Item 5.01.
Changes in Control of Registrant.

Arcosa was a 100% owned subsidiary of Trinity immediately prior to the Distribution. 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 (“NYSE”) 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 completion of the Distribution, Trinity retains no ownership interest in Arcosa. The description of the Separation included under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 5.01 by reference.

·
Arcosa, Inc. 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”)


·
Arcosa, Inc. Annual Incentive Plan (the “Annual Plan”)


·
Arcosa, Inc. 2018 Deferred Plan for Director Fees (the “Director Deferred Plan”)


·
Arcosa, Inc. Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan (the “Supplemental Plan,” and together with the Equity Plan, the Annual Plan and the Director Deferred Plan, the “Arcosa Plans”)

The following is a description of the material terms and provisions of each of the Arcosa Plans.  The descriptions of the Equity Plan, the Annual Plan, the Director Deferred Plan and the Supplemental Plan, as set forth under this Item 5.02 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of Exhibits 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9 attached hereto, respectively.


Arcosa, Inc. 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

The Equity Plan is designed to link the interests of Arcosa’s employees and other participants to those of its stockholders by providing participants with equity incentives that increase in value when the price of Arcosa’s common stock increases.  Arcosa’s Human Resources Committee and the Board believe that the ability to provide equity compensation is vital to Arcosa’s ability to attract and retain individuals in the competitive labor markets.  The Equity Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and other performance-based awards, dividend equivalents and  other forms of awards payable in cash or shares of common stock.  Employees of Arcosa or its affiliates who are directors, officers or who are in managerial or other key positions, consultants who provide key consulting services, and non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the Equity Plan, as determined by the Human Resources Committee

Subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Equity Plan, the maximum number of shares of Arcosa common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Equity Plan is 4,800,000 shares. This figure includes the number of shares subject to the awards granted under the Trinity Plans (as defined in the Equity Plan) which are (i) outstanding as of the Effective Date (as defined below), (ii) assumed by Arcosa, and (iii) converted to awards under the Equity Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of shares available for issuance pursuant to incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and other awards shall be (i) 3,000,000 shares for awards in the form of incentive stock options, (ii) 3,000,000 shares for awards in the form of nonqualified stock options, and (iii) 3,000,000 shares that may be issued pursuant to awards in forms other than incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options.

Awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards and other awards (whether relating to cash or shares) under the Equity Plan may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to one or more of the following business criteria: book value; cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash flow, cash flow return on equity, and cash flow return on investment); earnings (either in aggregate or on a per-share basis); earnings before or after either, or any combination of, interest, taxes, depreciation, or amortization; economic value added; expenses/costs; gross or net income; gross or net operating margins; gross or net operating profits; gross or net revenues/sales; inventory turns; margins; market share; operating efficiency; operating income; operational performance measures; pre-tax income; productivity ratios and measures; profitability ratios; return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, equity, capital, invested capital, sales or revenues); share price (including, but not limited to, growth in share price and total shareholder return); transactions relating to acquisitions or divestitures; or working capital (the “Equity Plan Performance Criteria”). Any Equity Plan Performance Criteria may be used to measure the performance of Arcosa as a whole or any business unit of Arcosa and may be measured in absolute terms, relative to a peer group or index, relative to past performance, or as otherwise determined by the Equity Plan Committee.

The Board or the Human Resources Committee will grant all awards to non-employee directors. The maximum number of shares that may be issued to non-employee directors as a group under the Equity Plan is an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares. The maximum number of shares that may be granted pursuant to any award under the Equity Plan in any one calendar year to a non-employee director is 40,000 shares.

The Equity Plan will become effective as of November 1, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), and unless sooner terminated by the Board, will expire on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.  No award may be made under the Equity Plan after the expiration of the Equity Plan, but awards made prior thereto may have vesting or exercise periods that extend beyond that date.  The Board may terminate the Equity Plan at any time; provided that, termination of the Equity Plan will not affect any award previously granted thereunder.

Except as set forth in the Equity Plan or as set forth below, awards payable in the form of shares of common stock will be subject to a minimum vesting period of no less than one year; provided, however, such awards may vest on an accelerated basis, regardless of the minimum vesting provisions, in the event of a participant’s death, disability, retirement, or in the event of a Change in Control.  If the vesting of an award granted to an employee or a consultant is not subject to performance conditions, then such award must have a minimum vesting period of no less than three years, with periodic vesting over such period, provided that, the first vesting date shall occur no earlier than the first anniversary of the date such award is granted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, up to 5% of the shares reserved under the Equity Plan may be granted as awards without meeting the minimum vesting requirements.

Arcosa, Inc. Annual Incentive Plan

The Annual Plan is a short-term cash incentive compensation plan designed to link executive decision making and performance with Arcosa’s goals, reinforce these goals, and ensure the highest level of accountability for the success of Arcosa as a whole.  The Annual Plan provides for the granting of awards of incentive compensation that may be paid to a participant upon satisfaction of specified performance goals for an established performance period.  Participation in the Annual Plan is limited to those employees of Arcosa and its subsidiaries who are designated by Arcosa’s Human Resources Committee or any other committee as determined by Board, and which shall consist of two or more non-employee directors as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Annual Plan Committee”).  For each “performance period” established by the Annual Plan Committee (a performance period may coincide with the fiscal year of Arcosa or may be for a period that is longer or shorter than a fiscal year), the Annual Plan Committee will select the particular employees to whom incentive compensation may be awarded.


Awards under the Annual Plan may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals (consisting of individual performance goals, business unit performance goals and/or company performance goals) relating to one or more of the following criteria: cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash flow, cash flow return on equity, and cash flow return on investment); book value; cost; revenues; sales; ratio of debt to debt plus equity; net borrowing, credit quality or debt ratings; profit before tax; economic profit; earnings before or after either, or any combination of, interest, taxes, depreciation, or amortization; gross or net margin; earnings (either in aggregate or on a per-share basis and whether on a pre-tax, after-tax, operational or other basis); operating earnings; capital expenditures; expenses or expense levels; economic value added; ratio of operating earnings to capital spending or any other operating ratios; gross or net income; gross or net operating margins; gross or net profit; gross or net revenues; gross or net sales; net asset value per share; margins; transactions relating to acquisitions or divestitures (including, without limitation, the accomplishment of mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, public offerings or similar extraordinary business transactions); sales growth; price of Arcosa’s common stock (including, but not limited to, growth in share price); return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, equity, stockholders’ equity, capital, invested capital, sales or revenues); return on net assets, equity or stockholders’ equity; market share; operating efficiency; operating income; operational performance measures; pre-tax income; productivity ratios and measures; profitability ratios; inventory levels, inventory turn or shrinkage; working capital; or total return to stockholders (“Annual Plan Performance Criteria”).  Any Annual Plan Performance Criteria may be measured in absolute terms, relative to a peer group or index, relative to past performance, or as otherwise determined by the Annual Plan Committee.

Approved awards under the Annual Plan for a performance period will be paid in cash to each participant in the year immediately following the close of the year in which such Performance Period ends, following receipt of the independent auditor’s report, but no later than March 31 of such year. In addition, in the event of certain terminations of service due to death or disability or the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Annual Plan) prior to the end of the applicable performance period, the Annual Plan Committee may, in its sole discretion, pay a participant a pro-rated amount of incentive compensation under such participant’s award.  If a participant’s employment is terminated for any reason, other than the death or disability of the participant, during a performance period or after a performance period but prior to the date of actual payment, then such participant will immediately forfeit any right to receive any incentive compensation for such performance period; provided that, where the termination of employment occurs after the performance period has ended but prior to the date of actual payment, the Annual Plan Committee may pay the participant an amount not to exceed the amount earned according to the terms of the award.  The payment of an award shall be in the form directed by the Annual Plan Committee and may either be paid in a cash lump sum or in installments.

