The Administrative Agent shall promptly disburse such proceeds to the Borrower.

All voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan shall be applied pro rata to the then remaining scheduled payments of principal due with respect thereto (including, without limitation, the payment due on the maturity thereof).

(b) Mandatory Prepayment if Commitment Exceeded. If at any time the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect, Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess, together with accrued (but unpaid) interest thereon.

(d) Lenders’ Right to Decline Certain Mandatory Prepayments. Each Lender has the right to decline requiring Borrower to pay to it the mandatory prepayment(s) described in Sections 2.02(c) above. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such prepayment of the Term Loan, the amount of the prepayment that is available to prepay the Term Loan (the “Prepayment Amount”) shall be deposited in a cash collateral Account on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, pending application of such amount on the date on which such prepayment shall be made (the “Prepayment Date”), which date shall be ten (10) Business Days after the date of such receipt. Any Lender declining such prepayment (a “Declining Lender”) shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the Prepayment Date. On the Prepayment Date, an amount equal to that portion of the Prepayment Amount accepted by the Term Loan Lenders other than the Declining Lenders (such Lenders being the “Accepting Lenders”) to prepay Term Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders shall be withdrawn from the applicable cash collateral account and applied ratably to prepay Term Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders in the manner described in the first paragraph of Section 2.04(b), for such prepayment.

SECTION 3

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto (“Taxes”), excluding the following (collectively, “Excluded Taxes”): (i) franchise taxes and Taxes imposed or measured by Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s (as the case may be) net income, that are imposed on it by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) (A) under the Laws of which Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) is organized or maintains a lending office, or (B) with which the Administrative Agent or such Lender otherwise has a present or former connection (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, any Loan Document); (ii) any branch profits Tax imposed by the United States or any similar Tax imposed by another jurisdiction in which Borrower is located; (iii) any taxes that are attributable to Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s failure or inability to comply with Section 3.01(e) below; (iv) United States withholding Taxes required to be imposed on amounts payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the Laws in force at the time Administrative Agent or such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except, if Lender designates a new Lending Office or becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an assignment, withholding Taxes shall not be Excluded Taxes to the extent that such Taxes were not Excluded Taxes with respect to Lender or its assignor, as the case may be, immediately before such designation of a new Lending Office or assignment; (v) United States withholding taxes imposed by FATCA; and (vi) any penalties, interest, costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) imposed on Administrative Agent or any Lender arising from the assertion by any Governmental Authority that Administrative Agent or such Lender did not properly withhold any Tax. If Borrower is required by any Law to deduct any Taxes other than Excluded Taxes (“Indemnified Taxes”) from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Lender, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions of Indemnified Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) Borrower shall make such deductions, (C) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (D) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent or such Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, excise, court, or documentary Taxes, charges or similar levies, which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document, other than Taxes that are imposed with respect to an assignment and that are imposed as a result of a pre-existing connection between the Administrative Agent or Lender and the jurisdiction imposing the Tax (such Taxes that Borrower agrees to pay hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) If Borrower shall be required by the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Lender, Borrower shall also pay to Administrative Agent (for payment to the applicable Lender), at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that such Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in United States (federal and state) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income, and taking into account any foreign tax credits available under Sections 901 through 903 of the Code or similar credit or exemption under a similar state law attributable to Borrower’s payment of such Indemnified Taxes) such Lender would have received if such deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) had not been made. A certificate that such Lender delivers to Borrower as to any such additional amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Without duplication of any amounts payable under clauses (a), (b) or (c) above, Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by Administrative Agent and/or such Lender; and (ii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that (A) Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any interest or penalties described in clause (ii) above (and such interest and penalties shall be considered Excluded Taxes) to the extent the Administrative Agent or such Lender (1) had actual knowledge of the existence of the Tax, interest, or expense, the non-payment of which gave rise to such interest or penalties, and (2) failed to give Borrower notice of such Tax, interest or expense within ten (10) Business Days after the Administrative Agent or such Lender received actual knowledge of the existence thereof; and (B) nothing contained in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to imply any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to provide Borrower with the notice of any such Tax, penalty, interest or expense. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Lender makes a demand therefor.

