In the case of any such request with respect to Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request with respect to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer thereof. Each Revolving Lender (in the case of any such request with respect to Revolving Loans) or the applicable L/C Issuer (in the case of a request with respect to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 2:00 p.m. five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Revolving Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(c) Any failure by a Revolving Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in clause (b) above shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Revolving Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Revolving Lenders consent to making Revolving Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Revolving Loans. If the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes by such L/C Issuer to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances by such L/C Issuer. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.07, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower.

Section 1.08 . Change of Currency.

(a) Each obligation of the Borrower to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Credit Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

(b) Each provision of this Credit Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

(c) Each provision of this Credit Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.

Section 1.09 . Letter of Credit Amounts.

All references herein to the amount of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to mean the Dollar Equivalent of the amount available to be drawn on such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided that for purposes of Sections 2.01(a) and 2.01(b), the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations and Revolving Obligations shall include the maximum face amount available to be drawn of each Letter of Credit after giving effect to all increases thereof contemplated by such Letter of Credit or the Issuer Documents related thereto, whether or not such maximum face amount is in effect at such time.

(b) Letters of Credit. Subject to Section 2.14, during the Commitment Period, (i) each L/C Issuer, in reliance upon the commitments of the Revolving Lenders set forth herein, agrees (A) to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies for the account of the Borrower or any member of the Consolidated Group on any Business Day, (B) to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued hereunder, and (C) to honor drawings under Letters of Credit issued by it; and (ii) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to purchase from each L/C Issuer a participation interest in Letters of Credit issued by it hereunder in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof; provided that (A) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations shall not exceed THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($300,000,000) (as such amount may be decreased in accordance with the provisions hereof, the “L/C Sublimit”), (B) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Obligations denominated in Alternative Currencies shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit, (C) with regard to the Revolving Lenders collectively, the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Obligations shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount, (D) with regard to each Revolving Lender individually, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of Revolving Obligations shall not exceed its respective Revolving Committed Amount and (E) with regard to each L/C Issuer individually, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer shall not exceed its respective L/C Fronting Sublimit.

(c) Swingline Loans. Subject to Section 2.14, during the Commitment Period, the Swingline Lender agrees, in reliance upon the commitments of the other Revolving Lenders set forth herein, to make revolving credit loans (the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower on any Business Day; provided that (i) the Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans shall not exceed ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000) (as such amount may be decreased in accordance with the provisions hereof, the “Swingline Sublimit”), (ii) with respect to the Revolving Lenders collectively, the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Obligations shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount and (iii) with respect to each Revolving Lender individually, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of Revolving Obligations shall not exceed its respective Revolving Committed Amount.

Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a participation interest in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof.

(d) Incremental Revolving Commitments. Any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments hereunder as provided in this Section 2.01(d) (the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”); provided that:

(vii) additional Incremental Revolving Commitments will be in a minimum principal amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof; and

(viii) if any Revolving Loans are outstanding at the time of any such increase, the Borrower will make such payments and adjustments on the Revolving Loans (including payment of any break-funding amounts owing under Section 3.05) as may be necessary to give effect to the revised commitment amounts and percentages.

Any Revolving Loans made in connection with the Incremental Revolving Commitments established hereunder shall have terms identical to the Revolving Loans existing on the Closing Date, except for fees payable to Revolving Lenders providing Incremental Revolving Commitments. In connection with the establishment of any Incremental Revolving Commitments, (A) none of CGMI, Barclays Capital, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated, RBS Securities Inc. and UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as the joint lead arrangers hereunder, shall have any obligation to arrange for or assist in arranging for any Incremental Revolving Commitments without their prior written approval and shall be subject to such conditions, including fee arrangements, as may be provided in connection therewith, (B) none of the Revolving Lenders, including Citibank and Barclays, shall have any obligation to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitments without their prior written approval and (C) Schedule 2.01(a) will be revised to reflect the Revolving Lenders, Loans, Revolving Commitments and Revolving Commitment Percentages after giving effect to the establishment of any Incremental Revolving Commitments.

Section 2.02 . Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations.

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone by a Responsible Officer. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (x) 2:00 p.m. (i) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of or (ii) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of or (y) 12:00 noon with respect to Base Rate Loans on the requested date of, in each case any Borrowing, conversion or continuation. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(b), each Borrowing, conversion or continuation shall be in a principal amount of $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether such request is for a Borrowing, conversion or continuation, (ii) the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, and (vi) the currency of the Loans to be borrowed or continued. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice, then for all purposes of the Credit Agreement (including Section 3.05), the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely requested that the applicable Loans be made as Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower fails to give a notice requesting a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans by 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely requested that the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars with an Interest Period of one month; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. Any such automatic conversion shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, the Interest Period will be deemed to be one (1) month. No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the amount of its pro rata share (determined in accordance with its respective Revolving Commitment Percentage) of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the details of any automatic conversion or continuation described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Citibank with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case, in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, without the consent of the Required Lenders, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default or Event of Default at the request of the Required Lenders, (i) no Loan may be requested as, converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (ii) any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be prepaid or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof and (iii) any outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Australian Dollars and Swedish Kroner shall, without further act of the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Lenders, be prepaid or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders of any change in Citibank’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

Section 2.03 . Additional Provisions with Respect to Letters of Credit.

