Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On October 30, 2018, McDermott International, Inc. (“McDermott,” “we” or “us”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investment funds managed by the Merchant Banking Division of The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (collectively, the “Purchasers”) to issue and sell in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) (1) 300,000 shares of 12% Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Redeemable Preferred Stock”), and (2) a number of Series A warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”) equal to the product of 3.75% times the total number of shares of our common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Stock”), outstanding as of the Closing Date (as defined below), with an initial exercise price per share of $0.01, subject to certain adjustments, for a total purchase price of $289.5 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes, including the funding of working capital requirements. The closing of the Private Placement (the “Closing” and the date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”) is expected to occur on or about November 29, 2018, subject to certain closing conditions, including the entry into and the availability of the Letter of Credit Agreement (as defined below).

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of McDermott and the Purchasers, and the parties have agreed to indemnify each other and their affiliates against certain losses resulting from breaches of their respective representations, warranties and covenants. The Purchasers have also agreed to refrain from taking certain corporate actions regarding McDermott.

Certificate of Designation

In connection with the Closing, we will establish the rights and preferences of the shares of the Redeemable Preferred Stock pursuant to a Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designation”), which will be in addition to any rights and preferences of our preferred stock provided for in our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended. The Redeemable Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up.

Dividends and Maturity

The Redeemable Preferred Stock will initially have an Accreted Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) of $1,000 per share. The holders of record of the Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Holders”) will be entitled to receive cumulative compounding preferred cash dividends quarterly in arrears at a fixed rate of 12.0% per annum compounded quarterly (of which 3.0% accrues each quarter) on the Accreted Value per share (the “Dividend Rate”). The cash dividends are payable only when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. If a cash dividend is not declared and paid in respect of any dividend payment period ending on or prior to December 31, 2021, then the Accreted Value of each outstanding share of Redeemable Preferred Stock will automatically be increased by the amount of the dividend otherwise payable for such dividend payment period, except that the applicable dividend rate for this purpose is 13.0% per annum. Such automatic increase in the Accreted Value of each outstanding share of Redeemable Preferred Stock is in full satisfaction of the preferred dividend that would have otherwise accrued for such dividend payment period. If we fail to pay in full any cash dividends when due and payable for any quarter after December 31, 2021, then the Holders will be entitled to additional rights, as described below.

The Redeemable Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless repurchased or redeemed by us.

Liquidation Right

The Redeemable Preferred Stock will have a liquidation preference equal to the then applicable Minimum Return (the “Liquidation Preference”) plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Liquidation Preference will initially be equal to $1,200. The “Minimum Return” is equal to a multiple of MOIC (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) as follows, exclusive of cash dividends previously paid:

•

prior to January 1, 2020, a MOIC multiple of 1.2;

•

on or after January 1, 2020 but prior to January 1, 2022, a MOIC multiple of 1.25;

•

on or after January 1, 2022 but prior to January 1, 2023, a MOIC multiple of 1.20;

•

on or after January 1, 2023 but prior to January 1, 2025, a MOIC multiple of 1.15; and

•

on or after January 1, 2025, a MOIC multiple of 1.20.

Optional Redemption

We may redeem the Redeemable Preferred Stock at any time for an amount per share of Redeemable Preferred Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference of each such share plus all accrued dividends on such share (such amount per share, the “Redemption Consideration”).

Holder Redemption Right

At any time after the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, each Holder may elect to have us fully redeem such Holder’s then outstanding Redeemable Preferred Stock in cash, to the extent we have funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price per share equal to the Redemption Consideration for each share.

Change of Control

Upon a change of control (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), if we have not previously redeemed the Redeemable Preferred Stock as described under “—Optional Redemption” and the Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Redeemable Preferred Stock do not agree with us to an alternative treatment, then in connection with such change of control, each Holder may elect either: (1) to cause us to redeem all, but not less than all, of its outstanding Redeemable Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share equal to the Redemption Consideration, which will be payable in full in cash or, if any of the 10.625% senior notes due 2024 issued by certain of our subsidiaries (and guaranteed by us) are then outstanding, payable partially in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the Share Purchase Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) (or such lower amount as may be required under the indenture governing such senior notes) and the remainder in Common Stock based on a per share price equal to 96% of the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the 10 trading days prior to the announcement of such change of control; (2) to receive a substantially equivalent security to the Redeemable Preferred Stock in the surviving entity of the change of control; or (3) to continue to hold the Redeemable Preferred Stock if we are the surviving entity in the change of control. However, any such redemption in cash will be tolled until a date that will not result in the Redeemable Preferred Stock being characterized as “disqualified stock,” “disqualified equity interest” or a similar concept under our debt instruments.

Consent Rights; Board Observer

So long as there are any shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding, the consent of the Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock will be necessary for us or any of our wholly owned subsidiaries to effect, subject to certain exceptions: (1) any amendment, modification, alteration or supplement to our amended and restated articles of incorporation or the Certificate of Designation in a manner that would adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or power of the Redeemable Preferred Stock; (2) the issuance of stock senior to or on parity with the Redeemable Preferred Stock, or convertible or exercisable into such senior or parity stock, or preferred stock that would share voting rights with the Redeemable Preferred Stock; (3) a filing for bankruptcy or certain comparable actions; (4) certain distributions on or repurchases of the Common Stock or junior stock; (5) the incurrence of indebtedness that would cause us to exceed a specified leverage ratio; (6) the entry into or amendment of certain debt agreements that would expressly prohibit or be more restrictive on dividends or redemption payments on the Redeemable Preferred Stock than those existing on the Closing Date; (7) the entry into a change of control transaction if our debt agreements would prohibit or otherwise prevent the redemption contemplated under “—Change of Control” above, unless we redeem or otherwise satisfy the Redeemable Preferred Stock in cash at the Minimum Return plus accrued and unpaid dividends prior to or concurrently with such change of control transaction; (8) certain restricted payments and payments on junior priority indebtedness; (9) certain equity issuances of subsidiaries or, if prohibited under our debt agreements, the formation of certain subsidiaries or the making of certain investments; or (10) certain transactions with affiliates.