Arcosa, Inc. 2018 Deferred Plan for Director Fees

The purpose of the Director Deferred Plan is to provide the non-employee directors of the Board an opportunity to defer the payment of their annual retainer fee and Board and committee meeting fees.  The Director Deferred Plan is an “unfunded” plan for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and is a deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A of the Code.

Pursuant to the Director Deferred Plan, non-employee directors may elect to defer the receipt of all or a specified portion of the fees to be paid to him or her.  Deferred amounts are credited to an account on the books of Arcosa and treated as if invested either (i) at an interest rate equivalent (annual LIBOR rate plus 6 points or some other rate determined by the Human Resources Committee) or, (ii) at the director’s prior election, in units of Arcosa common stock (reflecting the value of a share of Arcosa common stock) at the closing price per share on the last day of the quarter following the date that a payment is credited to the director’s account, or if the last day of the quarter is not a trading day, on the next succeeding trading day (“Stock Units”). Such Stock Units are credited with amounts equivalent to dividends paid on Arcosa’s common stock.  Any election to defer and invest in Stock Units must be made on an “Election and Agreement to Defer Director’s Fees,” prior to the year to which the fees for services relate.  A deferral election, once made, is irrevocable for the entire year to which it relates.  A deferral election will remain in effect for future years unless a new election is made with respect to future years, or a new election is made to cease participation.  A director’s account will be maintained on Arcosa’s books until there has been a distribution event for such director.

As a general matter, a director’s account will be distributed, in accordance with the director’s election, either (i) in annual installments not exceeding 10 years, or (ii) in a lump sum, upon the director’s “Termination Date” ( i.e. , the date on which the director ceases to serve on the Board and incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A).  If a director failed to make a payment election, the director’s account will be paid in installments over a 10 year period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an alternate payment election can be made with respect to a Termination Date occurring within the two year period following a Change in Control (as defined in the Director Deferred Plan).  All distributions will be made in cash.


Arcosa, Inc. Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan

The purpose of the Supplemental Plan is to provide certain of Arcosa’s highly compensated employees an opportunity to defer amounts relating to their base pay and annual incentive awards and to receive (if declared by the employer) a discretionary matching contribution relating to a portion of such deferrals to allow such individuals an opportunity to accumulate funds for retirement.  The Supplemental Plan is an “unfunded” plan for purposes of ERISA and is a deferred compensation plan subject to Code Section 409A.  The Supplemental Plan will be administered by a committee appointed by the Board for the purpose of overseeing the Supplemental Plan (the “SPSP Committee”).

Highly compensated employees of Arcosa and its affiliates, who are designated as eligible for participation in the Supplemental Plan by the SPSP Committee, may elect to defer the receipt of all or a specified portion of amounts paid to such employee as (i) salary or wages (base pay), and/or (ii) an annual bonus under the terms of the Annual Plan.  A deferral election, once made, is irrevocable for the entire year to which it relates and will remain in effect for future years unless a new election is made or such election is cancelled.  A participant’s account will be maintained on Arcosa’s books until there has been a distribution event for such participant.  The Supplemental Plan provides for a discretionary matching contribution that mimics the matching contribution formula provided for under the Arcosa, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan.  Such matching contribution (if made) will be based upon a prescribed applicable percentage that ranges from 0% to 50% based on the participant’s years of service with the applicable percentage maxing out after five years of service.  Participants will vest in their employer contributions under the Supplemental Plan based on a five-year graded vesting schedule with 100% vesting occurring after five or more years of service.  Years of service will include certain service credit accrued by participants with Trinity as provided for in the Supplemental Plan.

Amounts credited for benefits under the Supplemental Plan will accrue earnings or losses according to hypothetical investment selections made in accordance with each participant’s election.  Immediately following the Distribution, such hypothetical investments will include shares of Trinity common stock and Arcosa common stock (collectively “SPSP Stock Units”).  After November 1, 2018 each participant holding SPSP Stock Units may elect to diversify out of such investment and may not take any action that would result in such participant’s benefit being credited with additional SPSP Stock Units; within 18 months of the Distribution any SPSP Stock Units allocated under the terms of the Supplemental Plan will be liquidated and the proceeds will be deemed to be invested in alternative investments.

A participant’s account will be distributed upon the earlier of (A) termination of employment on account of death, disability, or retirement in accordance with the participant’s election in either (i) annual installments not exceeding 20 years, or (ii) a lump sum, or (B) termination of employment for any other reason in a lump sum.  In all events distribution will occur only to the extent the termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.  All distributions will be made in cash; provided, however that if distribution is made while a participant holds SPSP Stock Units, such amounts will be paid in-kind.

RECITALS
 
WHEREAS, Trinity, acting through its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, currently conducts a number of businesses, including the Arcosa Business;
 
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Trinity (the " Trinity Board ") has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Trinity and its stockholders to separate Trinity into two separate, independent, publicly-traded companies: (i) one comprising the Arcosa Business, which shall be owned and conducted directly or indirectly by Arcosa, all of the common stock of which is intended to be distributed to Trinity stockholders, and (ii) one comprising the Trinity Business, which shall continue to be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Trinity;
 
WHEREAS, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Trinity Board has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Trinity and its stockholders: (i) for Trinity and its Subsidiaries to enter into a series of transactions whereby Trinity and its Subsidiaries will be reorganized such that (A) Trinity and/or one or more other members of the Trinity Group will own all of the Trinity Assets and assume (or retain) all of the Trinity Liabilities, and (B) Arcosa and/or one or more other members of the Arcosa Group will own all of the Arcosa Assets and assume (or retain) all of the Arcosa Liabilities (the transactions referred to in clauses (A) and (B) being referred to herein as the " Separation "); and (ii) thereafter, on the Distribution Date, for Trinity to distribute to the holders of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Trinity (the " Trinity Common Stock ") as of the Record Date on a pro rata basis all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Arcosa (the " Arcosa Common Stock ") (such transactions described in this clause (ii), as may be amended or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the " Distribution ");
 
WHEREAS, Arcosa has been incorporated for this purpose and has not engaged in activities except in preparation for its corporate reorganization (including activities with respect to the Arcosa Financing Arrangements) and the distribution of its stock;
 
WHEREAS, Trinity and Arcosa have determined that it is necessary and desirable, at or prior to the Effective Time, to allocate, transfer or assign the Arcosa Assets and Arcosa Liabilities to the Arcosa Group, and to allocate, transfer or assign the Trinity Assets and Trinity Liabilities to the Trinity Group;
 
WHEREAS, the Parties intend that the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, generally will qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the " Code "), and that this Agreement is intended to be, and is hereby adopted as, a plan of reorganization under Section 368 of the Code to the extent relevant for these transactions; and
 

WHEREAS, it is appropriate and desirable to set forth the principal corporate transactions required to effect the Separation and to set forth certain other agreements that will, following the Distribution, govern certain matters relating to the Separation and the relationship of Arcosa and Trinity and their respective Affiliates.

