Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Certain Funds Purposes have been achieved without the making of any Advances and (ii) the time immediately after a Mandatory Cancellation Event occurs; provided that in any event the Commitments shall terminate in full on the earlier of the last day of the Certain Funds Period and the Funding Date after the proceeds of the Advances have been made available to the Borrower.

2.8	[Reserved].

2.9	Defaulting Banks.

(a)

If a Bank becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Bank, then any amounts paid by the Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Bank under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Bank, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.9(c)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Banks hereunder other than Defaulting Banks, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, third to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Banks hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fourth to pay principal then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Banks hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, fifth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due

-29-

and payable to the Non-Defaulting Banks, and sixth after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Bank or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

(b)

No Commitment of any Bank shall be increased or, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.9(a), otherwise affected, and performance by the Borrower of its obligations shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of Section 2.9(a). The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Bank under Section 2.9(a) are in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank.

(c)

If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their reasonable determination that a Defaulting Bank or a Potential Defaulting Bank should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank or a Potential Defaulting Bank, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be funded and held on a pro rata basis by the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitments and Advances, whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank or Potential Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank or Potential Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank or Potential Defaulting Bank.

ARTICLE 3

Payments and Fees

3.1	Principal and Interest.

(a)

Interest shall be payable on the outstanding daily unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date thereof until payment in full is made and shall accrue and be payable at the rates set forth herein before and after default, before and after maturity, before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, with interest on overdue interest to bear interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(b)

Interest accrued on each Base Rate Advance shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December commencing on the first such date to occur after the Funding Date. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.7, the unpaid principal amount of any Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Daily Margin for such Base Rate Advance for each day during the applicable period. Each change in the interest rate hereunder shall take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in the

-30-

Base Rate. Each change in the Base Rate shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m., New York time, on the Banking Day on which the change in the Base Rate is announced, unless otherwise specified in such announcement, in which case the change shall be effective as so specified.

(c)

Interest accrued on each Term Rate Advance, the Interest Period for which is three months or less, shall be due and payable on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Interest accrued on each other Term Rate Advance shall be due and payable on every three month anniversary of the date which is three months after the date such Term Rate Advance was made, converted or continued pursuant to Section 2.5 and on the last day of the Interest Period. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.7, (i) the unpaid principal amount of any Term Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR for such Term Rate Advance plus the Daily Margin for such Term Rate Advance for each day during the applicable period.

(d)

If not sooner paid, the principal amount of each Advance shall be payable to each Bank on the Maturity Date applicable to such Advance.

(e)

The Advances of any Tranche may, at any time and from time to time, voluntarily be paid or prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except that with respect to any voluntary prepayment under this subsection, (i) any partial prepayment shall be in minimum amount of $2,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice of any prepayment by (x) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of prepayment (which shall be a Banking Day), in the case of a Base Rate Advance, and (y) by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of prepayment, in the case of a Term Rate Advance, which notice shall identify the date, Tranche and amount of the prepayment and the Loan(s) being prepaid, (iii) each prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by payment of interest accrued through the date of payment on the amount of principal paid and (iv) in any event, any payment or prepayment of all or any part of any Term Rate Advance on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period shall be subject to Section 3.6(c). Any such notice of prepayment may be conditioned upon the successful closing of a new financing and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank thereof and of such Bank’s portion of the outstanding Loans being prepaid; provided that, to the extent such notice of prepayment is rescinded and/or the prepayment is not made, the Borrower shall pay any amounts required to be made under Section 3.6(c). All prepayments pursuant to this Section 3.1(e) shall be applied ratably to the Tranche or Tranches of Advances specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment.

