In the event of any change after the date hereof in GAAP, and if such change would result in the inability to determine compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.14 based upon the US Borrower's regularly prepared financial statements by reason of the preceding sentence, or if such change would result in a change in the calculation of the financial covenants, standards or terms used in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the parties hereto agree to endeavor, in good faith, to agree upon an amendment to this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the US Borrower's and its Subsidiaries' financial condition shall be the same after such change as if such change had not been made; provided that, until so amended, the US Borrower's compliance with such financial covenants, standards or terms shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or in the definition of Capitalized Lease Obligation, in the event of an accounting change (whether subsequent to or applied retroactively prior to the Closing Date) requiring leases to be capitalized, only those leases (assuming for purposes hereof that they were in existence on the date hereof) that would constitute a Capitalized Lease Obligation on the date hereof shall be considered a Capitalized Lease Obligation and all calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in accordance therewith (provided that all financial statements delivered to the Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after the date of such accounting change shall be accompanied by a schedule showing the adjustments necessary to reconcile such financial statements with GAAP as in effect immediately prior to such accounting change).

1.03 European Monetary Union. If, as a result of the implementation of European monetary union, (a) any currency ceases to be lawful currency of the nation issuing the same and is replaced by the Euro, then any amount payable hereunder by any party hereto in such currency shall instead be payable in Euro and the amount so payable shall be determined by translating the amount payable in such currency to Euro at the exchange rate recognized by the European Central Bank for the purpose of integrating such currency into the Euro, or (b) any currency and the Euro are at the same time recognized by the central bank or comparable authority of the nation issuing such currency as lawful currency of such nation, then (i) any Loan made at such time shall be made in Euro and (ii) any other amount payable by any party hereto in such currency shall be payable in such currency or in Euro (in an amount determined as set forth in clause (a)), at the election of the obligor. Prior to the occurrence of the event or events described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence, each amount payable hereunder in any currency will continue to be payable only in that currency. The Borrower agrees, at the request of the Majority Banks, at the time of or at any time following the integration of any additional currency into the Euro, to enter into an agreement amending this Agreement in such manner as the Majority Banks shall reasonably request in order to avoid any unfair burden or disadvantage resulting therefrom and to place the parties hereto in the position they would have been in had such integration not occurred, the intent being that neither party will be adversely affected economically as a result of such integration and that reasonable provisions may be adopted to govern the borrowing, maintenance and repayment of Loans denominated in any Optional Currency after the occurrence of the event or events described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence.
1.04 Interest; Libor LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on the applicable Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loans is determined by reference to the applicable Libor Rate, which denominated in Dollars is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the "IBA") for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that, in the future, the London interbank offered rate may become unavailable or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on applicable Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loans made in a Libor Quoted Currency Dollars. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 2.03, an alternative rate of interest may be selected and implemented in accordance with the mechanism contained in such Section. The Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.03, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loans is based. However, the Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of "Libor Eurocurrency Rate" or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto or replacement rate thereof, including, without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.03, will be similar to, or produce the same value or

economic equivalence of, the Libor LIBOR Screen Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
1.05 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with Division: (a) 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, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.
1.06 Limited Condition Acquisition. In the event that the US Borrower notifies the Agent in writing (such notice to be delivered to the Agent not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of execution of the definitive purchase agreement, merger agreement or other acquisition agreement governing such Limited Condition Acquisition) that any proposed Permitted Acquisition is a Limited Condition Acquisition and that the US Borrower wishes to test the conditions to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the availability of the Loans (it being understood and agreed that no Revolving Credit Loans may be used for a Limited Condition Acquisition) that are to be used to finance such Limited Condition Acquisition in accordance with this Section, the following provisions shall apply:
(a) any condition to such Limited Condition Acquisition or such Loan (it being understood and agreed that no Revolving Credit Loans may be used for a Limited Condition Acquisition) that requires that no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Limited Condition Acquisition or the incurrence of such Loan (including, without limitation, Section 4.01 and Section 6.06(iii)(A) hereof), shall be satisfied if (i) no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the execution of the definitive purchase agreement, merger agreement or other acquisition agreement governing such Limited Condition Acquisition, and (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under Sections 7.01(a), (b), (c), (k), (m) or (n) hereof both before and after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and any Loans incurred in connection therewith (including any Additional Increase);
(b) any condition to such Limited Condition Acquisition or such Loan (it being understood and agreed that no Revolving Credit Loans may be used for a Limited Condition Acquisition) that the representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct at the time of such Acquisition or the incurrence of such Loan (including, without limitation, Section 4.01 and Section 6.06(iii)(A) hereof) shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or other customary applicable “certain funds” conditionality provisions (including, without limitation, a condition that the representations and warranties under the relevant agreements relating to such Limited Condition Acquisition as are material to the lenders providing such Loans shall be true and correct, but only to the extent that the US Borrower or its applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such agreement as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties or the failure of those representations and warranties to be true and correct), so long as all representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except for those representations and warranties which are already qualified by materiality and which shall be true and correct in all respects) at the time of the execution of the definitive purchase agreement, merger agreement or other acquisition agreement governing such Limited Condition Acquisition;

(c) any financial ratio test or condition to such Limited Condition Acquisition or the incurrence of such Loans (it being understood and agreed that no Revolving Credit Loans may be used for a Limited Condition Acquisition), may upon the written election of the US Borrower delivered to the Agent not less than ten (10) days prior to the execution of the definitive agreement for such Acquisition, be tested either (i) upon the execution of the definitive purchase agreement, merger agreement or other acquisition agreement governing such Limited Condition Acquisition or (ii) upon the consummation of the Limited Condition Acquisition and related incurrence of Indebtedness, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition and related incurrence of Indebtedness, on a pro forma basis; provided that the failure to deliver a notice under this Section prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition shall be deemed an election to test the applicable financial ratio under clause (ii) of this Section; and
(d) if the US Borrower has made an election with respect to any Limited Condition Acquisition to test a financial ratio test or condition at the time specified in clause (c)(i) of this Section, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio (excluding any ratio used in determining the Applicable Margin or compliance with the covenant in Section 5.14) or basket on or following the relevant date of execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness) have been consummated.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on each borrowing date, the Agent shall make the proceeds of the Base Rate Loan available to the Borrower at the Agent's Office in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time). Unless an Authorized Representative of the Borrower shall provide the Agent with the required written notice to convert a Base Rate Loan into a Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars on or prior to the third (3 rd) Business Day prior to the date of requested conversion, such Base Rate Loan shall automatically continue as a Base Rate Loan.

NAI-1523841477v1

Period for a Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Euros, BBSW Loan or CDOR Loan denominated in an Optional Currency, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given written notice that such Loan shall be renewed for an Interest Period of one (1) Month.

(iii) Each Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to make all Revolving Credit Loans that are requested by the Borrower on the proposed date of disbursement as described above. Upon receipt of a request to make, renew or convert a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder, the Agent shall promptly advise each of the Banks of the proposed date of disbursement, renewal or conversion, the amount and type of each such Revolving Credit Loan, the applicable Interest Period, the applicable currency and the Bank's Commitment amount thereof. Each Bank shall remit its Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan to the Agent at the Office of the Agent in the applicable currency and immediately available funds no later than 2:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the applicable date of disbursement. If the amount of such Bank's Commitment Percentage is not made available to the Agent by such Bank on the applicable borrowing date, the Agent shall not be required to fund such Bank's Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans on the applicable borrowing date; provided, however, the Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund such Bank's Commitment Percentage on the applicable borrowing date, and such Bank shall be subject to the repayment obligations set forth below.

The Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount in the applicable currency. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Bank in the applicable currency, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank (or, if such Bank fails to pay such amount, forthwith upon such demand from the Borrower) together with interest thereon, in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on the date the Agent recovers such amount, at a rate per annum equal to (y) with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars, (A) the Federal Funds Rate during the first three (3) days after such interest shall begin to accrue and (B) the Applicable Rate in respect of such Loan after the end of such three (3) day period, and (z) with respect to Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, the Overnight Rate.

The sum of (i) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, plus, (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans outstanding, plus (iii) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility Commitment as the same may be increased from time to time pursuant to Section 2.21. The Borrower agrees that if at any time the sum of (i) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans outstanding plus (iii) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility Commitment (the "Excess Amount"), the Borrower shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, pay to the Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Banks) such Excess Amount. If not sooner paid, the entire principal balance of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, together with all unpaid accrued interest thereon, and all other sums and costs owed to the Agent and the Banks by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, shall be immediately due and payable on the Expiry Date, without notice, presentment or demand of any kind.
(e) Effect of Amendment and Restatement. Simultaneously with the Closing Date, the parties hereby agree that the Commitments shall be as set forth in Schedule 1 and the portion of Loans and other Loan Document Obligations outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement shall be reallocated in accordance with such Commitments and the requisite assignments shall be deemed to be made in such amounts by and between the Banks and from each Bank to each other Bank, with the same force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by applicable assignment agreements required pursuant to Section 8.17 of the Existing Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.17 of the Existing Loan Agreement or Section 8.17 of this Agreement, no other documents or instruments, including any assignment agreements, shall be executed in connection with these assignments (all of which requirements are hereby waived), and such assignments shall be deemed to be made with all applicable representations, warranties and covenants as if evidenced by an assignment agreement. On the Closing Date, the Banks shall make full cash settlement with each other and each Bank under the Existing Loan Agreement that will not be a Bank after the Closing Date either directly or through the Agent, as the Agent may direct or approve, with respect to all assignments, reallocations and other changes in Commitments (as such term is defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) such that after giving effect to such settlements each Bank's Commitment Percentage shall be as set forth on Schedule 1.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and provided that the US Borrower has satisfied all applicable conditions in Article IV hereof, each Bank severally agrees to make a term loan in Dollars to the US Borrower on the Closing Date in the aggregate principal amount of its Term Loan Commitment (the "Term Loan") which, as selected by the US Borrower, shall be Base Rate Loans or Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars.

265265096

(b) Nature of Banks' Obligations with Respect to the Term Loan. The obligations of each Bank to make its portion of the Term Loan to the US Borrower shall be in the proportion that such Bank's Term Loan Commitment bears to the Term Loan Commitments of all Banks to the US Borrower, but each Bank's Term Loan to the US Borrower shall never exceed its Term Loan Commitment. The failure of any Bank to make its portion of the Term Loan shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations to make its portion of the Term Loan nor shall it impose any additional liability on any other Bank hereunder. After the funding of the Term Loan by each Bank in the aggregate principal amount of its Term Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.01A(a), the Banks shall have no obligation to make an additional Term Loan hereunder. The Term Loan Commitments are not revolving credit commitments, and the US Borrower shall not have the right to borrow, repay and reborrow under Section 2.01A(a).
(c) Renewing or Converting Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the US Borrower shall have the opportunity to (i) convert Base Rate Loans into Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) convert Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars into Base Rate Loans, or (iii) renew Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loans as Libor Rate Loans denominated in Dollars for additional Interest Periods.
(i) Each portion of the Term Loan that is converted (from a Libor Rate Loan) into a Base Rate Loan shall be converted on such Business Day and in such amount as an Authorized Representative of the US Borrower shall request by written or telephonic notice (confirmed promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, in writing) received by the Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the date of conversion into the requested Base Rate Loan. Unless an Authorized Representative of the US Borrower shall provide the Agent with the required written notice to convert a Base Rate Loan into a Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars on or prior to the third (3 rd) Business Day prior to the date of requested conversion, such Base Rate Loan shall automatically convert to a Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars with an Interest Period of one (1) month.
(ii) Each Term Loan that is renewed or converted (from a Base into a Eurocurrency Rate Loan) into a Libor Rate Loan denominated in Dollars shall be renewed or converted, on such Business Day, in an amount greater than or equal to One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00); provided, however, that any amount in excess of One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) may only be in increments of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), with such an Interest Period as an Authorized Representative of the US Borrower shall request by written or telephonic notice (confirmed promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, in writing) received by the Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the third (3 rd) Business Day prior to the requested date of, renewal of or conversion into the requested Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan. In the event that an Authorized Representative of the US Borrower fails to provide the Agent with the required written or telephonic notice (confirming promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, in writing) on or prior to the third (3 rd) Business Day prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period for a Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the US Borrower shall be deemed to have given written notice that such Loan shall be converted into a Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Each written notice of any Libor Rate Loan pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be irrevocable and binding on the US Borrower and the US Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the Banks against any loss or expense incurred by the Banks as a result of any failure by the US Borrower to consummate such transaction calculated as set forth in Section 2.12(c) hereof.

(d) Term Notes; Principal Repayment Terms. The obligation of the US Borrower to repay the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan made to it by each Bank, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a Term Note dated the Closing Date payable to the order of such Bank in a face amount equal to the Term Loan Commitment of such Bank. The Term Loan principal shall be paid in four (4) installments of Six Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($6,250,000.00) on July 1, 2020, October 1, 2020, January 1, 2021 and April 1, 2021, in each case, plus accrued interest as provided in Section 2.04, with the final installment of the remaining principal balance of Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (or such lesser principal amount if any prepayment of the Term Loans has occurred in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth below) and accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date, without notice, presentment or demand of any kind. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01A(d), the US Borrower shall have the right, at its option, from time to time, to prepay the Term Loan, in whole or in part, on any date prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date without prepayment penalty or premium thereon; provided, however, the US Borrower shall give the Agent prior written notice of the US Borrower's intention to make such prepayment at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment in the case of prepayment of any Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars, and at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment in the case of any Base Rate Loan and of (i) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made and (ii) the total principal amount of such prepayment (which prepayment shall be in an amount greater than or equal to One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and increments of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) in excess of such amount (unless, as applicable, either the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or the amount of any applicable principal installment payment is less than such amount); provided, further, the US Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks all interest accrued on the amount of the Term Loan to be prepaid to the date of such prepayment and all other fees, costs and charges required to be paid by the US Borrower to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks with respect to such prepayment, including any loss, costs or expenses pursuant to Section 2.12(c). All partial prepayments shall be applied first to the next scheduled installment payment of the Term Loan that is due and payable within ninety (90) days after the proposed date of the applicable prepayment and then to any remaining installments due on the Term Loan in the inverse order of their respective due dates. In addition, to the extent the Term Loan is subject to any Bank-Provided Hedge and as a result of the applicable prepayment hereunder, the US Borrower is required to pay any principal, interest, fees, costs or charges with respect to such Bank-Provided Hedge, the US Borrower shall, to the extent the aggregate amount of all such principal, interest, fees, costs and charges exceeds Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), pay such required payments, in each case as set forth in any applicable Bank-Provided Hedge.

