 (ii)  if by the end of such thirty (30) day period the Borrower and the Lenders have not agreed upon substitute definitions for or amendments to the Applicable Margin and Investment Grade, as applicable, pursuant to the preceding paragraph (i), then during a period of sixty (60) days thereafter, the Borrower and the Lenders shall, if such has not already been accomplished, continue to attempt in good faith to agree on a Substitute Rating Entity and, if applicable, Equivalent Ratings and, if a Substitute Rating Entity has been agreed on, the Borrower shall attempt to obtain from the Substitute Rating Entity a rating (“Substitute Rating”) for the long term debt of the Borrower;

it being agreed that:

 (iii)  during the thirty (30) day and sixty (60) day periods contemplated in the preceding paragraphs (i) and (ii), or such part thereof which elapses before an alternate approach is finally established as contemplated in such paragraphs (i) and (ii), the rates applicable from time to time in accordance with the Applicable Margin and based on the rating applicable to the long term debt of the Borrower immediately before the commencement of the thirty (30) day period contemplated in the preceding paragraph (i) shall apply;

 (iv)  if a Substitute Rating Entity and, if applicable, Equivalent Ratings have been agreed on and the Substitute Rating Entity has established a Substitute Rating for the long term debt of the Borrower by or before the expiration of the sixty (60) day period contemplated in the preceding paragraph (ii), then thereupon and thereafter the same shall apply and, if applicable, the Applicable Margin and the definition of Investment Grade shall be deemed to have been amended to incorporate the Equivalent Ratings in place of the ratings referred to in the Applicable Margin and the definition of Investment Grade; provided the Substitute Rating shall be subject to review by the Substitute Rating Entity from time to time (but not more often than once in any 12 month period) at the request of either the Borrower or the Administrative Agent given in writing to the other (any such review to determine whether the Substitute Rating should change to another rating category or, if applicable, Equivalent Rating for the long term debt of the Borrower) and if any such review results in a change in the Substitute Rating, then

35

thereupon and thereafter (subject to further reviews as aforesaid) the same shall apply; and

 (v)  if an alternate approach has not been finally established as contemplated in the preceding paragraphs (i) and (ii) by the expiration of the sixty (60) day period referred to in the preceding paragraph (ii), then the rates applicable from time to time in accordance with the Applicable Margin and based on the rating applicable to the long term debt of the Borrower immediately before the commencement of the thirty (30) day period contemplated in the preceding paragraph (i) shall continue to apply;

 (c)  the rating categories and ratings of any Rating Agency or Substitute Rating Entity referred to herein shall include any equivalent rating category or rating of such Rating Agency or Substitute Rating Entity which replaces the same; and

 (d)  any reference in this Section 1.05 to the long term debt of the Borrower (or to like effect) shall be deemed to be a reference to the senior unsecured non-convertible publicly-held long term debt of the Borrower.

such a Default that is requested to be waived by the Required Lenders, or by each of the Lenders, as set forth in Section 3.02(b). Each Lender shall, before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing (in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Term BenchmarkSOFR Advances), and before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing (in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances or Daily Simple SOFR Advances), make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the account of the Administrative Agent’s Account most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.

(d)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing comprised of Term Benchmark Advances or prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed disbursement of any Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion of any Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s ratable portion of such Borrowing and all

38

reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith together with interest thereon at the Federal FundsNYFRB Rate for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding such obligation if such Lender fails to so pay, the Borrower covenants and agrees that, without prejudice to any rights the Borrower may have against such Lender, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent upon demand therefor by the Administrative Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s ratable portion of such Borrowing and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith together with interest thereon at the Base Rate in the case of a Base Rate Advance and the Term BenchmarkSOFR in the case of a Term BenchmarkSOFR Advance, plus the Applicable Margin with respect thereto, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent. The amount payable to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be set forth in a certificate delivered by the Administrative Agent to such Lender and the Borrower (which certificate shall contain reasonable details concerning the calculation of the amount payable) and shall be prima facie evidence thereof, in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(e)  The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

39

Borrower to any Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier, and (B) the Notice of Issuance relating to such Letter of Credit issuance shall contain a request for a waiver setting forth specifically the Default or event which, but for the application of the last sentence of Section 6.01, would be such a Default that is requested to be waived by the Required Lenders, or by each of the Lenders, as set forth in Section 3.02(b).

In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(b)  Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish to the Administrative Agent on the fifth Business Day of each month a written report summarizing the issuance date, Available Amount and expiration date with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the previous month.

