The US Borrower must repay each Swingline Loan upon demand of the Swingline Lender (and in any event on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date).
Purpose:	The proceeds of the borrowings under the Term Facility on the Closing Date and cash on of the balance sheet of the Borrowers and the Guarantors, shall be used (i) to finance the Acquisition and the Refinancing and (ii) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used on the Closing Date to fund any additional upfront fees or OID payable due to an imposition of “market flex” under the Facilities Fee Letter (to the extent no funded by an increase to the US Term Facility) and to backstop, cash collateralize or replace letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be used after the Closing Date to provide ongoing working capital and for other general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries.

The Applicable Margin means (a) with respect to the Term Facility, (x) 4.75% per annum, in the case of LIBOR advances, and (y) 3.75% per annum, in the case of Base Rate advances, and (b) with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, (x) 4.25% per annum, in the case of LIBOR advances, and (y) 3.25% per annum, in the case of Base Rate advances, in each case with two 25 basis point step-downs if the Secured Net Leverage Ratios (as defined below) are less than 0.75x and 1.25x inside the Secured Net Leverage Ratio on the Closing Date, respectively.
	Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Revolving Loans.
	The Borrower Representative may select interest periods of one, two, three or six months (and, if agreed to by all relevant Lenders, twelve months) for LIBOR advances. Interest shall be payable in cash at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly.
	“ LIBOR ” and “ Base Rate ” will have meanings customary and appropriate for financings of this type; provided that (x) LIBOR with respect to (i) the Term Facility will be deemed to be not less than 1.00% per annum (the “ LIBOR Floor ”) and (ii) the Revolving Credit Facility will be deemed to be not less than 0.00% per annum and (y) the Base Rate will be deemed to be not less than 100 basis points higher than one-month LIBOR.
	During the continuance of an event of default for non-payment of principal, interest or any other amount, interest will accrue on such overdue principal, interest or other amount at the Default Rate (as defined below). During the continuance of a bankruptcy event of default, the principal amount of all outstanding obligations will bear interest at the Default Rate. As used herein, “ Default Rate ” means (i) on the principal of any loan at a rate of 2.00% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to such loan and (ii) on any other overdue amount at a rate of 2.00% in excess of the non-default rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate loans under the Term Facility.
Commitment Fee:	For the period commencing on the Closing Date through the last day of the first fiscal quarter ending thereafter, a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum, with a step down to 0.375% per annum for any fiscal quarterly period thereafter for which the Secured Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter is equal to or less than a Secured Net Leverage Ratio that is 1.00x inside the Secured Net Leverage Ratio on the Closing Date, shall be payable on the actual daily unused portions of the Revolving Credit Facility during each such applicable period, such fee to be payable quarterly in arrears and on the date of termination or expiration of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. Swingline Loans will not be considered utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility for purposes of this calculation. No commitment fee shall be paid to any defaulting lender.
Calculation of Interest and Fees:	Other than calculations in respect of interest at the Base Rate (which shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a 365/366 day year), all calculations of interest and fees shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year.
Cost and Yield Protection:	Customary for transactions and facilities of this type, including, without limitation, in respect of breakage or redeployment costs incurred in connection with prepayments, changes in capital adequacy and capital requirements or their interpretation, illegality, unavailability, reserves without proration or offset and payments free and clear of withholding or other taxes, except as required by applicable law (with appropriate gross-up for withholding taxes, subject to customary exceptions); provided that for all purposes of the Credit Documentation, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by 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, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed introduced or adopted after the Closing Date.
Letter of Credit Fees:	Letter of Credit fees equal to the Applicable Margin from time to time on LIBOR advances under the Revolving Credit Facility on a per annum basis will be payable quarterly in arrears and shared proportionately by the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, a fronting fee equal to 12.5 basis points per annum will be payable to the Issuing Bank for its own account, as well as reasonable customary issuance and documentary fees.

Maturity:	Term Facility: 7 years after the Closing Date.
	Revolving Credit Facility: 5 years after the Closing Date.
Amendment and Extension:	The Credit Documentation shall provide the right of individual Lenders to agree in their sole discretion to extend the maturity of their loans and commitments under the Facilities upon the request of the Borrower Representative and without the consent of any other Lender (and as further described under “Waivers and Amendments” below).
