Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

In accordance with the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, McDermott International, Inc. (“McDermott,” “we” or “us”) cautions that statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are forward-looking, and provide other than historical information, involve risks, contingencies and uncertainties that may impact McDermott’s actual results of operations. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements about near-term liquidity challenges, credit availability, satisfaction of conditions, long-term value creation opportunities, timing and anticipated proceeds from sales of businesses, expected timetables and expected profitability of projects discussed herein, expected liquidity and expected debt maturities. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that those expectations will prove to have been correct. Those statements are made by using various underlying assumptions and are subject to numerous risks, contingencies and uncertainties, including, among others: risks attendant to ongoing negotiations with various third parties; adverse changes in the markets in which we operate or credit or capital markets; our inability to execute on contracts in backlog successfully; changes in project design or schedule; the availability of qualified personnel; changes in the terms, scope or timing of contracts; contract cancellations; change orders and other modifications and actions by customers and other business counterparties; changes in industry norms; negotiations with third parties with respect to the potential sale of the Lummus Technology division; and adverse outcomes in legal or other dispute resolution proceedings. If one or more of these risks materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those expected. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. For a more complete discussion of these and other risk factors, please see McDermott’s filings with the SEC, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Except to the extent required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement.

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendments to Credit Agreements

On October 21, 2019, McDermott, as a guarantor, McDermott Technology (Americas), Inc. (“MTA”), McDermott Technology (US), Inc. (“MTUS”) and McDermott Technology, B.V. (“MTBV”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of McDermott, as co-borrowers, and various other subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), entered into Consent and Amendment No. 1 (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated May 10, 2018 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among MTA, MTUS and MTBV, as co-borrowers, McDermott, as a guarantor, the Guarantors, a syndicate of lenders and letter of credit issuers, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent for the term facility under the Credit Agreement, and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, as administrative agent for the other facilities under the Credit Agreement. Also, on October 21, 2019, McDermott, as a guarantor, and MTA, MTUS and MTBV, as co-applicants, and the Guarantors, entered into that certain Consent and Amendment No. 1 (the “LC Agreement Amendment”) to the Letter of Credit Agreement dated October 30, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Letter of Credit Agreement”), by and among McDermott, as guarantor, MTA, MTUS and MTBV, as co-applicants, and the Guarantors.

The Credit Agreement Amendment, among other things, amends the compliance levels for McDermott’s leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum liquidity covenant for each fiscal quarter through December 31, 2021. The Credit Agreement Amendment also modifies certain affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default to, among other things, make changes to allow for the incurrence of indebtedness and pledge of assets under the Superpriority Credit Agreement (as defined below). The Credit Agreement Amendment also modifies the participation fee we are charged to 5% for newly issued letters of credit or with respect to the increased amount of existing letters of credit.

Like the Credit Agreement Amendment, the LC Agreement Amendment amends, among other things, the compliance levels for McDermott’s leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum liquidity covenant for each fiscal quarter though December 31, 2021. The LC Agreement Amendment also modifies (i) the event of default provisions and (ii) covenant provisions in the same manner as provided in the Credit Agreement Amendment. The LC Agreement Amendment also modifies the participation fee we are charged to 5% for newly issued letters of credit or with respect to the increased amount of existing letters of credit.

The foregoing descriptions of the Credit Agreement Amendment and the LC Agreement Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement Amendment and the LC Agreement Amendment, copies of which are filed hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this report and are incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

New Superpriority Credit Agreement

On October 21, 2019, McDermott, as a guarantor, entered into a new superpriority senior secured credit agreement (the “Superpriority Credit Agreement”) with MTA, MTUS and MTBV, as co-borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), a syndicate of lenders and letter of credit issuers, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent for the New Term Facility (as defined below), and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, as administrative agent for the New LC Facility (as defined below).

Proceeds of the loans under the New Term Facility are to be used for general corporate purposes and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Superpriority Credit Agreement and related transactions.

The Superpriority Credit Agreement provides for borrowings and letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount of $1.7 billion, consisting of (1) a $1.3 billion term loan facility (the “New Term Facility”) and (2) a $400 million letter of credit facility (the “New LC Facility”).

Upon the closing of the Superpriority Credit Agreement, we were provided access to $650 million of capital, comprised of $550 million under the New Term Facility, before reduction for related fees and expenses, and $100 million under the New LC Facility. Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Superpriority Credit Agreement, including, certain conditions that require approval of the lenders (in their discretion), a second tranche of $350 million of capital (comprised of $250 million under the New Term Facility and $100 million under the New LC Facility) (“Tranche B”) will be made available to the Borrowers between November 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, a third tranche of $150 million under the New Term Facility (“Tranche C”) will be made available to the Borrowers between December 30, 2019 and March 31, 2020 and a fourth tranche of $550 million of capital (comprised of $350 million under the New Term Facility and $200 under the New LC Facility) (“Tranche D”) will be made available to the Borrowers between January 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020. The New Term Facility and the New LC Facility are scheduled to mature on October 21, 2021.