All such prepayments shall be made absolutely net of, without deduction or offset, and altogether free and clear of any and all present and future Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If the US Borrower is compelled by Law to deduct or withhold any such Taxes, then: (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the amount to be prepaid by the US Borrower hereunder shall be increased so that after all such required deductions or withholdings are made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the Banks receive an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made; and (ii) the US Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings and timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Letter of Credit Commission shall be increased in accordance with Section 2.03(c).
2.08 Payments Under Letters of Credit.
Upon a draw under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall immediately, but in any event not later than the end of such Business Day, reimburse the Issuing Bank for such drawing under a Letter of Credit by paying to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Bank with respect to such drawing under the applicable Letter of Credit. If (i) the Borrower shall not have reimbursed the Issuing Bank for such drawing under such Letter of Credit by the end of such Business Day, (ii) the Issuing Bank and/or the Agent, on behalf of the Issuing Bank, must for any reason return or disgorge such reimbursement, or (iii) the Borrower is required to make a payment under Section 7.02(a)(ii) hereof and fails to make such payment, then the amount of each unreimbursed drawing under such Letter of Credit and payment required to be made under Section 7.02(a)(ii) hereof shall automatically be converted into a Revolving Credit Loan in Dollars (in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such drawing, if such drawing is made in an Optional Currency), which shall be a Base Rate Loan made on the date of such drawing for all purposes of this Agreement. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank with respect to each drawing under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional.

2.09 Period of Issuance and Term of Letters of Credit; Cash Collateralization.
Letters of Credit shall only be issued by the Issuing Banks for the account of the Borrower for such terms which expire on or before the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. If, on the Expiry Date, any Letter of Credit Outstanding for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all such Letters of Credit Outstanding. The Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Banks, a security interest in all Cash Collateral pledged pursuant to this Section 2.09 or otherwise under this Agreement.
2.10 Booking of Libor Rate Loans.
Each Bank may make, carry or transfer Libor Rate Eurocurrency Rate Loans, BBSW Loans, CDOR Loans or Daily Simple SONIA Loans at, to or for the account of, any Office (including any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Bank); provided, however, that no such action shall result in increased liability or cost to the Borrower, including any increased liability or cost pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13 hereof.
2.11 Assumptions Concerning Funding of Libor Rate Loans.
Calculation of all amounts payable to each Bank for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, BBSW Loans and CDOR Loans under Section 2.12(c) and (d) shall be made as though each Bank had actually funded its relevant Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan, BBSW Loan or CDOR Loan through the purchase of a Libor an Optional Currency deposit bearing interest at the Libor Eurocurrency Rate, BBSW or CDOR, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the amount of that Libor Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Libor Optional Currency deposit from an offshore office to a domestic office in the United States of America; provided, however, that each Bank may fund each of its Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loans, BBSW Loans and/or CDOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under Section 2.12(c) and (d), as applicable.

2.12 Additional Costs.
(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any Law or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), there shall be any increase in the cost to, or reduction in income receivable by, a Bank of making, funding or maintaining Loans (or commitments to make the Loans), other than with respect to any Indemnified Taxes, any tax described in clauses (ii) through (vii) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, Excluded Taxes or Connection Income Taxes then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Bank made within a reasonable time after such Bank's determination thereof, pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Bank for any such additional costs or reduction in income. All such additional amounts shall be determined by such Bank in good faith using appropriate attribution and averaging methods ordinarily employed by such Bank. A certificate of such Bank submitted to the Borrower in good faith as to the amount of such additional costs shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Agent or such Bank notifies the Borrower in writing of any such additional costs pursuant to this Section 2.12(a), the Borrower may (A) repay in full all Loans of any types or currencies so affected then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such repayment, or (B) convert all Loans of any types or currencies so affected then outstanding into Loans of any other type or currency not so affected upon not less than four (4) Business Days’ notice to the Agent. If any such repayment or conversion of any Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan, BBSW Loan or CDOR Loan occurs on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a Daily Simple SONIA Loan, on a day other than a date for the scheduled payment of interest thereon), the Borrower also shall pay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Banks such additional amounts as set forth in Section 2.12(c) or (d); provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of Law) and (y) all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities (whether or not having the force of Law), in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Law regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.
(b) If either (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any Law or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), affects the amount of capital or liquidity required to be maintained by any Bank or any corporation controlling any Bank and such Bank determines in good faith that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of the Loans (or commitment to make the Loans), other than with respect to any Tax with respect to which Section 2.14 and Section 9.17 shall apply, then, within ten (10) Business Days of demand by such Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank from time to time as specified by such Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Bank determines in good faith such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Bank's Loans (or commitment to make the Loans). Any such demand by a Bank must be made within a reasonable time after such Bank's determination as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. A certificate of such Bank in good faith submitted to the Borrower as to such amounts shall be presumptive evidence of
60
264674781
NAI-1523841477v1
265265096

such amounts. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Agent or such Bank notifies the Borrower in writing of any such additional costs pursuant to this Section 2.12(b), the Borrower may (A) repay in full all Loans of any types or currencies so affected then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment, or (B) convert all Loans of any types or currencies so affected then outstanding into Loans of any other type or currency not so affected upon not less than four (4) Business Days’ notice to such Bank. If any such prepayment or conversion of any Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan, BBSW Loan or CDOR Loan occurs on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such Loan, or if any such prepayment of a Daily Simple SONIA Loan occurs on a day other than a date for the scheduled payment of interest thereon, the Borrower also shall pay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Banks such additional amounts as set forth in Section 2.12(c) or (d); provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of Law) and (y) all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities (whether or not having the force of Law), in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Law regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.
(c) If the Borrower shall repay or convert any Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan, BBSW Loan or CDOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such Loan or, if the Borrower shall repay any Daily Simple SONIA Loan on a day other than a date for the scheduled payment of interest thereon (whether such repayment or conversion is (i) permitted by this Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, (ii) permitted as a result of the failure of the Borrower to consummate a transaction after providing notice as set forth in Section 2.01(c)(ii), (iii) otherwise permitted by a Bank, or (iv) otherwise required under the terms of this Agreement), the Borrower shall pay (within ten (10) Business Days after written demand) to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks such additional amounts reasonably determined by the Banks in good faith to be sufficient to indemnify the Banks against any loss, cost, or expense incurred by the Banks as a result of such prepayment or conversion including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), costs or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Banks to fund such Loan, and a certificate as to the amount of any such loss, cost or expense submitted by any Bank to the Borrower in good faith shall be presumptive evidence of such amount.
(d) The obligation of Borrower to make payments to any Bank pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be limited to amounts that accrue on and after the day which is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which such Bank first makes demand therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such payments have a retroactive effect, then such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

