Item 1.01
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreements with Arcosa, Inc.

On October 31, 2018, Trinity Industries, Inc. ("Trinity") entered into definitive agreements with Arcosa, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trinity at that time ("Arcosa"), that, among other things, set forth the terms and conditions of the separation of Arcosa from Trinity (the "Separation") and provide a framework for Trinity's relationship with Arcosa after the Separation, including the allocation between Trinity and Arcosa of Trinity's and Arcosa's assets, liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation. In addition to a Separation and Distribution Agreement, which contains certain key provisions related to the Distribution (as defined below), the parties also entered into an Employee Matters Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, a Transition Services Agreement and an Intellectual Property Matters Agreement (collectively, the "Separation Agreements").

Separation and Distribution Agreement

On October 31, 2018, Trinity entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement with Arcosa that sets forth, among other things, the agreements between Trinity and Arcosa regarding the principal transactions necessary to effect the Separation and the Distribution. It also sets forth other agreements that govern certain aspects of Trinity's ongoing relationship with Arcosa after the completion of the Separation and Distribution. The description of the Separation and Distribution Agreement set forth under this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

The charges for such services are generally intended to allow the service provider to recover all of its direct and indirect costs, generally without profit. The description of the Transition Services Agreement set forth under this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Transition Services Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Tax Matters Agreement

On October 31, 2018, Trinity and Arcosa entered into a Tax Matters Agreement which governs Trinity's and Arcosa's respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Distribution with respect to tax liabilities and benefits (including taxes arising in the ordinary course of business and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the Distribution or certain related transactions to qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes), tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes. The description of the Tax Matters Agreement set forth under this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Tax Matters Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.

The description of the Intellectual Property Agreement set forth under this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Intellectual Property Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4.

Credit Facility with JPMorgan

On November 1, 2018, Trinity entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Trinity, as borrower, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JP Morgan”), as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, and SunTrust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-documentation agents. The Credit Agreement replaces Trinity’s existing credit agreement, dated as of May 20, 2015 (as amended from time to time, the "Prior Credit Agreement").


The Credit Agreement provides for a $450.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit with a maturity date of November 1, 2023. The Credit Agreement includes a $100.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”). Trinity may also increase the amount of the commitments under the Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount not to exceed $200.0 million, subject to certain conditions including the agreement of existing Lenders to increase their commitments or by obtaining commitments from one or more new Lenders.

On November 1, 2018, there were no outstanding loans borrowed under the Credit Agreement and there was approximately $57.4 million in Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement. The interest rates under the facilities are variable based on LIBOR or an alternate base rate at the time of the borrowing and Trinity’s leverage as measured by a consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio, and initially are set at LIBOR plus 1.25%. A commitment fee will accrue on the average daily unused portion of the revolving facility at the rate of 0.175% to 0.30%, initially set at 0.175%.

Following the Separation, the following subsidiaries of Trinity constituted Material Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement): Trinity Highway Products, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Highway Products”), Trinity Industries Leasing Company, a Delaware corporation, Trinity Rail Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Trinity Tank Car, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Trinity North American Freight Car, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”).  In connection with the Credit Agreement, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors unconditionally guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, pursuant to the terms of an Amended and Restated Subsidiary Guaranty dated November 1, 2018 (the “Credit Agreement Guaranty”). Further, in connection with the Credit Agreement, each of the following former subsidiaries of Trinity (which, as of November 1, 2018, were wholly owned subsidiaries of Arcosa) was released as a guarantor under the Prior Credit Agreement:  Trinity Structural Towers, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Meyer Utility Structures, LLC (formerly known as Trinity Meyer Utility Structures, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company, and Trinity Marine Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Released Guarantors”).

The description of the Credit Agreement set forth under this Item 1.01 does not purport to be complete and   is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Additional Notes Guarantee and Fourth Supplemental Indenture

Trinity is party to the Senior Notes Indenture dated as of September 25, 2014, among Trinity, the Subsidiary Guarantors from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 25, 2014, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 24, 2015, and the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 20, 2017 (collectively, the “Indenture”), pursuant to which Trinity issued its 4.450% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). The Indenture provides that each subsidiary of Trinity that is a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Credit Agreement Guaranty must also become a guarantor under the Indenture and unconditionally guarantee the obligations of Trinity on the Notes.  Highway Products was required to join the Credit Agreement Guaranty as a new Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with the Credit Agreement.  Accordingly, Highway Products, Trinity and Trustee entered into a Fourth Supplemental Indenture to the Indenture dated November 1, 2018, pursuant to which Highway Products unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of Trinity under the Indenture and the Notes.

Release of Guarantors under Indenture

The Indenture further provides that the guarantee of a guarantor under the Indenture will be automatically and unconditionally released in the event that the guarantor is no longer a guarantor under the Credit Agreement.   As a result of Trinity’s entry into the Credit Agreement, each of the Released Guarantors was automatically released from its guarantee under the Indenture because the Released Guarantors are no longer guarantors of the Credit Agreement.

Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Effective as of 12:01 a.m. local New York City time on November 1, 2018 (the "Distribution Date"), Trinity completed the Separation and the pro rata distribution to holders of record of Trinity common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as of 5:00 p.m. local New York City time on October 17, 2018 (the "Record Date"), of one share of Arcosa common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for every three shares of Trinity common stock held by such Trinity stockholders as of the Record Date (the "Distribution"). Arcosa is now an independent public company and commenced trading "regular way" under the symbol "ACA" on the New York Stock Exchange on the Distribution Date. Trinity did not issue fractional shares of Arcosa’s common stock in the Distribution. Trinity stockholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares.  Following the Distribution, Trinity does not beneficially own any shares of Arcosa common stock and will no longer consolidate Arcosa within its financial results.


Item 2.03.

The information set forth in the section referred to as “Credit Facility with JPMorgan” in Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference herein.

In connection with the Distribution, Mary E.

Prior to his tenure at Dean Foods, he served as Vice President - Internal Audit at Centex Corporation.  Mr. McDowell does not have any related person transactions with Trinity reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Effective as of the Distribution Date, the bylaws of Trinity were amended (the “By-Laws Amendment”) to change the size of the Board of Directors of Trinity from ten (10) directors to eight (8) directors.

24

(e)            Until the two year anniversary of this Agreement, if either Party determines that it (or any member of its Group) owns any Asset that was allocated by the terms of this Agreement to be Transferred to the other Party at the Effective Time or that is agreed by such Party and the other Party in their good faith judgment to be an Asset that more properly belongs to the other Party or an Asset that such other Party or Subsidiary was intended to have the right to continue to use, then the Party owning such Asset shall as applicable (i) Transfer any such Asset to the Party (or relevant member of its Group) identified as the appropriate transferee and following such Transfer, such Asset shall be an Arcosa Asset or Trinity Asset, as the case may be, or (ii) grant such mutually agreeable rights with respect to such Asset to permit such continued use, subject to, and consistent with this Agreement, including with respect to assumption of associated Liabilities.  In connection with such Transfer, the receiving party shall assume all Liabilities related to such Asset.
 
(f)            After the Effective Time, each Party (or any member of its Group) may receive mail, packages and other communications properly belonging to the other Party (or any member of its Group).

The provisions of this Section 2.6(f) are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute an authorization by any Party (or any member of its Group) to permit the other to accept service of process on its (or its members') behalf and no Party (or any member of its Group) is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other Party (or any member of its Group) for service of process purposes.
 
(g)            For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.6 shall apply to Shared Contracts, which shall be governed by Section 2.8 .
 
Section 2.7            Transfer Documents . In connection with, and in furtherance of, the Transfers of Assets and the acceptance and assumptions of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall execute or cause to be executed, at or prior to the Effective Time, or after the Effective Time with respect to Section 2.6 , by the appropriate entities, the Transfer Documents necessary to evidence the valid and effective assumption by the applicable Party (or any member of its Group) of its assumed Liabilities, and the valid Transfer to the applicable Party (or any member of its Group) of all rights, titles and interests in and to its accepted Assets, including the transfer of real property with quit claim deeds, as may be appropriate.

Section 4.2            Fractional Shares .  Trinity stockholders who, after aggregating the number of shares of Arcosa Common Stock (or fractions thereof) to which such stockholder would be entitled on the Record Date, would be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Arcosa Common Stock in the Distribution, will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.  Fractional shares of Arcosa Common Stock will not be distributed in the Distribution nor credited to book-entry accounts.  The Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date (a) determine the number of whole shares and fractional shares of Arcosa Common Stock allocable to each other holder of record or beneficial owner of Trinity Common Stock as of close of business on the Record Date, (b) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby in open market transactions at then prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests, and (c) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each such beneficial owner, such holder's or owner's ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per share of Arcosa Common Stock after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for United States federal income tax purposes.  Arcosa shall bear the cost of brokerage fees and transfer taxes incurred in connection with these sales of fractional shares, which such sales shall occur as soon after the Distribution Date as practicable and as determined by the Agent.  None of Trinity, Arcosa or the applicable Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional shares of Arcosa Common Stock.  Neither Trinity nor Arcosa will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares.  The Agent will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares.  Neither the Agent nor the selected broker-dealers will be Affiliates of Trinity or Arcosa.

(d)            Nothing in this Section 4.3 shall be deemed, by itself, to create a Liability of Trinity for any portion of the Registration Statement.
 
Section 4.4            Sole Discretion of Trinity .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, Trinity shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine the Distribution Date and all terms of the Distribution, including the form, structure and terms of any transactions to effect the Distribution and the timing of and conditions to the consummation thereof.  In addition, Trinity may, in accordance with Section 10.10 , at any time prior to the Distribution Date and from time to time until the completion of the Distribution decide to abandon the Distribution or modify or change the terms of the Distribution, including by accelerating or delaying the timing of the consummation of all or part of the Distribution.  None of Arcosa, any other member of the Arcosa Group, any Arcosa Group Employee or any Third Party shall have any right or claim to require the consummation of the Separation or the Distribution, each of which shall be effected at the sole discretion of the Trinity Board.