For as long as the Purchasers own at least 51% of the outstanding shares of the Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Purchasers will be entitled to designate one board observer to attend meetings of our Board of Directors, except during the term of office of any Preferred Director (as defined below). For so long as the Purchasers own at least 25% but less than 51% of the outstanding shares of the Redeemable Preferred Stock, other than during the term of office of any Preferred Director, the Purchasers will be entitled to receive, upon request, the same materials that a board observer would have received but will not be entitled to attend meetings of our Board of Directors.

Additional Holder Rights

If we fail to pay in full any cash dividends when due and payable for any quarter after December 31, 2021, then, until such failure is cured by payment in full of all arrearages: (1) dividends on the Preferred Stock will thereafter accrue at the Dividend Rate plus an additional 0.25% per dividend payment period (1.0% per annum) upon each such failure up to an additional 1.0% per dividend payment period (4.0% per annum) in the aggregate (the “Payment Default Rate”); and (2) the amount of such accrued but unpaid cash dividends will constitute arrearages that accrue and accumulate (and compound quarterly) at the Dividend Rate plus the Payment Default Rate until paid.

Furthermore, if we fail to pay in cash the quarterly dividend in respect of any two consecutive quarters after December 31, 2021 or if at any time we fail to redeem the Redeemable Preferred Stock in cash as required by the Certificate of Designation in connection with a Holder’s exercise of its redemption right or in connection with a change of control, then a majority of the Holders of the then-outstanding shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, will be entitled to elect one director (the “Preferred Director”) to our Board of Directors to serve until such time as all such dividends in arrears or redemption payments, as applicable, have been paid in full in cash.

Preferred Stock Rights and Preferences under the Articles of Incorporation

Our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, provide for certain rights and preferences of any outstanding class of our preferred stock, including:

•

restrictions on: (1) if we have failed to pay dividends on any preferred stock, redemptions or repurchases of less than all of the then-outstanding preferred stock until such failure is cured; (2) certain distributions on or repurchases of the Common Stock or junior stock; (3) any amendment, alteration or repeal of the preferred stock provisions of the articles of incorporation or the authorizing resolutions of the preferred stock in a manner that adversely effects the preferences, rights or powers of the preferred stock; and (4) the creation of stock senior to preferred stock; and

•

if dividends payable on any series of preferred stock (including the Redeemable Preferred Stock) remain unpaid in an aggregate amount equivalent to six full quarterly dividends, then the holders of preferred stock, voting as a separate class, would be entitled to elect two directors. The Certificate of Designation will state that the Preferred Director will constitute one of those two directors.

Warrant Agreement

In connection with the Closing, we, Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. will enter into a Warrant Agreement to, among other things, authorize and establish the terms of the Warrants. The Warrants will be exercisable at any time after the earlier of (i) any Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) or the commencement of proceedings for the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company and (ii) the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and from time to time, in whole or in part, until the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date. The Warrants are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Closing, we will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers at the Closing, pursuant to which we will agree to provide certain registration and other rights for the benefit of the Purchasers.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Warrant Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein, and the Certificate of Designation, the Form of Registration Rights Agreement and the Form of Warrant Agreement, which are attached as exhibits to the Purchase Agreement and incorporated by reference herein.

Any securities described in this report that have been offered or are to be offered have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

New Letter of Credit Agreement

Also on October 30, 2018, we, as guarantor, entered into a Letter of Credit Agreement (the “Letter of Credit Agreement”) with McDermott Technology (Americas), Inc., McDermott Technology (US), Inc. and McDermott Technology, B.V., each a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, as co-applicants, McDermott, as a guarantor, a syndicate of participants and letter of credit issuers, and Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent.

The Letter of Credit Agreement provides for a facility for extensions of credit in the form of performance letters of credit in the aggregate face amount of up to $230 million (the “LC Facility”). Before any letters of credit can be issued under the LC Facility, we must have received the proceeds from the Private Placement and we must satisfy other closing conditions that we believe are customary.

The LC Facility is scheduled to mature three years after the initial utilization date. The obligations under the Letter of Credit Agreement will be unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by McDermott and substantially all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, other than the co-applicants (which are directly obligated thereunder) and several captive insurance subsidiaries and certain other designated or immaterial subsidiaries. The liens securing the LC Facility will rank equal in priority with the liens securing obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Letter of Credit Agreement includes financial and other covenants and provisions relating to events of default that are substantially the same as those in our existing Credit Agreement.

The co-applicants are charged a commitment fee of 0.50% per year on the daily amount of the unused portions of the commitments under the LC Facility. Additionally, with respect to all letters of credit outstanding under the Letter of Credit Agreement, the co-applicants are charged a fronting fee of 0.25% per year and, with respect to all letters of credit outstanding under the LC Facility, the co-applicants are charged a participation fee of between 1.875% to 2.125% per year depending on our leverage ratio. The co-applicants are also required to pay customary issuance fees and other fees and expenses in connection with the issuance of letters of credit under the Letter of Credit Agreement. On the initial utilization date, we will pay upfront fees and other fees to the participants, arrangers and the agent for the Letter of Credit Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Letter of Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter of Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information regarding the Private Placement set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Private Placement of the Redeemable Preferred Stock and Warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be undertaken in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof. To the extent that any shares of the Common Stock are issued upon exercise of the warrants by a Warrant holder, they will be issued in transactions anticipated to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) thereof. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Warrants will be determined as described in Item 1.01.

Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On October 30, 2018, a duly authorized committee of our Board of Directors adopted and approved the Certificate of Designation.

For so long as Purchaser and its Permitted Transferees (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is the Beneficial Owner of less than 51% but at least 25% of the outstanding shares of the Redeemable Preferred Stock and other than during the term of office of any 12% Redeemable Preferred Director, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive, upon request, the same materials that a Board Observer would have received (subject to customary confidentiality restrictions) but shall not be entitled to receive notice of or attend any meetings of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 5. Liquidation Rights.