Incremental Facilities :	The Credit Documentation will permit the Borrower Representative to add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the Facilities (each, an “ Incremental Term Facility ”) and/or increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility (any such increase, an “ Incremental Revolving Facility ”; the Incremental Term Facilities and the Incremental Revolving Facilities are collectively referred to as “ Incremental Facilities ”) in an aggregate amount of up to (a) $150,000,000 plus (b) an additional amount such that, in the case of this clause (b) only, after giving pro forma effect thereto (including use of proceeds), the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined below) does not exceed 2.75:1.00 (and, for purposes of the test in this clause (b) to include all such Incremental Facilities, assuming they were fully drawn, and whether or not secured and whether secured on a first-lien or junior basis (without netting the proceeds thereof), but excluding any substantially simultaneous debt incurrence pursuant to clause (a)) (it being understood that loans may be incurred under both clauses (a) and (b) above, and proceeds from any such incurrence under both clauses (a) and (b) above may be utilized in a single transaction by first calculating the incurrence under clause (b) above and then calculating the incurrence under clause (a) above and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such incurrence under clause (a) shall not be given pro forma effect for purposes of determining Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of effectuating the incurrence under clause (b) in such single transaction); provided that (i) no Lender will be required to participate in any such Incremental Facility, (ii) (x) no event of default (or, in the case of an Incremental Facility the proceeds of which will be used to finance a Permitted Acquisition (as defined below), no payment or bankruptcy event of default) exists or would exist after giving effect thereto and (y) the representations and warranties in the Credit Documentation shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent already qualified by materiality or material adverse effect) ( provided that any bring-down of representations and warranties shall be limited in the case of any Permitted Acquisition to customary “specified representations” and “acquisition agreement representations”), (iii) the maturity date of any such Incremental Term Facility shall be no earlier than the maturity date for the Term Facility, (iv) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Facility shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Facility, (v) the interest margins for the Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the Borrower Representative and the lenders of the Incremental Term Facility; provided that in the event that the interest margins for any Incremental Term Facility incurred less than 18 months after the Closing Date are greater than the Applicable Margin for the Term Facility by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Margin for the Term Facility shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the interest margins for the Incremental Term Facility are not more than 50 basis points higher than the Applicable Margin for the Term Facility; provided , further , that in determining the interest margins applicable to the Term Facility and the Applicable Margins for the Incremental Term Facility, (x) OID or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the applicable Borrower for the account of the Lenders of the Term Facility or the Incremental Term Facility in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on the shorter of (i) the weighted average life to maturity of such loans and (ii) an assumed four-year life to maturity), (y) customary arrangement, structuring, underwriting, amendment or commitment fees payable solely to the Lead Arrangers (or their respective affiliates) in connection with the Term Facility or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of the Incremental Term Facility shall be excluded, and (z) if the LIBOR or Base Rate floor for the Incremental Term Facility is greater than the LIBOR or Base Rate floor, respectively, for the existing Term Facility, the difference between such floor for the Incremental Term Facility and the existing Term Facility shall be equated to an increase in the Applicable Margin for purposes of this clause (v), (vi) each Incremental Facility may be secured by either a pari passu or junior lien on the Collateral (as hereinafter defined) securing the Facilities in each case on terms and pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility and any Incremental Term Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower Representative and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility, provided that, to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the Term Facility (except to the extent permitted by clause (iii), (iv) or (v) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (viii) subject to clause (vii) above, any Incremental Term Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be agreed between the Borrower Representative and the applicable lenders providing the Incremental Term Facility; provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the Term Facility or the Revolving Credit Facility, as the case may be (except to the extent permitted above), such terms may, at the option of the Borrower Representative, be incorporated into the Credit Documentation to the extent all such terms are beneficial to all existing Lenders without further amendment requirements, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any increase in the Applicable Margin relating to the existing Term Facility to bring such Applicable Margin in line with the Incremental Term Facility to achieve fungibility with such existing Term Facility. The Borrower Representative shall seek commitments in respect of any Incremental Facility from existing Lenders or from additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent who will become Lenders in connection therewith.