2.13 Illegality; Impracticability.
Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement other than Section 2.03(d) (which shall pre-empt this provision to the extent governed by the provisions thereof), if: (a) it is unlawful, or any central bank or other Official Body shall determine that it is unlawful, for the Agent or any Bank to perform its obligations hereunder to make, renew, or convert Loans hereunder; or (b) on any date on which a Libor Rate any rate hereunder would otherwise be set, Agent or Majority Banks shall have in good faith determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Libor Rate rate, (ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the interbank markets, or (iii) the effective cost to the applicable Banks of funding a proposed Libor Rate Loan exceeds the rate that would be applicable Libor Rate, then (y) upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, the obligation of the applicable Banks to make or renew a Loan of a type or currency so affected or to convert any type of Loan or any Loan denominated in an Optional Currency into a Loan of a type or currency so affected shall terminate and the applicable Banks shall thereafter be obligated to make only Base Rate Loans in Dollars whenever any written notice requests any type of Loans or any Loan denominated in an Optional Currency so affected and (z) upon written demand therefor by the Agent to the Borrower, the Borrower shall (i) forthwith prepay in full all Loans of the type or currency so affected then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon or (ii) request that such the applicable Banks, upon five (5) Business Days' notice, convert all Loans of the type or currency so affected then outstanding into Loans of a type or currency not so affected. If any such prepayment or conversion of any Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan, BBSW Loan or CDOR Loan occurs on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such Loan, or any such prepayment of a Daily Simple SONIA Loan occurs other than on a date for the scheduled payment of interest thereon, the Borrower also shall pay to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the applicable Banks such additional amounts as set forth in Section 2.12(c) or (d).
2.14 Payments.
All payments to be made with respect to principal, interest, fees or other amounts due from the Borrower under this Agreement or under the Notes are payable at 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time), on the day when due, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and an action for the payments will accrue immediately. All such payments must be made to the Agent at its Office in U.S. Dollars except that payments of principal or interest shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made and in funds immediately available at such Office, without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature. The Agent may in its discretion deduct such payments from the Borrower's demand or deposit accounts with the Agent if not paid within five (5) Business Days after the due date. All such payments shall be applied as directed by the Borrower; provided, that after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or Potential Default, such payments shall be applied at the option of the Agent and the Banks to accrued and unpaid interest, outstanding principal and other sums due under this Agreement in such order as the Agent and the Banks, in their sole discretion, shall elect. All such payments shall be made absolutely net of, without deduction or offset, and altogether free and clear of any and all present and future Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If the Borrower is compelled by Law to deduct or withhold any such Taxes, then: (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the amount payable by the Borrower shall be increased so that after all such required deductions or withholdings are made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the Agent or Banks, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made; and (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings and timely pay the
62
264674781
NAI-1523841477v1
265265096

full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law.
2.15 Loan Account.
The Agent will open and maintain on its books and records, including computer records, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account (the "Loan Account") for the Borrower in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Loan made by the Banks and the date and amount of each payment and prepayment in respect thereof. The Agent shall record in the Loan Account the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Bank from time to time. The Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein (including the Equivalent Amounts of the applicable currencies where such computations are required) absent manifest error. Any failure by the Agent to make any such notation or record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to the Banks with respect to the Loans.
2.16 Estoppel.
As further consideration for the entry of the Banks into this Agreement, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants that it does not presently have any claims or actions of any kind at Law or in equity against Citizens and/or any other Bank arising out of or in any way relating to the Existing Loan Agreement or any related documents with respect thereto, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2.17 Utilization of Commitments in Optional Currencies.
(a) Periodic Computations of Dollar Equivalent Amounts of Revolving Credit Loans and Letters of Credit Outstanding. The Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of (i) proposed Revolving Credit Loans to be denominated in an Optional Currency as of the requested borrowing date, (ii) Letters of Credit to be denominated in an Optional Currency as of the intended date of issuance, (iii) Letters of Credit Outstanding denominated in an Optional Currency as of the last Business Day of each month, and (iv) outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency as of the end of each Interest Period, and at such other times as reasonably determined by the Agent in its sole discretion (each such date under clauses (i) through (iv), a "Computation Date").
(b) Notices From Banks that Optional Currencies are Unavailable to Fund New Revolving Credit Loans. The Banks shall be under no obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans requested by the Borrower which are denominated in an Optional Currency if any Bank notifies the Agent by 5:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time), four (4) Business Days prior to the borrowing date for such Loans that such Bank cannot provide its share of such Loans in such Optional Currency due to the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Official Body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Bank (or any of its applicable Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such Official Body which would make it unlawful or impossible for such Bank (or any of its applicable Office) to honor its obligations hereunder to make a Revolving Credit Loan in an Optional Currency. In the event the Agent timely receives a notice from a Bank pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Agent will notify the Borrower no later than 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time), three (3) Business Days prior to the borrowing date for such Loans that the Optional Currency is not then available
63
264674781
NAI-1523841477v1
265265096

for such Loans, and the Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Banks of the same. If the Borrower receives a notice described in the preceding sentence, the Borrower may, by notice to the Agent not later than 5:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time), three (3) Business Days prior to the borrowing date for such Loans, withdraw the loan request for such Loans. If the Borrower withdraws such loan request, the Agent will promptly notify each Bank of the same and the Banks shall not make such Loans. If the Borrower does not withdraw such loan request before such time, (i) the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the Loans referred to in its loan request shall be made in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Loans and shall bear interest under at the Libor Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for Dollars applicable to Interest Periods of one (1) month, and (ii) the Agent shall promptly deliver a notice to each Bank stating: (A) that such Loans shall be made in Dollars and shall bear interest under the Libor Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate applicable to Interest Periods of one (1) month, (B) the aggregate amount of such Loans, and (C) such Bank's Pro Rata Share of such Loans.
(c) Notices From Banks That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund Renewals of Libor Rate Loans Denominated in an Optional Currency. If the Borrower delivers a loan request requesting that the Banks renew or continue any Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loan, BBSW Loan, CDOR Loan or Daily Simple SONIA Loan which is denominated in an Optional Currency, the Banks shall be under no obligation to renew such Libor Rate Loan if any Bank delivers to the Agent a notice by 5:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time), four (4) Business Days prior to effective date of such renewal that such Bank cannot continue to provide Loans in such Optional Currency due to the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Official Body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Bank (or any of its applicable Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such Official Body which would make it unlawful or impossible for such Bank (or any of its applicable Office) to honor its obligations hereunder to make a Loan in an Optional Currency. In the event the Agent timely receives a notice from a Bank pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Agent will notify the Borrower no later than 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time), three (3) Business Days prior to the renewal date that the renewal or continuation of such Loans in such Optional Currency is not then available, and the Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Banks of the same. If the Agent shall have so notified the Borrower that any such renewal or continuation of Optional Currency Loans is not then available, any notice of renewal or continuation with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn, and such Optional Currency Loans shall be redenominated into Libor Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars, with an Interest Period of one (1) month with effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Optional Currency Loans. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of any such redenomination, and in such notice, the Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the redenominated Optional Currency Loans as of the Computation Date with respect thereto and such Bank's Pro Rate Share thereof; provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of Law) and (y) all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities (whether or not having the force of Law), in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Law regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