The indebtedness and other obligations under the Superpriority Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by McDermott and substantially all of its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Superpriority Guarantors”), other than several captive insurance subsidiaries and certain other designated or immaterial subsidiaries. The indebtedness and other obligations under the Superpriority Credit Agreement are secured by super-priority liens on substantially all of the Borrowers’, McDermott’s and the other Superpriority Guarantors’ assets.

The New Term Facility and the New LC Facility will bear interest at the Borrowers’ option at either (1) the Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 10.00% per year or 10.00%, respectively, or (2) the base rate plus a margin of 9.00% per year in each case. The Borrowers are charged a commitment fee of 1.50% per year on the daily amount of the unused portions of the commitments under the New LC Facility. Additionally, with respect to all letters of credit outstanding under the New LC Facility, the Borrowers are charged a fronting fee of 0.50% per year. The Borrowers are also required to pay customary issuance fees and other fees and expenses in connection with the issuance of letters of credit under the New LC Facility. We paid upfront fees, commitment fees, agent fees and other fees to certain lenders, arrangers and agents for the Superpriority Credit Agreement.

The Superpriority Credit Agreement includes mandatory commitment reductions and prepayment requirements in connection with certain asset sales and casualty events. In addition, we will be required to make an annual prepayment of loans under the New Term Facility and reduce commitments under the New LC Facility with 75% of “excess cash flow” (as defined in the Superpriority Credit Agreement). The Superpriority Credit Agreement otherwise only requires periodic interest payments until maturity. Certain mandatory prepayments and voluntary prepayment of loans under the New Term Facility must be accompanied with a payment of a premium of (x) during the first six months (other than with respect prepayments for certain asset sales), up to the greater of 3.0% of the aggregate principal amount of term loans being repaid and the sum of the present values of the term loans, being repaid, the accrued interest on such term loans and 3.0% of the principal amount of such term loans and (y) during the period after the first six months but prior to the eighteenth month anniversary (and with respect to prepayments for certain asset sales), 3.0% of the aggregate principal amount of term loans being repaid. The Borrowers may terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portion of the New LC Facility at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs), subject to certain notice requirements.

The Superpriority Credit Agreement requires McDermott to comply with the following financial covenants:

•

limitations on specified variances from receipts and disbursements set forth in McDermott’s budget;

•

minimum Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Superpriority Credit Agreement), tested on a trailing four quarters basis on a quarterly basis;

•

minimum liquidity of no less than $75 million at any time; and

•

maximum cost adjustments to specified projects for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 not to exceed $260 million.

The Superpriority Credit Agreement contains various affirmative covenants, including requirements that provide that:

•

McDermott will appoint a Chief Transformation Officer to report to McDermott’s CEO and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of McDermott;

•

concurrently with the funding of Tranche B, Tranche C and Tranche D as described above, participating lenders would receive equity in McDermott totaling up to an aggregate of 15% of McDermott’s total issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Stock”), (on a pro rata basis relative to each lender’s commitment amount); and

•

in addition to customary periodic financial reporting obligations, McDermott will deliver periodic cash flow forecasts and variance reports to the lenders under the Superpriority Credit Agreement.

The Lenders’ obligation to fund Tranche B, Tranche C and Tranche D under the Superpriority Credit Agreement are subject in all cases to their consent. McDermott expects that, prior to approving the funding of Tranche B, Tranche C or Tranche D, the Lenders will require McDermott to deliver additional financial information to the Lenders and their advisors about McDermott, including updates on McDermott’s short-term cash flows and McDermott’s progress in evaluating all potential alternatives to reduce leverage.

The Superpriority Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants that limit McDermott’s and each of its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to take certain actions, including: incurring or prepaying certain indebtedness; granting liens; engaging in mergers; selling assets; making investments and other restricted payments; engaging in transactions with affiliates; entering into sale and leaseback transactions; making certain capital expenditures; and entering into certain hedging transactions.

The Superpriority Credit Agreement contains customary events of default for a senior secured credit facility. If an event of default relating to a bankruptcy or other insolvency event occurs, all obligations under the Superpriority Credit Agreement will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default exists under the Superpriority Credit Agreement, the lenders may accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the Superpriority Credit Agreement and exercise other rights and remedies. In addition, if any event of default exists under the Superpriority Credit Agreement, the lenders may commence foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.

