SECTION Section 1.04. Conversion of Foreign Currencies.
(a) Dollar Equivalents. The Administrative Agent may determine the Dollar Amount of any amount as required hereby, and a determination thereof by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination of any Dollar Amount by any Co-Borrower. The Administrative Agent may determine or redetermine the Dollar Amount of any amount on any date either in its own discretion or upon the request of any Bank, including the Dollar Amount of any Loan or Letter of Credit made or issued in an Available Currency.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) any representation or warranty that would be untrue or inaccurate, (ii) any undertaking that would be breached or (iii) any event that would constitute a Default or an Event of Default, in each case, solely as a result of fluctuations in applicable currency exchange rates, shall not be deemed to be untrue, inaccurate, breached or so constituted, as applicable, solely as a result of such fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

SECTION Section 1.05. Calculation of Financial Ratios. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 825 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of Carlisle or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein, (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Debt under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 or 2015-03 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Debt in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Debt shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof and (iii) in a manner such that any obligations relating to a lease that was accounted for as an operating lease as of the Effective Date and any similar lease entered into after the Effective Date shall be accounted for as obligations relating to an operating lease and not as a capital lease.
SECTION Section 1.06. Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in dollars or an Available Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discounted discontinued, and/or the bases basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017 On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public: immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, the spot next, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to consultation by the FCA,
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 39
-

be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-In Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, Section 8.01(b) provides and (c) provide a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify applicable parties as and when required by the Co-Borrowers, pursuant to Section 8.01(d), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Term Benchmark Loans is based. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate Daily Simple SONIA, LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” (or “EURIBOR Rate”, “TIBOR Rate” or “CDOR Rate”, as applicable) or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 8.01(b), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 8.01(c)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Daily Simple SONIA, the LIBO Rate (or the EURIBOR Rate, the TIBOR Rate or the CDOR Rate, as applicable) or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank offered rate or the Tokyo interbank offered rate, as applicable) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability other than, in each case, to the extent of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. Nothing in this Section shall constitute a representation or warranty by a Co-Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries nor can it constitute the basis of any Default or Event of Default.. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any Daily Simple SONIA, any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Co-Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any SONIA, Daily Simple SONIA or the Term Benchmark Rate, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Co-Borrowers, any Bank or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
SECTION Section 1.07. Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 40
-

amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time.
SECTION Section 1.08. Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person.

Any such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Money Market Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Money Market Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the applicable Co-Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Money Market Quote Request, (B) the respective principal amounts and Money Market Margins or Fixed Rate as the case may be, so offered and (C) if applicable, limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers in any single Money Market Quote may be accepted.

In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Notice of Money Market Borrowing”) shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The applicable Co-Borrower may accept any Money Market Quote in whole or in part; provided that:
(i) the failure of the applicable Co-Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each Money Market Quote;
(ii) the applicable Co-Borrower shall not accept a Money Market Quote made at a particular Money Market Quote Rate if the applicable Co-Borrower rejects a Money Market Quote made at a lower Money Market Quote Rate; provided, that to the extent necessary to comply with this clause (ii), the applicable Co-Borrower may accept Money Market Quotes at the same Money Market Quote Rate in part, which acceptance, in the case of multiple Money Market Quotes at such Money Market Quote Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Money Market Quote;

SECTION Section 2.04. Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans.

(c) Bank Funding Assumed Made. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Co-Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Bank has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Bank on the one hand and the Co-Borrowers jointly and severally on the other, severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Co-Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Bank, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (including without limitation the Overnight Available Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in an Available Currency) or (ii) in the case of the Co-Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans.

The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Bank of any such notice received from Carlisle.

Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Bank, specifying in such notice such Revolving Bank’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans.

The Administrative Agent shall notify Carlisle of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to such Swingline Banks. Any amounts received by the Swingline Bank from a Co-Borrower (or other party on behalf of a Co-Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Bank of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any

The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Co-Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.
(d) The Swingline Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Carlisle, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Bank and the successor Swingline Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement of the Swingline Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Co-Borrowers shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Bank pursuant to Section 2.08(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Swingline Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Bank under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swingline Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Bank, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Banks, as the context shall require.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Credit Event in any Available Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Credit Event was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the Co-Borrowers are not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Co-Borrowers hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Co-Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.
(c) If any Bank shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Bank receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Bank, then the Bank receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Banks to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Banks ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Co-Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to any Co-Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each of the Co-Borrowers consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Bank acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Co-Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct creditor of such Co-Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received, prior to any date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks or the Issuing Banks pursuant to the terms hereof or any other Loan Document (including any date that is fixed for prepayment by notice from any Co-Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.12(b)), notice from
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 55