(b)            The conditions set forth in this Section 4.5 are for the sole benefit of Trinity and shall not give rise to or create any duty on the part of Trinity or the Trinity Board to waive or not waive any such condition.  Any determination made by Trinity prior to the Distribution concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any or all of the conditions set forth in this Section 4.5 shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties hereto.

Section 5.4            Certain Non-Competition Provisions.
 
(a)            As an essential consideration for the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, and in contemplation of the consummation of the Separation and the Distribution, each of Trinity and Arcosa hereby agrees that, from the date hereof until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Distribution Date (the " Non-Compete Period "), such party shall not, and it shall cause each other member of its respective Group not to, directly or indirectly own, invest in, operate, manage, control, participate or engage in any Prohibited Business.  "Prohibited Business" means (i) with respect to any member of the Trinity Group, the Arcosa Business as conducted immediately following the Effective Time; and (ii) with respect to any member of the Arcosa Group, the Trinity Business as conducted immediately following the Effective Time; provided , that nothing in this Section 5.4 shall prohibit the ownership by Trinity or Arcosa, as the case may be, or any member of its Group, of debt, equity or other class of securities of any Person that owns, invests in, operates, manages, controls, participates or engages directly or indirectly in a Prohibited Business, provided ownership of such securities (either directly, indirectly or upon conversion) is less than five percent (5%) of such class of securities of such Person. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall prohibit the Arcosa Group or the Trinity Group from manufacturing, selling or distributing rail car parts and components except as provided on Schedule 5.4 . Also, nothing in this Section 5.4 shall prohibit the Arcosa Group from manufacturing and selling in Mexico products of the type roll formed manufactured by the Formet business division of Trinity Industries de Mexico prior to the Effective Time.  During the Non-Compete Period, without the prior written consent of Trinity, the Arcosa Group shall not enter into a merger, acquisition, consolidation or other business combination with another Person that engages in manufacturing and selling products of the type roll formed manufactured by the Formet business division of Trinity Industries de Mexico prior to the Effective Time.
 
39

(b)            In the event that a merger, acquisition, consolidation or other business combination with another Person that directly or indirectly owns, invests in, operates, manages, controls, participates or engages in a Prohibited Business results in Trinity or Arcosa, as the case may be, directly or indirectly owning, investing in, operating, managing, controlling, participating or engaging in a Prohibited Business in breach of Section 5.4(a) at the time of such transaction, the parties to such transaction shall have a period of 365 days from the date of the closing or consummation of such transaction to cure (by divestiture or otherwise, including, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that such 365-day cure period extends beyond the expiration of the Non-Compete Period) such failure before the parties are deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.4 .
 
(c)            It is the intention of each of the Parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained in this Section 5.4 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time that is not permitted by applicable Law, or is in any way construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall be construed and interpreted or reformed by a court of competent jurisdiction to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained in this Section 5.4 ) as shall be valid and enforceable under such Law. Each of Arcosa and Trinity acknowledges that any breach of the terms, conditions or covenants set forth in this Section 5.4 shall be competitively unfair and may cause irreparable damage to the other Party because of the special, unique, unusual and extraordinary character of the business of the Trinity Group and the Arcosa Group, respectively, and the recovery of damages at Law will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that for any breach of the terms, covenants or agreements of this Section 5.4 , a restraining order or an injunction or both may be issued against the breaching Party, in addition to any other rights or remedies a non-breaching Party may have.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnified Party or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 6.4 shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article VI , except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
 
43

(b)            An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice who is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim (x) is a Proceeding by a Governmental Authority, (y) involves an allegation of a criminal violation or (z) seeks injunctive relief against the Indemnified Party.  In the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party as required by the applicable rules of professional conduct with respect to such matter.  If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake any such defense at its own expense, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all witnesses, pertinent Records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party's possession or under the Indemnified Party's control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party.  Similarly, if the Indemnified Party is conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all witnesses, pertinent Records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party's possession or under the Indemnifying Party's control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnified Party.
 
(c)            If, in such notice, an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election as provided in Section 6.4(b) , such Indemnified Party may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party may at any time thereafter assume the defense of such Third Party Claim upon notice to the Indemnified Party (but the reasonable cost and expense incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Third Party Claim until such date as the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Third Party Claim shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party).
 
(d)            The Indemnified Party may not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
 
(e)            The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise or settle a Third Party Claim the defense of which it shall have assumed pursuant to Section 6.4(b) or Section 6.4(c) and any such settlement or compromise made or caused to be made of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Article VI shall be binding on the Indemnified Party, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement (A) completely and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party in connection with such matter, (B) consists solely of monetary consideration borne by a Person other than the Indemnified Party, and (C) does not involve any admission by the Indemnified Party of any wrongdoing or violation of Law.
 
44

(f)            In the event of Proceedings in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant, if at all practicable and advisable under the circumstances.  If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Proceedings as set forth in this Article VI .
 
(g)            With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both the Arcosa Group and the Trinity Group in a material fashion due to the allocation of Liabilities or potential impact on the operation of the Trinity Business or Arcosa Business, responsibilities for management of defense, and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve for the relevant members of the Arcosa Group and Trinity Group the attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect thereto).  The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of such Third Party Claims shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, retain counsel to assist in the defense of such claims (at such Party's own expense).
 
Section 6.5            Indemnification Payments .  Indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss is incurred.
 
Section 6.6            Survival of Indemnities .  The rights and obligations of each of Trinity and Arcosa and their respective Indemnified Parties under this Article VI shall survive (i) the sale or other transfer by any Group of any of its Assets or Businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities, and (ii) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of all or substantially all of the Assets, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of its Subsidiaries.
 
Section 6.7            Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts; Contribution .
 
(a)            Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts .
 
(i)           The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of any indemnifiable Liability.  Accordingly, the amount which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to any Indemnified Party shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts theretofore actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of the related Liability.  If an Indemnified Party receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability (an " Indemnity Payment ") and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of the related Liability, then the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

45

(ii)          Any Indemnity Payment shall be increased as necessary so that after making all payments corresponding to Taxes imposed on or attributable to such Indemnity Payment, the Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.
 
(b)            Insurers and Other Third Parties Not Relieved .  The Parties hereby agree that an insurer or other Third Party that would otherwise be obligated to pay any amount shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a "windfall" (e.g., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification or release provisions) by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.  Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification may be available under this Article VI .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Proceeding to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnified Party need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
 
(c)            Contribution .  If the indemnification provided for in this Article VI is unavailable for any reason to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with this Section 6.7(c) , contribute to the Indemnifiable Losses incurred, paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Arcosa and each other member of the Arcosa Group, on the one hand, and Trinity and each other member of the Trinity Group, on the other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss.
 
Section 6.8            Direct Claims .  An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of any matter that an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (other than a Third Party Claim which shall be governed by Section 6.4 ) within thirty (30) days of such determination, stating the claimed or asserted amount of the Indemnifiable Loss and method of computation thereof, if known, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnified Party or arises; provided , however , that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.
 
46

49

(b)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information if they exercise at least the same degree of care that Trinity exercises and applies to its confidential and proprietary information pursuant to Trinity's policies and procedures in effect as of the Effective Time and (ii) confidentiality obligations provided for in any Contract between each Party or its Subsidiaries and their respective employees shall remain in full force and effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Confidential Information of any Party in the possession of and used by any other Party as of the Effective Time may continue to be used by such Party in possession of the Confidential Information in and only in (and only to the extent reasonably necessary to) the operation of the Arcosa Business (in the case of the Arcosa Group) or the Trinity Business (in the case of the Trinity Group); provided , however , such Confidential Information may be used only so long as the Confidential Information is maintained in confidence in accordance with, and not disclosed in violation of, Section 7.5(a) .

(a)            Pre-Separation Services .  The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services (including, but not limited to, services rendered by legal counsel retained or employed by any Party (or any member of such Party's respective Group), including outside counsel and in-house counsel) that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the Trinity Group and the Arcosa Group, and that each of the members of the Trinity Group and the Arcosa Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such pre-separation services for the purposes of asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law; provided , however , that members of the Arcosa Group shall not be deemed the client with respect to pre-separation services that relate solely to the Trinity Business, and members of the Arcosa Group may not assert privilege with respect to pre-separation services that relate solely to the Trinity Business.
 
(b)            Post-Separation Services .  The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Effective Time which will be rendered solely for the benefit of Trinity or Arcosa or their successors or assigns, as the case may be.  With respect to such post-separation services, the Parties agree as follows:
 
(i)           Trinity shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the Trinity Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of Trinity or Arcosa.  Trinity shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Trinity Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by Trinity, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of Trinity or Arcosa or their successors or assigns; and

(ii)          Arcosa shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information which relates solely to the Arcosa Business, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of Trinity or Arcosa or their successors or assigns.  Arcosa shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges in connection with privileged information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Arcosa Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by Arcosa, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of Trinity or Arcosa or their successors or assigns.
 
(c)            The Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege, subject to the restrictions in this Section 7.6 , with respect to all privileges not allocated pursuant to the terms of Section 7.6(a) or Section 7.6(b) and all privileges relating to any Proceedings or other matters which involve both Trinity and Arcosa (or one or more members of their respective Groups) in respect of which both Parties retain any responsibility or Liability under this Agreement.
 
(d)            No Party may disclose to any Third Party any privileged communications that could be withheld under any applicable Law, and in which any other Party has a shared privilege, without the consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or as provided in clause (e) or (f) below.  Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be granted unless written objection is made within twenty (20) days after notice upon the other Party requesting such consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Trinity determines, in its sole discretion, that waiver of a shared privilege for purposes of disclosing information to a government enforcement agency is in the best interest of Trinity or any member of the Trinity Group, Trinity shall have the right to waive any shared privilege without the consent of Arcosa or any member of the Arcosa Group.  In the event Trinity intends to waive any shared privilege, Trinity shall give reasonable advance written notice of its intent to waive the shared privilege to Arcosa.  No restriction contained in Section 7.4 or Section 7.6(g) shall limit in any way Trinity's right to waive any shared privilege pursuant to this Section 7.6(d) .
 