3.2

Ticking Fee. Without duplication of any similar fee payable under the Fee Letter, the Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Bank (other than a Defaulting Bank for such time as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank) under each Tranche, a non-refundable fee calculated (in accordance with Section 3.8) on a daily basis at 0.125% per annum on the aggregate outstanding Commitments of each Bank under such Tranche as of such date, accruing commencing on March 12, 2023 and payable in arrears (with respect to all amounts accrued to such date) on the earlier of (i) the Funding Date and (ii) the date of termination of the Commitments of such Tranche in full. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the definition of “Mandatory Cancellation Event” and the ability thereunder for the Borrower to provide notices and issue documents to facilitate a switch from a Scheme to a Takeover Offer and vice versa, the Commitments shall be deemed to be in effect until the end of the day on which the applicable notice or issuance is required to but does not occur for the purposes of calculating any fees under this Agreement or any fee letters related hereto.

-31-

3.3	[RESERVED]

3.4

Fees. On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers fees in the amounts agreed upon in the Fee Letter. On the dates set forth in the Fee Letter, the Borrower shall pay fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank in the amounts agreed upon in the Fee Letter. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent agency fees in the amounts agreed upon by letter agreement dated on or about the date hereof between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Such agency fees shall be payable annually in advance as set forth in such letter agreements. The agency fees are for the sole account of the Administrative Agent and are fully earned upon receipt and non-refundable; provided, however that in the event the facilities hereunder are terminated, the agency fees deemed earned shall be pro rated over the number of days from the last quarterly date on which the agency fees were paid to the termination date of the facilities.

3.5

Capital Adequacy If any Bank determines in good faith that compliance with any Law or regulation or with any guideline or request (excluding any published as of the date hereof or currently scheduled to take effect) from any central bank or other Governmental Agency (whether or not having the force of Law), in each case adopted or effective after the date hereof has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Bank’s Commitment or its making or maintaining of Advances, below the rate which such Bank or such other corporation could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Bank or corporation with regard to capital), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Bank (following the expiry of the Certain Funds Period and with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), immediately pay to such Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or other corporation for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such calculations, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Bank, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any circumstances that would cause the Borrower to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5.

3.6	Increased Costs.

(a)

If, after the date hereof, by reason of (i) any change in the interpretation or administration of any existing Law by any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable authority:

(1)

(A) any reserve (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), liquidity, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office; or (B) any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office shall have imposed on it any other condition, cost or expense affecting any Advance, any of its Notes, its obligation to make Advances or this Agreement, or its obligation to make or any of the same shall otherwise be adversely affected;

and the result of any of the foregoing, as determined by such Bank, increases the cost to such Bank or its Applicable Lending Office of making, converting

-32-

to, continuing or maintaining any Advance or in respect of any Advance, any of its Notes or its obligation to make Advances or reduces the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank or its Applicable Lending Office with respect to any Advance, any of its Notes or its obligation to make Advances or its participation therein, then, upon demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall (following the expiry of the Certain Funds Period) pay to such Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduction; provided, however, that this Section 3.6 shall not apply to any increased cost resulting from Indemnified Taxes, which are covered by Section 3.10 or Excluded Taxes. A statement of any Bank claiming compensation under this subsection and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Bank agrees to endeavor promptly to notify the Borrower of any event of which it has actual knowledge (and, in any event, within 90 days from the date on which it obtained such knowledge), occurring after the Effective Date, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.6, and agrees to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. If any Bank claims compensation under this Section 3.6, the Borrower may at any time, upon at least four (4) Banking Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and Banks and upon payment in full of the amounts provided for in this Section 3.6 through the date of such payment plus any fee required by Section 3.6(c), pay in full all Advances or request that all Term Rate Advances be converted to Base Rate Advances or all Base Rate Advances be converted to Term Rate Advances.

(2)

If any Bank shall have reasonably determined that it shall be unlawful for such Bank or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its portion of any Term Rate Advance, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Term SOFR has become unlawful, then such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent and the other Banks, and such Bank’s obligation to make Term Rate Advances shall be suspended for the duration of such illegality and the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and such Bank shall make a Base Rate Advance as part of any successive Term Rate Advance. Upon receipt of such notice, the outstanding principal amount of all Term Rate Advances made by such Bank automatically shall be converted to Base Rate Advances on either (A) the last day of the Interest Period(s) applicable to such Term Rate Advances if the affected Bank may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Term Rate Advances to such day(s) or (B) immediately if the affected Bank may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such Term Rate Advances to such day(s), provided that in such event the conversion shall not be subject to payment of a fee under Section 3.6(c).

