(c)    The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Extension of Credit made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) above shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

Section 2.06    Interest on Loans.

(a)    The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect for Eurodollar Borrowings.

(b)    The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of (i) 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for periods during which the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and (ii) 360 days for other periods) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect for ABR Borrowings.

(c)    Interest on each Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Section 2.07    Alternate Rate of Interest.

Other than in connection with the discontinuance (or publishing thereof) of the LIBO Rate (which circumstance is addressed in the definition of LIBO Rate), in the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Agent shall have determined (i) that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market or (ii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate, the Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give facsimile notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination under clause (i) or (ii) above, until the Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist or the Agent and the Borrower have otherwise agreed on a replacement rate as contemplated in the definition of “LIBO Rate”, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. In the event the Required Lenders notify the Agent that the rates at which dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, the Agent shall notify the Borrower of such notice and until the Required Lenders shall have advised the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be deemed a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Agent hereunder shall be made in good faith and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the Agent, shall, upon request, promptly provide to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination.

Section 2.08    [Reserved].

Section 2.09    Prepayment.

(a)    Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon giving a Prepayment Notice via e-mail or facsimile (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by e-mail or facsimile) to the Agent: (i) before 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business

-24-

Day of prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. Each Prepayment Notice shall be irrevocable, provided that any Prepayment Notice delivered in connection with any refinancing of the Loans with the proceeds of such refinancing or of any incurrence of Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition may be contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing or incurrence or occurrence of such other identifiable event or condition and may be revoked by the Borrower in the event such contingency is not met.

(b)    [Reserved].

(c)    No re-borrowings. Amounts prepaid under the Term Loans pursuant to this Section may not be re-borrowed.

(d)    Application of Prepayments. All prepayments shall be applied to the outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amount of Term Loans held by each Lender. Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.09 to the prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied, first, to reduce outstanding ABR Loans and, second, to reduce outstanding Eurodollar Loans, unless otherwise directed by the Borrower. Each prepayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 8.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan is required to be made under this Section 2.09 prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit with the Agent the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made hereunder until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.09.

Section 2.10    Increased Costs.

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

(A)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement under regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities);

(B)    subject any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(C)    impose on any Lender, or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;

-25-

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Credit Party of making, Converting or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such other Credit Party, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such other Credit Party, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Credit Party, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)    Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s, holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Loans made by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender, or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s, holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender, setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’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 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.11    Change in Legality.

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Agent, such Lender may:

(i)    declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (any Lender delivering such a declaration hereby agreeing to withdraw such declaration promptly upon determining that such event of illegality no longer exists); and

-26-

(ii)    require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be Converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically Converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in subsection (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the Converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the Conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(b)    For purposes of this Section, a notice by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt.

Section 2.12    Pro Rata Treatment.

Except as required under Sections 2.10 and 2.15, each Extension of Credit, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans and each Conversion of any Borrowing of Term Loans, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (or, if such Lender’s Commitment shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their Term Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Extension of Credit to be made hereunder, the Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Extension of Credit to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

Section 2.13    Sharing of Setoffs.

(a)    Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be reduced so as to be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in the Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the

-27-

extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in the Term Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made an Extension of Credit in the amount of such participation.

(b)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to subsection (f) of Article VII, then the Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such provision of this Agreement until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such provision, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Agent in its discretion.

Section 2.14    Payments.

(a)    The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder from an account in the United States not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in dollars to the Agent at its offices at Mizuho Bank, Ltd. Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (Telephone No. (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, Electronic Mail: ▇▇▇_▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇), in immediately available funds. Each such payment shall be made without off-set, deduction or counterclaim; provided that the foregoing shall not constitute a relinquishment or waiver of the Borrower’s rights to any independent claim that the Borrower may have against the Agent or any Lender.

(b)    Whenever any payment hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, if applicable.

(c)    If the Borrower shall default (after giving effect to any applicable grace period under paragraph (c) of Article VI) in the payment of any amount becoming due hereunder (other than the principal amount of any Loan), whether by scheduled maturity, notice of prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time from the Agent pay interest, to the fullest extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum equal to rate of interest applicable to ABR Loans plus 2.00%.

Section 2.15    Taxes.

