The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.17. Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied to the remaining installments thereof as directed by the Borrower (it being understood and agreed that if the Borrower does not so direct at the time of such prepayment, such prepayment shall be applied against the scheduled repayments of Term Loans and, Incremental Term Loans and Other Term

time when any Eurodollar Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in this Section 2.16(a), the Borrower may either (i) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower receives any such demand from such Lender or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan is then outstanding, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan into an ABR Loan, subject to the requirements of Section 2.17 to the extent applicable.

(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that a Change in Law regarding capital adequacy, liquidity or any change therein or in its interpretation thereof with which such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) is required to comply, in each case after the date hereof, would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or the corporation controlling such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of any corporation controlling such Lender with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder, then from time to time upon written demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 2.19), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction within ten days after receipt of such demand.

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided that the Borrower shall have received at least ten days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable ten days from receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make any payments to Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.16(c) to the extent that the costs described in this Section 2.16(c) are then reflected or provided for in the Statutory Rate.

(d) Subject to Section 2.19(a), failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

(e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.16, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.16(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(a), (b), (c) or (d).

ARTICLE VIII

Administrative Agent

SECTION 8.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Royal Bank of Canada to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of, or any obligations under, any of such provisions except for its consent rights set forth in Section 8.06.

-122-

SECTION 8.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or outstanding Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.03 or otherwise hereunder.

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

SECTION 8.10 Release of Collateral and Guarantee. The Lenders (including in their capacities as Hedge Banks and Cash Management Banks) and each Issuing Bank irrevocably agree and authorize the Administrative Agent:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full in cash of all Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than to the extent a claim has been made therefor, contingent indemnification and contingent expense reimbursement obligations and any Obligations in respect of Secured Hedge Agreements or Cash Management Obligations unless provided otherwise under the terms of any such Secured Hedge Agreements or Cash Management Documents) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (unless the Letters of Credit in the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto have been Cash Collateralized up to 105% of such Outstanding Amounts or if a backstop letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank is in place) (the date upon which the conditions in this Section 8.10(a)(i) shall have been satisfied, the “Termination Date”), (ii) upon any permitted sale, lease, transfer or other Disposition of any item of Collateral of any Loan Party in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, as a result of the sale, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, of the Loan Party that owns such Collateral), (iii) subject to Section 9.01,9.02, if the release

-126-

privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.14 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the Agents may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.18, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agents against, within ten days after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents) incurred by or asserted against the Agents as a result of the failure of the Agents to properly withhold any Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agents of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agents shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agents to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Agents under this Section 8.14. The agreements in this Section 8.14 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agents, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

SECTION 8.15 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent Party (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent Party from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities to the extent incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent Party of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent resulting from such Agent Party’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 8.15. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 8.15 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including costs of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, if any. The undertaking in this Section 8.15 shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.16 Cash Management Obligations; Secured Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Security Document, no Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 7.03, any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such

-129-

the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents 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 any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.21 with respect to any Incremental Amendment or Section 2.22 with respect to any Refinancing Amendment, neither this Agreement, any Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Advance or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees or premiums payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that any change to the definition of “Total Leverage Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction of interest or fees), provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.07(b);

(iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled amortization payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.102.06 or the applicable Refinancing Amendment, or the reimbursement date with respect to any L/C Advance, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(iv) change Section 2.20(b) or (c)2.13 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(vi) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be);

-132-

(vii) release all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement without the written consent of each Lender; or

(viii) release or subordinate all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender;

provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. This Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended, if such amendment is not objected to in writing by the Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof, by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or actual or perceived illegality or unenforceability of any provision in any jurisdiction or with respect to any Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.02 to the contrary, (1) technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary to integrate any Incremental Facilities or any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, (2) the Fee Letter may be amended or modified, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto and (3) without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent or any collateral agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Laws or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document. The Administrative Agent shall make available to the Lenders copies of each amendment or other modification to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Lead Arrangers may amend this Agreement as necessary without the consent of any other Person to comply with the “market flex” provisions in the Fee Letter and (ii) the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders shall be required if any amendment, modification or waiver has the effect of (1) requiring the Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans when not otherwise required to do so under the Loan Documents or (2) modifying the amount of the Swingline Sublimit or the Letter of Credit Commitment.

(c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders (and, to the extent any Proposed Change requires the consent of Lenders holding Loans of any Class, the consent of a Majority in Interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of such Class) to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or in respect of any applicable Class

-133-

Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans and unused Commitments at such time (or, in the case of a payment to an Issuing Bank, its share of the aggregate Revolving Exposures only). The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02(f) (which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Lenders’ obligations under this paragraph (c)).

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any direct or actual damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such direct or actual damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or a material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five Business Days after written demand therefor; provided, however, that any Indemnitee shall promptly refund an indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that there is a final judicial determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section

9.03. The agreements in this Section 9.03 shall survive the resignation of any Agent, the replacement of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

(f) The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with its consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in such Proceedings, the Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any Indemnified Liabilities in accordance with the foregoing clause (ab). The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement or consent to the entry of any judgment of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnitee from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings, (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and (iii) contains customary confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions.

(g) In the event that an Indemnitee is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in which such Indemnitee is not named as a defendant, the Borrower shall reimburse such Indemnitee for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnitee’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its legal counsel.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the provisions of the Commitment Letter that survive the execution of this Agreement by their terms and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Fee Letter and Section 10 of the Commitment Letter survive the Effective Date and the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or with respect to any Loan Party shall, as to such jurisdiction or such Loan Party, as the case may be, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction or with respect to a particular Loan Party shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction or with respect to any other Loan Party. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.07, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates 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, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, any such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower then due and owing under this Agreement held by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although (a) such obligations may be contingent or unmatured and (b) such obligations are owed to a branch or office of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (1) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (2) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender and applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section 9.08. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