(a) Obligation to Issue or Amend.

(i) No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

(iv) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if:

(A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof; or

(B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer. Such L/C Application, as completed and signed and including agreed-upon draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer, must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (A) not later than 2:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars and (B) not later than 2:00 p.m. at least four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency (or, in each case, such later date and time as the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such L/C Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any Credit Party, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article 5 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case, in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable L/C Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued (but in any event not later than thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled expiry date thereof). Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Expiration Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable L/C Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the applicable L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non- reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), such L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.

(v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) such L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the second Business Day following the date of any payment by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the second Business Day following the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed as set forth in Section 2.03(c)(ii) in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02(a) (but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments) for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans. Any notice given by the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than (x) if such notice is received by such Revolving Lender at or prior to 3:00 p.m. on any Business Day, 5:00 p.m. on such Business Day (or such later time and date as shall be specified in such notice) and (y) if such notice is received by such Revolving Lender after 3:00 p.m. on any Business Day, 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day following such Business Day (or such later time and date as shall be specified in such notice), whereupon, in either case, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii) and satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.02, each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars, or if requested by such L/C Issuer, the equivalent amount thereof in an Alternative Currency as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (determined as of such funding date) for the purchase of such Alternative Currency with Dollars.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans for any reason (including failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.02) and if the Borrower fails to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer within the time period set forth in Section 2.03(c)(i), the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced which L/C Borrowing shall bear interest at the Default Rate and be due and payable on demand (together with interest thereon). In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) If the L/C Issuer shall fund any drawing under a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such amount in full on the date such payment is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such payment is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such amount (or such amount is refinanced with an L/C Advance or a Base Rate Loan as contemplated by foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii)). Until a Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (C) with respect to funding participations in L/C Borrowings, non-compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 5.02, or (D) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such L/C Issuer shall have complied with the provisions of Section 2.03(b)(ii). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect as reasonably determined by such L/C Issuer.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in Dollars and in the same type of funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to such Borrower and, in the event of any claim of non-compliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of the L/C Issuers in such Capacity. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to such Borrower’s use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as the Borrower may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against any L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if any L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the L/C Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the L/C Expiration Date, as the case may be). The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable L/C Issuer and the Revolving Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts or money market fund accounts at the Administrative Agent.

(h) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(i) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(j) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay Letter of Credit fees as set forth in Section 2.09(b)(i).

(k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(l) Letter of Credit Reports. To the extent any Letters of Credit issued by an L/C Issuer are outstanding, such L/C Issuer shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall furnish to each Revolving Lender (with a copy to the Borrower)) on the first Business Day of each month (A) a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all such Letters of Credit and (B) a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate face amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer.

Section 2.04 . Additional Provisions with Respect to Swingline Loans.

(a) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone by a Responsible Officer. Each such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $1,000,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swingline Lender of any telephonic Loan Notice, the Swingline Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Loan Notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) prior to 2:30 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swingline Borrowing (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in this Article 2, or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article 5 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swingline Lender in immediately available funds.

(b) Refinancing.

(i) The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. The Swingline Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(b)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(i), the request for Revolving Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(b) by the time specified in Section 2.04(b)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (C) non-compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 5.02, or (D) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that the Swingline Lender has complied with the provisions of Section 2.04(a). No such purchase or funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swingline Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

(d) Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swingline Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect thereof shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender.

(e) Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender.

Section 2.05 . Repayment of Loans.

(a) Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Revolving Lenders the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination Date.

(b) Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the Outstanding Amount of the Swingline Loans on the earlier to occur of (i) the date of demand by the Swingline Lender and (ii) the Revolving Termination Date.

Section 2.06 . Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Loans may be repaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except, in the case of Loans other than Base Rate Loans, amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05 and as otherwise provided for herein); provided that:

(i) in the case of Loans other than Swingline Loans, (A) notice thereof must be received by 2:00 p.m. by the Administrative Agent on the date of prepayment and (B) any such prepayment shall be a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire remaining principal amount thereof; and

(ii) in the case of Swingline Loans, (A) notice thereof must be received by the Swingline Lender by 2:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), and (B) any such prepayment shall be in the same minimum principal amounts as for advances thereof (or any lesser amount that may be acceptable to the Swingline Lender).