51

(e)            In the event of any litigation, arbitration or dispute between or among any of the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either such Party may disclose privileged communications to the other Party or member of such Party's Group so long as the privileged communications are subject to a shared privilege among or between the Parties; provided , however , that such disclosure of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the litigation, arbitration or dispute between the relevant Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to third parties.
 
(f)            If a dispute arises between or among the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries regarding whether a privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of any Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate and shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Parties, and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by another Party.  Each Party specifically agrees that it will not withhold consent to waiver for any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.
 
(g)            Upon receipt by any Party or by any Subsidiary thereof of any subpoena, discovery or other request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of information subject to a shared privilege or as to which another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege, or if any Party obtains knowledge that any of its or any of its Subsidiaries' current or former directors, officers, consultants, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of such privileged information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party or Parties of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party or Parties a reasonable opportunity to review the information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 7.6 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such privileged information.
 
(h)            The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Trinity and Arcosa, as set forth in Section 7.5 and this Section 7.6 , to maintain the confidentiality of privileged information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges.  The access to information being granted pursuant to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 hereof, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by this Section 7.6 , and the transfer of privileged information between and among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.
 
52

Section 7.7            Ownership of Information .  Any information owned by one Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this Article VII or Section 5.2 shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party.  Unless specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such information.
 
Section 7.8            Other Agreements .  The rights and obligations granted under this Article VII are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of information, or privileged matter with respect thereto, set forth in any Ancillary Agreement.
 
Section 7.9            Compensation for Providing Information .  A Party requesting Information pursuant to this Article VII agrees to reimburse the providing Party for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of gathering, copying and otherwise complying with respect to such Information (including any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in any review of Information for purposes of protecting any privilege thereunder or any other restrictions on the disclosure of such Information); provided , however , that each Party shall be responsible for its own attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

The mediation shall be held in Dallas, Texas. The Parties shall have twenty (20) days from receipt by a Party of a Mediation Notice to agree on a mediator. If no mediator has been agreed upon by the Parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by a party of a Mediation Notice, then a Party may request (on written notice to the other Party), that CPR appoint a mediator in accordance with the CPR Mediation Procedure.  All mediation pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence, and no oral or documentary representations made by the Parties during such mediation shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings. No Party shall disclose or permit the disclosure of any information about the evidence adduced or the documents produced by the other Party in the mediation proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of the mediation without the prior written consent of such other Party, except in the course of a judicial or regulatory proceeding or as may be required by Law or requested by a Governmental Authority or securities exchange.  Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, give the other Party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford the other Party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests.
 
Section 8.3            Arbitration .  If the Agreement Dispute has not been resolved for any reason within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator in accordance with Section 8.2 , or within ninety (90) days after receipt by a Party of a Mediation Notice (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the Parties may agree in writing, then such Agreement Dispute (i) shall, if the amount disputed in good faith is less than $25,000,000, or (ii) may (by mutual written agreement between the Parties) if the amount disputed in good faith is equal to or greater than $25,000,000, be exclusively and finally determined, at the request of any relevant Party, by arbitration (by an arbitral tribunal as provided for in Section 8.4 ) conducted where the Parties agree it would be most convenient, and in the absence of agreement in Dallas, Texas, before and in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (" AAA ") Commercial Arbitration Rules then currently in effect, except as modified herein (the " Rules ").
 
54

Section 8.4            Selection of Arbitrators .  There shall be three arbitrators.  Each Party shall appoint an arbitrator within twenty (20) days of a Party's receipt of a Party's demand for arbitration.  The two Party-appointed arbitrators shall have twenty (20) days from the appointment of the second arbitrator to agree on a third arbitrator who shall chair the arbitral tribunal.  Any arbitrator not timely appointed by the Parties shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing and ranking method in the Rules, and in any such procedure, each Party shall be given a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.  If any appointed arbitrator declines, resigns, becomes incapacitated, or otherwise refuses or fails to serve or to continue to serve as an arbitrator, the Party or arbitrators entitled to appoint such arbitrator shall promptly appoint a successor.  In the event that an arbitrator is objected to, the AAA shall decide whether such objection is valid and whether the challenged arbitrator shall be removed.  Any controversy concerning the jurisdiction of the arbitrators, whether the subject matter of an Agreement Dispute is suitable for resolution by arbitration, whether arbitration has been waived, whether an assignee of this Agreement is bound to arbitrate, or as to the interpretation of enforceability of this Article VIII shall be determined by the arbitrators.

Section 8.7            Confidentiality of Proceedings .  Without limiting the provisions of the Rules, unless otherwise agreed in writing by or among the relevant Parties or permitted by this Agreement or as may be required by law or any regulatory authority, the relevant Parties shall keep, and shall cause the members of their applicable Group to keep, confidential all matters relating to the arbitration or the award.  The arbitral award shall be confidential; provided , however , that such award may be disclosed (i) to the extent reasonably necessary in any proceeding brought to enforce this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award or for entry of a judgment upon the award and (ii) to the extent otherwise required by Law or regulatory authority.
 
55

Section 8.8            Pre-Hearing Procedure and Disposition .  Nothing contained herein is intended to or shall be construed to prevent any Party, from applying to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive or other similar equitable relief in connection with the subject matter of any Agreement Disputes, including to compel a party to arbitrate any Agreement Dispute, to prevent irreparable harm prior to the appointment of the arbitral tribunal or to require witnesses to obey subpoenas issued by the arbitrators.  Without prejudice to such equitable remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal's orders to that effect. The Parties agree to accept and honor any orders relating to interim or provisional remedies that are issued by the arbitrators and agree that any such interim order or remedy may be enforced, as necessary, in any court of competent jurisdiction.
 
Section 8.9            Continuity of Service and Performance .  During the course of resolving an Agreement Dispute pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII , the Parties will continue to provide all other services and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement with respect to all matters not the subject of the Agreement Dispute in arbitration.
 
Section 8.10          Awards .  The arbitrators shall make an award and issue a reasoned opinion in writing setting forth the basis for such award within 30 days following the close of the hearing on the merits, or a soon thereafter as practicable.  The arbitrators shall be entitled, if appropriate, to award any remedy in such proceedings that is permitted under this Agreement and applicable Law, including monetary damages, specific performance and other forms of legal and equitable relief.  The Parties hereby waive any claim to exemplary, punitive, multiple or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages, attorneys' fees, costs and expenses of arbitration, except as may be expressly required by statute or as necessary to indemnify a Party for a Third Party Claim and the arbitrators are not empowered to and shall not award such damages.  Any final award must provide that the party against whom an award is issued shall comply with the order within a specified period of time, not to exceed 30 days.
 
Section 8.11          Costs .  Provided the amount in dispute is less than $25,000,000, if any Party attempts, unsuccessfully, to prevent an Agreement Dispute from being arbitrated such Party shall reimburse the prevailing party for all costs incurred in compelling arbitration.  Except as otherwise may be provided in any Ancillary Agreement, the costs of arbitration pursuant to this Article VIII shall be borne by the non-prevailing Party as determined by the arbitrator.
 
Section 8.12          Adherence to Time Limits .  In accepting appointment, each of the arbitrators shall commit that his or her schedule permits him or her to devote the reasonably necessary time and attention to the arbitration proceedings and to resolving the Agreement Dispute within the time periods set by this Agreement and by the Rules.  Any time limits set out in this Article VIII or in the Rules may be modified upon written agreement of the Parties and the arbitrators or by order of the arbitrators for good cause shown.  Any failure of the arbitrators to comply with such time limits or to render a final award within the time specified shall not impair the validity of the award or cause the award to be void or voidable, nor shall it be a basis for challenge of the validity or enforceability of the award or of the arbitration proceedings.

Section 9.2            General Liability Policies to be Maintained by Trinity .  Trinity agrees and covenants (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other member of the Trinity Group) that it will procure and maintain at its sole cost and expense, for a period of no less than five (5) years from the Effective Time, annual occurrence-based primary, umbrella and excess liability insurance policies issued by insurers with an A.M. Best Company credit rating of "A" or better or Lloyds rating equivalent and naming Arcosa and its subsidiaries and affiliates, as now or hereafter constituted (the " Arcosa Insureds "), as additional insureds (together, the " Trinity General Liability Policies ").  The Trinity General Liability Policies shall provide such additional insured coverage using ISO Forms CG 20 10 10 01 and CG 20 37 10 01 or substantially similar terms granting additional insured coverage for ongoing and completed operations of the named insured without reference to an extrinsic written agreement.  Such primary policies shall provide no less than $2 million in per occurrence and $4 million in aggregate annual limits.  If such primary policies are subject to a self-insured retention, as distinct from a deductible, such primary policies shall be subject to a per occurrence self-insured retention of no more than $2 million and an aggregate retention of no more than $4 million without Arcosa's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such excess and umbrella policies shall attach immediately above such primary policies and shall provide no less than $100 million in annual limits.  The Trinity General Liability Policies shall otherwise provide coverage with terms and conditions at least as favorable as Trinity's primary umbrella and excess liability policies in place as of the Effective Time. It is the intention of the Parties that the Trinity General Liability Policies shall act as primary insurance with respect to any claims asserted against Trinity and/or Arcosa that arise out of the Trinity Liabilities with an occurrence date after the Effective Time, and the Trinity General Liability Policies shall expressly provide that they act as primary insurance with respect to any such claims.  The Trinity General Liability Policies shall provide that such policies shall not be canceled without first giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to Arcosa.  Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Time and annually thereafter, Trinity will provide Arcosa with certificates of insurance evidencing compliance with this Section 9.2 (including evidence of renewal of insurance) signed by authorized representatives of the respective carrier(s).  Upon Arcosa's request, Trinity will provide Arcosa reasonable access to all insurance documents for purposes of verifying Trinity's compliance with this Section 9.2 .  The Trinity General Liability Policies shall include full waivers of subrogation in favor of Arcosa and its subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, agents, servants, and employees.  In the event of a claim, occurrence or suit relating to any Arcosa Insured and arising out of the Trinity Liabilities, Trinity will cooperate with Arcosa in the provision of notice and the pursuit of coverage under the Trinity General Liability Policies.