The foregoing description of the Superpriority Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Superpriority Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this report, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Consent and Waiver Agreement

On October 21, 2019, in consideration for the Preferred Stockholders’ (as defined below) consent to enter into the Superpriority Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement Amendment and the LC Agreement Amendment, McDermott entered into a Consent and Waiver Agreement (the “Consent and Waiver Agreement”) with West Street Capital Partners VII Offshore Investments, L.P., West Street Capital Partners VII – Parallel B, L.P., West Street Capital Partners VII B, L.P. and Apicorp Managed Account Investment Vehicle, L.P. (collectively, the “Preferred Stockholders”). Pursuant to the Consent and Waiver Agreement, McDermott agreed to issue to the Preferred Stockholders (i) shares of McDermott’s 12% Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) in an aggregate amount equal to 3.0% of the Accreted Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation providing for the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, voting, redemption and other rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”)) and (ii) a number of Series A warrants to purchase Common Stock with an initial exercise price per share of $0.01, subject to certain adjustments (the “Series A Warrants”) equal to the product of 1.5% times the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 21, 2019. Additionally, McDermott agreed to increase the Dividend Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) and the PIK Dividend Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) to 14.0% per annum and 15.0% per annum, respectively, per share of Preferred Stock.

The foregoing description of the Consent and Waiver Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Consent and Waiver Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this report, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation

On October 21, 2019, McDermott entered into certain direct financial obligations under the Credit Agreement Amendment, the LC Agreement Amendment and the Superpriority Credit Agreement and borrowings under the Superpriority Credit Agreement. The information regarding the Credit Agreement Amendment, the LC Agreement Amendment and the Superpriority Credit Agreement set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On October 21, 2019, in connection with and as consideration for the entry into the Superpriority Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement Amendment and the LC Agreement Amendment, McDermott has agreed to issue, on or before the date that each of Tranche B, Tranche C and Tranche D is funded, an aggregate of approximately 27.3 million shares of Common Stock to lenders. Alternatively, McDermott may issue securities convertible or exercisable for, or securities substantially equivalent to, Common Stock. Those issuances are conditioned upon the funding by the Lenders of the applicable tranche. In connection with such issuances, McDermott expects to enter into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which any shares of Common Stock issued (or issuable upon conversion or exchange) will be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As described under Item 1.01, pursuant to the Consent and Waiver Agreement, McDermott will issue to the Preferred Stockholders 3.0% of the Accreted Value of the Preferred Stock and a number of Series A warrants equal to the product of 1.5% times the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 21, 2019, in exchange for their consent for the entry into the Superpriority Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement Amendment and the LC Agreement Amendment. The Preferred Stock is convertible or exchangeable for Common Stock only upon election of the Preferred Stockholders upon a change of control of McDermott. The information under the heading “Consent and Wavier Agreement” set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Retention Bonus Award Agreements

On October 17, 2019, in connection with entry into the Superpriority Credit Agreement, the Board approved a form of Retention Bonus Award Agreement (the “Retention Bonus Award Agreement”) for David Dickson, President and Chief Executive Officer, Samik Mukherjee, Group Senior Vice President, Projects and Stuart Spence, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The Retention Bonus Award Agreement provides for the payment of cash retention bonuses (each, a “Retention Bonus”) of $3,375,000, $1,400,000 and $1,300,000 to each of Messrs. Dickson, Mukherjee and Spence, respectively. Each Retention Bonus will be payable as follows:

•

1/3 of the Retention Bonus will be paid on the effective date of the Retention Bonus Award Agreement (the “First Retention Payment”);

•

1/3 of the Retention Bonus will be paid on the date of funding of Tranche B (the “Second Retention Payment”); and

•

1/3 of the Retention Bonus will be paid on the date of funding of Tranche C (the “Third Retention Payment”).

If the executive is terminated for cause or voluntarily terminates without good reason the executive will be required to repay the applicable portion of the after-tax value of the Retention Bonus as follows: (i) the after-tax value of the First Retention Payment if such termination occurs before April 17, 2020, (ii) the after-tax value of the Second Retention Payment if such termination occurs before the six month anniversary of its payment, and (iii) the after-tax value of the Third Retention Payment if such termination occurs before December 31, 2020.