Each such notice of voluntary prepayment hereunder shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and the Loans and Types of Loans that are being prepaid. The Administrative Agent will give prompt notice to each applicable Revolving Lender of any prepayment on the Loans and such Revolving Lender’s interest therein. Prepayments of Eurocurrency Rate Loans hereunder shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid and breakage or other amounts due, if any, under Section 3.05.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If at any time (A) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Obligations shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount, (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations shall exceed the L/C Sublimit, or (C) the Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans shall exceed the Swingline Sublimit, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Revolving Obligations (including Cash Collateralizing the L/C Obligations) in an amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that, except with respect to clause (ii), L/C Obligations will not be Cash Collateralized hereunder until the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have been paid in full.

(ii) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Obligations denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect, then, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Obligations (including Cash Collateralizing the L/C Obligations) denominated in Alternative Currencies in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect. The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial prepayment or deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Revolving Obligations be repaid and additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of further exchange rate fluctuations.

(iii) If there occurs any Change of Control with respect to the Borrower, then within five (5) Business Days of such Change of Control, the Borrower shall (A) prepay the then Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans, (B) Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations and (C) pay all accrued and unpaid interest and fees hereunder.

(c) Application. Within each Loan, prepayments will be applied first to Base Rate Loans, then to Eurocurrency Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. Prepayments on the Revolving Obligations will be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective interests therein.

Section 2.07 . Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments.

(a) The Revolving Commitments hereunder may be permanently reduced in whole or in part by notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) any such notice thereof must be received by 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day of the date of reduction or termination and any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Revolving Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the Revolving Obligations then outstanding thereunder. The Administrative Agent will give prompt notice to the Revolving Lenders of any such reduction in Revolving Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied ratably to the commitment of each Revolving Lender according to its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof. All commitment or other fees accrued with respect thereto through the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(b) If there occurs any Change of Control with respect to the Borrower, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date of such Change of Control and the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest and fees hereunder.

Section 2.08 . Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Percentage; (ii) each Loan that is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage; and (iii) each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage.

(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Revolving Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Revolving Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Credit Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

(iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Revolving Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

Section 2.09 . Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. Subject to Section 2.14(d), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Percentage of the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans plus (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Commitment Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article 5 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each of March, June, September and December (for the Commitment Fee accrued during the previous calendar quarter), commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Termination Date. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Percentage during any quarter, the actual daily unused amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Percentage separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Percentage was in effect. For purposes hereof, Swingline Loans shall not be counted toward or be considered as usage of the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. Subject to Section 2.14(d), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, a Letter of Credit fee, in Dollars, for each Letter of Credit, an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage multiplied by the daily stated amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on such day (the “Letter of Credit Fees”). For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. The Letter of Credit Fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears, and shall be due and payable on the last day of each of March, June, September and December (for the Letter of Credit Fees accrued during the previous calendar quarter), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and on the L/C Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Percentage during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Percentage separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Percentage was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(ii) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee at a rate per annum to be agreed by the Borrower and such L/C Issuer, computed on the daily stated amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the last day of each of March, June, September and December (for fronting fees accrued during the previous calendar quarter or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and on the L/C Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other documentary and processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(i) The Borrower shall pay to Citibank, CGMI and Barclays, for their own respective accounts, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

Section 2.10 . Computation of Interest and Fees.

All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Citibank’s prime rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year or, in the case of interest in respect of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one (1) day.

Section 2.11 . Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (of which the Borrower shall have received at least three (3) Business Days’ advance notice) on the dates specified herein. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent as of the applicable Revaluation Date of such Alternative Currency payment. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Revolving Lender its pro rata share of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Revolving Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m. in the case of payments in Dollars or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Subject to the definition of “Interest Period”, if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by Revolving Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Revolving Lender prior to the proposed date (in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans) or 90 minutes prior to the proposed time (in the case of Base Rate Loans) of any Borrowing that such Revolving Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Revolving Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Revolving Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Revolving Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Revolving Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. If the Borrower and such Revolving Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Revolving Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing, and to the extent such amount has not been paid to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will transmit such amount to the Borrower in Same Day Funds. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Revolving Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Revolving Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Revolving Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Revolving Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article 5 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Revolving Lender) to such Revolving Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligation of the Revolving Lenders Several. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Revolving Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Revolving Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

Section 2.12 . Sharing of Payments by Revolving Lenders. If any Revolving Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, interest on or fees in respect of any of the Loans made by it or Revolving Commitments held by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swingline Loans held by it resulting in such Revolving Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest and fees thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Revolving Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans of the other Revolving Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest and fees on their respective Loans and Revolving Commitments and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 2.12 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Revolving Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.12 shall apply).

Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Revolving Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Revolving Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.13 . Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Revolving Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Revolving Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f. 103-1(c) as agent for the Borrower, in each case, in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Revolving Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Revolving Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Revolving Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Note for such Revolving Lender, which shall evidence such Revolving Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Revolving Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a) above, each Revolving Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Each Revolving Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations, acting solely for this purpose as agent for the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of such Participants (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and the rights, interest or obligation of such Participants in any Obligation, in any Revolving Commitment and in any right to receive any payments hereunder; provided that no Revolving Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of such register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Revolving Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Section 2.14 . Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Cash Collateral Call. If any Revolving Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan is at the time outstanding, the applicable L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the Revolving Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.14(b)), by notice to the Borrower and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to such L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan in amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to such L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Exposure. If a Revolving Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to the Defaulting Lender Exposure of such Defaulting Lender:

(i) the Defaulting Lender Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments; provided that (A) each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Obligations may not in any event exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, the Swingline Lender or any other Revolving Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender;

(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “Unreallocated Portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Defaulting Lender Exposure cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than three (3) Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the applicable L/C Issuer and/or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be), (A) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to such L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender in respect of such Defaulting Lender Exposure in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Defaulting Lender Exposure, (B) in the case of the Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of outstanding Swingline Loans, prepay (subject to clause (iii) below) in full the unreallocated portion thereof or (C) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the applicable L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender (it is understood and agreed that the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender shall be under no obligation to issue or amend Letters of Credit or make additional Swingline Loans during such three (3) Business Day period unless the Borrower shall have satisfied its obligations pursuant to this clause (ii) or the applicable Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof; and

(iii) any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Credit Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.14(c)) the termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Credit Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed L/C Advances then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders and seventh after the termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Credit Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(c) Change in Status. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender agree in writing in their discretion that a Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.14(b)), such Revolving Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Revolving Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Obligations to be held by each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, whereupon such Revolving Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and each Revolving Lender’s risk participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Revolving Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Revolving Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(d) Fees. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or (b) (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees); provided that (a) to the extent that a portion of the Defaulting Lender Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.14(b), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments and (b) to the extent any portion of such Defaulting Lender Exposure cannot be so reallocated, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender as their interests appear (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.11 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section 2.14(d).

ARTICLE 3

Taxes, Yield Protection and Illegality

Section 3.01 . Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower, or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01(a)) the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower, or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower, or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by the Borrower, or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such deducted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Credit Agreement as having been paid to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, with respect to which the relevant deduction was made. If the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer is entitled to any payment under this subsection (a) due to a Change in Law, such party shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to the effect thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the right to payment for such party.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 3.01(c)) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than any penalty imposed as a result of any gross negligence or unlawful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Revolving Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Revolving Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that promptly following written request therefor, any such Revolving Lender or L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent shall deliver a statement to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for amount set forth in such certificate.

Each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes attributable to such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Revolving Lender or L/C Issuer, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Revolving Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Revolving Lender under this Credit Agreement, on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally able to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed and signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(ii) duly completed and signed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form),

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (y) duly completed and signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form), or

(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed and signed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

Any Revolving Lender or L/C Issuer that is a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Revolving Lender or L/C Issuer becomes a Revolving Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, under this Credit Agreement, on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Revolving Lender or L/C Issuer is legally able to do so), duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Revolving Lender or L/C Issuer is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer determines in good faith that it has received a refund of any Indemnified 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 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of, and any loss or gain realized in the conversion of such funds from or to another currency incurred by, the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, 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 the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection (f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer 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.

Section 3.02 . Illegality.

If any Revolving Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Revolving Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Revolving Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, (i) Dollars or any Alternative Currency other than Euro in the London interbank market or (ii) Euro in the European interbank market, then, in either case, on notice thereof by such Revolving Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Revolving Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or to convert Loans that are Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Revolving Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in the affected currency or currencies that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Revolving Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all such Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Revolving Lender in the affected currency or currencies to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Revolving Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Revolving Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 3.03 . Inability to Determine Rates.

If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the London or European interbank market, as the case may be, for the applicable currency, amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Revolving Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Revolving Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Revolving Lenders to make or maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Section 3.04 . Increased Cost; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Revolving Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate) or any L/C Issuer; or

(ii) impose on any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Credit Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Revolving Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Revolving Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.04(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes that are subject to, or excluded from Section 3.01.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Revolving Lender or such Revolving Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Revolving Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Revolving Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, Revolving Commitments of such Revolving Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Revolving Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Revolving Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Revolving Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Revolving Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts, as determined in good faith, as will compensate such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Revolving Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Revolving Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04 shall be delivered to the Borrower. The Borrower shall pay such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Revolving Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Revolving Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Revolving Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 3.05 . Compensation for Losses.

Upon demand of any Revolving Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Revolving Lender for and hold such Revolving Lender harmless from any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Revolving Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

(c) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13; or

(d) any payment by the Borrower of the principal of or interest on any Revolving Loan or of any drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency in a different currency from the Alternative Currency in which the applicable Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated (except to the extent the applicable L/C Issuer has required payment of any drawing under a Letter of Credit in Dollars pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)(A));

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Revolving Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Revolving Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Revolving Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Revolving Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Revolving Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Revolving Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Revolving Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Revolving Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Revolving Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Revolving Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Revolving Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

(c) Limitation on Additional Amounts, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 3 of this Credit Agreement, unless a Revolving Lender gives notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay an amount under this Article 3 within six (6) months after the later of (i) the date the Revolving Lender incurs the respective increased costs, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or (ii) the date such Revolving Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of the respective increased costs, loss, expense or liability, reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Revolving Lender shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the Borrower pursuant to this Article 3, to the extent of the costs, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital that are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs six (6) months prior to such Revolving Lender giving notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to this Article 3.

