interests may appear. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring Agent), and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
Section 10.7. Non‑Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 10.8. Issuers and Swing Line Lender. Each Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Swing Line Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to the Swing Loans made hereunder. The Issuers and the Swing Line Lender shall each have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agent in this Section 10 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the Applications pertaining to such Letters of Credit or by the Swing Line Lender in connection with Swing Loans made or to be made hereunder as fully as if the term “Agent”, as used in this Section 10, included the Issuers and the Swing Line Lender with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to such Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable. Any resignation by the Person then acting as Agent pursuant to Section 10.6
-88-

shall also constitute its resignation or the resignation of its Affiliate as Issuer and Swing Line Lender except as it may otherwise agree. If such Person then acting as an Issuer so resigns, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding that have been issued by such Issuer as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to Section 1.8. If such Person then acting as Swing Line Lender resigns, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Loans pursuant to Section 1.8. Upon the appointment by the Company of a successor Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts that remain owing to the retiring Issuer or Swing Line Lender), and (ii) the retiring Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents other than with respect to its outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Loans, and (iii) upon the request of the resigning Issuer, the successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigning Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the resigning Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
Section 10.9. Hedging Liability . By virtue of a Lender’s execution of this Agreement or an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 11.17, as the case may be, any Affiliate of such Lender with whom any Borrower or any Subsidiary has entered into an agreement creating Hedging Liability shall be deemed a Lender party hereto for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom the Agent is acting, it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of such Affiliate under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Affiliate’s right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral and the Guaranty Agreements as more fully set forth in Section 3.7. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections, or any request for the release of the Guaranty Agreements and the Agent’s Liens in connection with the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations, the Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due to any Lender or its Affiliate with respect to Hedging Liability unless such Lender has notified the Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it or its Affiliate prior to such distribution or payment or release of the Guaranty Agreements and Liens.
Section 10.10. Designation of Additional Agents. The Agent shall have the continuing right, with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for purposes hereof, at any time and from time to time to designate one or more of the Lenders (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “book runners,” “lead arrangers,” “arrangers,” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive effect, and such Lenders and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof.
-89-

Section 10.11. Authorization to Enter into, and Enforcement of, the Collateral Documents; Possession of Collateral . The Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders and the Issuers to execute and deliver the Collateral Documents on behalf of each of the Lenders, the Issuers, and their Affiliates and to take such action and exercise such powers under the Collateral Documents as the Agent considers appropriate; provided that subject to the last paragraph of Section 11.4, the Agent shall not amend the Collateral Documents unless such amendment is agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent shall take such action to enforce its Lien on the Collateral and to preserve and protect the Collateral as may be directed by the Required Lenders. Unless and until the Required Lenders give such direction, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Lenders and Issuers. Each Lender and Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it will be bound by the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents upon the execution and delivery thereof by the Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary in connection therewith, nor shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders, the Issuers or their Affiliates for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. The Lenders and Issuers hereby irrevocably authorize (and each of their Affiliates holding any Hedging Liability entitled to the benefits of the Collateral shall be deemed to authorize) the Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by the Agent (or any security trustee therefore) under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, including pursuant to Sections 9‑610 or 9‑620 of the Uniform Commercial Code, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or at any sale or foreclosure conducted by the Agent or any security trustee therefore (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, no Lender, Issuer, or their Affiliates, other than the Agent, shall have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral or for the execution of any trust or power in respect of the Collateral or for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other remedy under the Collateral Documents; it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Lenders or Issuers or their Affiliates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the Lien of the Agent (or any security trustee therefor) under the Collateral Documents by its or their action or to enforce any right thereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had, and maintained by the Agent (or its security trustee) in the manner provided for in the relevant Collateral Documents for the benefit of the Lenders, the Issuers, and their Affiliates. Each Lender and Issuer is hereby appointed agent for the purpose of perfecting the Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender or Issuer (other than the Agent) obtain possession of any Collateral, such Lender or Issuer shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions.
-90-

Section 10.12. Authorization to Release, Limit or Subordinate Liens or to Release Guaranty Agreements . The Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders, the Issuers, and their Affiliates to (a) release any Lien covering any Collateral that is sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the relevant Collateral Documents (including a Disposition permitted by the terms of Section 7.13 (including the sale of all of the capital stock of a Restricted Subsidiary permitted by such section) or which has otherwise been consented to in accordance with Section 11.4), (b) release or subordinate any Lien on Collateral consisting of goods financed with purchase money indebtedness or under a Capital Lease to the extent such purchase money indebtedness or Capitalized Lease Obligation, and the Lien securing the same, are permitted by Sections 7.10 and 7.11, (c) reduce or limit the amount of the indebtedness secured by any particular item of Collateral to an amount not less than the estimated value thereof to the extent necessary to reduce mortgage registry, filing and similar tax, (d) release Liens on the Collateral following the Collateral Release Date or the termination or expiration of the Commitments and payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent and the relevant Issuer) and, if then due, Hedging Liability (other than Hedging Liability under any Interest Rate Protection and other Hedging Agreements as to which arrangements shall have been made that are reasonably satisfactory to the Lender (or such Lender’s Affiliate, if applicable) to which such Hedging Liability is owed), and (e) release any Restricted Subsidiary from its obligations as a Guarantor if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including the sale of all of the capital stock of such Restricted Subsidiary permitted by such Section 7.13). Upon the Agent’s request, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Property or to release any Person form its obligations as a Guarantor under the Loan Documents.
Section 10.13. Authorization of Agent to File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower or Material Restricted Subsidiary, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders, the Issuers and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuers and the Agent under the Loan Documents including, but not limited to, Sections 2.5, 2.8, 3.1, 3.3, and 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
-91-

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuer to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuers, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 11.5. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuer or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuer in any such proceeding.