(e) Each Lender, upon the effectiveness of any assignment or designation of a new Lending Office, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested in writing by Borrower, shall provide Borrower with (i) if such Lender is not a “United States Person” as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (“U.S. Person”) (a “Non-U.S. Lender”), a complete and properly executed IRS Form ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇-▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇ or W-8IMY (including all required accompanying information), as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS (including a United States taxpayer identification number), certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to benefits under an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding Tax on payments of interest, certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is eligible for the “portfolio interest exemption” or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) if Lender is a U.S. Person, an IRS Form W-9 or any successor form prescribed by the IRS. If a payment made by Borrower to Lender would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if 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 Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its 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. In addition, each Lender will (A) take all actions reasonably requested in good faith by Borrower in writing that are consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions to claim any available reductions or exemptions from Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and (B) otherwise cooperate with Borrower to minimize any amounts payable by Borrower under this Section 3.01; provided that, in each case, any out-of-pocket cost relating directly to such action or cooperation requested by Borrower shall be borne by Borrower, and no Lender shall be required to take any action that it determines in its sole good faith discretion may be adverse in any non de minimis respect to it and not indemnified to its satisfaction.

(f) 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 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), 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 paragraph (f) (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 paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) 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.

SECTION 9

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01. Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby reaffirms (subject to Section 9.09) its appointment and designation of the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

9.02. Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

9.03. Liability of Administrative Agent. No Administrative Agent-Related Person shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Administrative Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent.

(a) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Requisite Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, if required hereunder, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of Lenders. Where this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless Requisite Lenders otherwise determine, and in all other instances, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the consent or a vote of Lenders.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender.

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent, upon payment of the amount certified by Borrower as the full and final payment of all principal, interest, fees and other charges outstanding under this Agreement, to execute with and in favor of Borrower a termination letter that, inter alia, terminates Borrower’s obligation to observe any or all of the covenants in Sections 3, 6 and 7 hereof.

9.05. Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Administrative Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by Requisite Lenders in accordance with Section 8; provided, however, that unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such direction, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.

9.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Administrative Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of Borrower and their Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Administrative Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Administrative Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender, including any Lender by assignment, represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent herein, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of any Administrative Agent-Related Person.

9.07. Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Administrative Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares, and hold harmless each Administrative Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Administrative Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section; provided further that the foregoing shall not require any Lender to indemnify any Administrative Agent-Related Person to the extent such Administrative Agent-Related Person was not acting in the capacity of, or on behalf of, the Administrative Agent. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by 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 Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent.

9.08. Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Opus and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Opus were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of Lenders. Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Opus or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Opus shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may Opus the same as though it were not Administrative Agent.

9.09. Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may, and at the request of Requisite Lenders shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Lenders. If Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a successor administrative agent for Lenders which successor administrative agent shall be approved by Borrower. If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders and Borrower and upon approval of Borrower (other than at any time as there exists an Event of Default) which will not be unreasonably withheld, a successor administrative agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.03 and 10.11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent (whether due to absence of Borrower approval or otherwise) by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

SECTION 10

MISCELLANEOUS

10.01. Amendments; Consents. No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, no consent to any departure by Borrower or any Subsidiary therefrom and no release of collateral in which Lender has a security interest prior to payment in full of the Obligations shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Requisite Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall: (a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; (b) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment (but excluding the delay or waiver of any mandatory prepayment) of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them), including the Maturity Date, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be necessary (i) to amend the definition of “Default Rate” (so long as such amendment does not result in the Default Rate being lower than the interest rate then applicable to Loans) or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or (ii) to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein); (d) change the provisions requiring pro rata payments to the Lenders set forth herein without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (e) change any provision of this Section or the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; (f) release the Borrower or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from this Agreement, any Guaranty or release any material Security Document to which any such Person is a party without the written consent of each Lender, except to the extent such Person is the subject of a Disposition permitted by the provisions of this Agreement or such Security Document (in which cases such release may be made by Administrative Agent acting alone); or (g) release all or substantially all of the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender except with respect to Dispositions and releases of Collateral permitted or required hereunder or as provided in the other Loan Documents (in which case such release may be made by Administrative Agent acting alone). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