Section 3.07 . Survival Losses.

All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article 3 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Guaranty

Section 4.01 . The Guaranty.

(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to the Administrative Agent and each of the holders of the Obligations, as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Guaranteed Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Credit Documents, or other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

Section 4.02 . Obligations Unconditional.

The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents or other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, or any substitution, compromise, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article 4 until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto have expired or been terminated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, or other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Credit Documents or other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any of the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or

(e) any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of acceptance of the guaranty given hereby and of extensions of credit that may constitute obligations guaranteed hereby, notices of amendments, waivers and supplements to the Credit Documents and other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, or the compromise, release or exchange of collateral or security, and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Guaranteed Obligations exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Credit Documents or any other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 4.03 . Reinstatement.

Neither the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of the Borrower, by reason of the Borrower’s bankruptcy or insolvency or by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article 4 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each holder of Guaranteed Obligations on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any law firm or other counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such holder of Guaranteed Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.

Section 4.04 . Certain Waivers.

Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the guaranty given hereby may be enforced without the necessity of resorting to or otherwise exhausting remedies in respect of any other security or collateral interests, and without the necessity at any time of having to take recourse against the Borrower hereunder or against any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, (b) it will not assert any right to require the action first be taken against the Borrower or any other Person (including any co-guarantor) or pursuit of any other remedy or enforcement any other right and (c) nothing contained herein shall prevent or limit action being taken against the Borrower hereunder, under the other Credit Documents or the other documents and agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or from foreclosing on any security or collateral interests relating hereto or thereto, or from exercising any other rights or remedies available in respect thereof, if neither the Borrower nor the Guarantors shall timely perform their obligations, and the exercise of any such rights and completion of any such foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder unless as a result thereof, the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated, it being the purpose and intent that the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder be absolute, irrevocable, independent and unconditional under all circumstances.

Section 4.05 . Remedies.

The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01.

Section 4.06 . Rights of Contribution.

The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in accordance with applicable Law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated.

Section 4.07 . Guaranty of Payment; Continuing Guaranty.

The guarantee in this Article 4 is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, and is a continuing guarantee, shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising and, subject to the terms of this Article 4, is irrevocable and shall remain in full force and effect until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full and the Revolving Commitments are terminated.

Section 4.08 . Release.

A Guarantor shall be released and relieved of its obligations under the guaranty set forth in this Article 4 if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would exist after giving effect to such release) and such Guarantor is concurrently released from its guarantees under all of the Existing Senior Notes and any Additional Notes then outstanding. In connection with the release of any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver any documents reasonably required by the Borrower to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the guaranty set forth in this Article 4, subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower of a certification as to matters set forth in the preceding sentence, upon which the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including, as permitted under Section 11.04, all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any law firm or other counsel and amounts payable under Article 3) payable to the Administrative Agent, in each case, in its capacity as such;

(a) Each of the Revolving Lenders and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article 10 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by any L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article 10 included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.

Section 10.02 . Administrative Agent Individually.

(a) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Revolving Lender as any other Revolving Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Revolving Lender” or “Revolving Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Revolving Lenders.

(b) Each Revolving Lender understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses, collectively, the “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, another Credit Party or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Credit Parties or their Affiliates. Each Revolving Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Credit Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Revolving Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Revolving Lender or use on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Revolving Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Credit Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders.

(c) Each Revolving Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Credit Parties and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Revolving Lenders (including the interests of the Revolving Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Documents). Each Revolving Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Revolving Lender. None of (i) this Credit Agreement nor any other Credit Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Credit Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Revolving Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Credit Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.

(d) In the event that Citibank or any of its Affiliates shall be or become an indenture trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as amended, the “Trust Indenture Act”) in respect of any securities issued or guaranteed by any Credit Party, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any payment or property received in satisfaction of or in respect of any Obligation of such Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or on behalf of Citibank in its capacity as the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Revolving Lender under any Credit Document (other than Citibank or an Affiliate of Citibank) and which is applied in accordance with the Credit Documents shall be deemed to be exempt from the requirements of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 311(b)(3) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 10.03 . Duties of Administrative Agent; Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Credit Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Revolving Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable Law.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Revolving Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 or 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default unless and until the Borrower, any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Default or such event or events.

(c) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Nothing in this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer and each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer confirms to the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Section 10.04 . Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Revolving Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any other Credit Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 10.05 . Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 10 and Section 11.04 (as though such sub-agents and Related Parties were the “Administrative Agent” under the Credit Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 10.06 . Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Revolving Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower (provided, no consultation shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Revolving Lender Party Appointment Period”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Revolving Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.