Also on October 17, 2019, the Board approved a form of Retention Bonus Award Agreement for other executive officers of McDermott (the “Retention Bonus Award Agreement for Other Officers”). The Retention Bonus Award Agreement for Other Officers provides for the payment of a cash Retention Bonus to executive officers of McDermott, including John M. Freeman, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, and Ian Prescott, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific, in the amount of $510,000 and $425,000, respectively. Under the Retention Bonus Award Agreement for Other Officers, if the executive is terminated for any reason other than due to a Qualifying Termination (as defined in the Retention Bonus Award Agreement for Other Officers) prior to December 31, 2020, the executive will be obligated to repay to McDermott the after-tax value of the Retention Bonus.

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

Press Release

On October 21, 2019, McDermott issued a press release announcing that it had entered into the Credit Agreement Amendment, the LC Agreement Amendment and the Superpriority Credit Agreement. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.

Cleansing Material

In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment, the LC Agreement Amendment, and the Superpriority Credit Agreement, we entered into separate non-disclosure agreements (the “Non-Disclosure Agreements”) with certain of the lenders under the Credit Facilities (the “Restricted Parties”) to facilitate discussions regarding a refinancing or restructuring of McDermott’s existing indebtedness or the sale of our Lummus Technology division. Pursuant to the Non-Disclosure Agreements, the Restricted Parties have been provided with confidential information regarding McDermott and its business (the “Cleansing Material”). We are obligated to disclose the Cleansing Material pursuant to the terms of the applicable Non-Disclosure Agreements. A copy of the Cleansing Material is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this report. The Cleansing Material contains all confidential information delivered to the Restricted Parties that constituted material non-public information regarding McDermott.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filings made by McDermott under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01

Other Events

Liquidity Update

Based on updated financial forecasts reflecting, among other things, potential adjustments on certain projects, we determined in September 2019 that there was a significant level of uncertainty as to whether we would be in compliance with certain financial covenants in the second half of 2019, including the leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum liquidity covenant, under the Credit Agreement and the Letter of Credit Agreement (before giving effect to the amendments described in Item 1.01 of this report). If we were not in compliance with these financial covenants for either of the last two fiscal quarters of 2019, we may have triggered an event of default under the Credit Agreement and the Letter of Credit Agreement, and a potential cross default under the Indenture, dated April 18, 2018, by and among MTA, MTUS, McDermott, the other guarantors party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, governing our 10.625% senior notes due 2024.

As a result of the uncertainty described above and our ongoing minimum liquidity requirements, we proactively engaged legal and financial advisors to evaluate our financial position and to address our liquidity concerns. As a result of this evaluation, we determined to enter into the Credit Agreement Amendment and LC Agreement Amendment, as well as the Superpriority Credit Agreement, each as described in this report, which we believe will address our liquidity concerns in the near term and allow us to continue to evaluate all potential long-term solutions to our liquidity needs. However, we can provide no assurance that we will meet all the conditions and other requirements to receiving the access to the additional capital from Tranches B through D under the Superpriority Credit Agreement, and our inability to obtain this capital or execute an alternative solution to our liquidity needs could have a material adverse effect on our securityholders.

Appointment of Chief Transformation Officer

On October 21, 2019, the Board appointed John R. Castellano, Managing Director at AlixPartners, LLP, and an authorized representative of AP Services, LLC, to act as McDermott’s Chief Transformation Officer. Mr. Castellano was appointed pursuant to a requirement in the Superpriority Credit Agreement as a condition to providing the funding thereunder.

Advisors to the Lenders

Certain of the lenders and letter of credit issuers were advised by Bracewell LLP (as legal counsel) and FTI Consulting, Inc. (as financial advisor) and Barclays Bank PLC was advised by Latham & Watkins LLP (as legal counsel). In addition, certain of the lenders were advised by Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP (as legal counsel) and Centerview Partners LLC (as financial advisor).

On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (each a “Term Loan”) to the Borrowers on the Effective Date in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Term Lender’s Term Commitment. Each Term Lender’s Term Commitment shall terminate immediately and without any further action upon the making of a Term Loan by such Term Lender or, if earlier, at 5:00 p.m., (New York time) on the Effective Date. Amounts of Term Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(b) Revolving Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make loans (each a “Revolving Loan”) to a Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Revolving Termination Date in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Amounts of Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1(b). The entire amount of the Revolving Commitments will be available in the form of letters of credit issued pursuant to Section 2.4.

(i) There shall be one Borrowing of Term Loans on the Effective Date, which shall be made on notice given by the Borrowers to the Term Loan Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) (A) one Business Day prior to the Effective Date, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (B) three Business Days prior to the Effective Date, in the case of a

-72-

Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Such notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1 (a “Notice of Term Borrowing”) (or shall be made by telephone and the same information shall be confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), specifying (1) the Effective Date as the date of such proposed Borrowing, (2) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing, (3) whether any portion of the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, (4) the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods for any such Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (5) remittance instructions. The Term Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, subject to Section 2.17, the Notice of Term Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrowing of Term Loans shall be allocated in accordance with each Term Lender’s Term Commitment.