(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the

-28-

applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)    Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Credit Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by such Credit Party (with a copy to the Agent, unless the Agent is such Credit Party), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Credit Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify a Credit Party for any accrued Indemnified Taxes under this Section 2.15(c) unless such Credit Party notifies the Borrower of such indemnification claim no later than 180 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the Credit Party receives from the relevant Governmental Authority written notice of the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) the date on which such Credit Party has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the Borrower’s obligation to indemnify such Credit Party for such Indemnified Taxes accrued after such earlier date if such Credit Party has given timely notice thereof to the Borrower under this Section 2.15(c); and provided further, that if the Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted giving rise to such claims are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(d)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection (d).

-29-

(e)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower shall deliver to the 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 Agent.

(f)    Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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 Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the 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 (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) 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)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the 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 Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8-BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or

-30-

IRS Form W-8-BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)    executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8-BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, or IRS Form W-8-BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the 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 Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such

-31-

additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii)    Agent and any successor or supplemental Agent shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date such person becomes an Agent under this Agreement two executed copies of (i) if such Agent is a U.S. Person, an IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax or (ii) if such Agent is not a U.S. Person, (A) with respect to amounts received on its own account, an applicable IRS Form W-8ECI and (B) with respect to amounts received on account of any Lender, an executed IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that it is either (i) a “qualified intermediary” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(e)(5) and that it assumes primary withholding responsibility under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code or (ii) a “U.S. branch” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrowers to be treated as a U.S. Person as set forth in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv), in each case for the purpose of permitting Borrower to make payments to such Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States

Each Lender and the Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

-32-

(h)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

Section 2.16    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)    Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, delivers a notice pursuant to Section 2.11 or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or 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 Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.15 or eliminate the illegality under Section 2.11, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous 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. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, delivers a notice pursuant to Section 2.11 or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with subsection (a) above, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the 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 8.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.15) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(A)    the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 8.04(b)(iv);

(B)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 8.05(b)) 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);

(C)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10, illegality pursuant to Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments or, in the case of Section 2.11, eliminate the illegality thereafter;

-33-

(D)    such assignment does not violate Applicable Law; and

(E)    in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting 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.

(a)    [Reserved];

(b)    The Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether (i) the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action under this Agreement or (ii) all Lenders affected thereby have taken or may take any action under this Agreement, except to the extent Section 8.08 expressly requires the consent of such Defaulting Lender to an amendment, waiver or other modification.

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENT

(a)    In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Mizuho is hereby appointed to act as Agent on behalf of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such actions on behalf of such Lender and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms and provisions hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent is hereby expressly

-50-

authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (i) to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender, its proper share of each payment so received; (ii) to give notice on behalf of each Lender to the Borrower of any Event of Default of which the Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (iii) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement as received by the Agent.

(b)    Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by any of them except for its or his or her own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or other instruments or agreements. The Agent may deem and treat the Lender that makes any Extension of Credit as the holder of the indebtedness resulting therefrom for all purposes hereof until it shall have received notice from such Lender, given as provided herein, of the transfer thereof. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. The Agent shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any responsibility to the Borrower or any Subsidiary on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of their respective obligations hereunder or in connection herewith. The Agent may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

(c)    The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall not be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders.

(d)    Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000 (or such lower amount as shall be acceptable to the Borrower) or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any

-51-

appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent.

(e)    With respect to the Extensions of Credit made by it hereunder, Mizuho, in its individual capacity and not as Agent, shall have the same rights, obligations and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not Agent.

(f)    Each Lender agrees (i) to reimburse the Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitment hereunder or, if all of the Commitments shall have been terminated, the amount of its percentage of Loans) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders, in its role as Agent, including counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, which shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower (but without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to make such reimbursement) and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by it under this Agreement to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents. Each Lender agrees that any allocation made in good faith by the Agent of expenses or other amounts referred to in this subsection (f) shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(g)    Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or any Joint Lead Arranger, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or any Joint Lead Arranger, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(h)     No Joint Lead Arrangers shall have any duties, liabilities, obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement other than, if applicable, in such Person’s role as a Credit Party.

(b)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)    Minimum Amounts.

(A)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)    in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the 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).

-54-

(ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans assigned.

(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) or (C) to any Disqualified Institution.

(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person.

(vii)    Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the

-55-

Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this subsection, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.15 and 8.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c)    Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each 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 Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under subsection (f) of Article VII with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

-56-

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 8.08(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.15 and 8.05(b) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16 as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.16 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

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

Section 8.05    Expenses; Indemnity.