(a) In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder shall be entitled to receive, in respect of each share of Redeemable Preferred Stock held of record by such Holder, and to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for such purposes, an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference plus all Accrued Dividends on such shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock as of the date of such liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation, in preference to the holders of, and before any payment or distribution is made on, any Junior Stock in respect of payment on liquidation, winding-up or dissolution.

(b) Neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all of the assets of the Corporation substantially as an entirety (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding up or dissolution of its business), nor the merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Corporation into or with any other Person shall be deemed to be a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 5.

(c) After the payment in full to the Holders of the amounts provided for in this Section 5, such Holders as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation in respect of their ownership of such Redeemable Preferred Stock.

(d) In the event the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the Holders upon any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such Holders are entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 5(a), no such distribution shall be made on account of any shares of Parity Stock (which issuance of Parity Stock must be approved in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(b)(ii), as applicable) upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up unless proportionate distributable amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock, equally and ratably, in proportion to the full distributable amounts for which Holders of all Redeemable Preferred Stock and the holders of any Parity Stock are entitled upon such liquidation, winding-up or dissolution.

SECTION 6. Corporation Optional Redemption.

(a) At any time and from time to time, the Corporation shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to redeem, out of funds legally available for such purposes, the Redeemable Preferred Stock for cash, in whole or in part, at a redemption price per share equal to the Liquidation Preference of each such share of Redeemable Preferred Stock plus all Accrued Dividends on such share of Redeemable Preferred Stock (such amount, as of the applicable Corporation Redemption Date or Holder Redemption Date, as applicable, the “ Redemption Consideration ”).

(b) The Corporation shall mail notice of its election to redeem the Redeemable Preferred Stock (such notice, the “ Corporation Redemption Notice ”) pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days before the applicable Corporation Redemption Date, to the Holders as their names appear (as of the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) on the books of the Corporation at the respective addresses of the Holders shown therein. Any notice of redemption by the Corporation provided to a Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 shall state: (i) the date on which such redemption shall occur (the “ Corporation Redemption Date ”), (ii) the number of shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such Holder, (iii) the applicable Redemption Consideration and (iv) whether or not such notice is conditioned and if so, the conditions to such redemption. Any notice of redemption may be subject to one or more conditions as determined by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, and as specified therein; provided that any Corporation Redemption Notice shall automatically expire on the Corporation Redemption Date if the conditions set forth therein are not satisfied as of such date.

(c) If the Corporation elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6, the number of shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be determined by the Corporation in a manner consistent with the applicable provisions of the Articles of Incorporation. The shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding.

(d) If the Corporation gives a Corporation Redemption Notice as to which all conditions have been satisfied, the Corporation shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock as to which such Corporation Redemption Notice shall have been given, no later than the opening of business on the Corporation Redemption Date, and the Corporation shall, at the time of such deposit, give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the applicable Redemption Consideration to the Holders to be redeemed as set forth in the Corporation Redemption Notice. If the Corporation Redemption Notice shall have been given, then from and after the Corporation Redemption Date, unless the Corporation defaults in providing funds sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the Company Redemption Notice to all Holders who submit their shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock for redemption, (i) all dividends on such shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall cease to accrue, (ii) shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be deemed to no longer be outstanding and (iii) all rights with respect to such shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock to be redeemed, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of Holders thereof to receive the Redemption Consideration.

(e) Notwithstanding any Corporation Redemption Notice, there shall be no redemption of any shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock called for redemption until funds sufficient to pay the full amount of the applicable Redemption Consideration with respect to each such share shall have been deposited by the Corporation with the Paying Agent. The Corporation shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited (to the extent that such interest income is not required to pay the Redemption Consideration for the shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock to be redeemed), and the Holders of any shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock so redeemed shall have no claim to any such interest income. Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Corporation for any reason, including redemption of shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock, that remain unclaimed or unpaid more than two years after the applicable Corporation Redemption Date or other payment date, shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, repaid to the Corporation upon its written request, after which repayment the Holders entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to the Corporation.

SECTION 7. Holder Optional Redemption

(a) At any time after the seventh anniversary of the Issue Date, each Holder shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to cause the Corporation to redeem, out of funds legally available for such purposes, all but not less than all of such Holder’s then-outstanding shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock for cash (the “ Holder Redemption Right ”), for a price per share of Redeemable Preferred Stock equal to the Redemption Consideration with respect thereto, which amount shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(c) below.

(b) A Holder may only exercise the Holder Redemption Right by delivering a fully executed notice of redemption (the “ Holder Redemption Notice ”) to the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation at its principal office by certified mail, postage prepaid at least 30 days before the date fixed for redemption in the Holder Redemption Notice (such date, the “ Holder Redemption Date ”). Such Holder Redemption Notice must set forth the Holder Redemption Date as of which such Holder desires to exercise the Holder Redemption Right.

(c) If required to redeem the Redeemable Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7, the Corporation shall deposit with the Paying Agent the Redemption Consideration in cash sufficient to redeem the shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock as to which such Holder Redemption Notice shall have been given, no later than the opening of business on the Holder Redemption Date, and the Corporation shall, at the time of such deposit, give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to deliver the applicable Redemption Consideration to each such Holder. If, after the Corporation receives a Holder Redemption Notice, the Corporation deposits with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock as to which such Holder Redemption Notice shall have been given, then from and after the Holder Redemption Date, (i) all dividends on such Redeemable Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue, (ii) such shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be deemed to no longer be outstanding and (iii) all rights with respect to such shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock to be redeemed, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will cease and terminate, except only the rights of such Holder thereof to receive the Redemption Consideration. Notwithstanding any Holder Redemption Notice, there shall be no redemption of any shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock called for redemption in such notice until funds sufficient to pay the full Redemption Consideration of such shares shall have been deposited by the Corporation with the Paying Agent. The Corporation shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited (to the extent that such interest income is not required to pay the Redemption Consideration), and such Holder shall have no claim to any such interest income. Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Corporation for any reason, including redemption of shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock, that remain unclaimed or unpaid more than two years after the applicable Holder Redemption Date or other payment date, shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, repaid to the Corporation upon its written request, after which repayment the Holder(s) entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to the Corporation.