59

(b)            With respect to all Third Party Shared Policies, Arcosa agrees and covenants (on behalf of itself and each other member of the Arcosa Group, and each other Affiliate of Arcosa) not to make any claim or assert any rights against Trinity and any other member of the Trinity Group, or the unaffiliated Third Party insurers of such Third Party Shared Policies, except as expressly provided under this Section 9.8 .

(a)            Administration .  With respect to (1) all claims under any Trinity insurance policies existing prior to the Effective Time and relating to the Arcosa Business; and (2) claims under any Third Party Shared Policies, from and after the Effective Time, Trinity or a member of the Trinity Group shall be responsible for the Insurance Administration and Claims Administration of such claims; provided , however , that the retention of such administrative responsibilities by Trinity or a member of the Trinity Group is in no way intended to limit, inhibit or preclude any right to insurance coverage for any Insured Claim of a named insured under such Third Party Shared Policies as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement; provided , further , that the retention of such administrative responsibilities by Trinity or a member of the Trinity Group shall not relieve the Person submitting any Insured Claim of the responsibility for reporting such Insured Claim accurately, completely and in a timely manner. At its discretion, and in accordance with the terms of the Third Party Shared Policies, Trinity may discharge its administrative responsibilities with respect to such Third Party Shared Policies by contracting for the provision of administrative services to any unaffiliated Person, including, after the Effective Time, Arcosa or any of its Affiliates. Trinity will use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the appropriate member of the Arcosa Group of any such discharge. Arcosa shall reimburse Trinity for any costs incurred by Trinity related to Insurance Administration and Claims Administration to the extent such costs (which include defense, out-of-pocket expenses, and direct and indirect costs of employees or agents of Trinity providing the administrative services) are (i) not covered or paid under the Third Party Shared Policies, including as a result of any deductible or self-insured retention under the Third Party Shared Policies, and (ii) related to Arcosa Liabilities. Trinity or any member of the Trinity Group shall not settle any Insured Claim of Arcosa or any member of Arcosa Group under the Third Party Shared Policies without first obtaining the approval of Arcosa or such member of Arcosa Group. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
 
(b)            Access To Policy Limits .
 
(i)           Where Arcosa Liabilities are specifically covered under a Third Party Shared Policy for periods prior to the Effective Time, or where such Third Party Shared Policy covers claims made after the Effective Time with respect to an insured event taking place prior to the Effective Time, then from and after the Effective Time, Arcosa may claim coverage for Insured Claims under such Third Party Shared Policy as and to the extent that such insurance is available up to the full extent of the available applicable limits of such Third Party Shared Policy (and may receive any Insurance Proceeds with respect thereto as contemplated by Section 9.9(d) ), subject to the terms of this Section 9.9 .

60

(ii)         Where Trinity Liabilities are specifically covered under a Third Party Shared Policy for periods prior to the Effective Time, or where such Third Party Shared Policy covers claims made after the Effective Time with respect to an insured event taking place prior to the Effective Time, then from and after the Effective Time, Trinity may claim coverage for Insured Claims under such Third Party Shared Policy as and to the extent that such insurance is available up to the full extent of the available applicable limits of such Third Party Shared Policy (and may receive any Insurance Proceeds with respect thereto as contemplated by Section 9.9(d) ), subject to the terms of this Section 9.9 .
 
(c)            Claims Not Reimbursed .  Except as set forth in this Section 9.9 , Trinity and Arcosa shall not be liable to one another (nor shall any member of the Trinity Group be liable to any member of the Arcosa Group) for claims, or portions of claims, not reimbursed by insurers under any Third Party Shared Policy for any reason, including coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of any insurance carrier(s), Third Party Shared Policy limitations or restrictions, any coverage disputes, any failure to timely file a claim by Trinity or Arcosa (or any of the members of their respective Groups), or any defect in such claim or its processing. The liability of Trinity and Arcosa to one another for such claims is expressly limited to the amount of Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such claims and allocated to the respective Parties in accordance with Section 9.9(d) and Section 9.9(e) . It is expressly understood that the foregoing provisions in this Section 9.9(c) shall not limit any Party's liability to any other Party for indemnification pursuant to Article VI .
 
(d)            Allocation of Insurance Proceeds . Insurance Proceeds received with respect to claims, costs   and expenses under the Third Party Shared Policies shall be paid to or on behalf of Trinity under the relevant Third Party Shared Policy, and Trinity shall thereafter administer the Third Party Shared Policies, as appropriate, by retaining the Insurance Proceeds with respect to Trinity Liabilities, and by paying the Insurance Proceeds to Arcosa with respect to Arcosa Liabilities. In the event that the aggregate limits on any Third Party Shared Policies are exceeded by the aggregate of outstanding Insured Claims by the Parties or members of their respective Groups, the Parties agree to allocate the Insurance Proceeds received thereunder based upon their respective percentage of the total of their bona fide claims which would have been covered under such Third Party Shared Policy without regard to the limits of such Third Party Shared Policy, and any Party who has received Insurance Proceeds in excess of such Party's respective percentage of Insurance Proceeds shall pay to the other Party the appropriate amount so that each Party will have received its respective percentage of Insurance Proceeds pursuant hereto. Each of the Parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize available coverage under those Third Party Shared Policies applicable to it, and to take all commercially reasonable steps to recover from all responsible third parties, other than the Trinity Indemnified Parties and the Arcosa Indemnified Parties, in respect of an Insured Claim to the extent coverage limits under a Third Party Shared Policy have been exceeded or would be exceeded as a result of such Insured Claim; provided , however , that any allocation of Insurance Proceeds shall be made net of any recovery, whenever obtained, from such other responsible third parties.
 
61

(e)            Allocation of Deductibles .  In the event that the Parties or members of their respective Groups have bona fide claims under any Third Party Shared Policy arising from the same occurrence and for which a deductible is payable, the Parties agree that the aggregate amount of the deductible paid shall be borne by the Parties in the same proportion which the Insurance Proceeds received by each such Party bears to the total Insurance Proceeds received under the applicable Third Party Shared Policy pursuant to Section 9.9(d) , and any Party who has paid more than such allocable share of the deductible shall be entitled to receive from the other Party an appropriate amount so that each Party has borne its allocable share of the deductible pursuant hereto.
 
Section 9.10          Agreement for Waiver of Conflict and Shared Defense .  In the event that Insured Claims of more than one of the Parties exist relating to the same events or related events, to the extent reasonably possible, the Parties shall jointly defend and waive any conflict of interest necessary to the conduct of the joint defense. Nothing in this Article IX shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those created by this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise.
 
Section 9.11          Cooperation .  The Parties agree to use (and cause the members in their respective Groups to use) their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with respect to the various insurance matters contemplated by this Article IX .
 
Section 9.12          Miscellaneous .  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict Arcosa or Trinity, or any members of their respective Groups, from acquiring at its own expense any insurance policy in respect of any Liabilities or covering any period. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, Arcosa and Trinity shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining their respective insurance programs for their respective risk of loss and such insurance arrangements shall be separate programs apart from each other, and each of Arcosa and Trinity shall be responsible for all aspects of its own such insurance program. Notwithstanding Section 9.1 , Arcosa acknowledges and agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other member of the Arcosa Group) that Trinity has provided to Arcosa prior to the Effective Time all information necessary for Arcosa or the appropriate member of the Arcosa Group to obtain such insurance policies and insurance programs as Arcosa or the appropriate member of the Arcosa Group, in its sole judgment and discretion, deems necessary to cover any and all risk of loss related to the Arcosa Business.

This TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT, dated as of October 31, 2018 (this “ Agreement ”), is by and between Trinity Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Trinity ”), and Arcosa, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Arcosa ”).  Each of Trinity and Arcosa is sometimes referred to as a “ Party ” and collectively are sometimes referred to as the “ Parties. ”  All capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Separation and Distribution Agreement (defined below).
 
RECITALS
 
WHEREAS, Trinity and Arcosa have entered into that certain Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2018 (the “ Separation and Distribution Agreement ”), pursuant to which, in accordance with the Internal Reorganization, Trinity was separated into two separate, independent, publicly-traded companies; (i) one comprising the Arcosa Business, which is owned and conducted directly or indirectly by Arcosa, all of the common stock of which was distributed to the Trinity stockholders, and (ii) one comprising the Trinity Business, which continues to be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Trinity, all on the terms and conditions set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement; and
 
WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, each of Trinity and Arcosa agreed to provide to the other certain services during a transition period commencing as of the Effective Time, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth hereafter, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I

AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE AND ACCEPT SERVICES
 
Section 1.01       Provision of Services .
 
(a)        On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement and on the attached schedules (each a “ Schedule ” and collectively the “ Schedules ”) Trinity or Arcosa, as applicable, shall provide, or shall cause its Subsidiaries, Affiliates or Third Parties designated by it (such designated Subsidiaries, Affiliates and Third Parties, together with Trinity or Arcosa, as applicable, in its role as a service provider, referred to singly as a “ Service Provider ” and collectively as the “ Service Providers ”) to provide to the Arcosa Group or the Trinity Group, as applicable (the members of each such group in their role as a service recipient referred to singly as a “ Service Recipient ” and collectively as the “ Service Recipients ”) the services set forth on the Schedules (each a “ Service ” and collectively the “ Services ”).
 
(b)        Trinity or Arcosa, as applicable, in its role as Service Provider, shall make, in its sole discretion, any decisions as to which of the Service Providers (including the decisions to use Third Parties as designee Service Providers) shall provide the Services, provided that Trinity or Arcosa, as applicable, shall remain liable for the acts and omissions of Services Providers designated by it.


(c)        Each Service shall be provided in exchange for the consideration set forth with respect to such Service on the applicable Schedule.
 