(d) Requests for Additional Optional Currencies. The Borrower may deliver to the Agent a written request that Revolving Credit Loans and/or Letters of Credit hereunder also be permitted to be made in any other lawful currency (other than Dollars), in addition to the currencies specified in the definition of "Optional Currency" herein provided that such currency must be freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign exchange markets, freely transferable, freely convertible into Dollars and available to the Banks in the applicable interbank market. The Agent will promptly notify the Banks of any such request promptly after the Agent receives such request. The Agent and each Bank may grant or accept such request in its sole discretion. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the acceptance or rejection by the Agent and each of the Banks of the Borrower's request. The requested currency shall be approved as an Optional Currency hereunder only if the Agent and all of the Banks approve of the Borrower's request. The Agent, in its reasonable discretion, shall designate any approved Optional Currency as Libor Quoted Currency or a Non-Libor Quoted Currency for purposes of this Agreement.
2.18 Currency Repayments.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the entire amount of principal of and interest on any Revolving Credit Loan made or Letter of Credit issued in an Optional Currency shall be repaid in the same Optional Currency in which such Loan was made or Letter of Credit was issued, provided, however, that (a) if it is impossible or illegal for Borrower to effect payment of a Loan or reimbursement of a Letter of Credit in the Optional Currency in which such Loan was made or Letter of Credit was issued, (b) if Borrower defaults in its obligations to do so, or (c) if a Libor Rate Loan denominated in an Optional Currency automatically converts to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(c) hereof, the Majority Banks may at their option (and, in the case of (a) above shall) permit such payment to be made (i) at and to a different location, subsidiary, Affiliate or correspondent of Agent, or (ii) in the Equivalent Amount of Dollars or (iii) in an Equivalent Amount of such other currency (freely convertible into Dollars) as the Majority Banks may solely at their option designate. Upon any events described in (i) through (iii) of the preceding sentence, Borrower shall make such payment and Borrower agrees to hold each Bank harmless from and against any loss incurred by any Bank arising from the cost to such Bank of any premium, any costs of exchange, the cost of hedging and covering the Optional Currency in which such Loan was originally made or Letter of Credit was originally issued, and from any change in the value of Dollars, or such other currency, in relation to the Optional Currency that was due and owing. Such loss shall be calculated for the period commencing with the first day of the Interest Period for such Loan and continuing through the date of payment thereof.

265265096

2.19 Optional Currency Amounts.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Agent may, with respect to notices by Borrower for Revolving Credit Loans or Letters of Credit in an Optional Currency or voluntary prepayments of less than the full amount of a Loan denominated in an Optional Currency, engage in reasonable rounding (in accordance with the Agent's usual and customary Optional Currency policies) of the Optional Currency amounts requested to be loaned or repaid; and, in such event, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Banks of such rounded amounts and Borrower's request or notice shall thereby be deemed to reflect such rounded amounts.
2.20 Mandatory Prepayments for Currency Fluctuations.
If on any Computation Date, either (a) the sum of the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding and the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding is equal to or greater than one hundred five percent (105%) of the Optional Currency Sublimit as a result of a change in exchange rates between one (1) or more Optional Currencies and Dollars or (b) the sum of the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made to Foreign Borrowers outstanding and the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding issued on account of Foreign Borrowers is equal to or greater than one hundred five percent (105%) of the Foreign Borrower Sublimit as a result of a change in exchange rates between one (1) or more Optional Currencies and Dollars, then the Agent shall notify the Borrower and/or any Foreign Borrower, if applicable, of the same. The Borrower and/or any Foreign Borrower, if applicable, shall pay or prepay Revolving Credit Loans (subject to Borrower's and/or any Foreign Borrower's, if applicable, indemnity obligations under Section 2.12) within one (1) Business Day after receiving such notice such that, as applicable: (i) the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding and the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the Optional Currency Sublimit after giving effect to such payments or prepayments; and/or (ii) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made to Foreign Borrowers outstanding and the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding issued on account of Foreign Borrowers shall not exceed the Foreign Borrower Sublimit after giving effect to such payments or prepayments.
2.21 Increase of Commitment.
If at any time after the Closing Date, and so long as no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower desires to increase the Revolving Credit Facility Commitment, (each, an "Additional Revolving Credit Increase") and/or, at the Borrower’s option, request to add term loans (each, an "Incremental Term Loan" and collectively, the "Incremental Term Loans") (each Additional Revolving Credit Increase and each Incremental Term Loan are each, an "Additional Increase" and collectively, the "Additional Increases") the Borrower shall notify the Agent in writing, who will promptly notify each Bank thereof, provided that any such Additional Increase shall be in a minimum of Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) and the aggregate of all such Additional Increases shall not exceed Four Hundred Million and 00/100 Dollars ($400,000,000.00). The existing Banks shall have the right at any time within fourteen (14) days following such notice to increase their respective Commitment by providing written notice of the same to the Agent so as to provide such additional Commitment pro-rata in accordance with such Bank's Pro Rata Share, and any portion of such Additional Increase which is not provided by any such existing Bank shall be available to the other existing Banks; provided, that if more than one existing Bank desires to
66
264674781
NAI-1523841477v1
265265096

increase its Commitment in respect of the portion of such Additional Increase not provided by an existing Bank, such participating Banks shall provide such portion of the additional Commitments on a pro rata basis in accordance with the proportion that their Pro Rata Share bears to each other, and thereafter, to the extent not provided by existing Banks, to any additional lending institution or institutions proposed by the Borrower and which is approved by the Agent (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and which becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the Agent and prepared at the Borrower's expense, which documentation may be executed by the Borrower and the Agent (as agent for the Banks) without further consent or action of the Banks, such consent hereby deemed to be irrevocably given to the Agent by the Banks; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have the right to have the entire amount of each Additional Increase provided by such approved additional lending institution or institutions if all the existing Banks decline to increase their Commitments to accommodate any such Additional Increase. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.21 or in any other provision of any Loan Document, if the proceeds of any Additional Increase (it being understood and agreed that only Additional Increases consisting of Incremental Term Loans may be used for a Limited Condition Acquisition) are intended to be applied to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition and the lenders providing such Additional Increase so agree, the availability of funds under such Additional Increase shall be subject to the terms of Section 1.06. In the event of any such Additional Increase in the aggregate Commitments and in the Commitment of any Bank effected pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.21, new Notes shall, to the extent deemed reasonably necessary or appropriate by the Agent, be executed and delivered by the Borrower, and the affected Banks shall promptly surrender and cancel the existing Notes; and the Borrower shall execute and deliver such additional documentation setting forth the new Commitments and Pro Rata Shares as the Agent shall reasonably request in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.21 (each, an "Additional Increase Amendment"). Each Additional Increase Amendment (i) with respect to any Additional Revolving Credit Increase, shall be executed by the Borrower and the Agent (as agent for the Banks) without further consent or action of the Banks, such consent herein is deemed to be irrevocably given to the Agent by the Banks and (ii) with respect to any Incremental Term Loan, (A) shall be executed by the Borrower, the Banks providing such Incremental Term Loan and the Agent without further consent of any of the Banks not providing any portion of such Incremental Term Loan, such consent herein is deemed to be irrevocably given to the Agent by the Banks not providing any portion of such Incremental Term Loan, (B) may contain any amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21 to, among other things, include such Incremental Term Loan and/or the effect thereof in the definitions of "Commitments", "Loans", "Majority Banks", "Notes", "Total Commitment Amount" and (C) shall set forth the terms and conditions applicable to such Incremental Term Loan as agreed to among the Borrower, the Banks providing such Incremental Term Loan and the Agent; provided, however, that the maturity date of such Incremental Term Loan shall not be earlier than the Expiry Date.