(b)

If, with respect to any proposed Term Rate Advance, the Majority Banks advise the Administrative Agent that the Adjusted Term SOFR, as determined by the Administrative Agent (1) does not represent the effective pricing to such Banks for deposits in Dollars in the interbank market in the relevant amount for the applicable Interest Period, or (2) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of making the applicable Term Rate Advances, then the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the

-33-

Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Banks to make any future Term Rate Advances shall be suspended. If at the time of such notice there is then pending a Request for Loan that specifies a Term Rate Advance, such Request for Loan shall be deemed to specify a Base Rate Advance in Dollars. If at the time of such notice there are any Term Rate Advances outstanding, all such Term Rate Advances automatically shall be converted to Base Rate Advances on the last day of the Interest Period(s) applicable to such Term Rate Advances.

(c)

The Borrower shall compensate each Bank for any loss sustained by that Bank in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of funds, excluding any loss of margin, and, without duplication, all actual out-of-pocket expenses (excluding allocations of any expense internal to such Bank) reasonably attributable thereto that such Bank may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by that Bank) a borrowing of any Term Rate Advance does not occur on a date or in the amount specified therefor in a Request for Loan or a telephonic request for loan or a Conversion to or continuation of any Term Rate Advance does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephone request for Conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment or any conversion (other than as a result of a conversion required under Section 3.6(a)(2)) or assignment in accordance with Section 3.17 of any of its Term Rate Advances occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan, or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Term Rate Advances is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower. Each Bank’s determination of any amount payable under this Section 3.6(c) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Bank shall submit an invoice to the Administrative Agent of the amount payable by the Borrower under this Section 3.6(c) setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such amount and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of such amount. The Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay each relevant Bank the portion of the amount owed to it.

(d)

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent any notice under Section 3.5, 3.6 or 3.10 is given by any Bank more than 180 days after such Bank has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event (or, in the case of a claim under Section 3.10, of the amount of such claim) giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, Tax or other additional amounts described in such Section 3.5, 3.6 or 3.10, as the case may be, such Bank shall not be entitled to compensation under such Section for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the giving of such notice (except that, if such event giving rise to the cost, reduction in amounts, loss, Tax or other amounts described in such Section 3.5, 3.6 or 3.10 is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactivity effective thereof).

(e)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that:

(i)

adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Reference Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the applicable Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

-34-

(ii)

the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Reference Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable Reference Rate shall no longer be used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),

then, after such determination by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement (i) to replace the applicable Reference Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time in lieu of the applicable Reference Rate (any such proposed rate, a “Successor Rate”; provided that if the Successor Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement), and (ii) to make any Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.2, any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Banking Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Banks and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Banks comprising the Majority Banks have delivered to the Administrative Agent notice that such Majority Banks do not accept such amendment.

If no Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Term Rate Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term Rate Advances or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding its determination, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of, Term Rate Advances (to the extent of the affected Term Rate Advances or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Advances at the end of the then Interest Period in the amount specified therein.

3.7

Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or (b), the outstanding principal amount of all Advances and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any interest payments thereon not paid when due and any fees and other amounts then due and payable hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to 2% in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Advances (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Advances), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws; provided that, in the case of Term Rate Advances, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Term Rate Advances shall thereupon become Base Rate Advances and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Advances. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be compounded daily and shall be payable on demand, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

3.8	Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of interest on Base Rate Advances when the Base Rate is calculated by reference to Citibank’s base commercial lending rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.

-35-

Computation of all fees and other interest (including in the case of interest on Base Rate Advances determined by reference to Adjusted Term SOFR or the Federal Funds Effective Rate and Adjusted Term SOFR Rate Advances) shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. Any Advance that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.

3.9

Non-Banking Days. If any payment to be made by a Borrower or any other party under any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a Banking Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Banking Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing the amount of such payment.