(b) In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Administrative Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders and the L/C Issuers, a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Revolving Lender Party Appointment Period notify the Borrower, the Revolving Lenders and the L/C Issuers that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent and the effective date of such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, which effective date shall be no earlier than three (3) Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the effective date of the resignation established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article 10 and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation pursuant to this Section 10.06 by a Person acting as Administrative Agent shall, unless such Person shall notify the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders otherwise, also act to relieve such Person and its Affiliates of any obligation to advance or issue new, or extend existing, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit where such advance, issuance or extension is to occur on or after the effective date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, (iii) the successor Swingline Lender shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption and acquire from the retiring Swingline Lender each outstanding Swingline Loan of such retiring Swingline Lender for a purchase price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest and (iv) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the Required Lenders determine that the Person serving as Administrative Agent is (without taking into account any provision in the definition of “Defaulting Lender” requiring notice from the Administrative Agent or any other party) a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to Section 11.01) may by notice to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, be effective on the earlier of (i) the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) the date three (3) Business Days after the giving of such notice by the Required Lenders (regardless of whether a replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed).

Section 10.07 . Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

(a) Each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer confirms to the Administrative Agent, each other Revolving Lender and L/C Issuer and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Administrative Agent, any other Revolving Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Credit Agreement, (y) making the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and (z) in taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Credit Agreement and making the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Credit Documents is suitable and appropriate for it.

(b) Each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Credit Agreement based on such documents and information, as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:

(i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower and each other Credit Party;

(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Credit Agreement and each other Credit Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Credit Document;

(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition; and

(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information delivered by the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Credit Document.

Section 10.08 . No Other Duties, etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the “Syndication Agent”, “Co-Documentation Agents”, “Joint-Lead Arrangers” and “Joint Bookrunners” listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Revolving Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither the Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agents, Joint-Lead Arrangers nor Joint Bookrunners in their respective capacities as such shall, by reason of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Revolving Lender, Credit Party or any other Person.

Section 10.09 . Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Revolving Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Revolving Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Revolving Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Revolving Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

Section 10.10 . Release of Guarantors.

The Revolving Lenders and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the guaranty in Article 4 (i) if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or (ii) at the request of the Borrower, so long as such Person is not required to be a Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.12 and immediately after giving effect to such release no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the authority of the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder pursuant to this Section 10.10.

ARTICLE 11

Miscellaneous

Section 11.01 . Amendments, etc.

No amendment or waiver of, or any consent to deviation from, any provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Borrower or the applicable Credit Party, as the case may be, and the Required Lenders and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given; provided, however, that:

(a) unless also consented to in writing by each Revolving Lender directly affected thereby, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(i) extend or increase the Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender (or reinstate any Revolving Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 9.02), it being understood that the amendment or waiver of an Event of Default shall not be considered an increase in Revolving Commitments;

(ii) waive non-payment or postpone any date fixed by this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to any Revolving Lender hereunder or under any other Credit Document; or

(iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (A) to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate or (B) to amend the financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Borrowing or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;

(b) unless also consented to in writing by each Revolving Lender, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(i) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors, except as otherwise contemplated hereunder,

(ii) change any provision of Section 1.07 or the definition of “Alternative Currency” (other than in accordance with the terms of Section 1.07),

(d) unless also consented to in writing by the Swingline Lender, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Swingline Lender under this Credit Agreement; and

(e) unless also consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document;

provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) during such period as a Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, such Revolving Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Revolving Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Defaulting Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Revolving Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, (ii) each Revolving Lender is entitled to vote as such Revolving Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy or insolvency reorganization plan that affects the Loans, (iii) each Revolving Lender acknowledged that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein, (iv) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (v) Section 11.06(h) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification and (vi) the Fee Letters may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the applicable parties thereto.

(v) if to any other Revolving Lender, to it at its address (or facsimile number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire;

or at such other address as shall be notified in writing (x) in the case of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender, to the other parties and (y) in the case of all other parties, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(b) Effectiveness of Communications. All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications described in clause (a) shall be effective (i) if delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by mail, when deposited in the mail, (iii) if delivered by posting to the Approved Electronic Platform, an Internet website or other device requiring that a user have prior access to the Approved Electronic Platform, website or other device (to the extent permitted by this Section 11.02 to be delivered hereunder), when such notice, demand, request, consent and other communication shall have been made generally available on the Approved Electronic Platform, Internet website or similar device to the class of Person being notified (regardless of whether any such Person must accomplish, and whether or not any such Person shall have accomplished, any action prior to obtaining access to such items, including registration, disclosure of contact information, compliance with a standard user agreement or undertaking a duty of confidentiality) and such Person has been notified in respect of such posting that a communication has been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform and (iv) if delivered by electronic mail or any other telecommunications device, when transmitted to an electronic mail address (or by another means of electronic delivery) as provided in clause (a); provided, however, that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 2 or Article 10 shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent.

(c) Delivery of Approved Electronic Communications. Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) (unless the Administrative Agent requests that the provisions of clauses (a) and (b) be followed) and any other provision in this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document providing for the delivery of any Approved Electronic Communication by any other means, the Credit Parties shall deliver all Approved Electronic Communications to the Administrative Agent by properly transmitting such Approved Electronic Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ or such other electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Administrative Agent may notify to the Borrower. Nothing in this clause (c) shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to any Credit Party in any manner authorized in this Credit Agreement or to request that the Borrower effect delivery in such manner.