(d)        If, within ninety (90) days following the Effective Time, a Service Recipient identifies a service that a Service Provider provided to it at any time during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Effective Time, and such service is not reflected on the Schedules or in any other Ancillary Agreements and is reasonably required by the Service Recipient in order to continue to operate the Arcosa Business or the Trinity Business, as applicable, in substantially the same manner in which the Arcosa Business or the Trinity Business, as applicable, was operated prior to the Effective Time, the Service Recipient may request that the Service Provider provide, or cause to be provided, such requested services (such additional service, an “ Additional Service ”).  The Service Provider shall negotiate with the Service Recipient to provide, or to cause to be provided, such requested Additional Service on commercially reasonable terms consistent with the principles underlying the service terms of the Services. In the event that the Parties reach an agreement with respect to providing such Additional Services, the Parties shall amend the applicable Schedules in writing to include such Additional Services (including the incremental Fees and term with respect to such Additional Services), and such Additional Services shall be deemed Services under this Agreement from the date of such amendment.
 
Section 1.02       Migration .  It is anticipated that the Service Recipients may request additional transition services projects, beyond the Services contemplated herein, relating to the migration of the Services from the Service Provider’s environment or facilities to Service Recipient’s (or its designee’s) environment or facilities, and the Service Provider will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Service Recipients with respect to such projects.  All such transition service projects shall be completed, and Service Provider shall have no further obligation to cooperate in connection therewith, as of the expiration of the term of the Service as set forth in the applicable Schedule.  The applicable Service Recipient shall reimburse the Service Providers for all costs and expenses (including the cost of employee time) incurred by such Service Providers in connection with such cooperation.
 
Section 1.03       Reliance .  The Service Providers shall be entitled to rely upon the genuineness, validity or truthfulness of any document, instrument or other writing presented by the Service Recipients in connection with this Agreement.  No Service Provider shall be liable for any impairment of any Service caused by its not receiving information, either timely or at all, or by its receiving inaccurate or incomplete information from the Service Recipients that is required or reasonably requested regarding that Service, provided that the Service Provider has notified the Service Recipient of the inadequacy of the information and used commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Service despite such inadequacy.
 
2


Section 1.04       Cooperation .

(a)        The Service Providers and the Service Recipients shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries to, cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in matters relating to the provision and receipt of the Services.
 
(b)        The applicable Service Recipient shall (i) make available on a timely basis to the Service Providers all information and materials reasonably requested by such Service Providers to enable such Service Providers to provide the applicable Services; and (ii) provide to the Service Providers reasonable access to the premises of the applicable Service Recipient and any of its Affiliates to the extent necessary for such Service Providers to provide the applicable Services to the Service Recipient; provided that such access shall be subject to the Service Recipient’s applicable policies and procedures that have been provided to the Service Providers.
 
Section 1.05       Disclaimer of Warranty .
 
(a)        EACH OF TRINITY (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH OTHER MEMBER OF THE TRINITY GROUP), AND ARCOSA (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH OTHER MEMBER OF THE ARCOSA GROUP) UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IS REPRESENTING OR WARRANTING IN ANY WAY, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, AS TO THE SERVICES CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AS TO ANY CONSENTS OR GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, AS TO NO INFRINGEMENT, VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OR ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING, ANY ASSETS OR BUSINESS OF SUCH PARTY.  ALL WARRANTIES OF HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES ARISING UNDER THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (OR SIMILAR FOREIGN LAWS), ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.
 
(b)        Each of Trinity (on behalf of itself and each member of the Trinity Group) and Arcosa (on behalf of itself and each member of the Arcosa Group) further understands and agrees that if the disclaimer of express or implied representations and warranties contained in Section 1.05(a) is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason under the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or if, under the Laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, both Trinity or any member of the Trinity Group, on the one hand, and Arcosa or any member of the Arcosa Group, on the other hand, are jointly or severally liable for any Trinity Liability or any Arcosa Liability, respectively, then, the Parties intend that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary under the Laws of such foreign jurisdictions, the provisions of this Agreement (including the disclaimer of all representations and warranties, allocation of Liabilities among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, releases, indemnification and contribution of Liabilities) shall prevail for any and all purposes among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries.
 
Section 1.06       Governance .
 
(a)        Each Party shall designate an individual to serve as an administrative representative for such Party (“ Administrative Representative(s) ”).  The Administrative Representative shall facilitate day-to-day communications and performance under this Agreement.  Each Party must promptly designate a replacement Administrative Representative in the event that its Administrative Representative is no longer employed by a Party or is unable to continue his or her role as an Administrative Representative.
 
3

(b)        For each Schedule of Services, each Party shall designate a contact (each, a “ Service Contact ”), who shall (i) be responsible for providing direct supervision of the Services set forth on such Schedule and (ii) serve as the initial contact for the Administrative Representative for Trinity or Arcosa, as the case may be, for addressing issues related to the delivery of such Services.  Each party shall cause its Service Contact to reply promptly to inquiries related to the delivery of the applicable Services, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following receipt of any such inquiry.  The initial Service Contacts for each Schedule shall be identified and named in the applicable Schedule.  Each Party must promptly designate a replacement Service Contact in the event that a Service Contact is no longer employed by a Party or is unable to continue his or her role as a Service Contact.
 
ARTICLE II

TERMS AND CONDITIONS; PAYMENT
 
Section 2.01       Terms and Conditions of Services .
 
(a)        Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, (i) the Service Providers shall be required to perform the Services using substantially the same quality, efficiency and standard of care as used in performing such Services in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) the Services shall be used by the Service Recipients for substantially the same purposes and in substantially the same time, place and manner as the Services have been used in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided , however , that in no event shall the scope of any of the Services required to be performed hereunder exceed that described on the applicable Schedule.  Each Party shall comply with all Laws applicable to the provision and receipt of Services pursuant to this Agreement.  In no event shall any Service Provider be required to provide any Service that it reasonably believes does not comply with applicable Law.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL NOT OWE ANY FIDUCIARY OR OTHER DUTIES (INCLUDING ANY DUTY OF LOYALTY OR DUTY OF CARE) TO THE SERVICE RECIPIENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
 
(b)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Service Recipient acknowledges that the Service Provider may be providing services similar to the Services it provides for itself and its Affiliates, and the Service Provider reserves the right to modify the Services (i) if such modifications are applicable to all other recipients of the Services or services similar to the Services and (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Law or requirements of Governmental Authorities; provided that the Service Provider provides substantially the same advance notice of such modifications to the Service Recipient as the Service Provider provides to its Affiliates.
 
4

(c)        The Service Recipients shall, and shall cause their applicable Affiliates to, eliminate their need for the provision of each Service by the Service Provider on or before the termination date for such Service as set forth on the applicable Schedule.
 
(d)        Under no circumstances shall any Service Provider be obligated to provide  any service requiring an opinion, advice or representation ( e.g. , legal opinions or advice, or tax opinions or advice).
 
(e)        Any Service Provider shall have the right, consistent with practices immediately prior to the Effective Time, to shut down temporarily for maintenance purposes the operation of the systems or facilities providing any Service whenever, in such Service Provider’s discretion, such action is necessary; provided that such Service Provider shall provide written notice of any such shutdown to the Service Recipient as reasonably in advance of such shutdown as practicable.  Such Service Provider shall be relieved of its obligations to provide the Services affected by such shutdown during the period that its systems or facilities are so shut down but shall use reasonable efforts to minimize each period of shutdown.
 
(f)         Each Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Consents from Third Parties that are necessary in order to provide the Services.  If any such consent is not obtained, such Service Provider shall not be required to provide such Services but shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement a reasonable alternative arrangement to provide the relevant Services.  All costs associated with obtaining such consents shall be borne one-half each by Trinity and Arcosa.  All costs associated with implementing and providing a reasonable alternative arrangement to provide the relevant Services shall be borne by the Service Recipient.
 
Section 2.02       Payments .
 
(a)        Each month, the Service Provider shall deliver a statement to the Service Recipient for Services provided to the Service Recipients during the preceding month, and each such statement shall set forth a brief description of each such Service and the amounts charged for such Service based on the consideration set forth in the applicable Schedule, the Rental Costs (as defined in Section 2.06(b) ) or otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing (the “ Fee ”), as well as any Taxes, duties, imposts, charges, fees or other levies due and owing in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof, and the aggregate of such amounts shall be due and payable by the Service Recipient within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of such statement.
 
(b)        At the Service Provider’s option, any or all of its designee Service Providers may individually invoice a Service Recipient for the Services that such designee Service Provider has provided during the preceding month to such Service Recipient.  Any amounts so invoiced by a designee Service Provider shall not be included on any invoice delivered by the Service Provider.
 
(c)        All invoices shall be denominated and paid in U.S. dollars unless (a) the Service Recipient had, in the twelve (12) months prior to the Effective Date, been invoiced or paid for such Services in a different currency or (b) otherwise indicated on the applicable Schedule, in which case such invoices shall be denominated and paid in such different currency.

5

(d)       Any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the then effective Prime Rate plus 2% (or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower), calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from the date on which such payment was due up to the date of the actual receipt of payment. 
 
(e)        At the Service Recipient’s request, the Service Provider will provide reasonably detailed supporting documentation for the Fees invoiced to the Service Recipient hereunder and will respond promptly to any questions that the Service Recipient may have regarding such documentation and the related Fees.  In the event that the Service Recipient disputes any Fees invoiced hereunder, such Disputes shall be handled in accordance with Section 7.15 .
 
Section 2.03       Taxes .
 