3.10	Manner and Treatment of Payments.

(a)

Except as set forth in the next sentence, each payment hereunder or on the Notes or under any other Loan Document shall be made to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, for the account of each of the appropriate Banks in immediately available funds, without any set-off or counterclaim, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the day of payment (which must be a Banking Day). All payments received after 2:00 p.m., New York time or local time (as the case may be), on any particular Banking Day, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Banking Day. The amount of all payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank shall be promptly paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Bank in immediately available funds. All payments of principal, interest and all other amounts payable under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars.

(b)

Prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default, each payment or prepayment received by the Administrative Agent on account of any Loan shall be applied to the Loans, pro rata in accordance with the aggregate principal amount thereof owed to each Bank.

(c)

Each Bank shall use its best efforts to keep a record of Advances made by it and payments received by it with respect to its Loans and, subject to Section 11.9(g), such record shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no Bank shall be liable to any party for any failure to keep such a record.

(d)

(i)

Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Bank under this Agreement or any other 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 imposed by any Governmental Agency, and all liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”), except as required by Law, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Bank, (A) any Taxes imposed on or measured by its net income (however

-36-

denominated), franchise taxes imposed on it and branch profits Taxes, in each case, (1) imposed by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a lending office or (2) that are Other Connection Taxes, (B) any Taxes attributable to the Administrative Agent’s or such Bank’s failure or inability to provide the forms set forth in Section 11.27, other than as a result of a change in applicable Law after the date such Person became a party to this Agreement, (C) United States withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of a Bank with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan or Commitment pursuant to a Law in effect on the date on which (1) such Bank acquires such interest in the Loan or Commitment or (2) such Bank changes its lending office; except in each case to the extent that, if at the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which a Bank assignee becomes a party to this Agreement or at the date of such Bank changing its lending office, the assignor or such Bank was entitled to payments under this Section 3.10(d)(i) or (iii) in respect of such United States withholding Tax paid at such date and (D) Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes” and all such excluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Excluded Taxes”). If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, as applicable, (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all such required deductions are made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.10(d)), each of the Administrative Agent and such Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Agency in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) as soon as practicable after the date of such payment, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Bank) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (to the extent available).

(ii)

In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes and any other excise or property Taxes or 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, except any such Taxes imposed as a result of a grant of a participation, designation of a new lending office, transfer or assignment (other than an assignment pursuant to a request by a Borrower under Section 3.17) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(iii)

The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Bank for (A) 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 3.10) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent and such Bank and (B) any interest, penalties or additions to tax arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Agency. Payment under this

-37-

Section 3.10(d)(iii) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Bank or the Administrative Agent makes a written demand therefor.

(iv)

If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 3.10, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if, in the judgment of such Bank, such change (A) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment that may thereafter accrue and (B) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

(v)

Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.9(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan 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 Agency. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (v).

(vi)

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 or reimbursed pursuant to this Section 3.10(d) or with respect to which the indemnifying party has paid an additional or indemnification amount hereunder, it shall pay to the indemnifying party (within thirty (30) days after such Person became aware it received such refund) an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.10(d) 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 Agency with respect to such refund). In the event such indemnified party is required by the relevant Governmental Agency to repay any portion of such refund, then such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party such portion of any refund previously paid over to such indemnifying party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by such Governmental Agency with respect to such portion of such refund). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.10(d)(vi), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to the indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.10(d)(vi) to the extent such payment would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns

-38-

(or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(vii)

For purposes of this Section 3.10(d), the term “Law” includes FATCA.

(viii)

Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.10(d) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

3.11

Funding Sources. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Bank to obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Bank that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner.

3.12

Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver. Any decision by any Bank not to require payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.7), 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 such Bank’s right to require full payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.7), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another method, on any other or subsequent occasion.

3.13

Administrative Agent’s Right to Assume Payments Will be Made by Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment to be made by that Borrower hereunder is due that the Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, assume that the Borrower has remitted such payment when so due and the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Bank on such payment date an amount equal to such Bank’s share of such assumed payment. If a Borrower has not in fact remitted such payment to the Administrative Agent, each Bank shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Bank, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the average overnight federal funds rate.

