SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE CREDIT FACILITY
2.1. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan in Dollars (a “Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Commitment of such Lender. The Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.6. The respective obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement are several and not joint and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to satisfy its obligations hereunder.
2.2. Procedure for Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and received by the Administrative Agent prior to (a) 11:00 A.M., New York City time, two Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (b) 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Closing Date, in the case of ABR Loans) requesting that the Lenders make the Loans on the Closing Date. Such notice shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) whether the borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof and (iii) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans, the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Closing Date each Lender shall make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 9.2 in immediately available funds equal to the Loan or Loans to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall send by wire transfer of immediate available funds the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders to an account designated by the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent.
2.3. [Reserved]
2.4. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender, and each Loan shall mature, on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 7). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the Closing Date until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.8.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
14

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 9.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.4(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Note”).
2.5. Prepayments and Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) The aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be automatically reduced to zero upon the funding of the Loans, if any, on the Closing Date. The Commitments once so reduced may not be reinstated.
(b) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least (i) three Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of Eurodollar Loans or (ii) one Business Day’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of ABR Loans; provided that such notice may state that such prepayment is contingent on the closing of another transaction. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, subject to such contingency, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 and (except in the case of ABR Loans) accrued interest to but excluding such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
2.6. Conversion and Continuation Options. ABR Loans may, at any time, be converted into Eurodollar Loans and Eurodollar Loans may, on the last day of any Interest Period applicable thereto, be converted into ABR Loans or continued as Eurodollar Loans (the date of any such conversion, the “Conversion Date”), as follows:
(a) In order to continue outstanding Eurodollar Loans as Eurodollar Loans for another Interest Period, or to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower shall give
15

the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice thereof prior to 11:00 A.M. New York City time, two Business Days before the first day of the Interest Period to be applicable to such continued or converted Eurodollar Loans, which notice shall specify the length of the Interest Period requested by the Borrower to be applicable to such Loans.
(b) No Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such a continuation.
(c) If the Borrower fails to give a notice as described above in this Section 2.6 to continue an outstanding Eurodollar Loan or to convert such Loan to an ABR Loan, or if such continuation or conversion is not permitted pursuant to paragraph (b) above, such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of the then expiring Interest Period applicable to such Loans.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each notice received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6.
2.7. Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Tranches. All borrowings, prepayments, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. In no event shall there be more than five Eurodollar Tranches outstanding at any time.
2.8. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin therefor.
(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest for each day from the Closing Date or applicable Conversion Date, as the case may be, at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin therefor.
(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the rate otherwise applicable thereto plus 2% from the date of such non-payment to (but excluding) the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment) (or, in the event there is no applicable rate, 2.0% per annum in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to ABR Loans from time to time).
(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand and on the Maturity Date.
16

2.9. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365‑ (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed; and, otherwise, interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360‑day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower upon request a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.8(a) or (b).
2.10. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. (a) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, absent manifest error) that the Eurodollar Rate cannot be determined by any of the means set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or by reason of circumstances affecting the eurodollar market, quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits are not being provided to Citibank in the relevant amount or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period (including because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), or
(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders, absent manifest error) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give facsimile or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Each such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent upon any change in such determination of the adequacies and fairness of the Eurodollar Rate, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly withdraw its notice to the Borrower following receipt of such notices from the Required Lenders. Until such withdrawal by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans.
(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the Screen Rate), (x) the administrator of
17

the Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date a copy of such amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.10(b), only to the extent the Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any interest election request that requests the conversion of any borrowing to, or continuation of any borrowing as, a Eurodollar borrowing shall be ineffective, and (y) if any borrowing request requests a Eurodollar borrowing, such borrowing shall be made as an ABR borrowing; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
2.11. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, and, except as provided in Section 2.21, each payment by the Borrower of any fees hereunder, except as provided in Section 2.21, each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans, and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the Percentages of the Lenders, in each case except to the extent another provision of this Agreement specifies a different treatment. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Section 9.2, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the
18

Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Closing Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s pro rata share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to repayment of such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum otherwise applicable to such Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower and, upon such payment, no further interest shall be payable with respect to such amount. The payment of interest by a Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any right the Borrower may have against such Lender for such Lender’s failure to make Loans to the Borrower as required hereunder.
2.12. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (a) such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (c) such Lender’s outstanding Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law.
2.13. Additional Costs. (a) If, as a result of any Regulatory Change:
(i) any Lender shall be subject to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to amounts payable to it under this Agreement, or the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof is changed (except, in each case, for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.14, taxes described in clauses (x) through (z) of Section 2.14(a), net income taxes, franchise taxes, and branch profits taxes, and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender); or
(ii) any reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy, liquidity, compulsory loan or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, any Lender, which requirements are generally applicable to extensions of credit or other assets of, or deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, are imposed, modified, or deemed applicable; or
(iii) any other condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Loans is imposed on any Lender after the date hereof, which condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) is generally applicable to loans made by such Lender; and
19

any Lender determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to such Lender (or a holding company of any Lender) of making, continuing, converting or maintaining its Commitment or any of its Loans to the Borrower is increased or any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Loans is reduced or the rate of return on such Lender’s (or holding company’s) capital is reduced (taking into consideration such Lender’s or holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), in each case by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender upon its request the additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such Additional Costs within 15 Business Days after written notice of such Additional Costs is received by the Borrower; provided, however, that if all or any such Additional Costs would not have been payable or incurred but for such Lender’s voluntary decision to designate a new Lending Office, the Borrower shall have no obligation under this Section 2.13 to compensate such Lender for such amount relating to such Lender’s decision; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to such Lender for Additional Costs incurred more than 60 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.
(b) Without limiting the effect of the provisions of Section 2.13(a) (but without duplication thereof), the Borrower will pay to any Lender, within 15 Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of notice from such Lender, for each day such Lender is required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D of the Board as in effect on the date of this Agreement, an additional amount determined by such Lender equal to the product of the following:
(i) the principal amount of the Eurodollar Loan;
(ii) the remainder of (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan and the denominator of which is one minus the rate at which such reserve requirements are imposed on such Lender on such day minus (y) such numerator; and
(iii) 1/360.
Such Lender shall request payment under this Section 2.13(b) by giving notice to the Borrower as of the last day of each Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan (and, if such Interest Period exceeds three months’ duration, also as of three months, or a whole multiple thereof, after the first day of such Interest Period). Such notice shall specify the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Such Lender shall provide any evidence of such requirement to maintain reserves as the Borrower may reasonably request.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation
20

thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a Regulatory Change, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.
(d) Each Lender will notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any Regulatory Change occurring after the date of this Agreement which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to Section 2.13(a) or (c) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. If such Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13(a) or (c), the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender require that such Lender forward to the Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.
Determinations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 2.13 of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made absent manifest error.
2.14. Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and branch profits taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender in a jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is organized, in which its applicable Lending Office is located, or as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document), unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Agent, (i) such amounts shall be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) the amounts so payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts they would have received had no such obligation been imposed; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes that are (x) United States withholding taxes (including United States federal, state and local backup withholding taxes) resulting from any Requirement of Law in effect on the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 2.17), (y) attributable to (i) such Lender’s designation of a different Lending Office (provided that such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed at the time of the first payment to such Lender under this Agreement following such designation and excluding any designation occurring pursuant to Section 2.16) or (ii) such Lender’s failure to comply with the
21

requirements of paragraph (e) of this Section 2.14 or (z) United States federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as the case may be, certificates or other valid vouchers or receipts received by the Borrower or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender showing payment thereof. Subject to Section 2.14(a), if (i) the Borrower fails to pay any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, (ii) fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence or (iii) any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed directly upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for such amounts and any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure in the case of (i) and (ii), or any such direct imposition in the case of (iii).
(d) Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Each Lender that is a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax. Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non‑U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (certifying as to entitlement to treaty benefits), Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying Internal Revenue Service forms), as applicable, (ii) in the case of a Non‑U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit B and the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by such Non‑U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (iii) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming
22

exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Such forms, certificates, and statements shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms, certificates, and statements promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender, or upon the reasonable request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form, certificate, or statement to the Borrower (or any other form, statement, or certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Each Lender agrees to (x) promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower if any fact set forth in any such form, certificate, or statement ceases to be true and correct and (y) take such steps and may be reasonably necessary to avoid any applicable Requirements of Law that the Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to the Lender under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph after the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, after the date such Participant purchases the related participation) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation described in Section 2.14(e)(iii) shall not be required if in a Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 2.14(e), the term “Lender” includes the Administrative Agent.
(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund
23