(a)        Except as expressly noted therein, the amounts set forth on the Schedules as the applicable consideration with respect to each Service do not include any Taxes, duties, imposts, charges, fees or other levies of whatever nature assessed on the provision of the Services.  All Taxes, duties, imposts, charges, fees or other levies imposed by applicable Law assessed on the provision of the Services (other than income taxes payable by a Service Provider on the Fees received hereunder) shall be the responsibility of the Service Recipients in addition to the Fees payable by such Service Recipients in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof.  The Service Recipients shall promptly reimburse the Service Providers for any Taxes, duties, imposts, charges, fees or other levies (other than income taxes payable by a Service Provider on the Fees received hereunder) imposed on the Service Providers or which the Service Providers shall have any obligation to collect with respect to or relating to this Agreement or the performance by a Service Provider of its obligations hereunder, along with interest and penalties related thereto to the extent such interest or penalties are related to the actions or inactions of the Service Recipients. Such reimbursement shall be in addition to the amounts required to be paid as set forth on the applicable Schedule and shall be made in accordance with Section 2.02 .  The Service Recipients agree to use reasonable efforts to provide exemption certificates where available and to calculate any applicable sales and use Taxes and to make payment thereof directly to the appropriate taxing authority.
 
(b)        All payments by the Service Recipients under this Agreement shall be made without set-off and without any deduction or withholding for any Taxes, duties, imposts, charges or fees or other levies, unless the obligation to make such deduction or withholding is imposed by Law.  In the event that applicable Law requires that an amount in respect of any Taxes, duties, imposts, charges, fees or other levies be withheld from any payment by the Service Recipients to a Service Provider under this Agreement, the amount payable to the Service Provider shall be increased as necessary so that, after the Service Recipients have withheld amounts required by applicable Law, the Service Provider receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such withholding been required, and the Service Recipients shall withhold such Taxes, duties, imposts, charges, fees or other levies and pay such withheld amounts over to the applicable governmental authority in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Law and provide the Service Provider with a receipt confirming such payment.  The Service Providers shall reasonably cooperate with the Service Recipients to determine whether any such deduction or withholding applies to the payments hereunder, and if so, shall further reasonably cooperate to minimize applicable deduction or withholding.

(a)        The Service Provider may provide the Service Recipients with access to the Service Provider’s or its Affiliates’ computer hardware, computer software and information technology systems, including the data they contain (collectively, “ Networks ”) via a secure method selected by the Service Provider.  The Service Recipients shall only use (and will ensure that their employees, agents and subcontractors only use), and shall only have access to, the Networks for the purpose of receiving, and only to the extent required to receive, the Services.  The Service Recipients shall not permit their employees, agents or subcontractors (collectively, “ Personnel ”) to use or have access to the Networks except to the extent that (i) such Personnel (or such Personnel’s functional equivalent) had access to the Networks prior to the Effective Time, or (ii) the Service Provider has given prior written approval for such access.
 
(b)        The Service Recipients shall cause all of the Service Recipients’ Personnel having access to the Networks in connection with receipt of a Service to comply with all security guidelines (including physical security, network access, internet security, confidentiality and personal data security guidelines) of the Service Provider which the Service Provider provides to the Service Recipients in writing.

(c)        The Service Recipients shall ensure that they and their Personnel shall not: (i) use the Networks to develop software, process data or perform any work or services other than for the purpose of receiving the Services; (ii) break, interrupt, circumvent, adversely affect or attempt to break, interrupt, circumvent or adversely affect any security system or measure of the Service Provider; (iii) obtain, or attempt to obtain, access to any hardware, software or data stored in the Networks except to the extent necessary to receive the Services; or (iv) use, disclose or give access to any part of the Networks to any Third Party, other than their agents and subcontractors authorized by the Service Provider in accordance with this Section 2.05 .  All user identification numbers and passwords for the Networks disclosed to the Service Recipients, and any information obtained from the use of the Networks shall be deemed Confidential Information of the Service Provider for purposes of Section 7.01 .
 
(d)        If a Service Recipient or its Personnel breach any provision of this Section 2.05 , such Service Recipient shall promptly notify the Service Provider of such breach and cooperate as requested by such Service Provider in any investigation and mitigation of such breach.
 
Section 2.06       Facilities Access .
 
(a)        In connection with, and as a part of, the Services set forth on the Facilities Schedule, the Service Provider hereby grants to the Service Recipient a limited right to use and access portions of each of the premises at certain facilities, in each case as listed in the Facilities Schedule (each, a “ Shared Location ” and collectively, the “ Shared Locations ”), for substantially the same purposes as used in the Arcosa Business or the Trinity Business, as applicable, in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Effective Time.
 
7

(b)        For the period indicated on the Facilities Schedule with respect to each Shared  Location (the “ Shared Location Term ”) the Service Recipient shall have the right to use and occupy that portion of the Shared Locations, and to use that portion of the common areas related to the Shared Locations, that the Service Recipient uses and occupies as of the date hereof in substantially the same manner and on the same terms and conditions that the Service Recipient currently uses and occupies such space and, in any event, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.  During the Shared Location Term, with respect to each Shared Location (including all common areas related thereto), all costs relating to such Shared Location, including, rent, maintenance, water, sewer, telephone, electricity and gas service, common area charges, amounts of public liability, damage, fire, any extended coverage insurance as may be required hereunder, and any real estate property taxes owed by the Service Provider (together, the “ Rental Costs ”) shall be borne pro rata by the Service Provider, on the one hand, and the Service Recipient, on the other hand, based on the number of employees of the Service Provider and the Service Recipient occupying the Shared Locations.
 
(c)        The Service Recipient shall only permit its authorized Personnel and their business invitees to use the Shared Locations.  The Service Provider, or its Affiliates, shall have reasonable access to those portions of the Shared Locations used by the Service Recipient from time to time as the Service Provider deems reasonably necessary or desirable for the security, inspection or maintenance thereof.

26

Section 8.02      Access to Tax Records .  The Companies and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any pertinent underlying data accessed or stored on any computer program or information technology system) in their possession and shall permit the other Company and its Affiliates, authorized agents and representatives and any representative of a Tax Authority or other Tax auditor direct access during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the other Company in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or financial accounting statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under this Agreement.  The Company (and any of its Affiliates) seeking access to such Tax Records shall reimburse the other Company for all third-party and other reasonable costs and expenses, including $200 per hour for expenses relating to the utilization of the other Group's personnel, incurred by the cooperating Group in complying with this Section 8.02 within ten Business Days after receiving an invoice from the cooperating Company therefor; provided that neither Company shall be required to reimburse the other for such personnel expenses except to the extent that the aggregate amount of such cooperating Group personnel expenses exceeds $10,000 or the aggregate time spent by the cooperating Group personnel in connection with such cooperation exceeds 50 hours.
 
Section 8.03      Preservation of Privilege .  No member of the Arcosa Group shall provide access to, copies of, or otherwise disclose to any Person any documentation relating to Taxes existing prior to the Distribution Date to which Privilege may reasonably be asserted without the prior written consent of Trinity, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

Section 9.01      Notice .  Each of the Companies shall provide prompt notice to the other Company of any written communication from a Tax Authority regarding any pending Tax audit, assessment or proceeding or other Tax Contest of which it becomes aware related to Taxes for Tax Periods for which it is indemnified by the other Company hereunder or for which it may be required to indemnify the other Company hereunder.  Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Tax Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such matters.  If an indemnified Company has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is to be indemnified hereunder and such Company fails to give the indemnifying Company prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability and the indemnifying Company is entitled under this Agreement to contest the asserted Tax liability, then (i) if the indemnifying Company is precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum as a result of the failure to give prompt notice, the indemnifying Company shall have no obligation to indemnify the indemnified Company for any Taxes arising out of such asserted Tax liability, and (ii) if the indemnifying Company is not precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum, but such failure to give prompt notice results in a material monetary detriment to the indemnifying Company, then any amount which the indemnifying Company is otherwise required to pay the indemnified Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment.

Section 13.       Disagreements .
 
Section 13.01    Discussion .  The Companies mutually desire that friendly collaboration will continue between them.  Accordingly, they will try, and they will cause their respective Group members to try, to resolve in an amicable manner all disagreements and misunderstandings connected with their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, including any amendments hereto.  In furtherance thereof, in the event of any dispute or disagreement between any member of the Trinity Group and any member of the Arcosa Group as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or the performance of obligations hereunder (a " Dispute "), a Company's Tax department must provide written notice of such Dispute (" Dispute Notice ").  Within thirty (30) days of receipt by a Company of a Dispute Notice, the receiving Company's Tax department shall submit to the other Company's Tax department a written response.  The Dispute Notice and the response shall each include a statement of the Company's position, a general summary of the arguments (including relevant facts and circumstances) supporting that position, the name and title of the Company's representatives who will represent the Company and any other person(s) in negotiation of the Dispute. The Tax departments of the Companies shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute.
 
Section 13.02    Escalation .  If such good faith negotiations do not resolve the Dispute within forty-five (45) days from the time of receipt of the response to the Dispute Notice and the forty-five (45) day period is not extended by mutual written consent, then the Chief Financial  Officers of the Companies shall enter into negotiations for a reasonable period of time to settle  such Dispute; provided, however, that such reasonable period shall not, unless otherwise agreed by the Companies in writing, exceed thirty (30) days from the 45th day noted above, if and as  extended by mutual agreement of the Companies, as provided for in Section 8.1 of the  Separation and Distribution Agreement. If such good faith negotiations between the Chief Financial Officers do not resolve the Dispute within such period, then the Chief Executive Officers of the Companies shall enter into negotiations for a reasonable period of time to settle such Dispute; provided, however, that such reasonable period shall not, unless otherwise agreed by the Companies in writing, exceed thirty (30) days from the 30th day noted above, if and as extended by mutual agreement of the Companies, as provided for in Section 8.1 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.  Except as expressly provided herein, Disputes hereunder shall not be subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement.
 