	The Credit Documentation will permit the Borrower Representative to utilize availability under the Incremental Term Facilities to issue first or junior lien secured notes or junior lien loans (any such notes or loans (including notes issued through a private placement), “ Incremental Equivalent Debt ”), with the amount of such secured notes or loans reducing the aggregate principal amount available for the Incremental Term Facilities, subject to customary terms and conditions to be agreed; provided that, to the extent any Incremental Equivalent Debt is junior lien indebtedness, such indebtedness shall be permitted to be incurred as Incremental Equivalent Debt to the extent that after giving pro forma effect thereto (include use of proceeds) the Total Gross Leverage Ratio (as defined below) does not exceed 4.50:1.00 regardless of the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio then in effect.
Refinancing Facilities:	The Credit Documentation will permit the Borrower Representative to refinance loans under the Term Facility or commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility or loans or commitments under any Incremental Facility (each, “ Refinanced Debt ”) from time to time, in whole or part, with (x) one or more new term facilities (each, a “ Refinancing Term Facility ”) or new revolving credit facilities (each, a “ Refinancing Revolving Facility ”; the Refinancing Term Facilities and the Refinancing Revolving Facilities are collectively referred to herein as “ Refinancing Facilities ”), respectively, under the Credit Documentation with the consent of the Borrower Representative and the institutions providing such Refinancing Facility or (y) other than with respect to a refinancing of the Revolving Credit Facility, one or more series of unsecured notes or loans, notes secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Facilities or notes or loans secured by the Collateral on a subordinated basis to the Facilities, which will be subject to customary intercreditor terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (any such notes or loans, “ Refinancing Notes ” and together with the Refinancing Facilities, the “ Refinancing Indebtedness ”); provided that (i) any Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Notes consisting of term loans do not mature prior to the maturity date of, or have a shorter weighted average life than, the applicable Refinanced Debt consisting of term loans, (ii) any Refinancing Notes consisting of notes do not mature prior to the maturity date of the applicable Refinanced Debt or have any scheduled amortization, (iii) the commitments under any Refinancing Revolving Facility do not terminate prior to the termination date of the revolving commitments under the applicable Refinanced Debt, (iv) there shall be no issuers, borrowers or guarantors in respect of any Refinancing Indebtedness that are not a Borrower or a Guarantor, (v) any Refinancing Notes shall not contain any mandatory prepayment provisions (other than related to customary asset sale and change of control offers or events of default) that could result in prepayments of such Refinancing Notes prior to the maturity date of the applicable Refinanced Debt, (vi) the other terms and conditions of such Refinancing Indebtedness (excluding pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, discounts, fees and prepayment or redemption provisions) shall either, at the option of the Borrower Representative, (x) with respect to Refinancing Notes only, reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined by the Borrower Representative) or (y) not be materially more favorable (when taken as a whole) to the lenders or investors providing such Refinancing Indebtedness than the terms of the applicable Refinanced Debt unless (1) the holders of the Refinanced Debt being replaced also receive the benefit of such terms or (2) any such provisions apply only after the maturity date of the Refinanced Debt and (vii) the proceeds of such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes (a) shall not be in an aggregate principal amount greater than the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Refinanced Debt plus any fees, premiums, OID and accrued interest associated therewith, and costs and expenses related thereto and (b) shall be immediately applied to permanently prepay (or, in the case of a Refinancing Revolving Facility, replace) in whole or in part the applicable Refinanced Debt.
Documentation Principles:	The Credit Documentation: (i) will be negotiated in good faith within a reasonable time period to be determined based on the expected Closing Date and taking into account the timing of the syndication of the Facilities; (ii) be in such form that they do not impair the availability of the Term Facility by the Closing Date if the Funds Certain Provisions are satisfied; (iii) will contain only those mandatory prepayments, representations, warranties, conditions to borrowing, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of defaults set forth herein, in each case applicable to the Borrowers and their restricted subsidiaries; and (iv) will contain other terms and provisions substantially consistent with those contained in a documentation precedent (the “ Documentation Precedent ”) to be mutually agreed (as adjusted pursuant to terms of this section, the “ Documentation Principles ”), with such changes and modifications thereto (A) that reflect the terms and provisions set forth in the Commitment Letter, this Summary of Terms and Conditions and the “market flex” provisions of the Facilities Fee Letter, (B) that reflect changes in law or accounting standards and requirements of local law or to cure mistakes or defects, (C) that are reasonably agreed to by the Borrower Representative and the Lead Arrangers, (D) that are reasonably necessary to take into account the operational requirements and strategic requirements of the Borrowers and their restricted subsidiaries (after giving effect to the Transaction) in light of their size, industries, businesses and business practices, geographic location and operations, proposed business plan and financial model, (E) the jurisdiction of organization of the Borrowers and their restricted subsidiaries and (F) that reflect the customary operational and agency provisions of the Administrative Agent.