(c)  Drawing and Reimbursement. The payment by any Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by such Issuing Bank of a Base Rate Advance (a “Letter of Credit Advance”), in the amount of such draft. Upon written demand by any Issuing Bank with an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall purchase from such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Letter of Credit Advance as of the date of such purchase, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, by deposit toat the account of the Administrative Agent’s Account most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Issuing Banks, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Advance to be purchased by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such sale and assignment. Each Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the Issuing Bank which made such Advance, provided notice of such demand is given not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time and that its agreement to so purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable. Upon any such assignment by an Issuing Bank to any other Lender of a portion of a Letter of Credit Advance, such Issuing Bank represents and warrants to such other Lender that such Issuing Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, free and clear of any liens, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Letter of Credit Advance, the Loan Documents or the Borrower. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount

40

together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.

(d) Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.04(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.

The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or, interest or, commitment fees or Letter of Credit participation fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.05(b), 2.12, 2.15, 2.21 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders or Issuing Banks to which such amounts shall be payable for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender or Issuing Bank to such Lender or Issuing Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b)  The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender and Issuing Bank, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender or Issuing Bank is not made when due hereunder, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender or Issuing Bank any amount so due.

(c)  All computations of interest based on the rate of interest referred to in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Base Rate” in Section 1.01 shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Term BenchmarkSOFR or the rate of interest referred to in clause (b) or (c) of the definition of the term “Base Rate” in Section 1.01 and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the final day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d)  Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fee, as the case may be; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Term BenchmarkSOFR Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(e)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender or Issuing Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender or Issuing Bank. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment

52

in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender or Issuing Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank until the date such Lender or Issuing Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal FundsNYFRB Rate.

SECTION 2.15. Taxes. (a) Subject to Sections 2.15(e), and 2.15(f) and (h), any and all payments by the Borrower under any Document and Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14, except as required by Applicable Law, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto imposed by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or any other jurisdiction from or through which the Borrower makes payment hereunder, excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its overall net income or capital, branch profits taxes and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender Party, taxes imposed on its overall net income or capital, branch profits taxes and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction in which the principal office or such Lender Party’s Applicable Lending Office is located or any political subdivision thereof or any taxes imposed by Sections 864(c)(7) or 877 of the Internal Revenue Code, or any similar provision of law and (ii) any United States withholding tax imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments under any Document or Loan Document being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Document or Loan Document to any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, or, if the Administrative Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum paid or payable under any Document or Loan Document to any Lender Party, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased by the Borrower as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions, whether by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) such Lender Party and the Administrative Agent receive an amount equal to the sum they each would have received had no such deductions been made (for example, and without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, if the sum paid or payable hereunder from or in respect of which the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required to deduct any Taxes is interest, the interest payable by such Borrower shall be increased by the Borrower as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional interest), such Lender Party and the Administrative Agent each receive interest equal to the interest they each would have received had no such deduction been made), (ii) the Borrower (or, as the case may be and as required by applicable law, the Administrative Agent) shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower (or, as the case may be and as required by applicable law, the Administrative Agent) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b)  In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or similar levies that arise from any payment made under any Document or Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, any Document or Loan Document, except any such taxes or similar

53

levies that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.17(b)) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c)  Subject to Sections 2.15(e), (f) and (hf), the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent for and hold each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or paid by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d)  Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)

(i)  Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the 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 Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (e)(ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)  Each Lender Party that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender Party and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrower or upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender Party (but only so long as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with an executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9s or any subsequent versions

54

thereof or successors thereto as required herein, in each case, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. If any Lender Party fails to deliver Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto as required herein, then the Borrower may withhold from any payment to such Lender Party the applicable backup withholding tax imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and remit such amount to the applicable taxation authority if required by Applicable Law, without reduction, and such Lender Party shall not be entitled to any additional amounts under this Section 2.15 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure.

(iii)  Each Lender Party that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender Party and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrower or upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender Party (but only so long as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with an executed copy of Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form or documentation prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement and, (a) in the case of a Lender Party claiming the benefits of the exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit HF-1, or (b) to the extent a Lender Party is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN-E, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit HF-2 or Exhibit HF-3, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Lender Party is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender Party are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender Party may provide a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit HF-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. If the form provided by a Lender Party under this Section 2.15 at the time such Lender Party first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender Party provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such appropriate form; provided, however, if at the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which a Lender Party assignee becomes a party to this Agreement or at the date such Lender Party changes its Applicable Lending Office, the Lender Party

55

assignor (or the Lender Party, if applicable) was entitled to payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender Party assignee (or the Lender Party, if applicable) on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W- 8BEN-E or W-8ECI, that the Lender Party reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender Party shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.

(iv)  If a payment made to a Lender Party would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender Party shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender Party has complied with such Lender Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 2.15(e)(ii), FATCA shall include any Treasury regulations or interpretations thereof.