(1)          this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Transfer Documents, the Continuing Arrangements and any Contract entered into in connection herewith or in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby;

(2)          any Contracts, arrangements, course of dealings or understandings to which any Third Party is a party (it being understood that to the extent that the rights and obligations of the Parties and the members of their respective Groups under any such Contracts, arrangements, course of dealings or understandings constitute Trinity Assets, Arcosa Assets, Trinity Liabilities, or Arcosa Liabilities, such Contracts, arrangements, course of dealings or understandings shall be assigned or retained pursuant to this Article II ); and

Section 2.6            Delayed Transfer of Assets or Liabilities .
 
(a)            To the extent that any Transfers or assumptions contemplated by this Article II shall not have been consummated at or prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall cooperate to effect such Transfers or assumptions as promptly following the Effective Time as shall be practicable.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to require or constitute the Transfer of any Assets or the assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law cannot be Transferred or assumed; provided , however , that the Parties shall, and shall cause the respective members of their Groups to, cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals for the Transfer of all Assets and assumption of all Liabilities contemplated to be Transferred or assumed pursuant to this Article II .
 
23

(b)            In the event that any such Transfer of Assets or assumption of Liabilities has not been consummated as of the Effective Time (any such Asset or Liability, a " Delayed Transfer Asset or Liability "), then from and after the Effective Time, (i) the Party (or relevant member in its Group) retaining such Asset shall thereafter hold (or shall cause such member in its Group to hold) such Asset for the use and benefit of the Party (or relevant member in its Group) entitled thereto (at the expense of the Person entitled thereto) and (ii) the Party intended to assume such Liability shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, pay or reimburse the Party (or the relevant member of its Group) retaining such Liability for all amounts paid or incurred in connection with the retention of such Liability. In addition, the Party retaining such Asset or Liability (or relevant member of its Group) shall (or shall cause such member in its Group to) treat, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, such Delayed Transfer Asset or Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Delayed Transfer Asset or Liability is to be transferred or assumed in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such Asset or Liability had been transferred or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for income and gain, and dominion, control and command over such Asset or Liability, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the relevant member of the Trinity Group or the Arcosa Group, as the case may be, entitled to the receipt of such Asset or Liability. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Effective Time, each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of such delayed Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
(c)            If and when the Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of transfer of any Delayed Transfer Asset or Liability pursuant to this Section 2.6 , are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer or novation of the applicable Delayed Transfer Asset or Liability shall be effected without further consideration in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 2.2 ) and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement as promptly as practicable after the receipt of such Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or absence or satisfaction of conditions.
 
(d)            The Party (or relevant member of its Group) retaining any Delayed Transfer Asset or Liability shall (i) not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Asset, other than reasonable attorneys' fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Asset and (ii) be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses or other Liabilities arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) of such retaining Party taken at the direction of the other Party (or relevant member of its Group) in connection with and relating to such retained Asset or Liability, as the case may be.
 
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). Accordingly, at all times after the Effective Time, each Party authorizes the other Party (or any member of its Group) to receive and open all mail, packages and other communications received by such Party (or any member of its Group) and not unambiguously intended for such first Party, any member of such first Party's Group or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or other agents, and to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving party shall promptly deliver such mail, telegrams, packages or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both businesses, copies thereof) to the other Party as provided for in Section 10.6 . 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.

(i)           first, if a Liability is incurred exclusively in respect of a benefit received by one Party or its Group, the Party or Group receiving such benefit shall be responsible for such Liability;

(ii)          second, if a Liability cannot be exclusively allocated to one Party or its Group under clause (i) above, such Liability shall be allocated among both Parties and their respective Groups based on the relative proportions of total benefit received (over the remaining term of the Shared Contract, measured starting as of the date of allocation) under the relevant Shared Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party and its Group shall be responsible for any or all Liabilities arising out of or resulting from such Party's or Group's breach of the relevant Shared Contract.

(b)            Except as otherwise expressly contemplated in this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement, if Trinity or any member of the Trinity Group, on the one hand, or Arcosa or any member of the Arcosa Group, on the other hand, receives any benefit or payment under any Shared Contract which was intended for the other Party or its Group, Trinity, on the one hand, or Arcosa, on the other hand, as applicable, will use its respective commercially reasonable efforts, or will cause any member of its Group to use its commercially reasonable efforts, to deliver, Transfer or otherwise afford such benefit or payment to the other Party.
 
(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties have determined that it is advisable that certain Shared Contracts, or portions thereof, will be separated or assigned to a member of the Trinity Group or the Arcosa Group, as applicable. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to separate the Shared Contracts which are identified on Schedule 2.8(c)(i) into separate Contracts between the appropriate Third Party and either (i) Arcosa or a member of the Arcosa Group or (ii) Trinity or a member of the Trinity Group. Trinity or a member of the Trinity Group will use commercially reasonable efforts to assign the rights and obligations, but only to the extent relating to the Arcosa Business, under the Shared Contracts which are identified on Schedule 2.8(c)(ii) to Arcosa or a member of the Arcosa Group. The Parties agree to cooperate and provide reasonable assistance prior to the Effective Time and for a period of six (6) months following the Effective Time (with no obligation on the part of either Party to pay any costs or fees with respect to such assistance) in effecting the separation or assignment of such Shared Contracts as described above.
 
(d)            Each of Trinity and Arcosa shall, and shall cause the members of their respective Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes the portion of each Shared Contract inuring to their respective Business as an Asset owned by, and/or a Liability of, as applicable, such Party, or the members of such Party's Group, as applicable, not later than the Effective Time, and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by applicable Law or a good faith resolution of a Tax Contest).

(c)            On or prior to the Distribution Date, Trinity and Arcosa in their respective capacities as direct or indirect stockholders of their respective Subsidiaries, shall each approve or ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by any Subsidiary of Trinity or Subsidiary of Arcosa, as applicable, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

THE DISTRIBUTION
 
Section 4.1            The Distribution .  Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions, covenants and other terms set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, on or prior to the Distribution Date, in connection with the Separation, including the Transfer of the Arcosa Assets to Arcosa in the Separation whenever made, Arcosa shall issue to Trinity as a stock dividend such number of shares of Arcosa Common Stock (or Trinity and Arcosa shall take or cause to be taken such other appropriate actions to ensure that Trinity has the requisite number of shares of Arcosa Common Stock) as may be requested by Trinity after consultation with Arcosa in order to effect the Distribution, which shares as of the date of issuance shall represent (together with such shares previously held by Trinity) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Arcosa Common Stock.  Subject to conditions and other terms in this Article IV , Trinity will cause the Agent on the Distribution Date to make the Distribution, including by crediting the appropriate number of shares of Arcosa Common Stock to book entry accounts for each holder of Arcosa Common Stock or designated transferee or transferees of such holder of Arcosa Common Stock.  For stockholders of Trinity who own Trinity Common Stock through a broker or other nominee, their shares of Arcosa Common Stock will be credited to their respective accounts by such broker or nominee.  No action by any holder of Trinity Common Stock on the Record Date shall be necessary for such stockholder (or such stockholder's designated transferee or transferees) to receive the applicable number of shares of Arcosa Common Stock (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional shares) such stockholder is entitled to in the Distribution.
 
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.