10.02. Transmission and Effectiveness of Communications and Signatures.

(a) Modes of Delivery. Except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document, notices, requests, demands, directions, agreements and documents delivered in connection with the Loan Documents (collectively, “communications”) shall be transmitted by Requisite Notice to the number and address set forth on Schedule 10.02, may be delivered by the following modes of delivery, and shall be effective as follows:

Mode of Delivery		Effective on earlier of actual receipt and:
Courier:		Scheduled delivery date
Facsimile:		When transmission in legible form complete
Mail:		Fourth Business Day after deposit in U.S. mail first class postage pre-paid
Personal delivery:		When received
Telephone:		When conversation completed

provided, however, that communications delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 2 must be in writing and shall not be effective until actually received by Lender.

(b) Reliance by Lender. Lender shall be entitled to rely and act on any communications purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Loan Party even if (i) such communications (A) were not made in a manner specified herein, (B) were incomplete or (C) were not preceded or followed by any other notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any subsequent related communications provided for herein. Borrower shall indemnify Lender from any loss, cost, expense or liability as a result of relying on any communications permitted herein.

(c) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Documents and agreements delivered from time to time in connection with the Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or electronic transmission. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as hardcopies with manual signatures. Any party may also request that any such documents and signature be confirmed by a manually-signed hardcopy thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver any such manually-signed hardcopy shall not affect the effectiveness of any facsimile documents or signatures.

10.03. Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents, and the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or modification to, any Loan Documents, and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the performance by Lender of collateral field audits and inspections pursuant to Section 6.08), including all reasonable Attorney Costs, and (b) to pay or reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any refinancing, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization), collection and enforcement or attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights under any Loan Documents, and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, or in connection with any refinancing, or restructuring of any such documents in the nature of a “workout” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, including Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by Lender. Such costs and expenses shall also include administrative costs of Lender reasonably attributable to the administration of the Loan Documents. Any amount payable by Borrower under this Section shall bear interest from the tenth day following the date of demand for payment at the Default Rate, unless waived by Lender. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of all other Obligations and the termination of all Commitments.

10.04. Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender. Any Lender may from time to time sell all or any portion of the Loans, the Commitments and the Loan Documents (or any interest therein) and may grant participations in the Loans, provided, that, with respect to any participation (but not with respect to any assignment) (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations (including, without limitation, voting rights) under this Agreement and (D) 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, waiver or other modification set forth in clauses (a) through (g) of Section 10.01 that affects such Participant; provided, however that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) Borrower must consent to any such sale, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and (ii) such assignee or participant is not a competitor of the Borrower; provided, further, that no consent from Borrower shall be required for any assignment by one Lender to any other Lender. Any Person to whom Lender sells all or any portion of the Loans or Commitments shall be deemed to be a “Lender” for purposes hereof. Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender’s efforts to do any of the foregoing and to execute all documents reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith.

(b) Certain Pledges. 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 Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Lender as a party hereto.