(ii) Unless the Term Loan Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Term Lender prior to the Effective Date that such Term Lender shall not make available to the Term Loan Administrative Agent such Term Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Borrowing to be made on such date (or any portion thereof), the Term Loan Administrative Agent may assume that such Term Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Term Loan Administrative Agent on the Effective Date in accordance with this Section 2.2(a) and the Term Loan Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Term Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Term Loan Administrative Agent, such Term Lender and the Borrowers agree to repay to the Term Loan Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Term Loan Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Term Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Term Lender shall repay to the Term Loan Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Term Lender’s Term Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrowers shall repay to the Term Loan Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Term Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrowers.

(iii) The failure of any Term Lender to make its Term Loan or any payment required by it on the date specified, shall not relieve any other Term Lender of its obligations to make its Term Loan or payment on such date but no such other Term Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Term Lender to make a Term Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

(b) Revolving Loan Borrowings.

(i) Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made on notice given by a Borrower to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent not later than

-73-

11:00 a.m. (New York time) (A) on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (B) three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each such notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C-2 (a “Notice of Revolving Borrowing”) (or shall be made by telephone and the same information shall be confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), specifying (1) the date of such proposed Borrowing, (2) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing, (3) whether any portion of the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, (4) the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods for any such Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (5) remittance instructions. The Revolving Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, subject to Section 2.17, the Notice of Revolving Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 (or $500,000.00 with respect to Swing Loans) and shall be allocated ratably in accordance with each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

(ii) Unless the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Revolving Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Revolving Lender shall not make available to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent such Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Borrowing to be made on such date (or any portion thereof), the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2(b), and the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Revolving Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, such Revolving Lender on the one hand and the Borrowers, jointly and severally, on the other agree to repay to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Revolving Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Revolving Lender shall repay to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrowers shall repay to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Revolving Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrowers.

(iii) The failure of any Revolving Lender to make its Revolving Loan or any payment required by it on the date specified, including any payment in

-74-

respect of its participation in Swing Loans and Revolving Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligations to make its Revolving Loan or payment on such date but no such other Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Revolving Lender to make a Revolving Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall in any event mature no later than the Revolving Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (a).

(b) In order to request a Swing Loan, a Borrower shall telecopy (or, if consented to by the Swing Loan Lender and the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, forward by electronic mail or similar means) to the Swing Loan Lender (with a copy to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent) a duly completed request in substantially the form of Exhibit D (or shall make such request by telephone and promptly thereafter forward a written confirmation containing the same information), setting forth the requested amount and date of the Swing Loan (a “Swing Loan Request”), to be received by the Swing Loan Lender not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day of the proposed borrowing. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender may make a Swing Loan available to the requesting Borrower on the date of the relevant Swing Loan Request. The Swing Loan Lender shall not make any Swing Loan in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.3 shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. The Swing Loan Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.3 have been satisfied in connection with the making of any Swing Loan.

If and to the extent that a Revolving Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, such Revolving Lender on the one hand and the Borrowers jointly and severally on the other agree to repay to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to overdue Swing Loans and (ii) in the case of such Revolving Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to overdue Swing Loans. Upon such payment by a Revolving Lender, such Revolving Lender shall, except as provided in clause (f) below, be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower.

Section 2.7 Letters of Credit Generally

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all Existing Revolving Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 2.4 on behalf of a Borrower, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms hereof, (ii) all Existing LC Facility Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 2.5 on behalf of a Borrower, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms hereof and (iii) all Existing Cash Secured Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to Sections 2.6 on behalf of a Borrower, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms hereof. None of the Lenders (other than the Issuers in their capacity as such and on the terms and conditions hereof) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit.

(b) In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit be later than the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months from the date of Issuance thereof or such later date as the applicable Issuer may agree in its sole discretion and (ii) the fifth Business Day prior to the Applicable Maturity Date or, with the approval of the applicable Issuer in its sole discretion, any date that is after the fifth Business Day prior to the Applicable Maturity Date (including after the Applicable Maturity Date); provided, however, that, if the applicable Issuer agrees in its sole discretion, any Letter of Credit with a fixed term may provide for the auto-renewal thereof for additional periods of not more than 12 months each (each, an “Auto-Renewal LC”); provided, further, that any such Auto-Renewal LC must permit the applicable Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each 12 month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof. If (A) any Issuance or renewal of a Letter of Credit occurs during the 12 month period prior to the Applicable Maturity Date or (B) the Parent requests (and the applicable Issuer approves) the Issuance of a Letter of Credit that expires after the fifth Business Day prior to the Applicable Maturity Date, then on or before the date that is 95 days prior to the Applicable Maturity Date (or on the date of such Issuance, if the date of such Issuance is later than the 95th day prior to the Applicable Maturity Date), the Borrowers shall make arrangements acceptable to the relevant Issuer in respect of the amount of each such Letter of Credit that expires after the fifth Business Day prior to the Applicable Maturity Date (each such Letter of Credit with regard to which acceptable arrangements have been so made, an “Extended Letter of Credit”). Each Extended Letter of Credit shall, on the Applicable Maturity Date and if all Applicable Reimbursement Obligations have been repaid in full, for all purposes cease to be a Letter of Credit