-39-

the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority ) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities (whether or not having the force of law), in case for this clause (b) pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Law regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

3.17

(2)

such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts under Section 3.6(c)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(3)

in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.6(c) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.10, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(4)

such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(5)

in the case of any assignment pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 3.17, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of the designation of a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.6(a) or Section 3.10(d) by the Bank, as applicable, a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(1)

the commitment to make Advances and all other obligations of the Administrative Agent, the Banks and all rights of the Borrower and any other parties under the Loan Documents shall be suspended without notice to or

-59-

demand upon the Borrower, which are expressly waived by the Borrower, except, subject to Section 9.2(a)(2), that the Majority Banks (or all of the Banks to the extent required by Section 11.2) may waive the Event of Default or, without waiving, determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to the Majority Banks (or all of the Banks, as the case may be), to reinstate the Commitments and make further Advances, which waiver or determination shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Banks; and

(2)

the Majority Banks may request the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent thereupon shall, terminate the Commitments and declare, by notice to the Borrower, all or any part of the unpaid principal of all Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1(i) with respect to the Borrower (but for the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 8.3):

(d)

The order and manner in which the Banks’ rights and remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Majority Banks in their sole discretion, and all payments received by the Administrative Agent and the Banks, or any of them, shall be applied first to the costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements covered by Section 11.3) of the Administrative Agent, acting as Administrative Agent, and of the Banks (to the extent covered by Section 11.3), and thereafter paid pro rata to the Banks in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed to each Bank under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Banks, without priority or preference among the Banks. Regardless of how each Bank may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing the Borrower’s Obligations hereunder and under the Notes, payments shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, acting as Administrative Agent, and the Banks, as set forth above, second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest due under any Loan Documents to and including the date of such application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the accrued and unpaid interest due under each of the Loan Documents), and third, to the payment of

all other amounts (including principal and fees) then owing to the Administrative Agent or the Banks under the Loan Documents. No application of payments will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the Banks hereunder or thereunder or at law or in equity.

(e)

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default resulting from or resulting in the default by the Borrower in the repayment of its Term Rate Advances when required by the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower shall compensate each Bank in accordance with Section 3.6(c).

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for a period commencing on the Funding Date and ending on the date falling 120 days after the Funding Date (the “Clean-up Date”), notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, any breach of covenants, misrepresentation or other default which arises with respect to the Target and its Subsidiaries will be deemed not to be a breach of representation or warranty, a breach of covenant or an Event of Default, as the case may be, if:

(i)

it is capable of remedy and reasonable steps are being taken to remedy it;

(ii)

the circumstances giving rise to it have not knowingly been procured by the Borrower (and the Borrower’s knowledge of such circumstances does not of itself constitute procurement); and

(iii)

it is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

If the relevant circumstances are continuing on or after the Clean-up Date, there shall be a breach of representation or warranty, breach of covenant or Event of Default, as the case may be, notwithstanding the above.

ARTICLE 10

The Administrative Agent

10.1

Appointment and Authority. Each of the Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank 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 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and the Borrower shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions (except for the consents specifically required in Section 10.6). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

10.2

Rights as a Bank. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial

-61-

advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

10.3	Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i)

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

(ii)

shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Bank in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(iii)

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

(b)

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.2 and Article 9), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Bank.

(c)

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 8 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

-62-

10.4

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

10.5

Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and each such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Loans as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

10.6	Resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(a)

The Administrative Agent may at any time, following the expiry of the Certain Funds Period, give notice of its resignation to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right, with the written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and not to be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Banks) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b)

If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Majority Banks may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower (and, prior to the expiry of the Certain Funds Period, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and (following the expiry of the Certain Funds Period) not

-63-

to be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Banks ) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)

With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable) and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 10.6). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 10 and Sections 11.3 and 11.12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

10.7	Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Banks.

Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Banks or any of their Related Parties 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 Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank or any of their Related Parties 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, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

10.8

Right to Indemnity. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 11.12 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys and Affiliates, each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its ratable share (based on the Commitments and Loans held by each Bank), indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys and Affiliates harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against them in any way relating to or arising out

-64-

of the Loan Documents (other than losses incurred by reason of the failure of the Borrower to pay the Obligations represented by the Loan Documents) or any action taken or not taken by it as Administrative Agent thereunder, except such as result from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for that Bank’s ratable share of any cost or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, amendment, waiver, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization), enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, to the extent that the Borrower or any other party is required by Section 11.3 to pay that cost or expense but fails to do so upon demand. Nothing in this Section shall entitle the Administrative Agent to recover any amount from the Banks if and to the extent that such amount has theretofore been recovered from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

10.9

No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as Arrangers or Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or as a Bank hereunder.

10.10

Bank ERISA Matters. (a) Each Bank (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i)

such Bank is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement,

(ii)

the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(iii)

(A) such Bank is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Bank to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Bank, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

-65-

(iv)

such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Bank.

(b)

In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Bank or (2) a Bank has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Bank involved in such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

10.11

Erroneous Payment.

(a)

If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Bank or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Bank (any such Bank or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Bank or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 10.11 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Bank shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Banking Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)

Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Bank or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment

-66-

sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Bank, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Bank shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Banking Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in the immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.11(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.11(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 10.11(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c)

Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Bank under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d)

(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Bank that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Bank at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Bank shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment Agreement by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Bank shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent

-67-

(but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Bank shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Bank shall become a Bank hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Bank shall cease to be a Bank hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Bank, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Bank and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Subject to Section 11.9 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Bank shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Bank (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Bank (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Bank pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Bank from time to time.

(e)

The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Bank, to the rights and interests of such Bank) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other guarantor; provided that this Section 10.11 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with

-68-

respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)

To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g)

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

ARTICLE 11

Miscellaneous

11.1

Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Banks provided herein or in any Note or other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or equity. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy. The terms and conditions of Article 8 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Loan without prejudicing the Administrative Agent’s or the Banks’ rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other Loan.

(c)

To amend or modify any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent or approval of all the Banks.

No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver shall contain terms that (1) directly and adversely affect the interests of the Banks of any Tranche and (2) directly limit the applicability of such terms to one or more Tranches of Advances and Commitments but not to the other Tranche(s) of Advances and Commitments, without the consents of the Majority Tranche Banks of each Tranche directly and adversely affected thereby.

In addition, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Banks required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent acting in such capacity under this Agreement or any Note.

This Section 11.3 shall not apply to the extent that any loss, liability or expense relates to any Taxes (including withholding Taxes and Other Taxes) for which there may be an indemnification, reimbursement or other payment obligation imposed on the Borrower pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.10).

Obligation to Make Payments in Dollars. The obligation of the Borrower to make payments in Dollars of the principal and interest becoming due and payable on each Loan, and to pay all other Obligations hereunder in Dollars, (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Banks of the full amount of Dollars, expressed to be payable in respect of the principal and interest of each Loan and in respect of each other Obligation, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in Dollars, the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of Dollars so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Agreement.

11.5

Nature of Banks’ Obligations. The obligations of the Banks hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Banks or any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Banks a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower. Each Bank’s obligation to make any Advance pursuant hereto is several and not joint or joint and several, and is not conditioned upon the performance by all other Banks of their obligations to make Advances.

11.6

Survival. All representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of any one or more of the parties to any Loan Document, will survive the making of the Advances hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes, and have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, notwithstanding any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Bank or on their behalf. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.5 and 3.6 shall survive for thirty (30) days following the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Notes. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 11.3 and 11.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Notes, provided, however, that such obligations shall not, from and after the termination of this Agreement, be deemed to be Obligations for any purpose under the Loan Documents.

(b)

Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Bank pursuant to Article 2 if such Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article 2 by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of this Section 11.7(b), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 11.7(b), if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

(c)

Change of Address, etc. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

(d)

(ii)

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.