and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
2.15. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or in the conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans, after the Borrower has given a notice requesting or accepting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof (including following any revocation of such notice permitted hereunder) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if applicable, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to but excluding the last day of the relevant Interest Period (or proposed Interest Period) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market.
2.16. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that if it makes any demand for payment under Sections 2.13 or 2.14, or if any adoption or change of the type described in Section 2.12 shall occur with respect to it, it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, as determined in its sole discretion) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would reduce or obviate the need for the Borrower to make payments under Sections 2.13 or 2.14, or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any adoption or change described in Section 2.12.
2.17. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender (a) that requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.13 or 2.14 (for itself or its Participant) or for which amounts are otherwise payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14, (b) that is affected in the manner described in Section 2.12 and as a result thereof any of the events described in clauses (b) or (c) of such Section occur, (c) that is a Defaulting Lender or a Downgraded Lender, or (d) that does not consent to an amendment or waiver that requires the consent of all Lenders (or all affected Lenders) and has been approved by the Required Lenders, in each case, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement (or, if an Event of Default exists, the Required Lenders consent to such replacement), (iii) the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans, and other
24

amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.15 if any outstanding Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be or purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (c) and (e) (provided that the Borrower or the replacement bank or institution shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) or pursuant to other procedures reasonably agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which may include a deemed assignment), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Sections 2.13 or 2.14, as the case may be, and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
2.18. [Reserved].
2.19. [Reserved].
2.20. [Reserved].
2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) the Commitments and Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.1 to the extent set forth therein), and such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.1;
(b) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: FIRST, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; SECOND, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; THIRD, if so determined by the Borrower with the consent of the Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; FOURTH, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; FIFTH, so long as no
25

Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and SIXTH, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”, the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Confidential Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.14); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform that is not designated “Public Side Information”.

(b) the Borrower may be merged or consolidated with, or sell all or substantially all of its property, business and assets to, another Person organized under the laws of a state or territory of the United States so long as, if the Borrower is not the continuing or surviving corporation, (i) the senior unsecured non credit-enhanced debt rating of the survivor or purchaser shall be at least the higher of (x) BBB- by S&P and Baa3 by Moody’s and (y) the ratings by such rating agencies of the Borrower’s senior unsecured non credit-enhanced debt in effect before the earlier of the occurrence or the public announcement of such event, (ii) the survivor or purchaser shall assume the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in accordance with documentation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (iii) after giving effect to such merger, consolidation or sale, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing.
6.6. [Reserved].

SECTION 8. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
8.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the
36

Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
8.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys‑in‑fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
8.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‑in‑fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable to any Lender for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower.
8.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any
37

action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
8.5. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
8.6. Non‑Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‑in‑fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‑in‑fact or Affiliates.
8.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
38

against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
8.8. Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
8.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time upon 30 days’ notice by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Additionally, if the Lender then acting as the Administrative Agent is (x) a Defaulting Lender and (y) the subject of a Bankruptcy Event, then the Administrative Agent may be removed by the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or is removed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, subject to approval by the Borrower, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, 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 or any holders of the Loans. In the event that no such successor Administrative Agent is so appointed by the Required Lenders within 30 days of the Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent (subject to the approval of the Borrower) as provided above. After any removed Administrative Agent’s removal or retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 and Section 9.5 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
8.10. Arrangers. The Arrangers (and any of them individually) solely in their respective capacities as such shall not have any rights, duties or responsibilities hereunder, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Arrangers (or any of them individually) solely in their capacities as Arrangers.
39

8.11. Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, solely for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the
40

Commitments or this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).
SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to Section 2.10(b), the Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, enter into with the Borrower written amendments, supplements, modifications or waivers hereto and to the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) (A) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, (B) alter the pro rata payment sharing requirements of the first sentence of Section 2.11(a) (other than in connection with an amend and extend transaction offered ratably to all similarly situated Lenders), (C) reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or (D) increase the amount or extend the termination date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the consent of each Lender affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 without the written consent of the then Administrative Agent.