(d) Posting of Approved Electronic Communications. Each of the Revolving Lenders, each L/C Issuer and each Credit Party agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Revolving Lenders and the L/C Issuers by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntralinksTM or a substantially similar electronic Approved Electronic Platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(e) Confidentiality of Approved Electronic Communications. Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Revolving Lenders, each L/C Issuer and each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Revolving Lenders, each L/C Issuer and each Credit Party hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(f) Accuracy of Approved Electronic Communications. THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE AGENT’S GROUP WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS.

(g) Storing Approved Electronic Communications. Each of the Revolving Lenders, each L/C Issuer and each Credit Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures.

(h) Liability of Administrative Agent. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Credit Party, any Revolving Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Agent Party’s transmission of Approved Electronic Communications through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Credit Party, any Revolving Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(i) Notice to Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer.

(j) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, each Revolving Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

(k) Change of Address; etc. Each Revolving Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Revolving Lender.

Section 11.03 . No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

No failure by any Revolving Lender, any L/C Issuer, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

Section 11.04 . Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender, any L/C Issuer or any Affiliates of any of the foregoing (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender, any L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate (which shall be designated by the Administrative Agent) and (x) appropriate local counsel in applicable local jurisdictions, but limited to one local counsel in each such jurisdiction (which shall be designated by the Administrative Agent), (y) appropriate regulatory counsel in applicable specialties, but limited to one regulatory counsel in each such specialty (which shall be designated by the Administrative Agent) and (z) in the case of a conflict of interest (whether actual or potential), additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for similarly situated parties) and all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including its rights under this Section 11.04, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including any settlement costs and fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any Environmental Liability related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Credit Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document, if the Borrower or such Credit Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 11.04(a) and (b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes that are subject to, or excluded from Section 3.01.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 11.04 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined in each case as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(d).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 11.04 shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section 11.04 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent and any L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Revolving Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

Section 11.05 . Payments Set Aside.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Revolving Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Revolving Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including, pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Revolving Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and (b) each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

Section 11.06 . Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Lender (other than in connection with a transaction permitted by Section 8.03) and no Revolving Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 11.06, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 11.06, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section 11.06 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section 11.06 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Revolving Lender may at any time assign to one (1) or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that

(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Revolving Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless, in each case, each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Revolving Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Revolving Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swingline Loans;

(iii) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans must be approved by the Administrative Agent, each of the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender, unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee) and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower’s approval shall (1) not be required if the proposed assignee is a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender and (2) be deemed to have been given if the Borrower shall have failed to object in writing to the Administration Agent within five (5) Business Days of written notice of such assignment; and

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Revolving Lender, shall (A) deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and (B) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(e).

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 11.06, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Revolving Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Revolving Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Revolving Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Revolving Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Revolving Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Revolving Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this subsection (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Revolving Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 11.06.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Revolving Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations and the interest thereon owing and paid to, each Revolving Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Revolving Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and each L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Revolving Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and the forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Revolving Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 11.06 and any consent to such assignment required by this Section 11.06, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Credit Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(d) Participations. Any Revolving Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Eligible Assignee (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Revolving Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or Loans (including such Revolving Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Revolving Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Revolving Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Revolving Lender in connection with such Revolving Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Revolving Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Revolving Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Revolving Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 11.01(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section 11.06, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Revolving Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 11.06. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Revolving Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Revolving Lender.

(e) Limitation upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Revolving Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Revolving Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless (i) the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and (ii) such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Revolving Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Revolving Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Revolving Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Revolving Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Revolving Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(h) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Revolving Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Credit Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.11(b)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Credit Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Credit Agreement for which a Granting Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Credit Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the Laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(i) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) (i) such L/C Issuer, may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (ii) the Swingline Lender may upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as the Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. If any L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Revolving Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If the Swingline Lender resigns as the Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Revolving Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swingline Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigning L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such resigning L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 11.07 . Confidentiality; Treatment of Certain Information.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.07, to (A) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant (that meets the eligibility requirements hereunder) in, any of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement, (B) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap, derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Credit Agreement or payments hereunder, (C) any Rating Service or (D) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.07 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

For purposes of this Section 11.07, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) Certain of the Revolving Lenders and L/C Issuers may enter into this Credit Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Credit Documents on the basis of information that does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Credit Parties or their securities (“Restricting Information”). Other Revolving Lenders and L/C Issuers may enter into this Credit Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Credit Documents on the basis of information that may contain Restricting Information. Each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that United States federal and state securities laws prohibit any person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of material, non-public information concerning the such issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other Person. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall, by making any communications (including Restricting Information) available to a Revolving Lender or an L/C Issuer, by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Revolving Lender or an L/C Issuer or otherwise, make or be deemed to make any statement with regard to or otherwise warrant that any such information or communication does or does not contain Restricting Information, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties be responsible or liable in any way for any decision a Revolving Lender or an L/C Issuer may make to limit or not to limit its access to Restricting Information. In particular, none of the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties (i) shall have, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each of its Related Parties, hereby disclaims, any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Revolving Lender or an L/C Issuer has or has not limited its access to Restricting Information, such Revolving Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of material, nonpublic information or such Revolving Lender’s compliance with applicable Laws related thereto or (ii) shall have, or incur, any liability to any Credit Party, any Revolving Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Related Parties arising out of or relating to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties providing or not providing Restricting Information to any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer.