Except as set forth in the following paragraph, prepayments of the Term Facility shall be applied on a pro rata basis across the US Term Facility and the Euro Term Facility. All prepayments referred to immediately above are subject to there being no material adverse tax consequences and to permissibility (i) under local law ( e.g. , financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of directors or the relevant subsidiaries) and (ii) material constituent document restrictions and other material agreements (so long as any such prohibition is not created in contemplation of such prepayment), it being understood and agreed that if the payment of only one tranche of the Term Facility would trigger a material adverse tax consequence or be subject to a local law restriction then such payment shall be applied to the other tranche of the Term Facility on a non-pro rata basis. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a default or event of default, and such amounts shall be available to the Borrowers and their restricted subsidiaries, subject to terms and conditions substantially consistent with the Documentation Principles. Any Lender may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment as otherwise required by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) immediately above (except with respect to the proceeds of Refinancing Facilities and Refinancing Notes) (each a “ Declining Lender ”). Any prepayment amount declined by a Declining Lender (“ Declined Proceeds ”) may be retained by the Borrowers and may be used by the Borrowers in any manner not prohibited by the Credit Documentation and any such retained amounts will not thereafter be counted as excess cash flow or net cash proceeds in any subsequent measurement period.
Optional Prepayments and Commitment Reductions:	The Facilities may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty, upon written notice, at the option of the Borrower Representative, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the date of prepayment, except (x) that any prepayment of LIBOR advances other than at the end of the applicable interest periods therefor shall be made with reimbursement for any funding losses and redeployment costs of the Lenders resulting therefrom and (y) as set forth in “Repayment Premium” below. Each optional prepayment of the Term Facility shall be applied as directed by the Borrower Representative. The unutilized portion of any commitment under the Revolving Credit Facilities may be reduced permanently or terminated by the Borrower Representative at any time without penalty.
Repayment Premium:	In the event that all or any portion of the Term Facility is (i) repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced or (ii) repriced or effectively refinanced through any waiver, consent or amendment (in each case, in connection with any waiver, consent or amendment to the Term Facility directed at, or the result of which would be, the lowering of the effective interest cost or the weighted average yield of the Term Facility or the incurrence of any term facility having an effective interest cost or weighted average yield that is less than the effective interest cost or weighted average yield of the Term Facility (or portion thereof) so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced (other than a refinancing of the Term Facility in connection with any transaction that would, if consummated, constitute a change of control) (a “ Repricing Transaction ”)) occurring on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, such repayment, prepayment, refinancing, replacement or repricing will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced (it being understood and agreed that the US Borrower shall be responsible for the repayment premium of 1.0%). If all or any portion of the Term Facility held by any Lender is repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced pursuant to a “yank-a-bank” or similar provision in the Credit Documentation as a result of, or in connection with, such Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to any waiver, consent or amendment referred to in clause (ii) above (or otherwise in connection with a Repricing Transaction), such repayment, prepayment, refinancing or replacement will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced (it being understood and agreed that the US Borrower shall be responsible for the repayment premium of 1.0%).

	Lenders will be permitted to sell participations (except to Disqualified Institutions, if the list of Disqualified Institutions has been provided to all Lenders) with voting rights (a) limited to matters in respect of (i) increases in commitment amount of such participant, (ii) reductions of principal, interest or fees payable to such participant, (iii) extension of scheduled maturities or times for payment of amounts payable to such participant and (iv) releases of all or substantially all of the Collateral or value of the guarantees and (b) for clarification purposes, which shall not include the right to vote on waivers of defaults or events of default and the sale of such participations shall not require the approval of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent. An assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 will be charged with respect to each assignment unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.
	Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Credit Documentation to the contrary, (i) in the case that after the date of the Commitment Letter the Borrower Representative supplements the list of Disqualified Institutions, such supplement from the Borrower Representative may not retroactively disqualify any person that previously acquired an assignment or participation in the Facilities and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not ‎(x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to, or the restrictions on any exercise of rights or remedies of, any Disqualified Institution.
	Subject to the Documentation Principles, assignments of loans under the Term Facility to the Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries shall be permitted subject to satisfaction of conditions to be set forth in the Documentation Precedent.