2.22 Additional Foreign Borrowers.

265265096

7.03 Set-Off.
If the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, interest accrued on the unpaid principal amount thereof or other amount owing by any Loan Party under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents shall have become due and payable (on demand, at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), each of the Banks, any assignee of the Banks and the holder of any participation in any Loan will each have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, without notice to such Loan Party, to set-off against and to appropriate and apply to such due and payable amounts any Indebtedness owing to, and any other funds held in any manner for the account of, such Loan Party by such Bank, by such assignee or by such holder including, without limitation, all funds in all deposit accounts (whether time or demand, general or special, provisionally credited or finally credited, or otherwise) now or in the future maintained by such Loan Party with such Bank, assignee or holder. The Borrower consents to and confirms the foregoing arrangements and confirms the Banks' rights, such assignee's rights and such holder's rights of banker's lien and set-off. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed a waiver or prohibition of or restriction on the Banks' rights, such assignee's rights or any such holder's rights of banker's lien or set-off.
7.04 Equalization.

If any such Advantage resulting in the purchase of an additional participation as aforesaid shall be recovered in whole or in part from the Bank receiving the Advantage, each such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored (but without interest unless the Bank receiving the Advantage is required to pay interest on the Advantage to the Person recovering the Advantage from such Bank) ratably to the extent of the recovery. Each Bank agrees with the other Banks that if it, at any time, shall receive any payment for or on behalf of the Borrower on any Indebtedness of the Borrower to that Bank by reason of offset of any deposit or other Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Banks, it will apply such payment first to any and all Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Banks pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to this Section or any other Section of this Agreement). The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from the other Banks or any thereof pursuant to this Section may exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
7.05 Other Remedies.
The remedies in this Article VII are in addition to, not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege or remedy, either at Law, in equity or otherwise, to which the Banks may be entitled. The Agent shall exercise the rights under this Article VII and all other collection efforts on behalf of the Banks and no Bank shall act independently with respect thereto, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement.

Neither the Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent nor any of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, attorneys or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof, shall (a) be liable for any waiver, consent or approval given or action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or in connection herewith or therewith or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, or (b) be liable to the Borrower for consequential damages resulting from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong in connection with the negotiation, documentation, administration or collection of the Loans or any of the Loan Documents, except with respect to (a) and (b) hereof, to the extent of its or their willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than within the United States, each Bank and each Issuing Bank exempts the Agent from the restrictions pursuant to Section 181 Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and similar restrictions applicable to it pursuant to any other applicable law, in each case to the extent legally possible to such Bank and Issuing Bank. Any Bank and any Issuing Bank which cannot grant such exemption shall notify the Agent accordingly and, upon request of the Agent, either act in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document as required pursuant to this Agreement and/or such other Loan Document or grant a special power of attorney to a party acting on its behalf, in a manner that is not prohibited pursuant to Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and/or any other applicable laws. Without limiting the foregoing, each Bank and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

8.02 Employees and Agents.
The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be liable for action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent in its sole discretion may determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower and if not paid by the Borrower shall be paid by the Banks based upon their respective Commitment Percentages. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent applicable, no Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, lead arranger or bookrunner, whether acting individually or jointly, listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent, a Bank or the Issuing Bank hereunder.
8.03 No Representations; Each Bank's Independent Investigation.
The Agent, the Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent shall not be responsible for (a) the execution, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, (b) the value of any such collateral security, (c) the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or (d) any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of any Loan Party. The Agent, the Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent shall not be bound (a) to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or (b) to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by any Loan Party or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent, the Syndication Agent, and the Documentation Agent have not made and do not now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Banks with respect to the creditworthiness, financial condition or any other condition of any Loan Party or with respect to the statements contained in any information memorandum furnished in connection herewith or in any other oral or written communication between the Agent and such Bank, the Syndication Agent and such Bank, or the Documentation Agent and such Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently without reliance upon the Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent or any other Bank, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and agrees that the Agent, the Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Bank with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than such notices as may be expressly required to be given by the Agent to the Banks hereunder).

8.04 Payments to Banks.
(a) As between the Agent and the Borrower, a payment by the Borrower to the Agent hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Bank shall constitute a payment to such Bank. The Agent agrees to promptly, but in any event not later than the end of the following Business Day, distribute to each Bank such Bank's Pro Rata Share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Banks in immediately available funds (except as may otherwise be provided with respect to an Impacted Bank).
(b) If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents, could reasonably be expected to involve it in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received by the Agent for the account of the Banks is to be distributed, the Agent shall distribute to each Bank such Bank's Pro Rata Share of the amount so adjudged to be distributed or in such manner as shall be determined by such court, together with interest thereon, in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Agent and ending on the date the Agent distributes such amount, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate earned by the Agent on such amount during such period. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Bank that fails (i) to make available to the Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Loan that the Agent made on its behalf or (ii) to comply with the provisions of Section 7.04 with respect to it obtaining an Advantage, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent and shall not be entitled to vote on any matters until such time as such delinquency is cured. Such Bank shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due it from the Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining Banks for application to, and reduction of, their respective Pro Rata Shares of all outstanding Loans. Such Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the other Banks in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of all outstanding Loans. Such Bank shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if the Banks' respective Pro Rata Shares of all outstanding Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

8.05 Note Holders.
The Borrower and the Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with it signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent.
8.06 Documents.
The Agent shall not be under any duty to examine into or pass upon the validity, effectiveness, genuineness or value of any Loan Documents or any other document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or the value of any collateral obtained hereunder, and the Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine and what they purport to be.
8.07 Agents and Affiliates.
With respect to the Loans, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the agent, and the Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
8.08 Indemnification of Agents.
The Banks ratably agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent (to the extent not indemnified by the Borrower) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in its capacity as agent, the Syndication Agent in its capacity as syndication agent, or the Documentation Agent in its capacity as documentation agent, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by the Agent, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent with respect to this Agreement or any Loan Document, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorney fees) or disbursements resulting from the Agent's, the Syndication Agent's or the Documentation Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The obligations of the Banks under this Section 8.08 shall survive the payment in full of all amounts due pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the termination of this Agreement.
8.09 Successor Agent; Documentation or Syndication Agent.
(a) The Agent may resign as administrative agent hereunder by giving not fewer than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the US Borrower and the Banks. If the Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then either (a) the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor administrative agent for the Banks or (b) if a successor administrative agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following the Agent's notice to the Banks of its resignation, then the Agent shall appoint a successor administrative agent who shall serve as administrative agent until such time as the Majority Banks appoint a successor administrative agent pursuant to clause (a); provided, that the consent of the US Borrower to such appointment shall be required at any time when no Event of Default is in existence (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Upon its appointment, such successor administrative agent shall
104
264674781
NAI-1523841477v1
265265096

succeed to the rights, powers and duties as administrative agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor effective upon its appointment, and the former administrative agent's rights, powers and duties as administrative agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former administrative agent or any of the parties to this Agreement.
(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that no Person shall have, solely by reason of its designation as a syndication agent, any power, duty, responsibility or liability whatsoever under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.
(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that no Person shall have, solely by reason of its designation as a documentation agent, any power, duty, responsibility or liability whatsoever under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.
8.10 Knowledge of Default.
It is expressly understood and agreed that if the Agent has not been notified by the Borrower in writing that an Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred, the Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing unless the Agent has been notified by a Bank in writing that such Bank considers that an Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing and specifying the nature thereof.
8.11 Action by Agent.
So long as the Agent shall be entitled, pursuant to Section 8.10 hereof, to assume that no Event of Default or Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it by, or with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions which it may be able to take under or in respect of, this Agreement. The Agent shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, certificate, warranty or other paper or instrument believed by it to be genuine or authentic or to be signed by the proper party or parties, or with respect to anything which it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment.
8.12 Notification of Potential Defaults and Events of Defaults.
Each Bank hereby agrees that, upon learning of the existence of a Potential Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly notify the Agent thereof. In the event that the Agent receives notice of an Event of Default or Potential Default, the Agent shall promptly notify all of the Banks and shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement as the Majority Banks shall direct and the Agent shall promptly inform the Banks in writing of the action taken. The Agent may take such action and assert such rights as it deems to be advisable, in its discretion, for the protection of the interests of the holders of the Notes.