-84-

hereunder and the obligations (if any) of the Applicable Lenders to fund or risk participate their Ratable Portions of such Extended Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (i) below shall be terminated on the Applicable Maturity Date. After the Applicable Maturity Date and the repayment in full of all Applicable Reimbursement Obligations, the terms for release of such cash collateral shall be as agreed from time to time between the Parent and the applicable Issuer; provided that in the absence of such agreement between the Parent and such Issuer, the terms of this Agreement shall, as among the Parent, the Borrowers and such Issuer, continue to govern the fees, costs and expenses payable in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit.

(c) In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall give the relevant Issuer and the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, at least two 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”). Such notice shall be irrevocable on and after the Issuance of such Letter of Credit (and, prior to such Issuance, may be revoked only with the consent of the Issuer) and shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day), whether such Letter of Credit is a Revolving Letter of Credit, LC Facility Letter of Credit or a Cash Secured Letter of Credit and the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Unless the Issuer and Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, otherwise agree, such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer and the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(d) Subject to (x) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.7 and (y) receipt from the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, if requested by the Issuer, of the total outstanding amount of Reimbursement Obligations at such time and any fees and expenses related to Letters of Credit that are due and payable at such time (including the amount of any outstanding requests for Issuance), the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrowers in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, or, any Revolving Lender, if a Revolving Letter of Credit or LC Lender if a LC Facility Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.3 shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. The relevant Issuer shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.4(a), Section 2.5(a), or Section 2.6(a), as applicable, and Section 3.3 have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit.

agreement, in such form as the Issuer may employ in its ordinary course of business for its own account (a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement”), signed by the Borrowers and the Parent, and such other documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

(i) give the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, which writing may be a telecopy or, if consented to by the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, electronic mail) of the Issuance or renewal of a Letter of Credit issued by it, of all drawings under a Letter of Credit issued by it, the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the Borrowers of any Reimbursement Obligation and of the cancellation, termination or expiration of any Letter of Credit (of which notice the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent shall, in the case of a Revolving Letter of Credit or LC Facility Letter of Credit, promptly notify each Lender under the LC Facility or Revolving Facility, as applicable);

(ii) (A) upon the request of any Revolving Lender, furnish to such Revolving Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Revolving Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Revolving Lender and (B) upon the request of any LC Lender, furnish to such LC Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such LC Facility Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such LC Lender; and

(iii) no later than five Business Days following the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, provide to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent (and the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Revolving Lender or LC Lender requesting the same) and the Borrowers a schedule of Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at the end of each calendar quarter and any information requested by the Borrowers or the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent relating thereto.

(g) Each Cash Secured LC Issuer shall:

-86-

(ii) no later than five Business Days following the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, provide to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent and the Borrowers a schedule of Cash Secured Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agents, setting forth the aggregate Cash Secured Letter of Credit Outstandings outstanding at the end of each calendar quarter and any information requested by the Borrowers or such Administrative Agent relating thereto.

(h) (i) Effective with respect to the Existing Revolving Letters of Credit upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, and otherwise effective immediately upon the Issuance by a Revolving Issuer of a Revolving Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Revolving Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Lender and each Revolving Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from each Revolving Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion in such Revolving Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrowers with respect thereto (including all Revolving Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto and (ii) effective with respect to the Existing LC Facility Letters of Credit upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, and otherwise effective immediately upon the Issuance by a LC Facility Issuer of a LC Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each LC Facility Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each LC Lender and each LC Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from each LC Facility Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such LC Lender’s Ratable Portion in such LC Facility Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrowers with respect thereto (including all LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

(i) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer in respect of any Letter of Credit in Dollars (based on the Dollar Equivalent of such payment if such payment was made in an Alternative Currency) no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after the Borrowers receives notice from such Issuer (or, if such notice is not received prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York Time) on any Business Day, then no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York 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 Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person.