(a)            If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by any Person who is not a member of the Trinity Group or the Arcosa Group, as the case may be, of any claim, or of the commencement by any such Person of any Proceedings, with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 , or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (collectively, a " Third Party Claim "), such Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within thirty (30) days after such Indemnified Party received notice or otherwise learned of such Third Party Claim.  Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, including, if known, the amount of the loss or Liability claimed or asserted by such third party for which indemnification may be available. 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

Section 6.9            Remedies Cumulative .  The remedies provided in this Article VI or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnified Party of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement against any Indemnifying Party; provided , however , that the procedures set forth in this Article VI shall be the exclusive procedures governing any indemnity action brought under this Agreement.
 
Section 6.10          Consequential Damages .  EXCEPT AS MAY BE AWARDED TO A THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE  INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS IN THIS ARTICLE VI , IN NO EVENT SHALL TRINITY, ARCOSA OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR OTHER AGENTS BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR OTHER AGENTS BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR LOST PROFITS, OPPORTUNITY COSTS, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR DAMAGES BASED UPON A MULTIPLE OF EARNINGS OR SIMILAR FINANCIAL MEASURE, EVEN IF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW SUCH LOST PROFITS, OPPORTUNITY COSTS, DIMINUTION IN VALUE, OR SUCH DAMAGES WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES.
 
Section 6.11          Ancillary Agreements .  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any Ancillary Agreement contains any specific, express indemnification obligation or contribution obligation relating to any Trinity Liability, Trinity Asset, Arcosa Liability or Arcosa Asset contributed, assumed, retained, transferred, delivered or conveyed pursuant to such Ancillary Agreement, or relating to any other specific matter, the indemnification obligations contained herein shall not apply to such Trinity Liability, Trinity Asset, Arcosa Liability or Arcosa Asset, or such other specific matter, and instead the indemnification and/or contribution obligations set forth in such Ancillary Agreement shall govern with regard to such Trinity Asset, Trinity Liability, Arcosa Asset or Arcosa Liability or any such other specific matter.
 
ARTICLE VII

CONFIDENTIALITY; ACCESS TO INFORMATION
 
Section 7.1            Provision of Corporate Records .  Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article VI (in which event the provisions of such Article will govern) and without limiting the applicable provisions of Article VI , and subject to appropriate restrictions for classified, privileged or Confidential Information and subject further to any restrictions or limitations contained in Section 5.2 or elsewhere in this Article VII :
 
(a)            After the Effective Time, upon the prior written request by Arcosa for specific and identified Information which relates to (i) any member of the Arcosa Group or the conduct of the Arcosa Business (including Arcosa Assets and Arcosa Liabilities), as the case may be, up to the Effective Time, or (ii) any Ancillary Agreement, Trinity shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such Information (or the originals thereof if Arcosa has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of Trinity or any of its Affiliates, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of a member of the Arcosa Group.
 
47

(b)            After the Effective Time, upon the prior written request by Trinity for specific and identified Information which relates to (i) any member of the Trinity Group or the conduct of the Trinity Business (including Trinity Assets and Trinity Liabilities), as the case may be, up to the Effective Time, or (ii) any Ancillary Agreement, Arcosa shall provide, as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such Information (or the originals thereof if Trinity has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of Arcosa or any of its Affiliates, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of a member of the Trinity Group.

48

Section 7.4            Cooperation .  At all times from and after the Effective Time, except for any Proceeding (or any threatened Proceeding) in which one or more members of one Group is adverse to one or more members of the other Group, or in which there is otherwise a conflict between one or more members of one Group and one or more members of the other Group (each of which shall be governed by such discovery rules as may be applicable thereto), each of Trinity and Arcosa shall cooperate and consult in good faith as reasonably requested in writing by the other Party with respect to the prosecution or defense of any Proceeding (or any audit or any other legal requirement) in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether relating to events that took place prior to, on or after the date of Separation or whether relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.4 does not require a Party to take any step that would materially interfere, or that it reasonably determines could materially interfere, with its business. The requesting Party agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs, if any, incurred in connection with a request under this Section 7.4 .

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) .
 
(c)            Each Party acknowledges that it and the other members of its Group may have in their possession confidential or proprietary information of Third Parties that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with such Third Party prior to the Effective Time.  Such Party will hold, and will cause the other members of its Group and their respective representatives to hold, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary information of Third Parties to which they or any other member of their respective Groups has access, in accordance with the terms of any Contracts entered into prior to the Effective Time between one or more members of the such Party's Group (whether acting through, on behalf of, or in connection with, the separated Businesses) and such Third Parties.

(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.

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 8.5            Arbitration Procedures .  Any hearing to be conducted shall be held no later than 180 days following appointment of the arbitrators or as soon thereafter as practicable.

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.

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

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.

(e)       Power of Attorney .  Each member of the Arcosa Group shall execute and deliver to Trinity (or such member of the Trinity Group as Trinity shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by Trinity (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which Trinity is the Controlling Party) described in this Section 9 .  Each member of the Trinity Group shall execute and deliver to Arcosa (or such member of the Arcosa Group as Arcosa shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document requested by Arcosa (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which Arcosa is the Controlling Party) described in this Section 9 .

Section 11.       Survival of Obligations .  The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be unconditional and absolute and shall remain in effect without limitation as to time.
 
Section 12.       Treatment of Payments .
 
Section 12.01    Treatment of Tax Indemnity Payments .  In the absence of any change in Tax treatment under the Code or except as otherwise required by other applicable Tax Law, any Tax indemnity payments made by a Company under this Agreement shall be reported for Tax purposes by the payor and the recipient as distributions or capital contributions, as appropriate, occurring immediately before the Distribution (but only to the extent the payment does not relate to a Tax allocated to the payor in accordance with Section 1552 of the Code or the regulations thereunder or Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-33(d) (or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax Laws)) or as payments of an assumed or retained liability.  Except to the extent provided in Section 12.02 , any Tax indemnity payment made by a Company under this Agreement shall be increased as necessary so that after making all payments in respect to Taxes imposed on or attributable to such indemnity payment, the recipient Company receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.  For the avoidance of doubt, all payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be between Trinity and Arcosa (and no other Group companies).
 
Section 12.02     Interest Under This Agreement .  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent one Company (" Indemnitor ") makes a payment of interest to another Company (" Indemnitee ") under this Agreement with respect to the period from the date that the Indemnitee made a payment of Tax to a Tax Authority to the date that the Indemnitor reimbursed the Indemnitee for such Tax payment, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the Indemnitor (deductible to the extent provided by law) and as interest income by the Indemnitee (includible in income to the extent provided by law).  The amount of the payment shall not be adjusted to take into account any associated Tax Benefit to the Indemnitor or increase in Tax to the Indemnitee.
 
29

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.
 
Section 16.       General Provisions .
 
Section 16.01     Addresses and Notices .  All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement as between the Companies shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt unless the day of receipt is not a Business Day, in which case it shall be deemed to have been duly given or made on the next Business Day) by delivery in person, by overnight courier service, by electronic e-mail with receipt confirmed (followed by delivery of an original via overnight courier service) or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective Companies at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Company as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 16.01 ).

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.

31

(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 $20,000,000 may have expiration dates that extend to the date two (2) years after the date of the issuance of each such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, two (2) 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.

32

(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.

(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.

33

(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.

34

(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 (h) or (i) 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.

35

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.

36

(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.

(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.

37

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.

(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.

38

(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).

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).

(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.

40

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), (h) or (i), 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.

(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.  Alternate 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.

41

(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 LIBO 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

(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 LIBOR Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBOR Screen Rate), (x) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBOR Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR 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 LIBOR 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 LIBOR 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.

42

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.

43

(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.

44

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.