Carlisle or any Co-Borrower that the Co-Borrowers will not make such payment or prepayment, the Administrative Agent may assume that a Co-Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Banks or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if no Co-Borrower has in fact made such payment, then each of the Banks or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Bank or Issuing Bank 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 Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (including without limitation the Overnight Available Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in an Available Currency).
SECTION Section 2.14. [Reserved].
SECTION Section 2.15. [Reserved].
SECTION Section 2.16. Method of Electing Interest Rates.
(a) Committed Borrowings. The Loans included in each Committed Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by Carlisle in the applicable Notice of Committed Borrowing. Thereafter, Carlisle may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject to Section 2.16(d) and the provisions of Article VIII and not including any Money Market Loans or Swingline Loans), as follows:
(i) if such Loans are ABR Loans, Carlisle may elect to convert such Loans to Eurodollar Term Benchmark Loans as of any Eurodollar Business Day ;
(ii) if such Loans are Available Currency Loans, the Co-Borrowers may elect to continue such Loans as Available Currency Loans, as of the end of any Interest Period applicable thereto, for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 8.04 if any such conversion is effective on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loans; and
(iii) if such Loans are Eurodollar Term Benchmark Loans, Carlisle may elect to convert such Loans to ABR Loans as of any Domestic Business Day or may elect to continue such Loans as Eurodollar Term Benchmark Loans, as of the end of any Interest Period applicable thereto, for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 8.04 if any such conversion is effective on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loans.
Each such election shall be made by delivering an Interest Election Request to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time): (A) in the case of conversion to or continuation of a Eurodollar Term Benchmark Loan, on the third Eurodollar Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective; and (B) in the case of conversion to an ABR Loan, on the Domestic Business Day of the conversion. Any Interest Election Request applicable to the continuation of an Available Currency Loan shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent’s office designated for such purpose not later than 10:30 A.M. (Available Currency Office time) three Available Currency Business Days before the proposed continuation. A Interest Election Request may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each at least $10,000,000 (unless such portion is comprised of ABR Loans). If no such notice is timely received
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 56
-

before the end of an Interest Period for any Group of Eurodollar Term Benchmark Loans, the Co-Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected that such Group of Loans be converted to ABR Loans at the end of such Interest Period. If no such notice is timely received before the end of an Interest Period for any Group of Available Currency Loans, the Co-Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected that such Group of Loans be continued for an Interest Period of one month.
(b) Contents of Interest Election Request. Each Interest Election Request shall specify:
(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;
(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of Section 2.16(a);
(iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if the Loans resulting from such conversion are to be Eurodollar Term Benchmark Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable thereto;
(iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Eurodollar Term Benchmark Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period; and
(v) if such Loans are Available Currency Loans and to be continued for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.
Each Interest Period specified in an Interest Election Request shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.
(c) Notice to Banks. Promptly after receiving an Interest Election Request from Carlisle pursuant to Section 2.16(a), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by Carlisle.
(d) Limitation on Election. Carlisle shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Loans to, or continue any Loans for an additional Interest Period if (i) the aggregate principal amount of any Group of Eurodollar Term Benchmark Loans created or continued as a result of such election would be less than $10,000,000 or (ii) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing when Carlisle delivers notice of such election to the Administrative Agent. Carlisle shall not be entitled to elect to continue any Available Currency Loans for an additional Interest Period if the aggregate principal amount of any Group of Available Currency Loans created or continued as a result of such election would be less than a Dollar Amount equal to $10,000,000. Carlisle shall not be entitled to elect to continue any Available Currency Loans for an additional Interest Period longer than one month if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing when Carlisle delivers notice of such election to the Administrative Agent. Money Market Loans may not be converted or continued. This section shall not apply to Swingline Loans. Swingline Loans shall accrue interest as ABR Loans and the Co-Borrowers may not at any time elect to change the type of interest rate borne by the Swingline Loans.
(e) Payment of Accrued Interests. If any Loan is converted to a different type of Loan, the Co-Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay, on the date of such conversion, the interest accrued to such date on the principal amount being converted.
SECTION Section 2.17. Letters of Credit.
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 57
-