Section 13.03    Referral to Tax Advisor .  If the Companies are not able to resolve the Dispute through the escalation process referred to above, then the matter will be referred to a Tax Advisor acceptable to each of the Companies to act as an arbitrator in order to resolve the Dispute.  In the event that the Companies are unable to agree upon a Tax Advisor within 15 Business Days following the completion of the escalation process, the Companies shall each separately retain an independent, nationally recognized law or accounting firm (each, a " Preliminary Tax Advisor "), which Preliminary Tax Advisors shall jointly select a Tax Advisor on behalf of the Companies to act as an arbitrator in order to resolve the Dispute. The Tax Advisor may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third-party appraiser, accounting firm or consultant that the Tax Advisor deems necessary to assist it in resolving such disagreement. The Tax Advisor shall furnish written notice to the Companies of its resolution of any such Dispute as soon as practical, but in any event no later than 30 Business Days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Tax Advisor will be final and binding on the Companies. Following receipt of the Tax Advisor's written notice to the Companies of its resolution of the Dispute, the Companies shall each take or cause to be taken any action necessary to implement such resolution of the Tax Advisor. Each Company shall pay its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of its representatives) incurred in connection with the referral of the matter to the Tax Advisor (and the Preliminary Tax Advisors, if any). All fees and expenses of the Tax Advisor (and the Preliminary Tax Advisors, if any) in connection with such referral shall be shared equally by the Companies.
 
30

Section 13.04    Injunctive Relief .  Nothing in this Section 13 will prevent either Company from seeking injunctive or other similar equitable relief if any delay resulting from the efforts to resolve the Dispute through the process set forth above could result in serious and irreparable injury to either Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Trinity and Arcosa are the only members of their respective Group entitled to commence a dispute resolution procedure under this Agreement, and each of Trinity and Arcosa will cause its respective Group members not to commence any dispute resolution procedure other than through such Company as provided in this Section 13 .
 
Section 14.       Late Payments .  Any amount owed by one Company to another Company under this Agreement which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent, compounded semiannually, from the due date of the payment to the date paid.  To the extent interest required to be paid under this Section 14 duplicates interest required to be paid under any other provision of this Agreement, interest shall be computed at the higher of the interest rate provided under this Section 14 or the interest rate provided under such other provision.
 
Section 15.       Expenses .  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Company and its Affiliates shall bear their own expenses incurred in connection with preparation of Tax Returns, Tax Contests, and other matters related to Taxes under the provisions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during such period, Arcosa may make such changes, modifications or amendments to the applicable Arcosa Benefit Plan as may be required by applicable Law or as are necessary and appropriate to reflect the Separation.
 
(d)            No Duplication or Acceleration of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, no participant in any Arcosa Benefit Plan shall receive service credit or benefits to the extent that receipt of such service credit or benefits would result in duplication of benefits provided to such participant by the corresponding Trinity Benefit Plan or any other plan, program or arrangement sponsored or maintained by a member of the Trinity Group. Furthermore, unless expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement or required by applicable Law, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to create any right to accelerate vesting or entitlements under any compensation or Benefit Plan, program or arrangement sponsored or maintained by a member of the Trinity Group or member of the Arcosa Group on the part of any Employee or Former Employee.
 
(e)             No Expansion of Participation . Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, as otherwise determined or agreed to by Trinity and Arcosa, as required by applicable Law, or as explicitly set forth in an Arcosa Benefit Plan, an Arcosa Group Employee or Former Arcosa Group Employee shall be entitled to participate in the Arcosa Benefit Plans at the Effective Time only to the extent that such Arcosa Group Employee or Former Arcosa Group Employee was entitled to participate in the corresponding Trinity Benefit Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, it being understood that this Agreement does not expand (i) the number of Arcosa Group Employees or Former Arcosa Group Employees entitled to participate in any Arcosa Benefit Plan or (ii) the participation rights of Arcosa Group Employees or Former Arcosa Group Employees in any Arcosa Benefit Plans beyond the rights of such Arcosa Group Employees or Former Arcosa Group Employees under the corresponding Trinity Benefit Plans, in each case, after the Effective Time.

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Swap Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness).

SECTION 1.05.  Status of Obligations .  In the event that the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall at any time issue or have outstanding any Subordinated Indebtedness, the Borrower shall take or cause such other Loan Party to take all such actions as shall be necessary to cause the Obligations to constitute senior indebtedness (however denominated) in respect of such Subordinated Indebtedness and to enable the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to have and exercise any payment blockage or other remedies available or potentially available to holders of senior indebtedness under the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Obligations are hereby designated as “senior indebtedness” and as “designated senior indebtedness” and words of similar import under and in respect of any indenture or other agreement or instrument under which such Subordinated Indebtedness is outstanding and are further given all such other designations as shall be required under the terms of any such Subordinated Indebtedness in order that the Lenders may have and exercise any payment blockage or other remedies available or potentially available to holders of senior indebtedness under the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness.

SECTION 2.05.  Swingline Loans .  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $30,000,000, (ii) the Dollar Amount of the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding its Commitment, or (iii) subject to Section 2.04, the Dollar Amount of the total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Commitment; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan.  The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower.  The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent designated for such purpose (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.  Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, promptly upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent (and in any event, if such notice is received by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time on such Business Day and if received after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the immediately succeeding Business Day) to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis   mutandis , to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender.  Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

32

(d) The Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a).  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of the Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.

SECTION 2.06.  Letters of Credit .  (a) General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Agreed Currencies as the applicant thereof for the support of its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Issuing Bank shall have no obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

33

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions .  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the Agreed Currency applicable thereto, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.  If requested by an Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) subject to Sections 2.04 and 2.11(b), the Dollar Amount of the LC Exposure shall not exceed $100,000,000, (ii) subject to Sections 2.04 and 2.11(b), the sum of the Dollar Amount of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, (iii) subject to Sections 2.04 and 2.11(b), the Dollar Amount of the total outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure, in each case denominated in Foreign Currencies, shall not exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit and (iv) subject to Sections 2.04 and 2.11(b), the Dollar amount of the LC Exposure of any individual Issuing Bank shall not exceed $50,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower).

(c) Expiration Date .  Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the applicable Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit provided that (A) any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods not to extend past the date in clause (ii) below and (B) Letters of Credit with an aggregate face amount not to exceed $35,000,000 may have expiration dates that extend to the date three years after the date of the issuance of each such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, three years after such renewal or extension) not to extend past the date in clause (ii) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations .  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof or with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

34

(e) Reimbursement .  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent in the currency in which it is denominated the amount equal to such LC Disbursement, calculated as of the date such Issuing Bank made such LC Disbursement (or if such Issuing Bank shall so elect in its sole discretion by notice to the Borrower, in such other Agreed Currency which was paid by such Issuing Bank pursuant to such LC Disbursement in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement) not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than the Dollar Amount of $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with (i) to the extent such LC Disbursement was made in Dollars, an ABR Revolving Borrowing, Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in Dollars in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement or (ii) to the extent that such LC Disbursement was made in a Foreign Currency, a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing in such Foreign Currency in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement and, in each case, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing, Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan, as applicable.  If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis   mutandis , to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.  If the Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Foreign Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, the Borrower shall, at its option, either (x) pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank or the relevant Lender or (y) reimburse each LC Disbursement made in such Foreign Currency in Dollars, in an amount equal to the Equivalent Amount, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rates, on the date such LC Disbursement is made, of such LC Disbursement.

35

(f) Obligations Absolute .  The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures .  An Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest .  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the reimbursement is due and payable, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans (or in the case such LC Disbursement is denominated in a Foreign Currency, at the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate for such Agreed Currency plus the then effective Applicable Rate with respect to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans) and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such reimbursement is payable; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of Issuing Bank .  An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b).  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization .  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than fifty percent (50%) of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders (the “ LC Collateral Account ”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the Dollar Amount of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Foreign Currency Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements in a Foreign Currency that the Borrower is not late in reimbursing shall be deposited in the applicable Foreign Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Letters of Credit and LC Disbursements and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (i) or (j) of Section 7.01 .  For the purposes of this paragraph, the Foreign Currency LC Exposure shall be calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to the Borrower.  The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b).  Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure  representing greater than fifty (50%) of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

37

SECTION 2.07.  Funding of Borrowings .  (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders and (ii) in the case of each Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, by 12:00 noon, Local Time, in the city of the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency and at such Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05.  The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to (x) an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City or Chicago and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars and (y) an account of the Borrower in the relevant jurisdiction and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to such Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, 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 (including without limitation the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency) or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.08.  Interest Elections .  (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.  Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.  The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.  This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election (by telephone or irrevocable written notice in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars or by irrevocable written notice (via an Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.  Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (iii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under such Borrowing.

38

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period and Agreed Currency to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period (i) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency in respect of which the Borrower shall have failed to deliver an Interest Election Request prior to the third (3 rd ) Business Day preceding the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall automatically continue as a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the same Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one month unless such Eurocurrency Borrowing is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.11.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall automatically be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month.

SECTION 2.09.  Termination and Reduction of Commitments .  (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Dollar Amount of the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the Aggregate Commitment.

39

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days (or such lesser period as the Administrative Agent shall agree to in writing) prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other transactions specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.10.  Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt .  (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date in the currency of such Loan and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two (2) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima   facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the Obligations.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note.  In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I .  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

40

SECTION 2.11.  Prepayment of Loans .

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.11(a).  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by written notice (promptly followed by telephonic confirmation of such request) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, three (3) Business Days (in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars) or four (4) Business Days (in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency), in each case before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time on the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02.  Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and (ii) break funding payments pursuant to Section 2.16.

(b) If at any time, (i) other than as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, (A) the sum of the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of all of the Revolving Credit Exposures (calculated, with respect to those Credit Events denominated in Foreign Currencies, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Credit Event) exceeds the Aggregate Commitment or (B) the sum of the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of all of the outstanding Revolving Credit Exposures denominated in Foreign Currencies (the “ Foreign Currency Exposure ”) (so calculated), as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Credit Event, exceeds the Foreign Currency Sublimit or (ii) solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, (A) the sum of the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of all of the Revolving Credit Exposures (so calculated) exceeds 105% of the Aggregate Commitment or (B) the Foreign Currency Exposure, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Credit Event, exceeds 105% of the Foreign Currency Sublimit, the Borrower shall in each case immediately repay Borrowings or cash collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(j), as applicable, in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause (x) the aggregate Dollar Amount of all Revolving Credit Exposures (so calculated) to be less than or equal to the Aggregate Commitment and (y) the Foreign Currency Exposure to be less than or equal to the Foreign Currency Sublimit, as applicable.