-72-

PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE PLATFORM. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that the Borrower provides to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or any Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

11.8

Execution of Loan Documents. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise specifies with respect to any Loan Document, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument. The execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto. The words “delivery,” “execution,” “execute,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

11.9	Binding Effect; Assignment; Entire Agreement.

(a)

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower and/or its Affiliates may not assign their rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of all the Banks.

(b)

Assignments by Banks. Any Bank 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 Commitments and 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 Bank’s Commitments and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in Section 11.9(b)(i)(B) in the

-73-

aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)

in any case not described in Section 11.9(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitments are not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 and assigned amounts must be in increments of $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents in writing (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)

Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitments assigned.

(iii)

Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 11.9(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A)

the written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) (other than during the Certain Funds Period) an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), (b) or (i) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (y) (during the Certain Funds Period), a Certain Funds Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (z) (other than during the Certain Funds Period) such assignment is to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund (provided in each case that reasonable notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrower and Administrative Agent); provided that it is agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Certain Funds Period, the Borrower may withhold such consent in its sole discretion unless such assignment is from a Bank to one or more of its Affiliate(s) (in which case, provided that reasonable notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrower, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by the Borrower); provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Goldman Sachs Bank USA may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans at the time owing to it) to Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC without the written consent of the Borrower; and

(B)

the written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Bank, an Affiliate of such Bank or an Approved Fund.

(iv)

Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and

-74-

recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v)

No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Bank or Potential Defaulting Bank or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi)

No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(vii)

Provision of Tax Forms. The documentation required by Section 11.27 with respect to such assignee shall have been provided to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(viii)

Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Bank, 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 Bank to the Administrative Agent and each other Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.9(g), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.10(d), 11.3, and 11.12 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 Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.9(c).

-75-

(c)

Participations. Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Bank shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.8 with respect to any payments made by such Bank to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank 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 Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (a) and (b) (in the case of such clause (b), solely with respect to amendments or modifications of the provisions of the definition of “Maturity Date”) of Section 11.2 that directly and adversely affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.5, 3.6 and 3.10(d) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.9(b); provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 11.27 as if it were an assignee under Section 11.9(b). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.10 as though it were a Bank; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.11 as though it were a Bank.

(d)

Limitations upon Participant Rights. Unless the Borrower otherwise agrees in writing, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.5, 3.6 and 3.10(d) than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.10(d) with respect to United States withholding tax unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 11.27 as though it were a Bank.

(e)

Participant Register. Each Bank that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain a register for the recordation of the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in its rights and other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (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 this Agreement) 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 Bank 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.

-76-

(f)

Certain Pledges. Any Bank 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 Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

(g)

The Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the address referred to in Section 11.7 a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(h)

Debt Syndication during the Certain Funds Period. Each of the Banks and the Administrative Agent confirms that it is aware of, and agrees to comply in all respects with, the terms and requirements of the Takeover Panel and Takeover Rules in relation to debt syndication during an offer period under the Takeover Rules.

11.10

Setoff Rights. Subject in all respects to Section 8.3, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent and each Bank and each of its Affiliates (but only with the consent of the Majority Banks) is hereby authorized to the fullest extent permitted by law to setoff and apply any funds in any deposit account maintained with it by the Borrower and/or any Property of the Borrower in its possession against the Obligations; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Bank shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Bank from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and (b) the Defaulting Bank shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Bank as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

11.11

Sharing of Setoffs. Each Bank severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against the Borrower, or otherwise, receives payment, through any means, of the Obligations held by it that is in excess of that Bank’s proportionate share of the Total Outstandings as applied to such payment, then: (a) the Bank 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 Bank a participation in the Obligations held by the other Bank and shall pay to the other Bank a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Bank 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 of the Banks share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Bank’s share of the 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

-77-

recovered from the purchasing Bank by the Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of the 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 Bank that purchases a participation in the 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 Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Bank were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Bank 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 the Bank were the original owner of the Obligation purchased; provided, however, that each Bank agrees that it shall not exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim without first obtaining the consent of the Majority Banks.