(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).

45

(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.

(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-E or IRS Form W-8BEN; or

46

(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;

(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.

47

(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.

(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.

(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).

49

(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.

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.

50

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 and after giving effect to any such increase, the Aggregate Commitment does not exceed $600,000,000.  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) the Borrower shall be in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the covenants contained in Section 6.12 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.

51

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.

SECTION 2.22.  Defaulting Lenders.   Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7.02 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; (ii) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lender hereunder; (iii) third, to cash collateralize each Issuing Bank’s LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section; (iv) fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; (v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize each Issuing Bank’s future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, each Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; (vii) seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (d) below.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

52

(c) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(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;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

53

(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

(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(c), 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(c)(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.

SECTION 8.01.  Authorization and Action.   (a)  Each Lender and the Issuing Banks 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 the Issuing Banks authorize 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 the Issuing Banks hereby authorize 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 the Issuing Banks; 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.

74

(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;

(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.

(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:

75


(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;

(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 Bank 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 Bank and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(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 Bank 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.

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.

(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 Bank 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.

82

(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.

(d) If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(e) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but has not been obtained being referred to herein as a “ Non-Consenting Lender ”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity (other than any Ineligible Institution) which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.  Each party hereto agrees that (a) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (b) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

83

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

86

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, such fee to be paid by either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender or shared between such Lenders; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:

Approved Fund ” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

Ineligible Institution ” means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender or its Lender Parent, (c) the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates, or (d) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

87

(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.

(v) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed 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), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “ Participant ”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(d) as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “ Participant Register ”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

88

(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.

SECTION 9.05.  Survival.   All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

SECTION 9.06.  Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.   This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any  document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act .

89

SECTION 9.07.  Severability.   Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08.  Right of Setoff.   If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held, and other obligations at any time owing, by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(b) Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, notwithstanding the governing law provisions of any applicable Loan Document, any claims brought against the Administrative Agent by any Lender relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the consummation or administration of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(d) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(e) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND  ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

92

SECTION 9.13.  USA PATRIOT Act.   Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.14.  Releases of Subsidiary Guarantors.

(a) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise.  In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Further, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to), upon the request of the Borrower, release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty if such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Material Domestic Subsidiary.

(c) At such time as the principal and interest on the Loans, all LC Disbursements, the fees, expenses and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents and the other Obligations (other than obligations under any Swap Agreement and other Obligations expressly stated to survive such payment and termination) shall have been paid in full in cash, the Commitments shall have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (unless cash collateralized), the Subsidiary Guaranty and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of each Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

SECTION 9.15.  Interest Rate Limitation.   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.16.  No Fiduciary Duty, etc..   The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person.  The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction.  The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.

93

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.

In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower or its Subsidiaries may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise.  No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies.  The Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.

SECTION 9.17.  Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

PLAN DESCRIPTION

A Director may elect, in accordance with Article III hereof, to defer receipt of all or a specified part of his or her Annual Fee.  The Company will maintain an Account for each Participant into which the deferred portion of his or her Annual Fee will be credited on the date the Director would otherwise be entitled to receive such amount.  For each Annual Period, sums credited to the Account will accrue an interest equivalent from the date they are credited at a rate equal to the annual LIBOR rate plus 6 points or such other annual rate as determined by the Committee prior to the beginning of each Annual Period; provided that any such determination of the Committee shall be limited by, and made in accordance with, Section 409A and any guidance issued thereunder.  The accrued interest equivalent shall be credited to the Account on each Adjustment Date, and shall thereafter be subject to subsequent accruals of an interest equivalent.

3

Each year, prior to the beginning of the Annual Period, a Participant may elect to have the deferred portion of his or her Annual Fee for such Annual Period treated as if invested in units of Common Stock of the Company (“ Stock Units ”), in lieu of having the Account credited with an interest equivalent as provided in the preceding paragraph.  In the event of such an election, Stock Units will be deemed to be acquired on the last day of each quarter for the deferred portion of the Annual Fee credited to the Account for that quarter.  Dividend equivalents in the form of additional Stock Units will be credited to the Account as of the date of payment of cash dividends on the Company’s Common Stock.  A Stock Unit shall be deemed to be equal in value to a share of Common Stock of the Company at the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the first date of particular determination, or if the date of determination is not a trading day on the New York Stock Exchange, on the next succeeding trading day.  In case of a split or other subdivision of the Company’s Common Stock, Stock Units will be similarly deemed to be split or subdivided.  At each Adjustment Date, a Participant’s Account that has been credited with Stock Units shall be valued on the basis of shares of the Company’s Common Stock at that date, taking into account any increase or decrease in the market value of the Company’s Common Stock.

For an Annual Period, a Participant must affirmatively elect to have the deferred portion of his or her Annual Fee for such period treated as if invested in Stock Units.  Such an election must be made prior to the first day of the applicable Annual Period and shall apply to the deferred portion of the Annual Fee for the entire Annual Period.  After such an election is made, the Participant may, for any subsequent Annual Period, change his or her election to have the deferred portion of the Annual Fee for future Annual Periods credited with an interest equivalent.  Any amounts previously treated as invested in Stock Units will continue to be so treated as invested in Stock Units, except that at any time following a Participant’s Termination Date, if he or she has not elected to be paid a lump sum, then he or she may elect, by written notice to the Company, to have the Stock Units in his or her Account converted into a dollar value as of the next Adjustment Date to thereafter accrue an interest equivalent on the value of the Account.

The amount payable from a Participant’s Account shall be determined on the basis of the value of the Account as of the Adjustment Date last preceding the date of payment plus any deferrals credited to and less any distributions made from such Account since such Adjustment Date.  The amount of each payment made with respect to an Account shall be deducted from the balance of such Account at the time of payment.

The Participant’s Account, as determined in accordance with the preceding paragraph, will be distributed to the Participant, in accordance with the Participant’s election, either (i) in annual installments not exceeding ten (10) years or (ii) in a lump sum; such installments shall begin, or lump sum payment shall be made, as soon as practicable following the Participant’s Termination Date; provided however, that with respect to any Participant who is treated as a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A) for the year in which the Termination Date occurs, to the extent required by Code Section 409A, such lump sum distribution or the first annual installment (as the case may be) shall be delayed until the date which is six (6) months after the Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death).  Any such election by the Participant must be made on an “Election and Agreement to Defer Director’s Fees” as provided by the Company (an “ Election Agreement ”).  Such distribution election must be made in advance of the performance of services during the Annual Period for which an election to participate in the Plan is or has been made and shall be irrevocable; provided however, a change in the form of the payment may be made if the change is (i) made at least twelve (12) months before the first payment is scheduled to commence, and (ii) such change results in each payment being made no earlier than five (5) years after such payment was scheduled to begin under the prior election.  However, no such change may result in the acceleration of any payment in violation of Section 409A.