8.13 Declaration of Invalidation.
Each Bank agrees that, to the extent that any payments received by any Bank from any Loan Party or otherwise on account of the Loans are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or judicially required to be repaid to a debtor-in-possession, trustee, receiver, custodian or any other Person in connection with any proceeding referred to in Section 7.01(m) hereof or any similar cause of action ("Preference"), then, to the extent of such Preference, each Bank shall, upon demand, reimburse the Bank subject to such Preference in the amount necessary to cause each Bank to be affected by such Preference in proportion to its Pro Rata Share of the Loans.
8.14 Pro Rata Portion, Pari Passu and Equal.
The Pro Rata Share of each Bank in the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be pari passu and equal with the Pro Rata Share of each other Bank and no Bank shall have priority over the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Impacted Bank shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of or relating to outstanding Loans, Letters of Credit, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining Banks that are not Impacted Banks for application to, and reduction of, their respective Pro Rata Share of all outstanding Loans and other unpaid Indebtedness of any of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Each Impacted Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the Banks that are not Impacted Banks in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Share of all outstanding Loans and other unpaid Indebtedness of any of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document to which such Banks are entitled. A Defaulting Bank shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans and other unpaid Indebtedness of any of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document of the Banks that are not Impacted Banks, the Banks' respective Pro Rata Shares of all outstanding Loans, Letters of Credit, interest, fees and other unpaid Indebtedness of any of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency. An Impacted Bank (other than a Defaulting Bank) shall be deemed to no longer be an Impacted Bank when (i) the Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank(s) and/or the Swing Line Lender no longer has a good faith belief that such Bank has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other syndicated credit facilities, (ii) such Impacted Bank is no longer deemed insolvent by an Official Body or the subject of a bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship or insolvency proceeding, and/or (iii) such Impacted Bank no longer has a parent company that is deemed insolvent by an Official Body or is the subject of a bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship or insolvency proceeding.
8.15 Cooperation.
Each Bank agrees that it shall cooperate in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner with each other Bank and take whatever reasonable actions (at its own expense) are necessary to implement decisions made in accordance with this Agreement and with each of the other Loan Documents relating thereto.

264674781

8.16 Obligations Several.
The obligations of the Banks hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by the Agent or the Banks pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity between any of the Banks. No default by any Bank hereunder shall excuse any Bank from any obligation under this Agreement, but no Bank shall have or acquire any additional obligation of any kind by reason of such default. The relationship among the Loan Parties and the Banks with respect to the Loan Documents and any other document executed in connection therewith is and shall be solely that of debtor and creditors, respectively, and neither the Agent nor any Bank has any fiduciary obligation toward any Loan Party with respect to any such documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
8.17 Bank Assignments/Participations.
(A) Assignment/Transfer of Commitments.
Each Bank shall have the right at any time or times to assign or transfer to an Eligible Assignee or any Affiliate of such Bank, without recourse, all or a portion of (a) that Bank's Commitment, (b) all Loans made by that Bank, (c) that Bank's Notes, and (d) that Bank's participation in Letters of Credit and that Bank's participation purchased pursuant to Section 7.04; provided, however, in each such case, that the transferor and the transferee shall have complied with the following requirements:
(i) Prior Consent of Agent. No transfer may be consummated pursuant to this Section 8.17(A) without the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent of the Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

No transfer may be consummated pursuant to this Section 8.17(A) without the prior written consent of the US Borrower (other than (i) a transfer by any Bank to another Bank (other than an Impacted Bank), (ii) a transfer by any Bank (other than an Impacted Bank) to any Affiliate of such Bank or (iii) a transfer occurring during the existence of an Event of Default or Potential Default), which consent of the US Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that the US Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such transfer unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within fifteen (15) days after having received notice thereof.
(iii) Minimum Amount. No transfer may be consummated pursuant to this Section 8.17(A) (other than a transfer by any Bank to an Affiliate of such Bank) in an aggregate amount less than (a) Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) or (b) if such Bank's Commitment is at any time less than Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), the entire amount of such Bank's Commitment.
(iv) Agreement; Transfer Fee. Unless the transfer shall be to an Affiliate of the transferor or the transfer shall be due to merger of the transferor or for regulatory purposes, the transferor (A) shall remit to the Agent, for its own account, an administrative fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($3,500.00) and (B) shall cause the transferee to execute and deliver to the Borrower, the Agent and each Bank (1) an Assignment Agreement, in the form of Exhibit "E" attached hereto and made a part hereof (an "Assignment Agreement") together with the consents and releases and the Administrative Questionnaire referenced therein,

Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver (A) to the Agent, the transferor and the transferee, any consent or release (of all or a portion of the obligations of the transferor) to be delivered in connection with the Assignment Agreement, and (B) to the transferee and, if applicable, the transferor, the appropriate Notes. Upon delivery of the new Notes, the transferor's Notes shall be promptly returned to the Borrower marked "replaced".
(vi) Parties. Upon satisfaction of the requirements of this Section 8.17, including the payment of the fee and the delivery of the documents set forth in Section 8.17(A) (iv), (A) the transferee shall become and thereafter be deemed to be a "Bank" for the purposes of this Agreement, (B) if the transferor transfers all of its interest, the transferor shall cease to be and thereafter shall no longer be deemed to be a "Bank" and shall have no further rights or obligations under or in connection herewith, and (C) the signature pages hereof and Schedule 1 hereto shall be automatically amended, without further action, to reflect the result of any such transfer.

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(a) Other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Bank makes no representation and warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;

B. Participations.
Each Bank shall have the right at any time or times, without the consent of any other party, to sell one or more participations or sub-participations to one or more financial institutions or any Affiliate of such Bank, in all or any part of (a) that Bank's Commitment, (b) that Bank's Commitment Percentage, (c) any Loan made by that Bank, (d) any Note delivered to that Bank pursuant to this Agreement and (e) that Bank's participations, if any, purchased pursuant to Section 7.04 or this Section 8.17(B).

Except as otherwise set forth herein, no participant or sub-participant shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, and the Loan Parties and the Agent shall continue to deal with the Banks as if no participation or sub-participation had occurred. The Agent shall continue to distribute payments as if no participation or sub-participation had been sold.
(ii) No Delegation. No participation or sub-participation shall operate as a delegation of any duty of the seller thereof. Under no circumstances shall any participation or sub-participation be deemed a novation in respect of all or any part of the seller's obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Agent may only be replaced subject to the requirements of Section 8.09 and (ii) any applicable Issuing Bank may only be replaced subject to the requirements that all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank have expired or been terminated or replaced.