(f)  For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.15(e), such Lender Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.15(a) or Section 2.15(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

(g)  In the event that an additional payment is made under Section 2.15(a) or Section 2.15(c) for the account of any Lender Party and such Lender Party, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determines that it has finally and irrevocably received or been granted a credit against or release or remission for, or repayment of, any tax paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with reference to the deduction or withholding giving rise to such additional payment, such Lender Party shall, to the extent that it determines that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment, pay to the Borrower such amount as such Lender Party shall, in its sole discretion, have determined to be attributable to such deduction or withholding and which will leave such Lender Party (after such payment) in no worse position than it would have been in if the Borrower had not been required to make such deduction or withholding; provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender Party, agrees to pay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest and other reasonable charges) to such Lender Party in the event such Lender Party is required to

56

repay such credit, relief, remission or repayment to the applicable taxation authority. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender Party to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender Party to claim any tax credit or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender Party to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

SECTION 2.16. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Advances or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the 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 Advances and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Advances and other amounts owing them; provided that:

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

(ii)  the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances or participations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraphSection 2.16 shall apply).

The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender by delivering payment pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 or requires the Borrower to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost

57

or expense and would not otherwise cause more than an insubstantial disadvantage to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)  Replacement of Lenders. So long as no Default is continuing, if (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15, (ii) [reserved], (iii) any Lender fails to extend the Termination Date in accordance with Section 8.11, (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (v) any Lender does not approve any consent, waiver or amendment that (x) requires the approval of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 8.01 and (y) has been approved by the Required Lenders (a “Non-Approving Lender”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, within fifteen (15) days of being notified of such condition or circumstance, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 8.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i)  the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 8.07;

(ii)  such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 8.04(c)) 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 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv)  such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(v)  in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Approving Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this Section 2.17(b) may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.

58

SECTION 2.18. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely for general corporate purposes of the Borrower (including, without limitation, the making of loans by the Borrower to any of its Subsidiaries) and its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.19. Increase of Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, at any time on or after a Section 2.19 Effective Date, but in any event not more than two times during any calendar year, make a written request (an “Increase Request”) to the Administrative Agent (who shall forward a copy to each Lender) that the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders be increased in (i) an aggregate amount for each Increase Request of not less than $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (such amount being the “Requested RCC Increase”) and (ii) an aggregate amount for such Increase Request, together with the aggregate amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders were previously increased pursuant to this Section 2.19, if any, not to exceed $500,000,000. Such Increase Request shall include a certification by a Senior Financial Officer of the Borrower that no Default has occurred and is continuing and all representations and warranties contained herein are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the Increase Request (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which expressly refers by its terms to a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such date). Any such increase in Revolving Credit Commitments shall be effective as of a date (the “Increase Date”) specified in the related Increase Request that is (I) prior to the Termination Date and (II) at least fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of such Increase Request. Each Increase Request shall specify the date by which Lenders who wish to increase their Revolving Credit Commitments must consent to such increase, which date (the “Commitment Date”) shall be no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Increase Date. Each Lender that is willing to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment (each such Lender, an “Increasing Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment, which amount shall not exceed the amount specified in the relevant Increase Request. Any Lender that does not notify the Administrative Agent by the Commitment Date shall be deemed to have elected not to increase its Commitment. No Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.19 and any such increase shall be in the sole discretion of each Lender and shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Increasing Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested increase, the requested increase shall be allocated among the Increasing Lenders ratably in accordance with the amount by which they offered to increase their respective Revolving Credit Commitments on or prior to the Commitment Date.

(b)  Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Increasing Lenders are willing to participate in the requested increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Increasing Lenders are willing to increase their Revolving Credit Commitments on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested amount, then any one or more Eligible Assignees designated by the Borrower that agree to provide Revolving Credit Commitments may become party to this Agreement by executing and delivering, together with the Borrower, an Accession Letter

59

Agreement pursuant to which such Eligible Assignee shall become a party to this Agreement and, to the extent provided therein, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder; provided that each such Eligible Assignee shall provide a Revolving Credit Commitment in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(c)  On each Increase Date, (i) each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Revolving Credit Commitment increase in accordance with Section 2.19(b) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Increasing Lender shall be increased as of such Increase Date by the amount set forth in its notice delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.19(a) (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the final sentence of Section 2.19(a)) and (ii) if on such date there are Advances outstanding, appropriate adjustments shall be made among the Lenders to cause each Lender to hold its Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Advances as of the Increase Date.

(d)  The Borrower may from time to time in accordance with Section 2.19(a) make an Increase Request on and after a date (each such date, the “Section 2.19 Effective Date”) on which the Administrative Agent shall have received the following in respect of the Requested RCC Increase set forth in such Increase Request, each dated as of the applicable Section 2.19 Effective Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in sufficient copies for each Lender:

(i)  Certified copies of the resolutions of the board of directors of the Borrower approving the transactions contemplated by the applicable Requested RCC Increase, and of all documents evidencing other necessary corporate action and governmental approvals, if any, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.19.