Waivers and Amendments:	Amendments and waivers of the provisions of the Credit Documentation will require the approval of Lenders holding loans and commitments representing more than 50% of the aggregate advances and commitments under the Facilities (the “ Required Lenders ”), except that (a) the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby will also be required with respect to, among other things, (i) increases in commitment amount of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent or the waiver of any default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase in any commitment of any Lender), (ii) reductions of principal, interest, or fees payable to such Lender (other than waivers of default interest, a default or an event of default or mandatory prepayment); provided that any change in the definitions of any ratio used in the calculation of any rate of interest or fees (or the component definitions) shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees, (iii) extensions of scheduled maturities or times for payment of amounts payable to such Lender (it being understood and agreed that the waiver of any mandatory prepayment, default interest, default or event of default shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders), (iv) releases of all or substantially all of the Collateral or value of the guarantees (other than in connection with permitted asset sales, dispositions, mergers, liquidations or dissolutions or as otherwise permitted), (v) changes that impose any restriction on the ability of such Lender to assign any of its rights or obligations, (vi) the definition of Required Lenders, (vii) pro rata/sharing provisions and (viii) re-denominations of currency and (b) tranche voting will be required for certain matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) amendments and waivers of the Financial Covenant shall only require the approval of Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) amendments to affect a Repricing Transaction which reduced the interest rate shall only require the approval of Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby.
	Subject to the Documentation Principles, the Credit Documentation shall contain defaulting lender provisions and “yank-a-bank” provisions substantially consistent with the Documentation Precedent. If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature in the Credit Documentation, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative shall be permitted to amend such provision without further action or consent of any other party so long as the Required Lenders do not object thereto within 10 business days following receipt of notice thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Credit Documentation shall provide that the Borrower Representative may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of any loans under the Facilities be converted to extend (i) the scheduled maturity date of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such loans and (ii) the scheduled termination date of any commitments pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility (any such loans which have been so converted, “ Extended Loans ”) and upon such request of the Borrower Representative any individual Lender shall have the right to agree to extend the maturity date of its outstanding loans or the termination date of its commitments without the consent of any other Lender; provided that all such requests shall be made pro rata to all Lenders within the applicable Facility. The terms of Extended Loans shall be identical to the loans of the existing class from such Extended Loans are converted except for interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date or final termination date, provisions requiring optional and mandatory prepayments to be directed first to the non-extended loans prior to being applied to Extended Loans and certain other customary provisions to be agreed. Any applicable intercreditor agreement may be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and, if a party thereto, the Borrowers and the Guarantors, to give effect thereto or to carry out the purposes thereof.
Indemnification:	The Borrowers will indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Lead Arrangers, each Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank, and the Lenders and their respective affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons of the foregoing (each an “ Indemnified Person ”), and hold them harmless from and against all costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) and liabilities of any such Indemnified Person arising out of or relating to any claim or any litigation or other proceeding (regardless of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto or whether such claim, litigation, or other proceeding is brought by a third party or by the Borrowers or any of its affiliates, creditors or shareholders) that relate to the Credit Documentation, provided that no Indemnified Person will be indemnified for any cost, expense or liability (x) to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s controlled or controlling affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or controlling persons, (y) arising from a material breach of such Indemnified Person’s (or any of their respective affiliates, successors and assigns and the officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and controlling persons) obligations under the definitive loan documentation (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (z) arising from any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lead Arranger or any Commitment Party in its capacity as such).
Governing Law:	New York.
Expenses:	The Borrowers shall pay (a) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Lead Arrangers, each Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank associated with the syndication of the Facilities and the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Credit Documentation and any amendment or waiver with respect thereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel for all such persons, taken as a whole, one local counsel for all such persons, taken as a whole, in each relevant state and in each Material Jurisdiction, in each case retained by the Lead Arrangers (each such counsel subject to the Borrower Representative’s reasonable consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)) and (b) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Lead Arrangers, each Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank, and the Lenders (including, without limitation, the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) in connection with the enforcement of the Credit Documentation.
Counsel to the Commitment Parties:	Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP.
Miscellaneous:	Each of the parties shall (i) waive its right to a trial by jury and (ii) submit to exclusive New York jurisdiction. The Credit Documentation shall contain customary “defaulting lender” provisions.