4

Upon a Participant’s Termination Date, the Participant’s distribution shall be made in accordance with the distribution election made on the Election Agreement for the Annual Period or periods for which the election applies.  If the Participant fails to make an election, the Participant’s Account will be paid in annual installments over a ten (10) year period.  If the Participant is paid in installments, the interest equivalent sum will continue to accrue on the undisbursed balance of the Account and the Stock Units will continue to be credited with dividend equivalents on the Stock Units remaining in the Account.  All distributions will be deemed to be made pro rata from the interest equivalent balance and from the value of Stock Units, with the portion of the distribution from Stock Units being treated as if an equivalent number of Stock Units had been sold (without commission or other expense) as of the last Adjustment Date in order to make the distribution.  The preceding provisions of this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Participant’s Termination Date occurs on or within two (2) years after a Change of Control, the Participant’s Account will be distributed to the Participant either in a lump sum within five days of the Change of Control or in annual installments not exceeding ten (10) years, whichever is elected by the Participant in a separate election on a form for such purpose as provided by the Company, which election shall be made at the time of the Participant’s initial election to participate in the Plan and shall be irrevocable; provided, however, that the Participant may change this separate distribution election subsequent to the initial election with the new election to be effective only in the event that the new election is made (i) made at least twelve (12) months before the first payment is scheduled to commence, and (ii) such change results in each payment being made no earlier than five (5) years after such payment was scheduled to begin under the prior election.  However, no such change may result in the acceleration of any payment in violation of Section 409A.  Provided further that, with respect to any Participant who is treated as a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A) for the year in which the Termination Date occurs, to the extent required by Code Section 409A, such lump sum distribution or the first annual installment (as the case may be) shall be delayed until the date which is six (6) months after the Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death).

Upon the death of a Participant prior to the receipt of any or all of the installments of his or her Account, such installments as are then unpaid shall be paid in full as soon as practicable following the date of his or her death, to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated in writing on a form provided by the Company and filed with the Secretary of the Company by the Participant during his lifetime or, upon failure to make such designation or if such designee or designees shall have predeceased Participant, then to the Participant’s estate.  The Participant shall have the right to change the beneficiary designation from time to time by instrument in writing delivered to the Secretary of the Company.

III.
ELECTION TO BECOME A PARTICIPANT

A Director desiring to become a Participant shall execute an Election Agreement as shall be provided by the Company.  This election shall be made in advance of the performance of services during the Annual Period for which an election to participate in this Plan is being made and shall be irrevocable for such Annual Period.  A Participant who is participating in the Plan may change his or her election for a subsequent Annual Period by executing an Election Agreement as shall be provided by the Company prior to the performance of services for such Annual Period, and such subsequent election shall be irrevocable for such Annual Period.

IV.
TERMINATION OF ELECTION

Participation in the Plan may not be terminated prior to the end of an Annual Period and shall be continued unless the Participant executes a new election for the next Annual Period to not participate.  All amounts credited to a Participant’s Account shall remain in the Account to be distributed or forfeited in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.

V.
MAINTENANCE OF ACCOUNT

The Company shall maintain an Account on behalf of each Participant in the form and manner prescribed by acceptable accounting standards, and shall make a report of same in writing within 90 days after the end of Annual Period to each Participant.

VI.
UNFUNDED PLAN

This Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the ERISA.  Neither the Company nor the Board of Directors shall be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid under this Plan.  Said amounts shall continue for all purposes to be a part of the general funds of the Company, and no person other than the Company shall, by virtue of the provisions of this Plan, have any interest in such funds.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.  Any liability of the Company to any Participant with respect to a payment to be made under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations which may be created by or pursuant to this Plan; no such obligation shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or any encumbrance on any property of the Company.

VII.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

The Board of Directors may terminate this Plan at any time.  A termination of the Plan shall be effective at the end of the Annual Period in which the Directors vote to terminate the Plan.  The Board of Directors may amend this Plan at any time.

6

Any provision of this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no amendment to or termination of this Plan shall reduce the amounts actually credited to a Participant’s Account as of the date of such amendment or termination; further defer the dates for the payment of such amounts without the consent of the affected Participant; or accelerate the date for the payment of such amounts to be made or annual installments to begin.

The preceding provisions of this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, no action taken on or within two years following a Change of Control to amend or terminate this Plan shall be effective unless written consent thereto is obtained from a majority of the Participants who were Directors immediately prior to such Change of Control.

VIII.
EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION

This Plan shall become effective as of the date that the separation from Trinity Industries, Inc. and its affiliates is consummated (the “ Effective Date ”).  This Plan shall remain in effect until it is terminated by the Board of Directors in accordance with Article VII above.

IX.

This Plan and the rights of all persons under the Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Texas.

X.
RESTRAINTS ON ALIENATION

For Stock Units transferred from the Prior Plan that relate to Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2004, for purposes of calculating the number of Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Matching Contribution Account or Additional Matching Contribution Account, the price of a Stock Unit shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the average daily closing price on the New York Stock Exchange of a Share of the Company’s common stock for the Year with respect to which the Stock Units are credited to the Participant’s Accounts, provided that for Stock Units credited with respect to the Year ending March 31, 2000, such average daily closing price shall be calculated for the period beginning on January 1, 2000 and ending on such March 31, 2000.

Following the Date of Divestiture, no future contributions will be allowed to be invested into Stock Units. Participants will have 18 months from the Date of Divestiture to evaluate the Plan’s fund line up and select where assets currently invested in Stock Units should be deemed to be invested. If after 18 months, any Stock Units remain as a deemed investment in a Participant’s Account, such Stock Units will be liquidated and the proceeds deemed to be invested in an appropriate investment alternative as selected by the Committee.
 

(c)
Voting Rights . A Participant shall not be entitled to any voting rights with respect to the Stock Units credited or deemed credited to his Accounts.
 

(d)

(2)
In the event of a change in the shares of the Company’s common stock as presently constituted, which is limited to a change of par value into the same number of shares with a different par value or without par value, the shares of the Company’s common stock resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be the shares of common stock within the meaning of this Plan.
 
Any adjustments made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall be final, binding, and conclusive.
 
Except as hereinbefore provided in this Section 5.04 , a Participant to whose Account Stock Units are allocated shall have no rights by reason of (i) any subdivision or consolidation of the Company’s stock or securities, (ii) the payment of any stock dividend or (iii) any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or by reason of any dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, merger, or consolidation or spinoff of assets or stock of another corporation, and any issuance by the Company of additional shares of stock (of any class), or securities convertible into shares of stock (of any class), shall not affect the number of Stock Units allocated to such Participant’s Accounts under this Plan.

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this subparagraph 0 , for amounts credited to a Participant’s Matching Contribution Account and Discretionary  Contribution Account, if any, pursuant to the terms of the Prior Plan, if the Participant’s termination of employment is attributable to Retirement, he shall under all circumstances be entitled to one hundred percent (100%) of such amounts.


(d)

6.04
Death

If a Participant dies while in the service of an Employer, or after termination of employment with the Employers and prior to the complete distribution of all amounts payable to him under the Plan, any remaining amounts payable to the Participant hereunder shall be payable to his Beneficiary. The Committee shall cause the Trustee (to the extent provided in the Trust) or the Treasurer of the Employer, as applicable, to pay to such Beneficiary all of the amounts then standing to the credit of the Participant in his Accounts, with such payment to be made at the time and in the manner specified in Section 6.02 hereof.

23


(b)
Unforeseeable Emergency . A distribution may be made to or on behalf of a Participant prior to his or her termination of employment to the extent that the Participant demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Committee, that he or she has encountered an Unforeseeable Emergency. The amount distributed to a Participant on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency may not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy such Emergency, plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship).
 
A Participant’s Compensation Reduction Agreement shall be terminated as soon as administratively feasible following the Participant’s receipt of a distribution due to Unforeseeable Emergency.