42

to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the use of proceeds of the Loans (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any indemnified person with respect to indemnified liabilities that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person, from the breach by such indemnified person of its Contractual Obligations to the Borrower or from negotiated settlements of pending or threatened legal actions entered into by such indemnified person without the Borrower’s consent. No indemnified person referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the unauthorized use by recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such recipients by such indemnified person through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.5 shall not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-tax claim.
9.6. Transfer Provisions. (a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.
(b) Participations. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial lending business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”), other than to the Borrower and its Affiliates, participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan and interests for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.14, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(e) shall, subject to applicable law, be delivered to the transferring Lender); and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of
43

each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(c) Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial lending business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time, assign to any Lender or any Affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required from the Borrower during the continuation of an Event of Default and shall be deemed given if the Borrower has not objected thereto within fifteen Business Days of notice thereof), to an additional bank or financial institution (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, substantially in the form of Exhibit E (an “Assignment and Assumption”), executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender, and (to the extent required by this paragraph) the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Borrower) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register, provided that, in the case of any such assignment to an additional bank or financial institution, (i) the sum (without duplication) of the aggregate principal amount of the Commitments and Exposure being assigned shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or, if such Assignee is an Affiliate of a Lender, $5,000,000, or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and (ii) (x) the sum (without duplication) of the aggregate principal amount of the Commitments and Exposure retained by the assigning Lender, if any, shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) or (y) after giving effect to such assignment, the assigning Lender shall hold no Loans or Commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may at any time assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person), to any Defaulting Lender or to the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto), but shall retain its rights pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 in respect of the period prior to such effective date. Any
44

assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.6(c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.
(d) The Register. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Recordation. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Borrower) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower.
(f) Disclosure. Subject to Section 9.14, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee, any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.
(g) Pledges. For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender in accordance with applicable law.
9.7. Adjustments; Set-Off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or Lenders, if any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set‑off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7(d) or (e), or
45

otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise any right of set-off against the Borrower in connection with this Agreement without the consent of the Required Lenders.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the declaration by Lenders having more than 66 2/3 % in aggregate amount of the Loans pursuant to Section 7 of the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set‑off. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
9.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile transmission, facsimile or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
9.9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
46

9.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
9.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
9.12. WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.
9.13. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
47

9.14. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressly agree, for the benefit of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined below), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, self-regulatory authority or, subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.14, any direct counterparty to any swap agreement under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower or its obligations under this Agreement, (c) in any legal, judicial, administrative proceeding or other compulsory process or to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an express agreement for the benefit of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.14, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the prior express written consent of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, (h) to rating agencies in connection with this Agreement, (i) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense or (j) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 9.14, “Confidential Information” means all information, including material nonpublic information within the meaning of Regulation FD promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Regulation FD”), received from the Borrower or its Subsidiaries relating to such entities or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such entities and other than information regarding the existence of this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section 9.14 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information; provided, however, that with respect to disclosures pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section, unless prohibited by law or applicable court order, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall make reasonable attempts to notify the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any routine examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender conducted in the ordinary course by any regulatory authority) or other Person for disclosure of Confidential Information after receipt of such request, and if reasonable, practicable and permissible, before disclosure of such Confidential Information. It is understood and agreed that the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and
48

their respective Affiliates may rely upon this Section 9.14 for any purpose, including without limitation to comply with Regulation FD.
9.15. Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
9.16. California Judicial Reference.
If any action or proceeding is filed in a court of the State of California by or against any party hereto in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (a) the court shall, and is hereby directed to, make a general reference pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 to a referee (who shall be a single active or retired judge) to hear and determine all of the issues in such action or proceeding (whether of fact or of law) and to report a statement of decision, provided that at the option of any party to such proceeding, any such issues pertaining to a “provisional remedy” as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.8 shall be heard and determined by the court, and (b) without limiting the generality of Section 9.5, the Borrower shall be solely responsible to pay all fees and expenses of any referee appointed in such action or proceeding.
9.17. No Fiduciary Duty. No Credit Party acting in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be in an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship with the Borrower and its Affiliates or have a fiduciary or other implied duty to the Borrower and its Affiliates. The Borrower has been advised that the Credit Parties are engaged in a broad range of transactions in the ordinary course of their business that may involve interests that differ from the Borrower’s and its Affiliates’ interests and that the Credit Parties have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Borrower and its Affiliates.
9.18. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or
49

other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