(i) If any Revolving Issuer makes any payment under any Revolving Letter of Credit and a Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Revolving Issuer pursuant to this clause (i) or any such payment in respect thereof is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Revolving Reimbursement

-87-

Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Revolving Issuer shall promptly notify the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, and the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such failure, and each Revolving Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent for the account of such Revolving Issuer the amount of such Revolving Lender’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 Revolving and LC Administrative Agent so notifies such Revolving Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Revolving Lender shall make available to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent for the account of such Revolving Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Whenever any Revolving Issuer receives from a Borrower a payment of a Revolving Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Revolving Issuer any payment from a Revolving Lender pursuant to this clause (i), such Revolving Issuer shall pay to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent and the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Revolving Lender in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Revolving Lenders have paid in respect of such Revolving Reimbursement Obligation.

(ii) If any LC Facility Issuer makes any payment under any LC Facility Letter of Credit and a Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such LC Facility Issuer pursuant to this clause (i) or any such payment in respect thereof is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such LC Facility Reimbursement Obligation shall be immediately due and payable with interest thereon at the rate specified in Section 2.13(d), and such LC Facility Issuer shall promptly notify the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, and the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each LC Lender of such failure, and each LC Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Facility Issuer the amount of such LC Lender’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 Revolving and LC Administrative Agent so notifies such LC Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such LC Lender shall make available to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Facility Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Whenever any LC Facility Issuer receives from a Borrower a payment of a LC Facility Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent has received for the account of such LC Facility Issuer any payment from a LC Lender pursuant to this clause (i), such LC Facility Issuer shall pay to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent and the Revolving and LC

-88-

Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such LC Lender in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such LC Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the LC Lenders have paid in respect of such LC Facility Reimbursement Obligation.

(j) Each Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Applicable Lenders (except as otherwise set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.7(b)) to make payments to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent for the account of the Applicable 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 Loan 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 Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Parent, any Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Parent, any Borrower, 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, any Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan 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 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 Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agents 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 a Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

-89-

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, the 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 Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (i) above available to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer, such Lender agrees to pay to the Revolving and LC 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 Revolving and LC Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuer its Ratable Portion of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Revolving and LC 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 Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer such other Lender’s Ratable Portion of any such payment.

(l) The Revolving and LC Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency and each obligation due with respect thereto, and a determination thereof by the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Dollar Equivalent of each Reimbursement Obligation with respect to a drawn Letter of Credit shall be calculated on the date the Issuer pays the draw giving rise to such Reimbursement Obligation. The Revolving and LC Administrative Agent shall determine or redetermine the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, as applicable, on the date of each Issuance of such Letter of Credit and at any time, in the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. The Revolving and LC Administrative Agent may determine or redetermine the Dollar Equivalent of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency at any time upon request of any Lender or Issuer.

-90-

(m) The Borrowers shall furnish each Administrative Agent with (i) a copy of each Letter of Credit promptly upon the Issuance or renewal of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a copy of any amendment to such Letter of Credit promptly upon the effectiveness of such amendment.

(n) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Revolving Issuer or LC Facility Issuer shall be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit if any Revolving Lender or LC Facility Lender, as applicable, is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to such Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers to eliminate such Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be Issued or that Letter of Credit and all other Revolving Letter of Credit Obligations or LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations, as applicable, as to which such Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Cash Secured LC Issuer shall be under any obligation to Issue any Cash Secured Letter of Credit at any time.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is Issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of Issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

Section 2.8 Reduction and Termination of the Commitments

(a) The applicable Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the LC Facility Commitments or Revolving Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000.00 and (ii) each such reduction shall be made ratably in accordance with each Lender’s LC Facility Commitment or Revolving Commitment, as applicable. A notice of termination of the LC Facility Commitments or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other financing transactions, and if any notice so states it may be revoked by the applicable Borrower by notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified for the termination of the LC Facility Commitments or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, that the refinancing condition has not been met and the termination is to be revoked (it being understood that any Term Loans outstanding at the time of such notice or drawn thereafter will, upon such revocation, be continued as Base Rate Loans and, thereafter, may be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.14).

(b) The Borrowers may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Term Loan Administrative Agent, the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent and the Cash Secured LC Issuers (which notice the Term Loan Administrative Agent shall

-91-

promptly transmit to each of the Term Loan Lenders), without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 2.11(b)), on any day, permanently terminate or reduce the Cash Secured Letter of Credit Issuer Commitment in whole or in part; provided that, immediately upon any such termination or reduction, (i) the Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Cash Secured Letter of Credit Issuer Commitment so terminated or reduced in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.11(a) and (ii) the Cash Secured Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to each Cash Secured LC Issuer with a Specified Cash Secured Letter of Credit Commitment shall not exceed the Specified Cash Secured Letter of Credit Commitment of such Cash Secured LC Issuer. The Borrowers shall be permitted to withdraw an amount up to the amount of such prepayment or repayment from the Cash Secured LC Cash Collateral Account to complete such prepayment or repayment.