SECTION 2.12.  Fees .  (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates (it being understood and agreed that any Lender’s Swingline Exposure shall not be deemed to be a component of such Lender’s unused Commitment for purposes of calculating the commitment fee under this Section 2.12(a)).  Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.  All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

41

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average daily Dollar Amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily Dollar Amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees and commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, presentment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third (3 rd ) Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees payable to each Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  Participation fees and fronting fees in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars shall be paid in Dollars, and participation fees and fronting fees in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be paid in such Foreign Currency.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (including all fees due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Fee Letters).

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.12) and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to such Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13.  Interest .  (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by written notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender directly affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall accrue at 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided hereunder; provided that during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (i) or (j), all Loans shall automatically bear interest at 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section and in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall automatically accrue at 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided hereunder.

42

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest (i) computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and (ii) for Borrowings denominated in Pounds Sterling and Canadian Dollars shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14.  Alternative Rate of Interest .

(a) If at the time that the Administrative Agent shall seek to determine the applicable Screen Rate on the Quotation Day for any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the applicable Screen Rate shall not be available for such Interest Period and/or for the applicable currency with respect to such Eurocurrency Borrowing for any reason, and the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine that it is not possible to determine the Interpolated Rate (which conclusion shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), then the LIBO Rate shall be the Reference Bank Rate for such Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Borrowing; provided that if the Reference Bank Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement; provided , further , however,  that if less than two Reference Banks shall supply a rate to the Administrative Agent for purposes of determining the LIBO Rate for such Eurocurrency Borrowing, (i) if such Borrowing shall be requested in Dollars, then such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing at the Alternate Base Rate and (ii) if such Borrowing shall be requested in any Foreign Currency, the LIBO Rate shall be equal to the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion after consultation with the Borrower and consented to in writing by the Required Lenders (the “ Alternative Rate ”); provided , however , that until such time as the Alternative Rate shall be determined and so consented to by the Required Lenders, Borrowings shall not be available in such Foreign Currency.

(b) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including, without limitation, because the applicable Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for a Loan in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period; or

43

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable, for a Loan in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be ineffective and any such Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be repaid or (solely if such Eurocurrency Borrowing is denominated in Dollars) converted into an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (iii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in a Foreign Currency, then the LIBO Rate for such Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be the Alternative Rate; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

(c) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (b)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (b)(i) have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the applicable Screen Rate), (x) the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the applicable Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which an applicable Screen Rate for any Agreed Currency may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall (A) endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate for Loans denominated in Dollars, and (B) endeavor to establish an Alternative Rate as described in clause (a) above for Loans denominated in Agreed Currencies other than Dollars, in each case, that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States in Dollars or such Agreed Currency at such time, as applicable and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate or rates of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Rate); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, any such amendment establishing an alternate rate of interest for Loans denominated in Dollars shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate or rates of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.  Until an alternate rate of interest or Alternative Rate, as applicable, shall be determined in accordance with this clause (c) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(c), only to the extent the applicable Screen Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing, and any Borrowing Request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing in a Foreign Currency shall, in each case, be ineffective and any such Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be repaid or (solely if such Eurocurrency Borrowing is denominated in Dollars) converted into an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

44

SECTION 2.15.  Increased Costs .  (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank;

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

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

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

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided   further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16.  Break Funding Payments .  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.  Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the relevant currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17.  Taxes .  (a) Payments Free of Taxes .  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

46

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

(c) Evidence of Payments .  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties .  The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders .  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the 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 Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Lenders .  (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

47

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

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

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(2) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

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

48

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds .  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the 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 (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival .  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

49

(i) Defined Terms .  For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Banks and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.18.  Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs .

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to (i) in the case of payments denominated in Dollars, 1:00 p.m., New York City time and (ii) in the case of payments denominated in a Foreign Currency, 12:00 noon, Local Time, in the city of the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency, in each case on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made (i) in the same currency in which the applicable Credit Event was made (or where such currency has been converted to euro, in euro) and (ii) to the Administrative Agent at its offices in New York City or, in the case of a Credit Event denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments denominated in the same currency received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Credit Event in any Foreign Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Credit Event was made (the “ Original Currency ”) no longer exists or the Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrower takes all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

50

(c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03 or 2.05, as applicable and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.

(d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,  such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).  The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, 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 (including without limitation the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency).

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(e) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or an Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section; in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

51

SECTION 2.19.  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders .  (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under the Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, 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) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

52

SECTION 2.20.  Increase of Commitments .  The Borrower may from time to time elect to increase the Commitments, in each case in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and not less than $20,000,000, so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $200,000,000, after giving effect to any such increase, the Aggregate Commitment does not exceed $650,000,000 and the total number of increases implemented under this Section 2.20 does not exceed four (4).  The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”; provided that no Ineligible Institution may be an Augmenting Lender), which agree to increase their existing Commitments or provide new Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender to the extent the consent of the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender would be required to effect an assignment under Section 9.04(b), and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto.  No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20.  Increases and new Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower and (B) as of the effective date of any such increase, no Default shall exist and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to the organizational power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase.  On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Loans, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03).  The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.16 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the applicable Augmenting Lenders and/or Increasing Lenders may agree upon procedures for phasing in any increase to minimize breakage costs or for reasons of convenience.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.20 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time.  In connection with any increase of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20, any Augmenting Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any Augmenting Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act.

53

SECTION 2.21.  Judgment Currency .  If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non‑appealable judgment is given.  The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency.  If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.18, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.

(d) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting Lender, cause the Dollar Amount of such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed its Commitment;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first , prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second , cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to such Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

55

(e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.22(d), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
 
If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Banks have a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and any Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
 
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

SECTION 8.01.   Authorization and Action .  (a)  Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender and Issuing Bank authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.
 
(b)   As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and Issuing Bank; provided , however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided , further , that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
 
75

(c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
 
(i)
the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Issuing Bank or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;

(ii)
nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account;

(d) The Administrative Agent may perform any 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 of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers 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 any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent 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-agent.
 
(e) None of any Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.
 
76

(f) In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any other obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
 
(i)
to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii)
to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03).  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

(g)   The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions.  Each Lender or Affiliate of a Lender party to a Swap Agreement, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.
 
SECTION 8.02.   Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Indemnification, Etc .  (a)  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
 
77

(b) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and 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 any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Lender or any Issuing Bank as a result of, any determination of the Revolving Credit Exposure, any of the component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each Lender or Issuing Bank, or any Exchange Rate or Dollar Amount.
 
(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 9.04, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 9.04(b), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuing Bank and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).
 
SECTION 8.03.   Posting of Communications .  (a)  The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “ Approved Electronic Platform ”).
 
(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.  Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
 
78

(c)   THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”.  THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING 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 APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.  IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY JOINT LEAD ARRANGER, ANY CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY SYNDICATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “ APPLICABLE PARTIES ”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.
 
(d)   Communications ” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.
 
(e)   Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.
 
(f) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.
 
(g)   Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
 
79

SECTION 8.04.   The Administrative Agent Individually .  With respect to its Commitment, Loans, Letter of Credit Commitments and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.  The terms “Issuing Bank”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Issuing Bank or as one of the Required Lenders, as applicable.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.
 
SECTION 8.05.   Successor Administrative Agent .  (a)  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank.  In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing).  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent.  Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.
 
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and Issuing Bank.  Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
 
80

SECTION 8.06.   Acknowledgments of Lenders and Issuing Banks .  (a)  Each Lender represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) 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.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (x) to add one or more credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders.

88

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

89

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services.  In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower and other companies with which it may have commercial or other relationships.  With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

Exhibit 99.1

NEWS RELEASE

Trinity Industries, Inc. Announces Completion of Spin-off of Arcosa, Inc.
and Resizing of Corporate Credit Facility

DALLAS – November 1, 2018 – Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE: TRN) (“Trinity”), announced today that it has completed the separation of its infrastructure-related business, Arcosa, Inc. (“Arcosa”), a growth-oriented manufacturer of infrastructure-related products and services with leading positions in construction, energy, and transportation markets.  The spin-off was effected through a pro rata dividend to Trinity’s stockholders of all outstanding Arcosa shares and is intended to qualify as a tax free distribution for federal income tax purposes.

Arcosa will begin trading “regular way” on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “ACA” at market open today.  As a result of the spin-off, Trinity’s focus will center on its integrated rail manufacturing, leasing, and services businesses while continuing to operate its highway products and logistics businesses.

“Today marks an exciting day for the future of Trinity Industries and our history of evolutionary growth,” said Timothy R. Wallace, Trinity’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President.  “We applaud all of our employees for their energy and enthusiasm in achieving this important milestone.  The spirit in which they approached their individual contributions to the separation is testament to our core values of flexibility, collaboration, and dedication to excellence.”

Mr. Wallace continued, “I look forward to focusing our attention and resources on growth initiatives in the North American railcar industry while optimizing our capital structure to support our operational and financial objectives.  Trinity’s history of expanding its products and services gives me a great deal of confidence in our ability to continue to improve, expand, and grow the Company’s footprint in the North American railcar industry.  I believe we have an enormous amount of potential and that the best is yet to come.”

In conjunction with the spin-off and go forward operations of the Company, Trinity also announced today that it has resized and extended its unsecured corporate revolving credit facility through November 2023. The facility was previously scheduled to mature in May 2020. The facility commitment was also decreased from $600 million to $450 million to more appropriately align with the size of the Company’s continuing operations.

About the Spin-off
The Arcosa stock dividend occurred effective at 12:01 a.m. local New York City time on November 1, 2018.  Trinity stockholders of record as of 5:00 p.m. local New York City time on October 17, 2018 received one share of Arcosa common stock for every three shares of Trinity common stock held as of the record date. No fractional shares of Arcosa’s common stock were distributed. Fractional shares of Arcosa’s common stock were aggregated and are being sold on the open market.  The aggregate net proceeds of the sales will be distributed pro rata (based on the fractional share such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive) to Trinity stockholders who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share of Arcosa’s common stock.