SECTION 8. Change of Control.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8, (i) if the Corporation and the Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock agree, in their respective sole discretion, in writing (which may include a vote or other consent of the Holders representing a majority of the then-outstanding Redeemable Preferred Stock that is a condition to the Change of Control), prior to the consummation of a Change of Control to a treatment of the Redeemable Preferred Stock in connection with such Change of Control other than as a result required or permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, the terms of such agreement shall govern the treatment of all shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock with respect to such Change of Control, (ii) the redemptions required by the provisions of this Section 8 shall be made only out of funds legally available for such purposes and (iii) nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the ability of the Corporation at any time to redeem the Redeemable Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 in lieu of compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.

(b) In the event of an actual or anticipated Change of Control at any time when shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock are outstanding and the Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock shall not have otherwise agreed in writing to the treatment of the Redeemable Preferred Stock in connection with such Change of Control pursuant to the provisions of Section 8(a), the Corporation shall give notice of the Change of Control (the “ Change of Control Notice ”) to the Holders no later than 20 Business Days prior to the date on which the Corporation anticipates that a Change of Control will be consummated (or, if later, promptly after the Corporation discovers that a Change of Control may or has occurred). Such Change of Control Notice shall include a summary of the material terms of the Change of Control transaction, including the transaction consideration.

(c) Within 10 Business Days after the Holders’ receipt of a Change of Control Notice (or such later date established by the Corporation in the Change of Control Notice, if applicable), each Holder may, with respect to all but not less than all of its shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock, elect, by written notice to the Corporation, one of the following (such election, a “ Holder Change of Control Election ”):

(i) to cause the Corporation to redeem all, but not less than all, of such Holder’s shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock for consideration (which amounts may be provided on behalf of the Corporation by an acquirer in connection with such Change of Control) or otherwise provide for such Holder to receive consideration in such Change of Control in exchange for such Holder’s shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock (including receipt of such amounts as merger consideration) in each case in an amount per share of Redeemable Preferred Stock equal to the Redemption Consideration, which shall be payable as follows: (A) if the Company has, at the time of the Change of Control, any bonds that are outstanding under the Indenture, (1) 101% of the Share Purchase Price of each share of Redeemable Preferred Stock to be paid in cash (or such lower amount in cash as may be required under the Indenture as in effect on the Issue Date without any amendments, modification or supplements thereto in order for the Redeemable Preferred Stock not to be regarded thereunder as “Disqualified Equity Interests”) (such amount in cash, the “ Permitted Cash Amount ”) and (2) the issuance by the Company to such Holder of a number of shares of Common Stock with a value (valuing such shares at 96% of the volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the ten-day trading period ending on the last trading day preceding the day of announcement of such Change of Control) equal to the Liquidation Preference on each such share of Redeemable Preferred Stock plus all Accrued Dividends thereon minus the Permitted Cash Amount and (B) if the Company does not have, at the time of the Change of Control, any bonds that are outstanding under the Indenture, the Liquidation Preference for each such share of Redeemable Preferred Stock plus all Accrued Dividends thereon in cash; provided, however, that any such redemption shall be subject to the applicable Change of Control features of the Company’s indebtedness documents; provided, further , that this election shall not be available if it would result in the Redeemable Preferred Stock being deemed “disqualified stock” under the Current Credit Agreement; provided , further , notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued in connection with this Section 8, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Warrant Agreement contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, shall not

exceed the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue without stockholder approval under the stockholder approval rules of the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed, including New York Stock Exchange Listing Rule 312.03, unless and until the requisite stockholder approval has been obtained, which restriction shall continue notwithstanding any failure of the Common Stock to continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed ( provided , that if a Cash Election is made and any such stockholder approval is required, the Company will take all actions reasonably necessary to obtain such stockholder approval as soon as practicable, including using commercially reasonable efforts to (x) solicit votes or proxies in favor of such issuance, (y) file with the SEC proxy materials (including a Preliminary Proxy Statement and Definitive Proxy Statement) meeting the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and that are reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the Redeemable Preferred Stock in respect of which a Cash Election has been made pursuant to this Section 8(c)(i) and (z) subject to applicable Law and fiduciary or other duties, recommend to the stockholders that they approve such issuance) (the “ Cash Election ”);

(ii) to receive a Substantially Equivalent Security, in the event the Corporation will not be the surviving entity of such Change of Control transaction (a “ Substantially Equivalent Security Election ”); or

(iii) to continue to hold the Redeemable Preferred Stock, in the event the Corporation will be the surviving entity of such Change of Control transaction (a “ Corporation Securities Election ”).

If a Substantially Equivalent Security Election is available, the Corporation will, concurrently with providing the Change of Control Notice, provide the Holders with substantially final documents governing the Substantially Equivalent Security to be issued in connection with such Substantially Equivalent Security Election.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Holder fails to deliver to the Corporation a written Holder Change of Control Election within 10 Business Days following receipt of a Change of Control Notice, such Holder shall be deemed to have elected the Cash Election; unless such Cash Election is not available pursuant to the terms of 8(c)(i), in which case such Holder shall be deemed to have elected the Substantially Equivalent Securities Election in the event the Corporation will not be the surviving entity of such Change of Control transaction or the Corporation Securities Election in the event the Corporation will be the surviving entity of such Change of Control transaction, as applicable.