6.06
Designation of Beneficiary

Each Participant from time to time may designate any person or persons (who may be designated contingently or successively and who may be an entity other than a natural person) as his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to whom his Plan benefits are paid if he dies before receipt of all such benefits. Each Beneficiary designation shall be on a form prescribed by the Committee and shall be effective only when filed with the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime. Each Beneficiary designation filed with the Committee shall cancel all Beneficiary designations previously filed with the Committee. The revocation of a Beneficiary designation, no matter how effected, shall not require the consent of any designated Beneficiary.
 
If any Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary in the mariner provided herein, or if the Beneficiary designated by a deceased Participant dies before him or before complete distribution of the Participant’s benefits, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may direct the Trustee to distribute such Participant’s benefits (or the balance thereof) to his surviving spouse or to either:


(a)
any one or more of the next of kin of such Participant, and in such proportions as the Committee determines; or
 

(b)
the estate of the last to die of such Participant and his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries.
 
ARTICLE VII
NATURE OF PLAN; FUNDING


7.01
No Trust Required

The adoption of this Plan and the segregation of amounts by the Employers with which to discharge their obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to create a trust (other than the Trust which is a Rabbi Trust and not a tax qualified Code Section 501 Trust); legal and equitable title to any funds so set aside shall remain with the Employers, and any recipient of benefits hereunder shall have no security or other interest in such funds. Any and all funds so set aside shall remain subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Employers, present and future. This provision shall not require the Employers to set aside any funds, but the Employers may set aside funds if they choose to do so.

24


7.02
Funding of Obligation
 
Section 7.01 above to the contrary notwithstanding, the Employers may elect to transfer assets to the Trust, the provisions of which shall at all times require the use of the Trust’s assets to satisfy claims of an Employer’s general unsecured creditors in the event of such Employer’s insolvency and direct that no Participant shall at any time have a prior claim to such assets. The assets of the Trust shall not be deemed to be assets of this Plan.
 
ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION
 

8.01
Appointment of Committee
 
The Board of Directors of the Company shall appoint a Plan Committee to administer, construe and interpret the Plan. Such Committee, or such successor Committee as may be duly appointed by such Board of Directors, shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. All usual and reasonable expenses of the Committee shall be paid by the Employers. Decisions of the Committee with respect to any matter involving the Plan shall be final and binding on the Company, its shareholders, each Employer and all officers and other executives of the Employers. For purposes of ERISA, the Committee shall be the “plan administrator.”
 

8.02
Duties of Committee
 
The Committee shall maintain complete and adequate records pertaining to the Plan, including but not limited to Participants’ Accounts, amounts transferred to the Trust, reports from the Trustee and all other records that shall be necessary or desirable in the proper administration of the Plan. The Committee shall furnish the Trustee such information as is required to be furnished by the Committee or the Company pursuant to the Trust. The Committee may employ such persons or appoint such agents to assist it in the performance of its duties as it may deem appropriate, including the Administrator. If a member of the Committee is a Participant hereunder, such Committee member shall be precluded from participation in any decision relative to his benefits under the Plan.


8.03
Indemnification of Committee

The Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Committee and the Administrator (the “Indemnified Parties”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any of the Indemnified Parties may become subject to the extent that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or actions in respect thereof arise out of or are based on any act or omission of the Indemnified Party in connection with the administration of this Plan (other than any act or omission of such Indemnified Party constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct), and will reimburse the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Promptly after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to any loss, claim, damage or liability against which the Indemnified Party believes he or she is indemnified, the Indemnified Party shall, if a claim with respect thereto is to be made against the Indemnifying Party, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party to the extent the Indemnifying Party is not prejudiced by such omission. If any such action or proceeding shall be brought against the Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or reasonable expenses of actions taken at the written request of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any compromise or settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

25


8.04
Unclaimed Benefits

During the time when a benefit hereunder is payable to any Participant or Beneficiary,  the Committee may, at its own instance, mail by registered or certified mail to such Participant or Beneficiary, at his last known address, a written demand for his then address, or for satisfactory evidence of his continued life, or both. If such information is not furnished to the Committee within twelve (12) months from the mailing of such demand, then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare such benefit, or any unpaid portion thereof, suspended, with the result that such unclaimed benefit shall be treated as a Forfeiture for the Year with or within which such twelve (12)-month period ends, but shall be subject to restoration through an Employer contribution if the lost Participant or Beneficiary later files a claim for such benefit.
 
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
 

9.01
Nonguarantee of Employment

Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment between any Employer and any Employee, or as a right of any Employee to be continued in the employment of any Employer, or as a limitation on the right of an Employer to discharge any of its Employees, with or without cause.
 

9.02
Nonalienation of Benefits

Benefits payable under this Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution, or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary, prior to actually being received by the person entitled to the benefit under the terms of the Plan; and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any right to benefits payable hereunder shall be void.
 

9.03
No Preference
 
No Participant shall have any preference over the general creditors of an Employer in the event of such Employer’s insolvency.
 
26


9.04
Incompetence of Recipient
 
If the Committee receives evidence satisfactory to it that any person entitled to receive a payment hereunder is, at the time the benefit is payable, physically, mentally or legally incompetent to receive such payment and to give a valid receipt therefor, and that an individual or institution is then maintaining or has custody of such person and that no guardian, committee or other representative of the estate of such person has been duly appointed, the Committee may direct that such payment be paid to such individual or institution maintaining or having custody of such person, and the receipt of such individual or institution shall be valid and a complete discharge for the payment of such benefit.
 

9.05
Texas Law to Apply
 
THIS PLAN SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW.
 

9.06
Claims Procedure/Arbitration
 
If any person (hereinafter called the “Claimant”) feels that he or she is being denied a benefit to which he or she is entitled under this Plan, such Claimant may file a written claim for said benefit with the Committee. Within sixty (60) days following the receipt of such claim the Committee shall determine and notify the Claimant as to whether he or  she is entitled to such benefit. Such notification shall be in writing and, if denying the claim for benefit, shall set forth the specific reason or reasons for the denial, make specific reference to the pertinent provisions of this Plan, and advise the Claimant that he or she may, within sixty (60) days following the receipt of such notice, in writing request to appear before the Committee or its designated representative for a hearing to review such denial. Any such hearing shall be scheduled at the mutual convenience of the Committee or its designated representative and the Claimant, and at any such hearing the Claimant and/or his or her duly authorized representative may examine any documents relevant to the benefit claim and present evidence and arguments to support the granting of the benefit being claimed. The final decision of the Committee with respect to the claim being reviewed shall be made within sixty (60) days following the hearing thereon, and the Committee shall in writing notify the Claimant of said final decision, again specifying the reasons therefor and the pertinent provisions of this Plan upon which said final decision is based. The final decision of the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all parties having or claiming to have an interest in the matter being reviewed.
 
Any dispute or controversy arising out of, or relating to, the payment of benefits pursuant to this Plan shall be settled by arbitration in Dallas, Texas (or, if applicable law requires some other forum, then such other forum) in accordance with the rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration Association. The District Court of Dallas County, Texas or, as the case may be, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas shall have jurisdiction for all purposes in connection with any such arbitration. Any process or notice of motion or other application to either of said courts, and any paper in connection with arbitration, may be served by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by personal service or in such other manner as may be permissible under the rules of the applicable court or arbitration tribunal, provided a reasonable time for appearance is allowed. Arbitration proceedings must be instituted within one (1) year after the claimed breach occurred, and the failure to institute arbitration proceedings within such period shall constitute an absolute bar to the institution of any proceedings, and a waiver of all claims, with respect to such breach.