(a)    The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel to the Agent, one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or potential conflict of interest, such additional counsel as the Agent determines in good faith is necessary in light of such actual or potential conflict of interest) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement or in connection with any amendment, modification and waiver of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated). The Borrower further agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel to the Credit Parties, one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or potential conflict of interest, such additional counsel as any Credit Party determines in good faith is necessary in light of such actual or potential conflict of interest) incurred by any Credit Party in connection with the enforcement of rights under the Credit Documents and upon an Event of Default (including in respect of workouts and restructurings).

(b)    The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender against any loss, calculated in accordance with the next sentence, or reasonable expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to Convert any Loan hereunder (including as a result of the Borrower’s failure to fulfill any of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV) after notice of such borrowing or Conversion has been given pursuant to Section 2.03, (ii) any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan, or assignment of a Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower required by any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.16) or otherwise made or deemed made, on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (iii) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment (including any notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.09(a) and revoked pursuant to the last sentence of such Section) or otherwise) or (iv) the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, in each such case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred by such Lender in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, or with respect to commitments made or obligations undertaken with third parties, to effect or maintain any Loan hereunder or any part thereof as a Eurodollar Loan. Such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (x) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed (assumed to be the LIBO Rate for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, refinancing or failure to borrow or refinance to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or Convert, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (y) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed or Converted for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be.

(c)    The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent, each Lender, each of their Affiliates and the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of the foregoing (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all

-58-

costs, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for all Indemnitees (unless in the good faith opinion of the Agent or such counsel, it would be inappropriate under applicable standards of legal professional conduct, due to an actual or potential conflict of interest, to have only one counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Extensions of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, including any of the foregoing arising from the negligence, whether sole or concurrent, on the part of any Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) result from any litigation not involving an act or omission of the Borrower brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (unless such litigation relates to claims against the Agent, acting in such capacity); provided, further, that the Borrower agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought under the indemnification provisions of this subsection (c) (whether or not any Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, does not involve any payment of money or other value by any Indemnitee or any injunctive relief or factual findings or stipulations binding on any Indemnitee and contains an unconditional release of each Indemnitee that could seek such indemnification under this subsection (c). It is understood that, with respect to any particular investigation, litigation or other proceeding subject to indemnification hereunder, the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse, or indemnify and hold harmless for, the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (in addition to one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) for all Indemnitees that are the subject of such investigation, litigation or other proceeding, unless representation of all such Indemnitees in such matter by a single counsel would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest, in which case the Borrower shall be required to reimburse, and indemnify and hold harmless for, the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of such additional counsel as any Indemnitee determines in good faith are necessary in light of such actual or potential conflict of interest.

(d)    Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under subsection (c) above, neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall have any liability for any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages resulting from this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of any Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

-59-

(e)    The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent, any Lender. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on written demand therefor.

(f)    A certificate of any Lender or the Agent setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender or such Agent is entitled to receive pursuant to subsection (b) above and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g)    The provisions of this Section shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 8.06    Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 8.07    Applicable Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 8.08    Waivers; Amendment and Releases.

(a)    No failure or delay of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or any Subsidiary in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

-60-

(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on, any Loan or date for the payment of any fee, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby (other than waivers of the default rate of interest), (ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.12, Section 2.13, the provisions of this Section or the definition of the “Required Lenders”, or amend, modify or waive any condition set forth in Article IV, in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.21 without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Lenders; provided further, however, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent (including, without limitation under Section 2.21) without the prior written consent of the Agent. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section, and any consent by any Lender, the Agent pursuant to this Section shall bind any assignee of its rights and interests hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any waiver, amendment or modification hereunder, except that the consent of such Defaulting Lender shall be required for any waiver, amendment or modification that effects any change described in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of this subsection (b), in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) to the extent such Defaulting Lender is affected thereby.

(c)    The Borrower or the Agent shall have the right to replace all, but not less than all, Non-Consenting Lenders (so long as all Non-Consenting Lenders are so replaced) with one or more Eligible Assignees so long as at the time of such replacement each such Eligible Assignee consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination. Each Lender agrees that, if Borrower or Agent elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase; provided that the failure of any such Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

All Indebtedness (such term and other capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning specified in the Credit Agreement to which this Schedule 5.12 is attached) incurred by the Borrower, other than the Senior Obligations (as defined below), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions, which shall be incorporated in a written agreement (each, a “Subordination Agreement”) between the Borrower and each Person (or an agent acting on behalf of such Person) (such Person, a “Subordinated Lender”) to which any such Indebtedness is owed.