(c) Each Credit Party agrees that (i) all Communications it provides to the Administrative Agent intended for delivery to the Revolving Lenders and L/C Issuers whether by posting to the Approved Electronic Platform or otherwise shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” if such Communications do not contain Restricting Information which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC”, each Credit Party shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders and L/C Issuers to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although, in this latter case, such Communications may contain sensitive business information and, therefore, remain subject to the confidentiality undertakings of this Section 11.07) with respect to such Credit Party or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” may be delivered to all Revolving Lenders and L/C Issuers and may be made available through a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Side Information”, and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as Restricting Information and may post such Communications to a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform not designated “Public Side Information”. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible for any statement or other designation by a Credit Party regarding whether a Communication contains or does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Obligors or their securities nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates incur any liability to any Credit Party, any Revolving Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for any action taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates based upon such statement or designation, including any action as a result of which Restricting Information is provided to a Revolving Lender or an L/C Issuer that may decide not to take access to Restricting Information. Nothing in this Section 11.07 shall modify or limit a Revolving Lender’s or an L/C Issuer’s obligations under subclause (a) with regard to Communications and the maintenance of the confidentiality of or other treatment of Information.

(d) Each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to communications that might contain Restricting Information. Accordingly, each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees that it will nominate at least one designee to receive communications (including Restricting Information) on its behalf and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact information) on such Revolving Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s Administrative Questionnaire. Each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of such Revolving Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Restricting Information may be sent by electronic transmission.

(e) Each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that communications delivered hereunder and under the other Credit Documents may contain Restricting Information and that such communications are available to all Revolving Lenders and L/C Issuers generally. Each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer that elects not to take access to Restricting Information does so voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and other Revolving Lenders or L/C Issuers may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such electing Revolving Lender or L/C Issuer. None of the Administrative Agent nor any Revolving Lender or L/C Issuer with access to Restricting Information shall have any duty to disclose such Restricting Information to such electing Revolving Lender or L/C Issuer or to use such Restricting Information on behalf of such electing Revolving Lender or L/C Issuer, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, such Restricting Information.

(f) The provisions of the foregoing clauses of this Section 11.07 are designed to assist the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Credit Parties, in complying with their respective contractual obligations and applicable Law in circumstances where certain Revolving Lenders or L/C Issuers express a desire not to receive Restricting Information notwithstanding that certain communications hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or other information provided to the Revolving Lenders or the L/C Issuers hereunder or thereunder may contain Restricting Information. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties warrants or makes any other statement with respect to the adequacy of such provisions to achieve such purpose nor does the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties warrant or make any other statement to the effect that any Credit Party’s or any Revolving Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s adherence to such provisions will be sufficient to ensure compliance by such Credit Party, such Revolving Lender, or such L/C Issuer with its contractual obligations or its duties under applicable Law in respect of Restricting Information and each of the Revolving Lenders, each L/C Issuer and each Credit Party assumes the risks associated therewith.

Section 11.08 . Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Revolving Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Revolving Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Revolving Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Revolving Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Revolving Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Revolving Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 11.09 . Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Revolving Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 11.10 . Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Credit Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Credit Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Credit Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement.

Section 11.11 . Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

Section 11.12 . Severability.

If any provision of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.13 . Replacement of Lenders; Termination of Revolving Commitments.

(a) If (v) any Revolving Lender, any Participant of such Revolving Lender or such Revolving Lender on behalf of any Participant of such Revolving Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (w) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Revolving Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Revolving Lender or for the account of a Participant of such Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (x) any Revolving Lender sells a participation pursuant to Section 11.06(d) to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee, (y) any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (z) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Revolving Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Revolving Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Revolving Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Revolving Lender, if a Revolving Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b);

(ii) such Revolving Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws;

(v) such assignment is recorded in the Register; and

(vi) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

A Revolving Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Revolving Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination of any of the provisions of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document (a “Proposed Change”) as contemplated by Section 11.01, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Revolving Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Revolving Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this clause (b) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, at the Borrower’s request, any Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to such Eligible Assignee, all of the Revolving Commitments and Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto and all other amounts payable to it hereunder through the date of sale and payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of the assignment fee under Section 11.06(b); provided, however, that such purchase and sale shall not be effective until (x) the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all Loans held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto and all other amounts payable to it hereunder through the date of the sale. Each Revolving Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Revolving Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided, however, that the failure of any Non- Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid.

Section 11.14 . Governing Law; Jurisdiction; etc.

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER CREDIT PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION 11.14. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11.02. NOTHING IN THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.15.

Each Revolving Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Revolving Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.