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Carlisle may request the issuance of letters of credit for the account of one or more of the Co-Borrowers, denominated in Dollars and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period.
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), Carlisle shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the respective Issuing Bank) to an Issuing Bank selected by it and to the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension, but in any event no less than three Business Days) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. In addition, as a condition to any such Letter of Credit issuance, Carlisle shall have entered into a continuing agreement (or other letter of credit agreement) for the issuance of letters of credit and/or shall submit a letter of credit application, in each case, as required by the respective Issuing Bank and using such Issuing Bank’s standard form (each, a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit Carlisle shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) (x) the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank at such time plus (y) the aggregate amount of all LC Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of Carlisle at such time shall not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000, (iii) no Bank’s Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed its Revolving Commitment and (iv) the sum of the Total Revolving Credit Exposure plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Money Market Loans shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments. Carlisle may, at any time and from time to time, reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank with the consent of such Issuing Bank; provided that Carlisle shall not reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank if, after giving effect of such reduction, the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above shall not be satisfied.
An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Effective Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or
(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 58

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the applicable Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension of the expiration date thereof, one year after such extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date.
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Banks, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Bank, and each Revolving Bank hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Issuing Bank, such Revolving Bank’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Co-Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Co-Borrowers for any reason, including after the Revolving Termination Date. Each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments.
(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Co-Borrowers shall jointly and severally reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if Carlisle shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by Carlisle prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time on the Domestic Business Day immediately following the day that Carlisle receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that Carlisle may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 or Section 2.05(b) that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Co-Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Co-Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Bank of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Co-Borrowers in respect thereof and such Revolving Bank’s Applicable Percentage thereof Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Co-Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Bank (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Banks), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Banks. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Co-Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the respective Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Banks and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Bank pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 59
-

above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Co-Borrowers of their joint and several obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f) Obligations Absolute. Each Co-Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be joint, several, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement 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 respective Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not 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, a Co-Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Banks nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective Related Parties, 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, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the respective Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to a Co-Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential of punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Co-Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Co-Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’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 an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), each Issuing Bank 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, an Issuing Bank 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.
(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and Carlisle by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of such demand for payment if such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Co-Borrowers of their joint and several obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Co-Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 60
-

including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the reimbursement is due and payable at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such reimbursement is payable; provided that, if the Co-Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then the last sentence of Section 2.08(a) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Bank pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement shall be for the account of such Revolving Bank to the extent of such payment.
(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank.
(i) Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Carlisle, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Banks of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Co-Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.17 and Article VIII. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit.
(ii) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, Carlisle and the Banks, in which case, such resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.17(i)(i) above.
(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that Carlisle receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Banks (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Banks with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Co-Borrowers shall jointly and severally deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Banks (the “Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to either Co-Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing or paragraph (c) of this Section, if any LC Exposure remain outstanding after the expiration date specified in said paragraph (c), the Co-Borrowers shall immediately deposit into the Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 103% of such LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 61
-

The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the CoBorrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Co-Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Revolving Banks), be applied to satisfy other Obligations. If the Co-Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Carlisle within three Domestic Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
SECTION Section 2.18. Increase of Revolving Commitments. By written notice sent to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to the Revolving Banks), Carlisle may request from time to time an increase of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount equal to any integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000; provided that (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall not have been reduced, nor shall Carlisle have given notice of any such reduction under Section 2.10, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments cannot be increased pursuant to this Section 2.18 more than three (3) times; and (iv) at no time shall the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments plus the Dollar Amount of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans exceed $1,500,000,000 in the aggregate. No Revolving Bank shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Commitment. A Revolving Bank’s decision whether to increase its Revolving Commitment under this Section 2.18 if it is requested to do so shall be made in such Revolving Bank’s sole and absolute discretion and any failure to respond to a request shall be deemed to be a decision by such Revolving Bank that it will not increase its Revolving Commitment. If one or more of the Revolving Banks is not increasing its Revolving Commitment, then, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the other Revolving Banks, another one or more financial institutions, each as approved by the Co-Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (a “New Bank”), may commit to provide an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the requested increase that will not be provided by the existing Revolving Banks (the “Increase Amount”); provided, that the Revolving Commitment of each New Bank shall be at least $5,000,000 and the maximum number of New Banks shall be three (3). Upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Banks and Carlisle that the Revolving Banks, or sufficient Revolving Banks and New Banks, have agreed to commit to an aggregate amount equal to the Increase Amount (or such lesser amount as the Co-Borrowers shall agree, which shall be at least $10,000,000 and an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof), then: provided that no Default exists at such time or after giving effect to the requested increase, the Co-Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Banks willing to increase their respective Revolving Commitments and the New Banks (if any) shall execute and deliver an Increased Commitment Supplement (herein so called) in the form attached as Exhibit G hereto. If all existing Revolving Banks shall not have provided their pro rata portion of the requested increase, on the effective date of the Increased Commitment Supplement the Revolving Banks shall make advances among themselves (which may be through the Administrative Agent) so that after giving effect thereto the Revolving Loans will be held by the Revolving Banks, pro rata in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages hereunder. The advances made under this Section by each Revolving Bank whose Applicable Percentage is new or has increased under the Increased Commitment Supplement (as compared to its Applicable Percentage prior to the effectiveness of the Increased Commitment Supplement) shall be deemed to be a purchase of a corresponding amount of the Revolving
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 62
-