(d) If any Holder has made a Substantially Equivalent Security Election in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(c)(ii), any conversion or exchange of any such Holder’s Redeemable Preferred Stock into the Substantially Equivalent Security shall occur upon consummation of the Change of Control. If the Corporation is required to redeem the Redeemable Preferred Stock of any Holder for cash in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(c)(i), such redemption shall occur on the later of (i) the date of the consummation of such Change of Control, (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of the applicable timely Holder Change of Control

Election, or (iii) such other date as the Corporation and the Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock that have made a valid Cash Election may agree or consent (the “ Change of Control Redemption Date ”); provided that, if such redemption would cause the Redeemable Preferred Stock to be characterized as “disqualified stock,” “disqualified equity interests,” “disqualified capital stock” or any similar concept pursuant to the terms of the Corporation Indebtedness Documents, the Change of Control Redemption Date will, in each case, solely to the extent required to prevent such characterization, be tolled until the applicable loans and other debt obligations under any such Corporation Indebtedness Documents are, to the extent required, repaid (and, if applicable, any commitments are terminated and any obligations to offer to redeem, repay or repurchase such loans or other debt obligations as a result of the Change of Control have expired) prior to such redemption of the Redeemable Preferred Stock, and the Corporation will comply with any “change of control offer” or similar requirements under the terms of any such Corporation Indebtedness Documents, if applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by any Holder of its right to receive from the Corporation and/or its successor the cash payment required in connection with a Cash Election related to such Change of Control and redemption, if applicable.

(e) If the Corporation is required to redeem the Redeemable Preferred Stock of any Holder in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(c)(i), the Corporation shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem such shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock as to which such Change of Control Notice shall have been given, no later than the opening of business on the Change of Control Redemption Date, and the Corporation shall, at the time of such deposit, give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the applicable Redemption Consideration for each such share of Redeemable Preferred Stock to be redeemed as set forth in the Change of Control Notice to the Holder thereof. If a Change of Control Notice shall have been given, then from and after the Change of Control Redemption Date, unless the Corporation defaults in providing cash sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Notice, (i) all dividends on such shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall cease to accrue, (ii) shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be deemed to no longer be outstanding and (iii) all rights with respect to the shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock to be redeemed, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of Holders thereof to receive the Redemption Consideration for each such share of Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited with the Paying Agent (to the extent that such interest income is not required to pay the Redemption Consideration for each of the shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock to be redeemed), and the Holders of any shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock so redeemed shall have no claim to any such interest income. Notwithstanding any Change of Control Notice, there shall be no redemption of any shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock called for redemption until funds sufficient to pay the full Redemption Consideration for each such share subject to a Cash Election shall have been deposited by the Corporation with the Paying Agent. Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Corporation for any reason, including redemption of shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock, that remain unclaimed or unpaid more than two years after the Change of Control Redemption Date, shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, repaid to the Corporation upon its written request, after which repayment the Holders entitled to such redemption shall have recourse only to the Corporation.

SECTION 9. Uncertificated Shares

(a) Form . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be in uncertificated, book-entry form as permitted by the Corporation Law of Panama. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall, or shall cause the Transfer Agent to, send to the registered owner thereof an Ownership Notice.

(b) Transfer . Transfers of Redeemable Preferred Stock held in uncertificated, book-entry form shall be made only upon the transfer books of the Corporation kept at an office of the Transfer Agent upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of such uncertificated shares, or from a duly authorized attorney or from an individual presenting proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer the stock. The Corporation may refuse any requested transfer until furnished evidence satisfactory to it that such transfer is proper.

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS OWNERSHIP NOTICE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.

THE PREFERRED SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN, AND WILL NOT BE, REGISTERED WITH THE SUPERINTENDENCY OF CAPITAL MARKETS OF PANAMA. ACCORDINGLY, (I) THE PREFERRED SHARES CANNOT BE PUBLICLY OFFERED OR SOLD IN PANAMA, EXCEPT IN TRANSACTIONS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE PANAMANIAN SECURITIES LAWS, (II) THE SUPERINTENDENCY OF THE CAPITAL MARKETS HAS NOT REVIEWED THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN, (III) THE PREFERRED SHARES AND ITS OFFER ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE SUPERVISION OF THE PANAMANIAN SUPERINTENDENCY OF CAPITAL MARKETS, AND (IV) THE PREFERRED SHARES DO NOT BENEFIT FROM THE TAX INCENTIVES PROVIDED BY THE PANAMANIAN SECURITIES LAWS AND REGULATIONS.”

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS OWNERSHIP NOTICE ARE SUBJECT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION, WHICH ESTABLISHES THE POWERS, PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE, PARTICIPATING, OPTIONAL OR OTHER RIGHTS OF THE 12% REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK OF THE CORPORATION.”

(d) Certain Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Redeemable Preferred Stock .

(i) All shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of such shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be the valid obligations of the Corporation, entitled to the same benefits under this Certificate of Designation as the shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(ii) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent and the Corporation may deem and treat the Person in whose name such shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock are registered as the absolute owner of such Redeemable Preferred Stock and neither the Transfer Agent nor the Corporation shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(iii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of any Redeemable Preferred Stock on the transfer books of the Corporation or the Transfer Agent. However, the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Redeemable Preferred Stock in a name other than the name in which the shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock were registered, and the Corporation may withhold any issuance or delivery of Redeemable Preferred Stock unless and until the Person requesting such issuance or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid or is not required to be paid.

(e) No Obligation of the Transfer Agent . The Transfer Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Certificate of Designation or under applicable Law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Redeemable Preferred Stock other than to require documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Certificate of Designation, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

SECTION 10. Other Provisions.

(a) The shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock shall not be subject to the operation of any retirement or sinking fund. Except as provided herein, the shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of stock of any other class or classes, or of any other series of the same class.

(c) With respect to any notice to a Holder required to be provided hereunder, neither failure to send such notice, nor any defect therein or in the sending thereof, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings referred to in such notice with respect to the other Holders or affect the legality or validity of any vote upon any such action (assuming due and proper notice to such other Holders). Any notice which was sent in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder actually receives the notice.

(d) The shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be issuable only in whole shares.

(e) Any payments required to be made hereunder on any day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without interest or additional payment for such delay.

(f) The shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock shall have no preemptive or subscription rights, except those that may be expressly provided by contract.