SECTION 1. Definitions. (a) As used in this Schedule 5.12, the terms set forth below shall have the respective meanings provided below:

“Credit Agreement” shall mean the Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2018, among Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC, the various financial institutions from time to time party thereto (the “Senior Lenders”), and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as Agent, together with the documents related thereto (including, without limitation, the Security Documents), as same may be amended, modified, extended, renewed, restated or supplemented from time to time, and including any agreement extending the maturity of, refinancing or restructuring all or any portion of, or increasing the principal amount of, the indebtedness under such agreement or of any successor agreements.

“Senior Obligations” shall have the meaning given to the term “Obligations” in the Credit Agreement (and shall include, without limitation, all interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding at the rate provided in the governing documentation, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding).

“Subordinated Obligations” shall mean all obligations of the Borrower to the Subordinated Lender in respect of loans, advances or similar extensions of credit, including in respect of principal, premium (if any), interest, fees, expense and reimbursement obligations, indemnification obligations and other amounts payable in respect thereof.

SECTION 2. Subordination. (a) The Subordinated Lender hereby agrees that all its right, title and interest in and to the Subordinated Obligations shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the rights of the Senior Lenders in respect of the Senior Obligations, including the payment of principal, premium (if any), interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), fees, expense and reimbursement obligations indemnification obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, or in respect thereof.

(b) The Borrower and the Subordinated Lender hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any agreement governing or evidencing Subordinated Obligations, no payment (whether directly, by purchase, redemption or exercise of any rights of setoff or otherwise and whether mandatory or voluntary) in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, and whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made by or on behalf of the Borrower or received, accepted or demanded, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of the Subordinated Lender at any time prior to the payment in full in cash of all the Senior Obligations.

Schedule 5.12

(c) Upon any distribution of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or receivership proceedings or otherwise, or upon any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Borrower, or otherwise:

(i) the Senior Lenders shall first be entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations (whenever arising) before the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations of the Borrower, whether of principal, interest or otherwise; and

(ii) any payment by, or on behalf of, or distribution of the assets of; the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, to which the Subordinated Lender would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 1 shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations.

The Subordinated Lender agrees not to ask, demand, ▇▇▇ for or take or receive from the Borrower in cash, securities or other property or by setoff, purchase or redemption (including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral), payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations to the extent prohibited by the preceding sentence, and agrees that in connection with any proceeding involving the Borrower under any bankruptcy, insolvency reorganization, arrangement, receivership or similar law (i) the Agent is irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of the Subordinated Lender or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to in the preceding sentence and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including, without limitation, voting the Subordinated Obligations and enforcing any security interest or other lien securing payment of the Subordinated Obligation) as the Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Senior Lenders and (ii) the Subordinated Lender shall duly and promptly take such action as the Collateral Agent, if any, may request to (A) collect amounts in respect of the Subordinated Obligations for the account of the Senior Lenders and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, (B) execute and deliver to such Collateral Agent such irrevocable powers of attorney, assignments or other instruments as such Collateral Agent may request in order to enable such Collateral Agent to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security interests and other liens securing payment of, the Subordinated Obligations and (C) collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinated Obligations. A copy of this Subordination Agreement may be filed with any court as evidence of the Senior Lenders’ right, power and authority thereunder.

(d) In the event that any payment by, or on behalf of, or distribution of the assets of, the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, and whether directly, by purchase, redemption, exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise, shall be received by or on behalf of the Subordinated Lender or any Affiliate thereof at a time when such payment is prohibited by this Subordination Agreement, such payment or distribution shall be held by the Subordinated Lender in trust (segregated from other property of the Subordinated Lender) for the benefit of, and shall forthwith be paid over to, the Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations.

Schedule 5.12

(e) Subject to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations, the Subordinated Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Lenders to receive payments or distributions in cash, securities or other property of the Borrower to the Senior Obligations until all amounts owing on the Senior Obligations shall be indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and, as between and among the Borrower, its creditors (other than the Senior Lenders) and the Subordinated Lender, no such payment or distribution made to the Senior Lenders by virtue of this Subordination Agreement that otherwise would have been made to the Subordinated Lender shall be deemed to be a payment by the Borrower on account of the Subordinated Obligations, it being understood that the provisions of this paragraph (e) are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Subordinated Lender and the Senior Lenders.

(f) Without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Borrower shall not give, or permit to be given, and the Subordinated Lender shall not receive, accept or demand, (i) any security of any nature whatsoever for the Subordinated Obligations on any property or assets, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or (ii) any guarantee, of any nature whatsoever, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, of the Subordinated Obligations other than any guarantee subordinated to the Senior Obligations on terms substantially identical to (and no less favorable in any significant respect to the Senior Lender than) those hereof. The Subordinated Lender agrees that all the proceeds of any such security or guarantee shall be subject to the provisions hereof with respect to payments and other distributions in respect of the Subordinated Obligations.