Loans of the Revolving Bank or Revolving Banks whose Applicable Percentage has decreased (as compared to its Applicable Percentage prior to the effectiveness of the Increased Commitment Supplement). The advances made under this Section shall be ABR Borrowings made under each Revolving Bank’s Revolving Commitment unless another type of Borrowing is selected by Carlisle to be applicable thereto.
SECTION Section 2.19. Carlisle as Agent for CSL LLC. CSL LLC hereby irrevocably appoints Carlisle as its agent hereunder for the purposes of acting on its behalf in connection with this Agreement as specified herein including for the purpose of requesting, converting and continuing Borrowings and authorizes Carlisle to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers on its behalf as are delegated to Carlisle by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
SECTION Section 2.20. Co-Borrowers’ Acknowledgment of Benefit and Liability. Each Co-Borrower expressly acknowledges that it has benefited and will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each and every Loan and Letter of Credit, whether or not such Co-Borrower is or was the actual borrower in respect of such Loan or on whose actual account such Letter of Credit was issued and hereby acknowledges and undertakes, together with the other Co-Borrower, joint and several liability for the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations. Each Co-Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Loan Documents to which the Co-Borrowers are a party are each the independent and several obligation of each Co-Borrower and may be enforced against each Co-Borrower separately, whether or not enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder has been sought against the other Co-Borrower. Each Co-Borrower further agrees that its liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be absolute, unconditional, continuing and irrevocable. Each Co-Borrower expressly waives any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Bank exhaust any right, power or remedy and proceeds against the other Co-Borrower under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, or against any other Person under any guaranty of, or security for, any of the Obligations.
SECTION Section 2.21. Limitation of CSL LLC Liability. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Fraudulent Transfer Law (as hereinafter defined) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be applicable to the obligations of CSL LLC under the Loan Documents, such obligations of CSL LLC shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations under the Loan Documents subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 544 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of CSL LLC, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of CSL LLC in respect of intercompany indebtedness to Carlisle or other Affiliates of Carlisle to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by CSL LLC under the Loan Documents) and after giving effect as an asset to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of CSL LLC pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement (including without limitation any such rights of contribution under Section 2.22).
SECTION Section 2.22. Contribution; Subrogation. The Co-Borrowers desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under the Loan Documents. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made by a Co-Borrower under any Loan Document (a “Funding Obligor”) that exceeds its Fair Share (as defined below), that Funding Obligor shall be entitled to a contribution from the other Co-Borrower in the amount of such Co-Borrower’s Fair