(g) Without limiting the rights or claims of the Holders hereunder, the Corporation’s ability to redeem shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock or pay dividends on the Redeemable Preferred Stock is subject to applicable Law limiting the Corporation’s ability to make such redemptions or pay such dividends if (i) after giving effect to the redemption or dividend, the Corporation would be insolvent, (ii) the net assets of the Corporation would be less than the amount of the proposed redemption or dividend and (iii) funds are otherwise not legally available therefor under the Corporation Law of Panama.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any of the above financial statements are filed or furnished by the Corporation with the SEC in any annual, quarterly or other report, such financial statements shall be deemed furnished by the Corporation to the Holders for purposes of this Section 10(h).

(i) In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Certificate of Designation shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Certificate of Designation a provision as similar in terms to such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable, unless the requisite parties separately agree to a replacement provision that is valid, legal and enforceable.

(c) In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit (or any amendment thereto), the Applicants shall give the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent, at least three Business Days’ (unless the relevant Issuer otherwise agrees) prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit E (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to such Issuer), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “ Letter of Credit Request ”); provided , that no Letter of Credit shall be required to be Issued sooner than three Business Days following the date on which the form of such Letter of Credit has been agreed by the Issuer, the relevant Applicant, and, if such Letter of Credit is to be Issued by a correspondent bank of such Issuer, the correspondent bank.

-54-

date, Issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Applicants in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

The relevant Issuer shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.5(a) and Section 3.3 have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit.

(e) If requested by the relevant Issuer, prior to the first Issuance of a Letter of Credit by such Issuer, and as a condition of such Issuance and of the participation of each Participant in the Letter of Credit Obligations arising with respect thereto, the Applicants and Parent shall have delivered to such Issuer a letter of credit reimbursement agreement, in such form as such Issuer may employ in its ordinary course of business for its own account (a “ Reimbursement Agreement ”), signed by the Applicants and the Parent, and such other documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof.

(London time) on any Business Day, then no later than 10:00 A.M. (London time) on the next succeeding Business Day) that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Applicant may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. If any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and an Applicant shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (i) or any such payment in respect thereof is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be immediately due and payable with interest thereon at the rate specified in Section 2.13(d) , and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Participant’s Ratable Portion in Dollars (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof if such payment was made in an Alternative Currency) and in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Participant prior to 11:00 a.m. (London time) on any Business Day, such Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds promptly, but in no event later than three Business Days from such notice. Whenever any Issuer receives from an Applicant a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Participant pursuant to this clause (i) , such Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Participant in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Participants have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.

(j) Each Applicant’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Participants (except as otherwise set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.7(b) ) to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit 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, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Credit Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Credit Document;

-56-

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Parent, any Applicant, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Parent, any Applicant, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Participant or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the relevant Issuer 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

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuers, the Participants, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.7 , constitute a legal or equitable discharge of an Applicant’s obligations hereunder.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to an Applicant or any Participant. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the relevant Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, such Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever. Any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in any case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this clause (j) shall be deemed to release any Issuer from liability with respect to its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(k) If and to the extent any Participant shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (i) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer, such Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any amount so unpaid together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter until such amount is repaid to the Administrative

-57-

Agent for the account of such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The failure of any Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer its Ratable Portion of any such payment shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuer such other Participant’s Ratable Portion of any such payment.

If the proposed substitute financial institution or other entity meets the conditions set forth in clauses (x) and (y) above and the written notice was properly issued under this Section 2.20 , the Affected Participant shall sell and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall purchase, at par plus accrued interest and Participation Fees, all rights and claims of such Affected Participant under the Credit Documents and such substitute financial institution or other entity shall assume, and the Affected Participant shall be relieved of, its Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Participant under the Credit Documents (other than in respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations). Such Affected Participant, upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption (that, in any event shall be conditioned upon the payment in full by the Applicants in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date to such Affected Participant), the substitute financial institution or other entity shall become a “Participant” hereunder in respect of the LC Facility for all purposes of this Agreement (x) having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Participant’s Commitment assumed by it (if any) and such Commitment of the Affected Participant shall be terminated and (y) holding the amount of Reimbursement Obligations held by the Affected Participant; provided , however , that all indemnities under the Credit Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Participant. Such Affected Participant shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such transfer; provided , however , that the failure of the Affected Participant to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance shall not invalidate such assignment, and such Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to be executed and delivered upon receipt by such Affected Participant of such payment in full.

Section 2.21 Mitigation

If any Participant requests compensation under Section 2.17(c) , or requires the Applicants to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Participant, the Administrative Agent or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Participant pursuant to Section 2.19 , then such Participant shall (at the request of the Applicants) use reasonable

-71-

efforts to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Participant, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17(c) or 2.19 , as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Participant to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Participant. The Applicants hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Participant in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 2.22 Cash Collateral

(a) Certain Credit Support Events . At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Participant, promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) after the request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuer, the Applicants shall deliver to the Collateral Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv) and any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Participant).

(b) Grant of Security Interest . All cash collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at the Collateral Agent (including, in the case of cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 9.3 , the Cash Collateral Account). To the extent provided by the Applicants, the Applicants, and to the extent provided by any Participant, such Participant, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Issuers and the Participants, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, and to maintain such security interest as a first-priority security interest, all as security for the obligations to which such cash collateral may be applied pursuant to clause (c) below. If at any time the Collateral Agent determines that cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Applicants or the relevant Defaulting Participant will, promptly (but in any event within 5 Business Days) after demand by the Collateral Agent, pay or provide to the Collateral Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Application . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under this Section 2.22 or Section 2.5 , Section 2.7 , Section 2.12 , Section 2.16 , Section 2.23 , or Section 9.3 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Participant, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which such cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release . Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations

-72-

giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Participant status of the Participant (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 11.2(b)(iv) ) or (ii) the Collateral Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral; provided , however , that (x) cash collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Credit Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.22 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 2.16(e) and (f) ), and (y) the Person providing cash collateral and the relevant Issuer may agree that cash collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

Section 2.23 Defaulting Participants

(a) Adjustments . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Participant becomes a Defaulting Participant, then, until such time as that Participant is no longer a Defaulting Participant, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments . Each Participant hereby agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Participant shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and each Participant hereby agrees that any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Participants or each affected Participant may be effected with the consent of the Participants other than Defaulting Participants), except as provided in the last sentence of Section 11.1(a) .