27


9.07
Reimbursement of Costs
 
In the event that a dispute arises between a Participant or Beneficiary and the Company or other Employer with respect to the payment of benefits hereunder, and attorney’s fees, expenses and costs are incurred by either party in the course of litigation or otherwise, the party against whom the other party has been successful in such dispute shall reimburse such other party for the full amount of any such attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs.
 

9.08
Acceleration of Payment
 
In the event that the Internal Revenue Service formally assesses a deficiency against a Participant on the grounds that an amount credited to such Participant’s Accounts under this Plan is subject to federal income tax (the “Reclassified Amount”) earlier than the time payment otherwise would be made to the Participant pursuant to this Plan, then the Committee shall direct the Employer maintaining such Participant’s Accounts to pay to such Participant and deduct from such Account the Reclassified Amount. To the extent possible, such payment will be made in a manner permitted under Code Section 409A and any guidance issued thereunder so as to comply with such Code Section.
 

9.09
Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. Accordingly, all provisions herein, or incorporated by reference, shall be construed and interpreted to comply with Code Section 409A. All payments to be made upon a Participant’s termination of employment may only be made upon a separation from service under Code Section 409A and no payment shall be permitted unless such termination qualifies as a separation from service under Code Section 409A. In no event may the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of a payment.
 
ARTICLE X
AMENDMENTS OR TERMINATION OF PLAN


10.01
Amendment
 
The Board of Directors of the Company, in its sole and unfettered discretion, may amend the Plan at any time, provided such amendment does not contravene the provisions of Code Section 409A and related guidance issued thereunder and Section 10.03 hereof.
 

10.02
Termination

The Board of Directors of Company may freeze the Plan, in its sole and unfettered discretion, at any time, as to eligibility or future contributions; provided, however, that distributions pursuant to the Plan shall not thereby be accelerated but payment shall be made at the time and in the manner specified under ARTICLE VI hereof. The Plan will remain in place, as frozen, until all amounts are distributed as required pursuant to the Plan terms. The Board of Directors of the Company may terminate the Plan, in its sole and unfettered discretion and, upon termination of this Plan (and all similar plans sponsored by the Company that are required to be aggregated with the Plan under Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2)), the Board of Directors may, in its sole and absolute discretion, subject only to compliance with Code Section 409A restrictions and requirements for plan termination distributions, direct that all benefits hereunder will be paid as soon as administratively practicable thereafter.

28


10.03
Rights of Participants
 
No amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall deprive a Participant of the vested amounts allocated to his or her Accounts as of such date. No amendment, suspension, or termination shall be retroactive in effect to the prejudice of any Participant, except to the extent necessary to comply with any provision of federal or applicable state laws or except to the extent necessary to prevent detriment to the Company or any of its Affiliates, or the current taxation of Participants under Code Section 409A and any guidance issued thereunder, as so determined by the Board in its sole and unfettered discretion. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event it is determined by the Board, in its sole and unfettered discretion, that any provision in this Plan results in a violation of the requirements of Code Section 409A, any Regulations or guidance issued thereunder, or any other applicable law or Regulation, the Board, and any authorized officer so appointed by the Board, shall have the power unilaterally to modify or eliminate any such provision.

Any provision of this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no action to modify, amend, supplement, suspend or terminate the Plan on or after the date of a Change in Control shall be effective without the consent of a majority of the Participants in the Plan at the time of such action.
 
ARTICLE XI
WITHDRAWING EMPLOYERS; TRANSFER TO SUCCESSOR PLAN

(b)
the Company shall transfer, deliver and assign any and all benefit obligations under this Plan which relate to Participants who are employees of the withdrawing Participating Employer or its subsidiaries to the Successor Plan; and
 

(c)
the withdrawing Participating Employer shall be deemed to have consented to the adoption of the Successor Plan.
 
29

For purposes of this provision, the Successor Plan shall treat all benefit obligations described under (b) above as if they had accrued due to an individual’s service with the withdrawing Participating Employer. Subsequent to the withdrawing Participating Employer’s adoption of the Successor Plan, and the transfer of benefit obligations from this Plan to the Successor Plan, Participants whose benefits were transferred to the Successor Plan shall not be entitled to receive any amounts from this Plan which relate to benefit obligations which accrued prior to the transfer.


11.02
Compliance with Code Section 409A With Regard Article XI

Exhibit 99.1



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Arcosa, Inc. Begins Trading on New York Stock Exchange Under ACA Ticker Symbol

DALLAS, TX - ARCOSA, Inc. - November 1, 2018:
Arcosa, Inc. (NYSE: ACA) (“Arcosa”), a growth-oriented manufacturer of infrastructure-related products and services, today marks its first day as an independent public company following its successful separation from Trinity Industries, Inc. The spin-off was effected through a pro rata distribution of all outstanding Arcosa shares to Trinity’s stockholders and is intended to qualify as a tax free distribution for federal income tax purposes.

Regular-way trading on the New York Stock Exchange begins today under the ACA ticker symbol

Arcosa President and CEO, Antonio Carrillo, commented, “Arcosa is entering the public markets as a strong, independent company with established businesses serving the construction, energy, and transportation industries. A healthy, nearly-debt free balance sheet and strong operating cash flow provide us with significant resources to grow both organically and through disciplined acquisitions.

“Our stage one priorities are to grow our construction products businesses, improve margins in our energy equipment segment, and expand our transportation products businesses as our key markets recover. In particular, we expect the emerging barge recovery to give us positive momentum moving into 2019.”

Mr. Carrillo concluded, “Finally, we are building a new company. On this journey, we are committed to establishing credibility with our many stakeholders, including the investment community, our customers and suppliers, our team members throughout the organization, and the communities in which we operate. We look forward to keeping everyone informed of our progress.”

Reaffirms Fiscal Year 2019 Earnings Guidance

At its Investor Day on October 4, 2018, Arcosa established financial guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, providing forecasted ranges for revenue and EBITDA. Today, Arcosa is reaffirming its annual revenue guidance of between $1.55 and $1.65 billion and its EBITDA guidance of between $180 and $195 million.

972.942.6500
arcosa.com


As discussed at Investor Day, the Company’s fiscal year 2019 guidance includes:


·
Positives from 2018: Emerging barge recovery positively impacting the Transportation Products segment; margin improvement in the Energy Equipment segment; and continued strength in the Construction Products segment

·
Challenges from 2018: Between $10 and $15 million of forecasted incremental standalone public company costs and lower anticipated margins in the steel components business due to lower 2019 contractual pricing

Refer to the supplemental table that accompanies this release for a reconciliation of projected net income to EBITDA for 2019.

Executes $400 million unsecured five-year revolving credit facility

In conjunction with its establishment as a standalone company, Arcosa executed a $400 million unsecured credit facility with a maturity date of November 2023. The facility is available for general corporate purposes and includes customary terms and conditions.

“With robust operating cash-flow generation and a strong balance sheet, Arcosa is well- positioned to execute on our strategy to grow in attractive markets where we can achieve sustainable competitive advantages, reduce the complexity and cyclicality of the overall business, and improve our return on invested capital,” stated Scott Beasley, Arcosa’s CFO.

Reconciliation of Fiscal Year 2019 EBITDA Guidance
(in millions)
(unaudited)

“EBITDA” is defined as net income plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation based on generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts included in the EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the historical statements of operations data. In addition, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity. We believe EBITDA assists investors in comparing a company’s performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors.