Share Shortfall (as defined below), with the result that all such contributions will cause each Co-Borrower’s Aggregate Payments (as defined below) to equal its Fair Share. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Co-Borrower as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the Adjusted Maximum Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Co-Borrower to (y) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum Amounts with respect to all Co-Borrowers, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Obligors under the Loan Documents in respect of the Obligations. “Fair Share Shortfall” means, with respect to a Co-Borrower as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of the Fair Share of such Co-Borrower over the Aggregate Payments of such Co-Borrower. “Adjusted Maximum Amount” means, with respect to a Co-Borrower as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Co-Borrower under the Loan Documents, in each case determined in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof (including the provisions of Section 2.21); provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the Adjusted Maximum Amount with respect to any CoBorrower for purposes of this Section, the assets or liabilities arising by virtue of any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Co-Borrower. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Co-Borrower as of any date of determination, the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Co-Borrower in respect of the Loan Documents (including, in respect of this Section or any similar provision contained in any other Loan Documents). The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Obligor. The allocation among CoBorrowers of their obligations as set forth in this Section shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Co-Borrower under any Loan Document. In the event a payment is made by a Co-Borrower in excess of its Fair Share, then such Co-Borrower shall be subrogated to the rights then held by Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations to the extent to which the Obligations were discharged by such Co-Borrower and, in addition, upon payment by such Co-Borrower of any sums to Administrative Agent hereunder in excess of its Fair Share, all rights of such Co-Borrower against the other Co-Borrower arising as a result therefrom by way of right or subrogation, reimbursement, or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations.
SECTION Section 2.23. Joint and Several Obligations Absolute. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by a Co-Borrower under the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the other Co-Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by the other Co-Borrower hereunder forthwith on demand by Administrative Agent. Each Co-Borrower hereby agrees that its joint and several liability for the Obligations of the other CoBorrower (the “Other Obligations”) shall not be released, discharged, diminished, impaired, reduced, or affected for any reason or by the occurrence of any event, including, without limitation, one or more of the following events, whether or not with notice to or the consent of any Co-Borrower: (a) the taking or accepting of collateral as security for any or all of the Other Obligations or the release, surrender, exchange, or subordination of any collateral now or hereafter securing any or all of the Other Obligations; (b) any partial release of the liability of any Co-Borrower hereunder, or the full or partial release of any CoBorrower from liability for any or all of the Other Obligations; (c) any disability of any other CoBorrower, or the dissolution, insolvency, or bankruptcy of the other Co-Borrower or any other party at any time liable for the payment of any or all of the Other Obligations; (d) any renewal, extension, modification, waiver, amendment, or rearrangement of any or all of the Other Obligations or any instrument, document, or agreement evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to any or all of the Other Obligations; (e) any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance, waiver, or compromise that may be granted or given by Administrative Agent or any Bank to any other Obligor or any other party ever liable for any or all of the Other Obligations; (f) any neglect, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of Administrative Agent or any Bank to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 64
-

the Other Obligations or to foreclose or take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument, document, or agreement evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to any or all of the Other Obligations; (g) the unenforceability or invalidity of any or all of the Other Obligations or of any instrument, document, or agreement evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to any or all of the Other Obligations; (h) any payment by the other Co-Borrower or any other party to Administrative Agent or any Bank is held to constitute a preference under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law or if for any other reason Administrative Agent or any Bank is required to refund any payment or pay the amount thereof to someone else; (i) the settlement or compromise of any of the Other Obligations; (j) the non-perfection of any security interest or lien securing any or all of the Other Obligations; (k) any impairment of any collateral securing any or all of the Other Obligations; (l) the failure of Administrative Agent or any Bank to sell any collateral securing any or all of the Other Obligations in a commercially reasonable manner or as otherwise required by law; (m) any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of the other Co-Borrower; or (n) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, either Co-Borrower (other than payment of the Other Obligations).
SECTION Section 2.24. Subordination. Each Co-Borrower hereby agrees that the Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined below) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. The Subordinated Indebtedness shall not be payable, and no payment of principal, interest or other amounts on account thereof, and no property or guarantee of any nature to secure or pay the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be made or given, directly or indirectly by or on behalf of any Subordination Party (hereafter defined) or received, accepted, retained or applied by either Co-Borrower unless and until the Obligations have been fully paid in cash; except that when no Event of Default exists, a Co-Borrower shall have the right to receive payments on the Subordinated Indebtedness made in the ordinary course of business. When an Event of Default exists, no payments of principal or interest may be made or given, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of any Subordination Party or received, accepted, retained or applied by any Co-Borrower unless and until the Obligations have been fully paid in cash. If any sums shall be paid to a Co-Borrower by any Subordination Party or any other Person on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness when such payment is not permitted hereunder, such sums shall be held in trust by such Co-Borrower for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Banks and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent without affecting the liability of either Co-Borrower under this Agreement and may be applied by Administrative Agent against the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement and with respect to a Co-Borrower, the term “Subordinated Indebtedness” means all indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations of the other Co-Borrower (herein a “Subordination Party”) to such Co-Borrower, whether such indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or are direct, indirect, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such indebtedness, liabilities, or obligations are evidenced by a note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such indebtedness, obligations, or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by such Co-Borrower. Each Co-Borrower agrees that any and all Liens (including any judgment liens), upon any Subordination Party’s assets securing payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any and all Liens upon any Subordination Party’s assets securing payment of the Obligations or any part thereof, regardless of whether such Liens in favor of a Co-Borrower, Administrative Agent or any Bank presently exist or are hereafter created or attached. Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, no Co-Borrower shall (i) file suit against any Subordination Party or exercise or enforce any other creditor’s right it may have against any Subordination Party, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 65
-