(ii) Reallocation of Payments . Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Participant (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.12 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Defaulting Participant pursuant to Section 11.6 ), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

first , to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Participant to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

second , to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Participant to an Issuer hereunder;

third , if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an Issuer, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Participant of any participation in any Letter of Credit;

fourth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the other Participants or Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Participant or any Issuer against that Defaulting Participant as a result of that Defaulting Participant’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

-73-

fifth , so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Applicants as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Applicants against that Defaulting Participant as a result of that Defaulting Participant’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

sixth , to that Defaulting Participant 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 Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which that Defaulting Participant has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Reimbursement Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Reimbursement Obligations owed to all Non-Defaulting Participants on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Reimbursement Obligations owed to that Defaulting Participant.

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Participant that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Participant or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.23(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Participant, and each Participant irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees . (x) No Defaulting Participant shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Participant is a Defaulting Participant (and the Applicants shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Participant) and (y) each Defaulting Participant shall be limited in its right to receive Participation Fees as provided in Section 2.15(c)(ii) .

(iv) Reallocation of Ratable Portions to Reduce Fronting Exposure . During any period in which there is a Defaulting Participant, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Non-Defaulting Participant to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.7 , the “Ratable Portion” of each Non-Defaulting Participant shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Participant; provided that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the Participant becomes a Defaulting Participant, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of a Non-Defaulting Participant to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitments of that Non-Defaulting Participant minus (2) the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations of that Participant.

-74-

(b) Defaulting Participant Cure . If the Applicants, the Administrative Agent and the Issuers agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Participant should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Participant, the Administrative Agent will so notify the Applicants, the Participants and the Issuers, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Participant will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations of the other Participants and take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Letter of Credit Obligations and participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Participants in accordance with their Ratable Portions (without giving effect to clause (a)(iv) above), whereupon that Participant will cease to be a Defaulting Participant; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Applicants while that Participant was a Defaulting Participant; and provided , further , that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Participant to Non-Defaulting Participant and no assignment by a Defaulting Participant will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Participant’s having been a Defaulting Participant.

(c) Replacement of Defaulting Participants . If any Participant is a Defaulting Participant, then the Applicants may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Participant and the Administrative Agent, require such Participant to be replaced in accordance with Section 2.20 .

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Applicants, the Administrative Agent, Participants and Issuers, shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Participant, as applicable, hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Applicants, the Issuers and any Participant at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Facility Participations . Any Participant may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Applicants or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a Disqualified Institution, a natural person, a Defaulting Participant, the Parent, any Applicant, or any of the Parent’s other Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “ Sub-Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Participant’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it); provided that (i) such Participant’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Participant shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Applicants, the Administrative Agent, the Participants, the Issuers shall continue

The entries in the Sub-Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Participant shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Sub-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 not have any responsibility for maintaining a Sub-Participant Register.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Participant sells such a participation shall provide that such Participant 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 Participant will not, without the consent of the Sub-Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver which would (x) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such Sub-Participant under the Credit Documents, to which such Sub-Participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation, (y) increase the commitment applicable to such Sub-Participant or (z) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral or the release of all or substantially all of the Guarantees. Subject to clause (e) below, each Applicant jointly and severally agrees that each Sub-Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Participant and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) above.

A Sub-Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.17(c) , 2.18 and 2.19 than the applicable Participant would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Sub-Participant unless the sale of the participation to such Sub-Participant is made with the Applicants’ prior written consent, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in applicable Requirement of Law that occurs after the Sub-Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Sub-Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.19 as if it were a Participant which received its interest pursuant to an assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, but only if each Applicant is notified of the participation sold to such Sub-Participant and such Sub-Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Applicants, to comply with Sections 2.19 , 2.20 and 2.21 as though it were a Participant.

-146-

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

(g) [Reserved].

(h) Any Issuer may, with, unless an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) , (b) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, the prior written consent of the Applicants (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Participant that is not a Defaulting Participant by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Applicants, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Participant. If any Issuer ceases to be a Participant hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2(h) , then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.5 , as applicable, shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date.

(a) The Parent and the Applicants jointly and severally agree to and hereby do indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, Arrangers, Bookrunners, Syndication Agents, Issuers and Participants (together with their respective Affiliates (and controlling persons) and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, members (and successors and assigns) of each of the foregoing, each such Person being an “ Indemnitee ”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses of any kind or nature (including reasonable, documented and customary fees, disbursements and expenses of financial and legal advisors to any such Indemnitee, provided that legal advisors shall be limited to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and expenses of (x) one firm of counsel for all Agents, Participants and Issuers, (y) one firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and (z) in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the person affected by such conflict retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected person in each relevant jurisdiction) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Applicants or any of its Affiliates, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Obligation, any Letter of Credit, the Business Combination or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the Letters of Credit or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “ Indemnified Matters ”); provided , however , that the Applicants shall not have any obligation under this Section 11.4 to an Indemnitee with respect to (i) any Indemnified Matter caused by or resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order or order of an arbitral tribunal, (ii) a material breach of the Credit Documents by such Indemnitee, as determined

-149-

by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order or order of an arbitral tribunal and (iii) any action brought by one Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (except in its capacity as an Agent) which does not involve an act or omission by the Parent or any of its Affiliates or (iv) any settlement entered into by such Indemnitee without the Parent’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the foregoing indemnity will apply to any such settlement in the event that the Parent was offered the ability to assume the defense of the action that was the subject matter of such settlement and elected not to so assume; provided , further , that if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 11.4 . Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the express limitations of the foregoing, “ Indemnified Matters ” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of the Parent, the Applicants, or any of their respective Subsidiaries involving any property subject to a Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning the Parent, the Applicants, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien and (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, (49 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq .) and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i) , (ii) , (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure (or deed in lieu thereof) by the Administrative Agent, any Participant or any Issuer, or the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Participant or any Issuer having become the successor in interest to the Parent, the Applicants, or any of their respective Subsidiaries and (y) attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent, such Participant or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent, such Participant or such Issuer. This Section 11.4(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) The Parent and each Applicant shall and does hereby jointly and severally indemnify each Agent, each Participant and each Issuer for, and hold each Agent, each Participant and each Issuer harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against any Agent, any Participant and any Issuer for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