SECTION 11. | MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 11.1. Withholding Taxes. (a) Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes any Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or Guarantor under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Borrower or Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers and Guarantors. The Borrowers and Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers and Guarantors. The Borrowers and Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail a description of such Indemnified Taxes and the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
-92-

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower or Guarantor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers and Guarantors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.16 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection (e).
(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower or Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Borrower or Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will enable the Company or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender 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 11.1(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender, (it being understood that providing any information currently required by any U.S. federal income tax withholding form shall not be considered prejudicial to the position of a Lender).
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W‑9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
-93-

withholding tax; provided, however, that if the Lender is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it shall provide the appropriate withholding form of its owner (together with appropriate supporting documentation);
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W‑8BEN (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W‑8BEN (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W‑8ECI (or successor form);
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate in a form acceptable to the Agent to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W‑8BEN (or successor form); or
(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W‑8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W‑8ECI, IRS Form W‑8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate acceptable to the Agent, IRS Form W‑9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable (or successor form); provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate acceptable to the Agent on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction
-94-

in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. 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 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out‑of‑pocket expenses (including 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 subsection (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 subsection (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (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 had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection 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.
-95-

(i) Agent. The Agent shall provide to the Company two duly‑signed, properly completed copies of the documentation prescribed in clause (i) or (ii) below, as applicable (together with all required attachments thereto): (i) IRS Form W‑9 or any successor thereto, or (ii) (A) IRS Form W‑8ECI or any successor thereto, and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Lender, a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W‑8IMY or any successor thereto evidencing its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as U.S. Person for U.S. federal withholding purposes. At any time thereafter, the Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Company.
(j) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(k) Timely Notification. With respect to a claim by a Recipient for indemnification or payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 11.1, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Recipient for any amount in respect of which the Recipient has received notice of claim, adjustment or assessment more than six (6) months prior to the date that such person notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 6‑month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(l) Additional United Kingdom Withholding Tax Matters. (i) Subject to (ii) below, each Lender and each UK Borrower which makes a payment to such Lender shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.
(ii) (A) A Lender on the day on which the U.K. Borrower initially requests a Borrowing hereunder or the issuance of a Letter of Credit that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall promptly provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Agent; and
(B) a Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the date the U.K. Borrower requests the initial Borrowing or issuance of a Letter of Credit that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall, upon becoming a Lender, provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Agent, and
(C) Upon satisfying either clause (A) or (B) above, such Lender shall have satisfied its obligation under paragraph (l)(i) above
-96-

(iii) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (l)(ii) above, the UK Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender, and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing; provided that, if:
(A) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender; or
(B) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but:
(1) such Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or
(2) HM Revenue & Customs has not given such UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for tax within 60 days of the date of such Borrower DTTP Filing;
and in each case, such UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing of either (1) or (2) above, then such Lender and such UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.
(iv) If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (l)(ii) above, no UK Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender's Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees.

Section 11.2. Holidays. If any payment of principal or interest on any of the Loans or any fees shall fall due on a Saturday, Sunday or on another day which is a legal holiday for lenders in the State of New York, (i) interest at the rates such Loans bear for the period prior to maturity shall continue to accrue on such principal from the stated due date thereof to and including the next succeeding Business Day and (ii) such principal, interest and fees shall be payable on such succeeding Business Day.
-97-

Section 11.3. No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Agent, any Issuer or any Lender or on the part of the Agent, any Issuer or any holder of any of the Obligations in the exercise of any power or right shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise of any other power or right.

The Borrowers agree to indemnify and save the Lenders, the Issuers, the Agent and any of their respective Related Parties and any security trustee for the Agent or the Lenders harmless from any and all liabilities, losses, reasonable costs and reasonable expenses incurred by the Lenders, the Issuers or the Agent or any of their respective Related Parties in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought against the Agent, or the Issuers, any security trustee or any Lender or any of their respective Related Parties by any Person which arises out of the transactions contemplated or financed by any of the Loan Documents or out of any action or inaction by the Agent, any security trustee or any Lender thereunder or any of their respective Related Parties, except for liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (x) caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified or any of its Related Parties, or the material breach by any Lender of its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) incurred by such Affiliate to the extent any such liability,
-99-

loss, cost or expense does not directly relate to or arise from the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. Other than with respect to Taxes resulting from Change in Law, this Section 11.5(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non‑Tax claim.