obligations of any Subordination Party to such Co-Borrower or any Liens held by such CoBorrower on assets of any Subordination Party. In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, rearrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceeding involving any Subordination Party as debtor, Administrative Agent shall have the right to prove and vote any claim under the Subordinated Indebtedness and to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian all dividends, distributions, and payments made in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness until the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Administrative Agent may apply any such dividends, distributions, and other payments against the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION Section 5.10. Subsidiary Debt Limitation. Total Debt of Consolidated Subsidiaries (excluding (i) Debt of a Subsidiary to Carlisle or to a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary and (ii) Debt arising in connection with Permitted Securitization Transactions) will at no time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Worth.
SECTION Section 5.11. Leverage Ratio. The Leverage Ratio will at no time exceed 3.50 to 1.00; provided, however, that Carlisle may request, up to two times before the Revolving Termination Date and upon an acquisition by Carlisle of $200,000,000 or greater, an increase in the Leverage Ratio to 4.00 to 1.00 (the “Ratio Increase”); provided further that the Ratio Increase shall only be in effect for the three full consecutive quarters following the quarter during which such acquisition was consummated, after which the Leverage Ratio will revert back to 3.50 to 1.00. As used herein, the follow terms have the following meanings:
“Leverage Ratio” at any date is the ratio of Consolidated Finance Liabilities at such date to Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended on or prior to such date.
“Consolidated Finance Liabilities” means, at any date, the sum of (i) Consolidated Debt (including the aggregate amount of all outstandings (i.e., advanced as the purchase price and not repaid from collections) under all Permitted Securitization Transactions); minus (ii), as long as no Loans are outstanding hereunder on such date, the aggregate book value of all cash and cash equivalent investments then held by Carlisle and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in excess of $15,000,000, all determined on a consolidated basis as of such date.
“Consolidated EBITDA” means, for any period, (i) Consolidated Net Income for such period plus (ii) without duplication and to the extent deducted in determining such Consolidated Net Income, the sum of: (A) Consolidated Interest Expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense; plus (B) losses arising in connection with the sales of accounts receivable and other rights to payment in Permitted Securitization Transactions; plus (C) any non-cash goodwill or non-cash asset impairment charges; plus (D), to the extent expensed in such period, non-cash stock based compensation expenses. In the event of any acquisition or disposition during such period of assets having a book value (on the books of Carlisle) exceeding $10,000,000, Consolidated EBITDA shall be determined on a pro forma basis as if such transaction had occurred on the first day of such period.
“Consolidated Interest Expense” means, for any period all interest on Debt of Carlisle and its Consolidated Subsidiaries paid or payable in cash during such period; including or in addition: (i) the interest portion of payment under Capital Lease Obligations, (ii) all fees with respect to such Debt during such period, and (iii) that portion of the losses arising in connection with the sales of accounts receivable and other rights to payment in Permitted Securitization Transactions that can be demonstrated in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent to be representative of the interest expense that would have been paid if such transaction were accounted for as a financing, in each case determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
SECTION Section 5.12. Interest Coverage Ratio. The Interest Coverage Ratio will at no time be less than 3.00 to 1.00. The “Interest Coverage Ratio” at any date is the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 75

to Consolidated Interest Expense, in both cases, for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended on or prior to such date of determination.
SECTION Section 5.13. Transactions with Affiliates. Carlisle will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, pay any funds to or for the account of, make any investment (whether by acquisition of stock or indebtedness, by loan, advance, transfer of property, guarantee or other agreement to pay, purchase or service, directly or indirectly, any Debt, or otherwise) in, lease, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any assets, tangible or intangible, to, or participate in, or effect, any transaction with, any Affiliate except on an arms-length basis on terms at least as favorable to Carlisle or such Subsidiary than could have been obtained from a third party who was not an Affiliate; provided that the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not prohibit any such Person from declaring or paying any lawful dividend or other payment ratably in respect of all of its capital stock of the relevant class so long as, after giving effect thereto, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(a) Each Bank and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent under the Loan Documents and each Bank and each Issuing Bank authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Bank and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents;
(b) As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Bank and each Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Banks and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Bank in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Banks prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided.

Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it;
(c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Banks and the Issuing Banks (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature.