10.05. Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender or any assignee or participant of Lender or any Affiliate thereof (each, a “Proceeding Party”) provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Proceeding Party is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being waived by Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to proceed directly, by right of set-off, banker’s lien, or otherwise, against any assets of any Loan Party and their Subsidiaries which may be in the possession of such Proceeding Party (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Proceeding Party to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) and apply such assets against the Obligations, irrespective of whether such Proceeding Party shall have made any demand therefor and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.06. Sharing of Payments. Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against any Loan Party or otherwise, receives payment on account of the Outstanding Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender receives in payment on account of the Outstanding Obligations held by such other Lender, then, subject to applicable Laws: (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from the other Lender a participation in the Outstanding Obligations held by the other Lender and shall pay to the other Lender a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Outstanding Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Outstanding Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender’s share of the Outstanding Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by any Loan Party or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of any Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Outstanding Obligations pursuant to this Section shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Outstanding Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Outstanding Obligations purchased. Each Loan Party expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased.

10.07. No Setoff. As to any and all funds, securities or other assets of any Loan Party which are now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent or any Lender as collateral pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any of the Obligations thereunder (including, without limitation, all amounts in any deposit account, securities account or other similar account) (collectively the “Collateral Assets”), Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they shall not exercise any right of setoff or recoupment against nor shall they assert any security interest in the Collateral Assets in connection with any other obligation owed to Administrative Agent or any Lender which is unrelated to this Agreement or the Loan Documents, except for: (i) recovery for any items deposited with Administrative Agent or any Lender and returned unpaid or as to which claims have been asserted as to breach of transfer or presentment warranties, (ii) overdrafts on any account which generated the funds which constitute part of the Collateral Assets, (iii) automated clearing house entries, and (iv) Administrative Agent or any Lender's usual and customary fees for services rendered in connection with the assets or bank accounts which constitute the Collateral Assets.

10.08. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) No failure by Lender to exercise, and no delay by Lender in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(b) The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein or therein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. Any decision by Lender not to require payment of any interest (including interest at the Default Rate), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of Lender’s right to require full payment thereof, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion.

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

10.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.11. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and any letter agreements referred to herein, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of Lender in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

10.12. Nature of Lender’s Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by Lender pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make any Lender a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower. Each Lender’s obligation to make its portion of the Loans pursuant hereto is several and not joint or joint and several, and is conditioned upon the performance by all other Lenders of their obligations to make the Loans. A default by any Lender will not increase the Pro Rata Share attributable to any other Lender.

10.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any Loan Document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery thereof but shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement and all Commitments and the payment in full in cash of all Obligations. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent and each Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any Lender or on its behalf.

10.14. Indemnity by Borrower. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (other than another indemnitee) relating directly or indirectly to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any its officers or directors; (b) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, any predecessor loan documents (including the Original Credit Agreement), the Commitments, the use or contemplated use of the proceeds of any Loan or any collateral given to secure the Obligations, or the relationship of Borrower and the Indemnitees under this Agreement; (c) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in subsection (a) or (b) above; and (d) all liabilities, claims, actions, loss, damages, including, without limitation, foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages, costs and expenses (including sums paid in settlement of claims and all consultant, expert and legal fees and expenses of Indemnitees' counsel) directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from any Hazardous Substance being present at any time in or around any part of the property of Borrower or any Subsidiary, or in the soil, groundwater or soil vapor on or under such property, including those incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal or restoration work, or any resulting damages or injuries to the person or property of any third parties or to any natural resources; and (e) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including Attorney Costs) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all cases, whether or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, including those liabilities caused by an Indemnitee’s own negligence (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or for any loss asserted against it by another Indemnitee. This Section 10.14 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

10.15. Nonliability of Lender.

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) Any inspections of any property of Borrower made by or through any Lender are for purposes of administration of the Loan Documents only, and Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of Borrower);

(b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to any Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, such Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by such Lender;

(c) The relationship between Borrower and each Lender is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender; no Lender shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or its Affiliates; no Lender undertakes or assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their property or the operations of Borrower or its Affiliates; Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon its or their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by such Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of such Lender and neither Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and

(d) No Lender shall be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.

10.16. No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders, and Administrative Agent and each Lender’s successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.

10.17. Severability. Any provision of the Loan Documents that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.18. Confidentiality.