(ii)  A certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Borrower certifying the names and true signatures of the officers of the Borrower authorized to sign an Increase Request and the other documents to be delivered by the Borrower under this Section 2.19.

(iii)  An opinion of New York counsel to the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit DB or otherwise in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.20. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender Party resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender Party from time to time hereunder.

(b)  The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date, amount and type of each Advance made hereunder, and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Assumption and Accession Letter Agreement delivered to and accepted by it,

60

(iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender Party hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.

(c)  Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender Party under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. (a) If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply:

(i)  such Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided that (A) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances and allocated share of the L/C Obligations may not in any event exceed the Revolving Credit 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 or any Lender Party may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender;

(ii)  to the extent that (a) any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s share of the L/C Obligations cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise and (b) the Defaulting Lender has not made an assignment and delegation pursuant to Section 2.17(b)(iv), in each case within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Borrower of written notice by the Administrative Agent that such Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower will, not later than five (5) Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of an Issuing Bank), (A) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such L/C Obligations in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such L/C Obligations, or (B) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender;

(iii)  amounts deposited pursuant to clause (ii) above at the request of any Issuing Bank shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing Bank for any participations required to be funded by such Defaulting Lender. In the event amounts so deposited with respect to any such Defaulting Lender for the benefit of any Issuing Bank exceed the Pro Rata Share of such

61

Defaulting Lender attributable to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and, unless otherwise specified in writing by the Borrower, shall promptly return to the Borrower cash in the amount of such excess;

(v)  any amount paid by the Borrower (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any amounts set off by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.05(b)) or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this 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 2.21(c)) the termination of the Revolving Credit 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 Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to an Issuing Bank (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, 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 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 Credit Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender and the Borrower fails to comply with its obligations under Section 2.21(a)(ii) within the time periods set forth in such section and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized by

62

the Borrower (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 3.02 in such amounts as may be required to fulfill the Borrower’s obligations under Section 2.21(a)(ii)(A).

(c)  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, 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 2.21(a)(iii)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase (for cash at face value) such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Commitments and Letter of Credit Sub-Commitments of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such 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 or Potential Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender.

(R)  liens or other encumbrances granted pursuant to Section 2.21 hereof;

and provided further that (I) in any event, the Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiary shall be entitled to give security that would otherwise be prohibited hereby so long as the aggregate Indebtedness outstanding and secured under this clause (I) and the aggregate Indebtedness outstanding and secured under Section 5.02(b)(i)(N) does not at the time of giving such security exceed an amount equal to 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Borrower at

Any Material Subsidiary that provides a guarantee to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the lendersLenders in accordance with this Section shall also provide such other documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and (ii) to the extent such Material Subsidiary qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, shall provide to any Lender that so requests a Beneficial Ownership Certification.

If any Subsidiary that provides a guarantee to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with this Section is released from its Third Party Guarantee(s) (other than as a result of any payment being made under such Third Party Guarantee(s)), then, upon the request of the Borrower or such Subsidiary for the release of such guarantee and provided that no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such release, such guarantee shall also be released (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute such documents and instruments as the Borrower or such Subsidiary may reasonably request to evidence such release).

ARTICLE VII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 7.01.  Appointment and Authority.  Each Lender Party (in its capacities as a Lender and an Issuing Bank (if applicable)) hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan 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. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Lender Parties hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 7.02.  Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender Party as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender Party” or “Lender Parties” 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, own securities of, 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 Lender Parties.

84

SECTION 7.03.  Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. The motivations of the Administrative Agent are commercial in nature and not to invest in the general performance or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i)   shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)   shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be provided, for herein or in the other Loan Documents) and, unless and until revoked in writing, such direction shall be binding upon each Lender Party; provided that (A) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its reasonable opinion or on the reasonable advice of counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any debtor relief law and (B) the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be provided, for herein or in the other Loan Documents) prior to the exercise of any such directed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided; and

(iii)   shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(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 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 8.01 and 6.01the Loan Documents), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as(such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non- appealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice (stating it is a “notice of default”) describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender Party. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend

SECTION 7.04.  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 an Advance, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), 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.

86

of their Revolving Credit Commitmentspro rata shares (determined as of the time that the applicable indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent, its sub-agents or any of their respective Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or the Advances, any action taken or omitted therebyby the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document or the consummation, performance or enforcement of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Document or the Advances (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratablepro rata share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or the Required ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b)   With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and

87