(d) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder.
Section 11.6. No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Agent, any Issuer, or any Lender, or on the part of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations, in the exercise of any power or right under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Agent, the Issuers, the Lenders, and of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.
Section 11.7. Survival of Representations and Indemnities.

All indemnities and other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
Section 11.8. Construction. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall not be construed more favorably in favor of one than the other based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement.

-101-

only upon receipt. Upon the Company’s request, the Agent shall provide the Company with a copy of each Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire within two Business Days of Company’s request therefor.
Section 11.10. Obligations Several. The obligations of the Lenders and Issuers hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders or Issuers pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders and Issuers a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.
Section 11.11. Headings. Article and Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 11.12. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable.
Section 11.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 11.14. Binding Nature and Governing Law. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrowers and their successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders and the benefit of their successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of an interest in the Obligations. This Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto shall be construed and determined in accordance with, and shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York (including Section 5‑1401 and Section 5‑1402 of the General Obligations law of the State of New York) without regard to principles of conflicts of law that would cause the internal laws of any other jurisdiction to apply. No Borrower may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of all of the Lenders.
Section 11.15. Entire Understanding. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and any agreements between the Company and the Agent concerning fees, constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.
Section 11.16. Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) or the Company or any Guarantor or any their Affiliates or Subsidiaries, a Defaulting Lender or a Sanctioned Person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this
-102-

Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuers and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.8 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would reduce the amount of or postpone any fixed date for payment of any Obligation in which such participant has an interest. The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.5, 2.8, and 11.1 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 11.1(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 11.1(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.17(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 1.1, 1.8 and 2.9 as if it were an assignee under Section 11.7(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 11.1 or 2.8, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except, in the case of a Participant to which the Company has consented, to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.11 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.27 (Right of Setoff) as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.26 (Sharing of Payments by Lenders) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (but subject to Section 11.30 hereof), maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103‑1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or as otherwise required under applicable law. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 11.17. Assignments. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent, each Issuer and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.16, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (d) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (in each case with respect to any Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts. (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the relevant Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of any Facility, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non‑pro rata basis.
-104-

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received written notice thereof;
(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) the Revolving Facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such Revolving Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, or (ii) any Term Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C) the consent of the Issuers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and
(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Swing Loans (whether or not then outstanding).

The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person).
-105-

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, each Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans in accordance with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 11.5 and 11.27 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.16.
(c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Chicago, Illinois a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
-106-

(d) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto; provided further, however, the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank) to further transfer all or any portion of the rights pledged or granted to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Section 11.18. Terms of Collateral Documents not Superseded. Subject to Section 10.7 hereof, nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to permit any act or omission which is prohibited by the terms of any Collateral Document, the covenants and agreements contained herein being in addition to and not in substitution for the covenants and agreements contained in the Collateral Documents.
Section 11.19. PERSONAL JURISDICTION and Jury Trial Waivers.
(a) EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION (b), THE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE BORROWERS AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY (AND EACH OF THEM FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE OTHERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF) THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, BUT EACH OF THE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE BORROWERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK. THE BORROWERS WAIVE IN ALL DISPUTES ANY OBJECTION THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO THE LOCATION OF THE COURT CONSIDERING THE DISPUTE.
(b) OTHER JURISDICTIONS. THE BORROWERS AGREE THAT THE AGENT, AND EACH OF THE LENDERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWERS OR THEIR PROPERTY (“PROPERTY”) IN A COURT IN ANY LOCATION OR JURISDICTION TO ENABLE THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO REALIZE ON PROPERTY, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER ENTERED IN FAVOR OF THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER AND, WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO COMMENCE PROCEEDINGS (WHETHER FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING OR ENFORCING ANY ORDER OR JUDGMENT OR OTHERWISE HOWSOEVER) IN THE COURTS OF THE JURISDICTIONS WHERE SUCH BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS PROPERTY IS LOCATED.
-107-

(c) Jury Trial Waiver. The Borrowers, the Agent, and each Lender hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby.
Section 11.20. Currency. Each reference in this Agreement to U.S. Dollars or to an Alternative Currency (the “relevant currency”) is of the essence. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligation of each Borrower in respect of any amount due in the relevant currency under this Agreement or any Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the relevant currency that the Agent, Issuer or Lender entitled to receive such payment may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the Business Day immediately following the day on which such party receives such payment. If the amount in the relevant currency so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due in the relevant currency, the Borrowers shall pay such additional amounts, in the relevant currency, as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligations of the Borrowers not discharged by such payment shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, shall continue in full force and effect.
Section 11.21. Currency Equivalence. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower on the Obligations in the currency expressed to be payable herein or in an Application or under any other Loan Documents (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties agree that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due to the Agent, any Issuer or any Lender on the Obligations shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent, such Issuer or such Lender, as applicable, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, the Agent, such Issuers or such Lender, as applicable, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent, such Issuers or such Lender in the specified currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Agent, such Issuers or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the amount originally due to the Agent, such Issuer or such Lender in the specified currency, the Agent, such Issuer or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrowers.
Section 11.22. Change in Currency.