(g) Any and all instruments or records now or hereafter creating or evidencing the Subordinated Obligations, whether upon refunding, extension, renewal, refinancing, replacement or otherwise, shall contain the following legend:

“Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the principal of nor the interest on, nor any other amounts payable in respect of, the indebtedness created or evidenced by this instrument or record shall become due or be paid or payable, except to the extent permitted under the Subordination Agreement, dated [        ], [    ] 20[    ], among, inter alia, [                    ] and [                    ], which Subordination Agreement is incorporated herein with the same effect as if fully set forth herein.”

(h) The Subordinated Lender agrees that, except for claims submitted in any proceeding contemplated by Section 2(c) hereof, it will not take any action to cause the Subordinated Obligations to become payable prior to their scheduled maturity or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to enforce the Subordinated Obligations if the payment of such Subordinated Obligation is then prohibited by this Subordination Agreement, and the Subordinated Lender further agrees not to file, or to join with any other creditors of the Borrower in filing, any petition commencing any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or receivership proceeding or any assignment for the benefit of creditors against or in respect of the Borrower or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Borrower (provided, that this prohibition shall in no event be construed so as to limit the Subordinated Lender’s right to cause the Subordinated Obligations to become payable prior to their scheduled maturity if all the outstanding Loans in respect of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement have been declared due and payable prior to their scheduled maturity dates).

Schedule 5.12

SECTION 3. Waivers and Consents. (a) The Subordinated Lender waives the right to compel that the Collateral or any other assets of property of the Borrower or the assets of property of any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person be applied in any particular order to discharge the Senior Obligations. The Subordinated Lender expressly waives the right to require any Senior Lender to proceed against the Borrower, the Collateral or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person, or to pursue any other remedy in any Senior Lender’s power which the Subordinated Lender cannot pursue and which would lighten the Subordinated Lender’s burden, notwithstanding that the failure of a Senior Lender to do so may thereby prejudice the Subordinated Lender. The Subordinated Lender agrees that it shall not be discharged, exonerated or have its obligations hereunder to a Senior Lender reduced (i) by any Senior Lender’s delay in proceeding against or enforcing any remedy against the Borrower, the Collateral or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person; (ii) by any Senior Lender releasing the Borrower, the Collateral or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person from all or any part of the Senior Obligations; or (iii) by the discharge of the Borrower, the Collateral or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person by an operation of law or otherwise, with or without the intervention or omission of a Senior Lender, except in each case unless all Senior Obligations due to such Senior Lender have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Any Senior Lender’s vote to accept or reject any plan of reorganization relating to the Borrower, the Collateral, or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person, or any Senior Lender’s receipt on account of all or part of the Senior Obligations of any cash, securities or other property distributed in any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency case, shall not discharge, exonerate, or reduce the obligations of the Subordinated Lender hereunder to any Senior Lender, except in each case unless all Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

(b) The Subordinated Lender waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by any Senior Lender, even though that election of remedies, including, without limitation, any nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Senior Obligations, has impaired the value of the Subordinated Lender’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, or contribution against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person. The Subordinated Lender expressly waives any rights or defenses it may have by reason of protection afforded to the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person with respect to the Senior Obligations pursuant to any anti-deficiency laws or other laws of similar import which limit or discharge the principal debtor’s indebtedness upon judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of real property or personal property Collateral for the Senior Obligations.

(c) The Subordinated Lender agrees that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against it, and without notice to or further assent by it, any demand for payment of the Senior Obligations made by a Senior Lender may be rescinded in whole or in part by such Senior Lender, and any Senior Obligation may be continued, and the Senior Obligations, or the liability of the Borrower or any other guarantor or any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any Collateral or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released by a Senior Lender, in each case without notice to or further assent by the Subordinated Lender, which will remain bound under this Subordination Agreement and without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination and other agreements provided for herein.

(d) The Subordinated Lender waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Senior Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Senior Lenders upon this Subordination Agreement. The Senior Obligations, and any of them, shall be deemed

Schedule 5.12

conclusively to have been created, contracted or incurred and the consent given to create the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Obligations in reliance upon this Subordination Agreement, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Senior Lenders shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon this Subordination Agreement. The Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees that each Senior Lender has relied upon the subordination and other agreements provided for herein in consenting to the Subordinated Obligations. The Subordinated Lender waives notice of or proof of reliance on this Subordination Agreement and protest, demand for payment and notice of default.