In the event of a determination adverse to the Borrower of any action at Law or suit in equity in relation to this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay, in addition to all other sums which the Borrower may be required to pay, a reasonable sum for attorneys and paralegals fees incurred by the Agent, Issuing Bank, Swing Line Lender and the Banks or the holder of the Notes in connection with such action or suit. All payments due under this Section will be added to and become part of the Loans until paid in full. The agreements in this section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, the provision will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability of the provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

9.15 Limitation of Liability.
To the fullest extent permitted by Law, no claim may be made by the Borrower against the Agent or the Banks or any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, attorney or agent thereof for any special, incidental, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim arising from or related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any statement, course of conduct, act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith (whether for breach of contract, tort or any other theory of liability). The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether such claim presently exists or arises hereafter and whether or not such claim is known or suspected to exist in its favor. This Section 9.15 shall not limit any rights of the Borrower arising solely out of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9.16 Indemnities.
In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, pay and hold the Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and each Bank and their officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, auditors, Affiliates and attorneys (collectively, called the "Indemnitees"), harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against that Indemnitee, in any matter arising from (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Loans, (iii) the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or (iv) any error, failure or delay in the performance of any of the Banks' obligations under this Agreement caused by natural disaster, fire, war, strike, civil unrest, error in inoperability of communication equipment or lines or any other circumstances beyond the control of the Banks (the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, however, that the Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee.
9.17 Certifications from Bank and Participants.
(a) Tax Withholding. Each Bank and any assignee or participant of a Bank that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and, each assignee or participant of such Bank, or the Agent) agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower, such Bank and the Agent three (3) duly completed appropriate valid Withholding Certificates (as defined under §1.1441-1T(c)(16) of the Income Tax Regulations (the "Regulations")) certifying its status (i.e. U.S. or foreign person) and, if appropriate, making a claim of reduced, or exemption from, U.S. withholding Tax on the basis of an income Tax treaty or an exemption provided by the Code. Additionally, each Bank and any assignee or participant of a Bank that is incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and, any assignee or participant of such Bank, or the Agent) agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower, such Bank and the Agent two (2) originals of an IRS Form W-9 or any other form proscribed by applicable law demonstrating that such Bank is incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof. The term "Withholding Certificate" means a Form W-9; a Form W-8BEN; a Form W-8ECI; a Form W-8IMY and the related statements and certifications as required under § 1.1441-1(e)(2) and/or (3) of the Regulations; a statement described in § 1.871-14(c)(2)(v) of
116
264674781
NAI-1523841477v1
265265096

the Regulations; or any other certificates under the Code or Regulations that certify or establish the status of a payee or beneficial owner as a U.S. or foreign person. Any assignee or participant required to deliver to the Borrower, a Bank and the Agent a Withholding Certificate pursuant to the preceding sentence shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days before the effective date of such assignment or participation (unless such Bank in its sole discretion shall permit such assignee or participant to deliver such valid Withholding Certificate less than five (5) Business Days before such date in which case it shall be due on the date specified by such Bank). Any assignee or participant which so delivers a valid Withholding Certificate further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower, a Bank and the Agent three (3) additional copies of such Withholding Certificate (or a successor form) on or before the date that such Withholding Certificate expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower, such Bank or the Agent. Notwithstanding the submission of a Withholding Certificate claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding Tax, the Borrower, such Bank and/or the Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income Taxes at the full withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the Regulations. Further, such Bank and/or the Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the Regulations against any claims and demands of any assignee or participant of such Bank for the amount of any Tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Code. If a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this 9.17(a), "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 Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(b) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this 9.17) 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 Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Bank (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) If the Agent or any Bank 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 by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts of Taxes pursuant to this Agreement, it shall pay over such refund (or the amount of any credit in lieu of refund) to the applicable Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the applicable Loan Party under this Agreement with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit in lieu of refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund or credit in lieu of refund), provided that the applicable Loan Party, upon the request of the Agent or such Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Loan Party (plus any interest, penalties or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) to the Agent or such Bank in the event the Agent or such Bank is required to repay such refund or credit in lieu of refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (c), in no event will the Agent or a Bank be required to pay any amount to the applicable Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph if the payment of such amount would place the Agent or Bank in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing in this paragraph (c) shall be construed to require the Agent or any Bank to make available its tax returns or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential to the Borrower or any other Person.
(d) USA Patriot Act. Each Bank or assignee or participant of a Bank that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an Affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Bank is not a "shell" and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.
9.18 Confidentiality.
(a) General. Each Bank agrees to keep confidential all information obtained from the Loan Parties which is nonpublic and confidential or proprietary in nature (including without limitation any information a Loan Party specifically designates as confidential), except as provided below, and to use such information only in connection with this Agreement and for the purposes contemplated hereby. Each Bank shall be permitted to disclose such information (i) to outside legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors who need to know such information in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement, subject to agreement of such Persons to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) to assignees and participants as contemplated by Section 8.17, and prospective assignees and participants, subject to the agreement of such Persons to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) to the extent requested by any bank regulatory authority or, with notice to the applicable Loan Party, as otherwise required by applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, or in connection with any investigation or proceeding arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan

Documents, (iv) if it becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or becomes available from a source not known to be subject to confidentiality restrictions, or (v) if the applicable Loan Party shall have consented, in writing, to such disclosure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the information subject to this Section 9.18 shall not include, and a Bank may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the "Tax treatment" and "Tax structure" (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such Bank relating to such Tax treatment and Tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the Tax treatment or Tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the Tax treatment or Tax structure of the Loans and transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Bank. The Loan Parties acknowledge that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to the Loan Parties or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by a Bank or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Bank and each Loan Party hereby authorizes such Bank to share any information delivered to such Bank by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of the Bank to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of Section 9.18 as if it were a Bank hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans.
9.19 Judgment Currency.
(a) Currency Conversion Procedures for Judgments. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under a Revolving Credit Note in any currency (the "Original Currency") into another currency (the "Other Currency"), the parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures each Bank could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency after any premium and costs of exchange on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
119
264674781
NAI-1523841477v1
265265096

(b) Indemnity in Certain Events. The obligation of Borrower in respect of any sum due from Borrower to any Bank hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in an Other Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by any Bank of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Bank may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Bank in the Original Currency, Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment or payment, to indemnify such Bank against such loss.
9.20 Contractual Recognition of Bail-In.
Notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any parties thereto, each party acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution, or other credit institution or investment firm established in any other country, to any other party under or in connection with the Loan Documents, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of:
(a) Any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including (without limitation):
(i) a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, or other credit institution or investment firm established in any other country, that may be issued to, or conferred on, it; and
(iii) a cancellation of any such liability; and
(b) A variation of any term of such liability under any Loan Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability.
9.21 Certain ERISA Matters.

(c) The Agent hereby informs the Banks that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Bank or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker's acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.
9.22 Acknowledgment Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "QFC Credit Support" and each such QFC a "Supported QFC"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "U.S. Special Resolution Regimes") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "Covered Party") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Bank shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