(ii) nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Bank for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account;

The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent;
(e) None of any Co-Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder;
(f) In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Co-Borrower under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any other obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Co-Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements 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 the Banks, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Section 2.09, Section 2.08, Section 8.01, Section 8.04 and Section 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding;
(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Bank or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.
(g) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of any Co-Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of any Co-Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of any Co-Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Bank or Affiliate of a Bank, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any (i) notice of any of the events or circumstances set forth or described in Section 5.01 unless and until written notice thereof stating that it is a “notice under Section 5.01” in respect of this Agreement and identifying the specific clause under said Section is given to the Administrative Agent by Carlisle, or (ii) notice of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of Default” or a “notice of an Event of Default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by Carlisle, a Bank or an Issuing Bank. Further, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set

forth in Article III or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any claim, liability, loss, cost or expense suffered by Carlisle, any Subsidiary, any Bank or any Issuing Bank as a result of, any determination of the Revolving Credit Exposure, any of the component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each Bank or Issuing Bank, or any exchange rate or Dollar Amount.

SECTION Section 7.03. Posting of Communications.
(a) Carlisle agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Banks and the Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on IntraLinksTM, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).
(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Banks, each of the Issuing Banks and Carlisle acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Bank that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.

THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER, ANY CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY SYNDICATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY CO-BORROWER, ANY BANK, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY CO-BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

its individual capacity as a Bank, Issuing Bank or as one of the Required Banks, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, Carlisle, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks or the Issuing Banks.
SECTION Section 7.05. Successor Administrative Agent.
(a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Banks, the Issuing Banks and Carlisle, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of Carlisle (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent.

Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Co-Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 8.04. Each Bank agrees to designate a different lending office for Available Currency Loans or Eurodollar Loans Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Bank, be otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Bank.

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Bank or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Bank, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Co-Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to such Bank, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

If any Bank or Issuing Bank reasonably determines that the introduction of any Change in Law regarding capital or adequacy and liquidity requirements has or would have or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Bank (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of materially reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any,Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Bank, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Bank or Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law such Bank’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s its policies and the policies of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time and such Bank’s desired return on capital), then within 15 days after demand of such Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Co-Borrowers will shall pay to such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any for such reduction suffered.

(c) The Co-Borrowers shall pay to each Bank, (i) as long as such Bank shall be required to maintain reserves or liquidity with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Term Benchmark funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Term Benchmark Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves or liquidity allocated to such Loan by such Bank (as determined by such Bank in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Bank shall be required to comply with any liquidity requirement, reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Term Benchmark Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Bank (as determined by such Bank in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Co-Borrowers shall have received at least 15 days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Bank. If a Bank fails to give written notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such written notice.

(d e) Request for Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Bank or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Co-Borrower shall be required to compensate a Bank or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Co-Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Bank shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section in respect of any Money Market Loan if the Change in Law that would otherwise entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of the Money Market Quote pursuant to which such Loan was made.

Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.12 and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the failure to borrow any Money Market Loan after accepting the Money Market Quote to make such Loan, or (e) the assignment of any Eurodollar Term Benchmark Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Co-Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(b), then, in any such event, the Co-Borrowers jointly and severally agree to compensate each Bank for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Term Benchmark Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Bank shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Bank to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the Adjusted TIBOR Rate or the Adjusted CDOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Bank would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar Term Benchmark market. A certificate of any Bank setting forth any amount or amounts that such Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Co-Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Co-Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay such Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
SECTION Section 8.05. Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by either Co-Borrower to or for the account of any Recipient hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction 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 Co-Borrower 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.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Co-Borrowers. The Co-Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Co-Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Co-Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d) Tax Indemnity. Without duplication of any amounts paid pursuant to Section 8.05(a) or Section 8.05(b), each Co-Borrower agrees to jointly and severally indemnify, each Recipient within 15 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 as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Co-Borrower by a Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Indemnification by the Banks. Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that Co-Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Co-Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.06(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f) Status of Banks. (i) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Co-Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Carlisle or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Carlisle or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by Carlisle or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Carlisle or the Administrative Agent as will enable Carlisle or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 8.05(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A) any Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Co-Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Carlisle or the Administrative Agent), an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Co-Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this

(4) to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Co-Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Carlisle or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption

from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Carlisle or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Co-Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Carlisle or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Carlisle or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Carlisle and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount (if any) 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 Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Co-Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g) 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 paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h) On or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall provide each Co-Borrower with two duly completed original copies of, if it is a United States Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding, and, if it is not a United States Person, (1) IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to payments to be received by it as a beneficial owner and (2) IRS Form W-8IMY (together with required accompanying documentation) with respect to payments to be received by it on behalf of the Banks. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Co-Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Carlisle, any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the applicable Co-