11.12

Indemnity by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and each Bank and their respective Related Parties (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action asserted by any third party or by the Borrower if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to the Commitments, the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Advance, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any relationship or relationship alleged to exist by the Borrower, its Affiliates or any other third party of any Indemnitee to the Borrower related to this Agreement; (b) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (a) of this Section 11.12; and (c) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other professional services) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Borrower, but the failure to so promptly notify the Borrower shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 11.12 unless such failure materially prejudices the Borrower’s right to participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of action, as hereinafter provided. If requested by the Borrower in writing, such Indemnitee shall in good faith contest the validity, applicability and amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of action and shall permit the Borrower to participate in such contest. Any Indemnitee that proposes to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which the Borrower may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give the Borrower written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain the Borrower’s prior written consent. In connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section 11.12 against more than one Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by the same legal counsel selected by the Indemnitees and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower; provided that, if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Indemnitees would or could result in a conflict of interest under Laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such Indemnitees, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim, each Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate representation by legal counsel selected by that Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees; provided further that the amount of the legal fees to be reimbursed by the Borrower shall be limited to an amount reasonably determined following consultation among

-78-

the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Banks and their respective legal counsel, to be equal to the amount that would have been expended if the Indemnitees have been represented by one counsel. Any obligation or liability of the Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section 11.12 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Advances and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Banks. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.12 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, equityholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. This Section 11.12 shall not apply to the extent that the losses, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, liabilities or expenses relate to any Taxes (including withholding Taxes and Other Taxes) for which there may be an indemnification, reimbursement or other payment obligation imposed on the Borrower pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 3.6 and 3.10). No party hereto or any 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 Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

11.13

No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks in connection with the Loans and Advances, and is made for the sole benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and the Administrative Agent’s and the Banks’ successors and assigns. Except as provided in Sections 11.9, 11.11 and 11.12, no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.

11.14

Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Bank agrees to hold any confidential information that it may receive from the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in confidence: except for disclosure: (a) to other Banks; (b) to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Bank or agents involved in administration of this Agreement; (c) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or a Bank or its Affiliates; (d) as required by Law or legal process or in connection with any legal proceeding to which the Administrative Agent or a Bank and that Borrower are adverse parties; (e) to Affiliates of the Administrative Agent by the Administrative Agent, (f) to Affiliates of a Bank or to another financial institution, in each case, in connection with a disposition or proposed disposition to that financial institution of all or part of that Bank’s interests hereunder or a participation interest in its Advances; (g)(i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement or (iii) or to any credit insurance provider relating to a Borrower and its Obligations, provided that such disclosure in this Section 11.14 is made subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement on terms substantially similar to this Section; (h) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; or (i) with the consent of the Borrower. For purposes of the foregoing, “confidential information” shall mean any information respecting the Borrower or its Subsidiaries reasonably considered by the Borrower to be confidential, other than (i) information previously filed with or furnished to any Governmental Agency and available to the public, (ii) information previously published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or indirectly, that Bank, and (iii) information previously disclosed by a Borrower to any Person not associated with that Borrower without a written confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 11.14. Nothing in this

-79-

Section 11.14 shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Banks to the Borrower.

11.15

Further Assurances. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall, at their expense and without expense to the Banks or the Administrative Agent, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as any Bank or the Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably requires for the assuring and confirming unto the Banks or the Administrative Agent of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan Document.

11.16

No Fiduciary Duties. The Borrower agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Runners, Co-Documentation Agents, Syndication Agents, Banks and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Book Runners, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agent, the Banks or their respective Affiliates and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. Accordingly, there may be situations where the Administrative Agent, a Joint Lead Arranger, a Joint Book Runner, a Co-Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent, a Bank or their Affiliates and/or their clients either now have or may in the future have interests, or take actions, that may conflict with the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ interests.

11.17

Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, 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 the Administrative Agent or the Banks 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.

11.18

Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any other party or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

11.19