SECTION 4. Transfers. The Subordinated Lender shall not sell, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of, in whole or in part, all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations or any interest therein to any other Person (a “Transferee”) or create, incur or suffer to exist any security interest, Lien, charge or other encumbrance whatsoever upon all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations or any interest therein in favor of any Transferee unless (i) such action is made expressly subject to this Subordination Agreement, (ii) the Transferee is reasonably acceptable to the Agent and (iii) the Transferee expressly acknowledges to the Agent, by a writing in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, the subordination and other agreements provided for herein and in such writing agrees to be bound by all of the terms of this Subordination Agreement, including without limitation this Section 4, as if such Person were the Subordinated Lender.

SECTION 5. Senior Obligations Unconditional. All rights and interests of the Senior Lenders hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Subordinated Lender and the Borrower hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Senior Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of, or consent to departure from, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Lien in any Collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of, or consent to departure from, any guarantee of any of the Senior Obligations; or

(d) any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower in respect of the Senior Obligations, or of the Subordinated Lender or the Borrower in respect of this Subordination Agreement.

SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties. The Subordinated Lender represents and warrants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Lenders that:

(a) It has the power and authority and the legal right to execute and deliver and to perform its obligations under this Subordination Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this Subordination Agreement.

(b) This Subordination Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Subordinated Lender and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subordinated Lender, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Schedule 5.12

(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Subordination Agreement will not violate any provision of any requirement of law applicable to the Subordinated Lender or of any contractual obligation of the Subordinated Lender.

(d) No consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of, any arbitrator or regulatory body or Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, and no consent of any other Person, is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Subordination Agreement.

SECTION 7. Waiver of Claims. (a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Subordinated Lender waives any claim it might have against any Senior Lender with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of any Senior Lender or its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Credit Documents or any other document creating or governing any Senior Obligations or any transaction relating to the Collateral. Neither the Senior Lenders nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or any guarantee or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Borrower or the Subordinated Lender or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral, or any part thereof, or any such guarantee.

(b) The Subordinated Lender, for itself and on behalf of its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all now existing or hereafter arising rights it may have to require any Senior Lender to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ assets for the benefit of the Subordinated Lender, or to otherwise direct the timing, order or manner of any sale, collection or other enforcement of the Collateral or enforcement of the Credit Documents. The Senior Lenders are under no duty or obligation, and the Subordinated Lender hereby waives any right it may have to compel the Senior Lenders, to pursue any guarantor or other Person who may be liable for the Senior Obligations, or to enforce any Lien or security interest in any Collateral.

(c) The Subordinated Lender hereby waives and releases all rights which a guarantor or surety with respect to the Senior Obligations could exercise.

(d) The Subordinated Lender hereby waives any duty on the part of the Senior Lenders to disclose to it any fact known or hereafter known by any Senior Lender relating to the operation or financial condition of the Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations, or their respective businesses. The Subordinated Lender enters into this Subordination Agreement based solely upon its independent knowledge of the Borrower’s results of operations, financial condition and business and the Subordinated Lender assumes full responsibility for obtaining any further or future information with respect to the Borrower or its results of operations, financial condition or business.

SECTION 8. Further Assurances. The Subordinated Lender and the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense and at any time from time to time, upon the written request of the Agent, will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Agent reasonably may request for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Subordination Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 9. Expenses. (a) The Borrower will pay or reimburse the Senior Lenders, upon demand, for all their costs and expenses in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Subordination Agreement, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Schedule 5.12

(b) The Borrower will pay, indemnify, and hold the Senior Lenders harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions (whether sounding in contract, tort or on any other ground), judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the failure of the Borrower or the Subordinated Lender to perform any of its obligations arising out of or relating to this Subordination Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 10. Provisions Define Relative Rights. This Subordination Agreement is intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Senior Lenders on the one hand and the applicable Subordinated Lender and the Borrower on the other, and no other Person shall have any right, benefit or other interest under this Subordination Agreement.

SECTION 11. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Subordination Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the Senior Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

SECTION 12. Bankruptcy. This Subordination Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the filing of any petition by or against the Borrower or any guarantor under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or proceeding under similar law and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to the Borrower or any guarantor shall be deemed to apply to the trustee for the Borrower or such guarantor and any such entity as a debtor-in-possession. This Subordination Agreement shall constitute a “subordination agreement” for the purposes of Section 510(a) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms in any other bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or proceeding under similar law.