Borrower to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by to be withheld under applicable law. Upon the reasonable request of Carlisle, the Administrative Agent shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 8.05(h). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 8.05(h) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate with respect to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify Carlisle in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.05(h), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any form that such Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver.
(i) If a payment made to the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed under FATCA if the Administrative Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Co-Borrowers at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Carlisle such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such other documentation reasonably requested by Carlisle as may be necessary for the Co-Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether the Administrative Agent has complied its obligations under FATCA, and to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 8.05(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments after the date of this Agreement.
(j) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(k) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 8.05, the term “Bank” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
SECTION Section 8.06. [Reserved].
SECTION Section 8.07. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Banks.
(a) If any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.03, or if a Co-Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.05, then such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.03 or Section 8.05, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. Each of the Co-Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If (i) any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.03, (ii) a Co-Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.05 or (iii) any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then

A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Co-Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION Section 8.08. Unavailability of Available Currency Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for a Bank to make or maintain any Available Currency Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any such Loan or in the event that there shall occur any material adverse change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the opinion of a Bank makes it impracticable for any Available Currency Loan to be denominated in an Available Currency, then, by written notice to Carlisle and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Bank may: (a) declare that such Loans will not thereafter be made and (b) require that all outstanding Available Currency Loans so affected be repaid.
SECTION Section 8.09. Defaulting Banks. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Revolving Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Co-Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Co-Borrowers against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; and eighth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Bank 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 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Bank until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the CoBorrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure and Swingline Loans are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (d) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto;
(c) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether the Required Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Bank in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Bank or each Bank affected thereby;
(d) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Revolving Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank then:
(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure, Available Currency Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Bank (other than, in the case of a Defaulting Bank that is a Swingline Bank, the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting Bank, cause such non-Defaulting Bank’s Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed its Revolving Commitment;
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Co-Borrowers shall, jointly and several, within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Co-Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(iii) if the Co-Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure pursuant to this clause (ii) above, the Co-Borrowers shall not be required to

pay any fees to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.13 (b) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Banks is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Banks pursuant to Section 2.09(a) and Section 2.09(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Banks’ Applicable Percentages; and
(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Revolving Bank hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Bank (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Bank’s Revolving Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.09 with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks until such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
(e) so long as such Revolving Bank is a Defaulting Bank, no Swingline Bank shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Bank’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Co-Borrowers in accordance with this Section, and Swingline Exposure related to any newly made Swingline Loan or LC Exposure related to any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with this Section (and such Defaulting Bank shall not participate therein); and
If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Bank Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Swingline Bank or Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Bank has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Bank commits to extend credit, no Swingline Bank shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with Carlisle or such Bank, satisfactory to such Swingline Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Bank hereunder.
In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, Carlisle, each Swingline Bank and each Issuing Bank agrees that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Banks shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment and on such date such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks (other than Money Market Loans and Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.06 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Carlisle, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Carlisle, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. This Section 9.06(b)(iv) shall be construed so that each Loan, LC Disbursement and other obligation hereunder is at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code.

FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 107
-

obligations; and (C) Carlisle, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank 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 Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.02. that affects such Participant. Carlisle agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.03, Section 8.04 and Section 8.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, applied as if such Participant were a Bank) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 and Section 8.05(f) as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or Section 8.05, with respect to any participation, than the Bank from which it acquired such participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired such participation. Each Bank that sells a participation agrees, at Carlisle’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the applicable Co-Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 8.07(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.04 as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 8.09(b) as though it were a Bank. Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Carlisle, 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 Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit, LC Disbursements or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank 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, LC Disbursements 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, LC Disbursements or other obligation is in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d) Pledge. Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.
SECTION Section 9.07. Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against either Co-Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. Each Co-Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
SECTION Section 9.09. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

Except as provided in Section 3.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 109

litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Co-Borrowers, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.
SECTION Section 9.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION Section 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION Section 9.13. Construction. Each Co-Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Bank acknowledges that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review the Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that the Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the parties thereto.
SECTION Section 9.14. Independence of Covenants. All covenants under the Loan Documents shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default if such action is taken or such condition exists.
SECTION Section 9.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE CO-BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding anything in any commitment or fee letter executed in connection herewith to the contrary or the forgoing provisions, the parties hereto may disclose to any Person, without limitation of any kind, the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to a Co-Borrower relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except that, with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby as well as other information, this proviso shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the such transactions.

If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Co-Borrowers hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Co-Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder 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 such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable 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 such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Co-Borrowers agree, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Banks as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Bank under Section 2.13, such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Co-Borrowers.

Each of the Co-Borrowers agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, each of the Co-Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising a Co-Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. Each of the Co-Borrowers shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to such a Co-Borrower with respect thereto.

No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from Carlisle by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with Carlisle in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. Carlisle also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to Carlisle, confidential information obtained from other companies.