-150-

(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of service of any complaint or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to an Indemnified Matter, such Indemnitee will notify the Parent in writing of such complaint or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Parent will relieve the Parent or the Applicants from the obligation to indemnify such Indemnitee only if and only to the extent that such failure results in the forfeiture by the Parent or the Applicants of substantial rights and defenses that actually and materially prejudice the Parent or the Applicants, and will not in any event relieve the Parent or the Applicants from any other obligation or liability that the Parent or the Applicants may have to any Indemnitee otherwise than in accordance with the provisions hereof. If the Parent or any Applicant so elects following its acknowledgment of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee, or if requested by such Indemnitee, the Parent or such Applicant will assume the defense of such action or proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. In the event, however, such Indemnitee reasonably determines in its judgment that having common counsel would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or if the defendants in or targets of any such action or proceeding include an Indemnitee and the Parent or the Applicants and such Indemnitee reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnitees that are different from or in addition to those available to the Parent or the Applicants, or if the Parent or the Applicants fail to assume the defense of the action or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in a timely manner, then such Indemnitee may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the Parent and the Applicants will pay the reasonable and customary fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided , however , that the Parent and the Applicants will not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) for such Indemnitee in any jurisdiction in any single action or proceeding. In any action or proceeding the defense of which the Parent or the Applicants assume, the Indemnitee will have the right to participate in such litigation and to retain its own counsel at such Indemnitee’s own expense.

(d) The Parent and the Applicants jointly and severally agree that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 11.4 ) or any other Credit Document shall (i) survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

Section 11.5 Limitation of Liability

The Parent and the Applicants jointly and severally agree that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Credit Documents, except for direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings)) determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court

-151-

of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Parent and each Applicant hereby waives, releases and agrees (for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 11.6 Right of Set-off

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Participant and each Affiliate of any of them 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) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Participant or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Parent or any Applicant against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Participant shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Participant agrees promptly to notify the Parent or such Applicant after any such set-off and application made by such Participant or its respective Affiliates; provided , however , that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. In the event that any Defaulting Participant shall exercise any 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 2.23 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Participant from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Participants, and (y) the Defaulting Participant shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Participant as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Participant under this Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Participant may have.

Section 11.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(B)

-152-

forthwith purchase from the other Participants (each, a “ Selling Participant ”) such participations in their Letter of Credit Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing LC Participant to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

(D)

[reserved].

(E)

Except as expressly provided otherwise with respect to Defaulting Participants, each payment of the Commitment Fees and each reduction of the Commitments shall be allocated pro rata among the Participants in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective LC Facility Exposure).

(b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing LC Participant is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing LC Participant, such purchase from each applicable Selling Participant shall be rescinded and such Selling Participant shall repay to the Purchasing LC Participant the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Participant’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Participant’s required repayment in relation to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing LC Participant) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Purchasing LC Participant in respect of the total amount so recovered.

(c) Each Applicant jointly and severally agrees that any Purchasing LC Participant so purchasing a participation from a Selling Participant pursuant to this Section 11.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Purchasing LC Participant were the direct creditor of such Applicant in the amount of such participation.

The Administrative Agent, each Participant and each Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include MNPI concerning the Parent or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be and (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of such MNPI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and each Participant may disclose the existence of the LC Facility and information about the LC Facility to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service provides to each of the foregoing in connection with the LC Facility and the other Credit Documents.

Section 11.19 Judgment Currency

(a) If, for the purposes of obtaining or enforcing any judgment or award in any court, or for making or filing a claim or proof, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “ Original Currency ”) into another currency (the “ Other Currency ”), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency in New York, New York on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which any such judgment, or any relevant part thereof, is given.

(b) The obligations of the Parent or any Applicant in respect of any sum due from it to any Agent or Participant hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or award in such Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Agent or Participant of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Agent or Participant may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency; if the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due such Agent or Participant in the Original Currency, the Applicants jointly and severally agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Agent or Participant against such loss, and if the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Agent or Participant in the Original Currency, such Agent or Participant shall remit such excess to the Applicants.

Section 11.20 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall

-159-

not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.20 , if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Participants shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or any Issuer, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 11.21 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit 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 Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, 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 undertaking, 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 Credit 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.

Section 11.22 Interest Rate Limitation

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Requirements of Law (the “ Maximum Rate ”). If the Administrative Agent or any Participant shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to cash collateralize the Reimbursement Obligations, or if no such Reimbursement Obligations are outstanding, refunded to the Applicants. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Participant exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, in its sole discretion, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

(c) the maturity of any of the Other Applicant Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Other Applicant Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Other Applicant Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

(d) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Participant or Participants as security for any of the Other Applicant Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents or the other documentation governing the Obligations (such other documentation, the “ Other Documents ”), the obligations of the Parent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

The Parent agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against either the Applicants or any other Credit Party for amounts paid under this Section 12.2 until the Final Satisfaction Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Parent hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Parent, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) [Reserved];

-162-

(e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of the Parent) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of the Parent).

With respect to its obligations hereunder, the Parent hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Credit Documents, the Other Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

Section 12.3 Reinstatement

The obligations of the Parent under this Article XII shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Parent agrees that it will indemnify in accordance with Section 11.4 each Indemnitee on demand for all documented and reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the documented and reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 12.4 Certain Additional Waivers

The Parent further agrees that it shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations until the Final Satisfaction Date.

Section 12.5 Remedies

The Parent agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Parent, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, the commitments hereunder may be terminated and the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.2 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.2 ) for purposes of this Article XII notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the commitments hereunder from being terminated and the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such commitments being deemed to have been terminated and the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Parent for purposes of Section 12.1 .