(c) The Revolving Commitments and the LC Facility Commitments shall automatically reduce pro rata by an amount equal to the amount by which any cash collateral posted under the terms of the Priming Credit Agreement after the repayment in full of the Term Loans (as defined in the Priming Credit Agreement on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date) exceeds the Revolving Exposure (as defined in the Priming Credit Agreement on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date). The Revolving and LC Administrative Agent (i) shall calculate such pro rata reduction using (A) the Migration Base Amount as the reduction of the LC Facility Commitments and (B) the total amount of the reduction less the Migration Base Amount as the reduction of the Revolving Commitments and (ii) shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender and each LC Lender of the amount of its respective Commitment reduction.

Section 2.9 Repayment of Loans

(a) Subject to Section 2.9(b), the Borrowers shall repay the Term Loans on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year and ending with the last such day to occur prior to the Scheduled Term Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount for each such date equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made on the Effective Date.

(b) Any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce any subsequent Installments as provided in Section 2.9(c) and Section 2.12(h), respectively.

(c) Prior to any repayment of any Term Loans under this Section 2.9, the Borrowers shall select the Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Term Loan Administrative Agent of such selection. Each such notice shall be given in writing. Each repayment of Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Lenders holding such Term Loans in accordance with their applicable Ratable Portions.

(d) The Borrowers promise to repay (in cash, in full and in immediately available funds) the entire unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans and the Cash Secured Reimbursement Obligations on the Term Maturity Date (it being understood that

-92-

other provisions of this Agreement may require all or part of such Obligations to be repaid earlier). Upon the repayment of the then outstanding Term Loans on the Term Maturity Date, the Cash Secured Letter of Credit Issuer Commitment shall be reduced to zero and the Borrowers shall be permitted to withdraw the amount deposited in the Cash Secured LC Cash Collateral Account to complete such repayment; provided that after giving effect to such withdrawal, the Cash Secured Letter of Credit Cash Coverage Requirement shall be satisfied.

(e) The Borrowers promise to repay (in cash, in full and in immediately available funds) the entire unpaid principal amount of (i) the Revolving Loans and Revolving Reimbursement Obligations on the Revolving Termination Date (it being understood that other provisions of this Agreement may require all or part of such Obligations to be repaid earlier).

(f) The Borrowers promise to repay (in cash, in full and in immediately available funds) the entire unpaid principal amount of the LC Facility Reimbursement Obligations on the LC Facility Maturity Date (it being understood that other provisions of this Agreement may require all or part of such Obligations to be repaid earlier).

Section 2.10 Evidence of Debt

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(b) (i) The Revolving and LC Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (A) the amount of each Revolving Loan made and, if such Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (B) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable by the Borrowers to each Revolving Lender and LC Lender hereunder and (C) the amount of any sum received by the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Revolving Lender’s and LC Lender’s share thereof, if applicable and (ii) the Term Loan Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (A) the amount of each Term Loan made and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (B) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable by the Borrowers to each Term Lender hereunder and (C) the amount of any sum received by the Term Loan Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Term Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Term Lender’s share thereof, if applicable.

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of

a notice of prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans in whole or in part may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other financing transactions, and if any notice so states it may be revoked by the Borrowers by notice to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified for such prepayment that the refinancing condition has not been met and the notice of such prepayment is to be revoked (it being understood that any Revolving Loans outstanding at the time of such notice or drawn thereafter will, upon such revocation, be continued as Base Rate Loans and, thereafter, may be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.14).

(b) Term Loan Call Protection. The Borrowers will pay a prepayment premium in connection with any Repricing Event with respect to all or any portion of the Term Loans that occurs on or before the twelve month anniversary of the Effective Date (whether before or after acceleration of the Term Loans or the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding), in an amount equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loans subject to such Repricing Event.

The Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the applicable Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clauses (e) or (f) below, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.18, Section 2.19 or Section 2.17(c) or (d) shall be paid only to any affected Lender and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be paid only to the Swing Loan Lender. Payments received by any Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed (in such Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) to be received on the next Business Day.

(b) All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Applicable Administrative Agent on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (in each case calculated to include the first day but exclude the last day) (i) over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of interest accruing at the Base Rate when the Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate, and (ii) over a year of 360 days at all other times. Each determination by the Applicable Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Loans under any Facility shall be applied as follows: first, to repay Loans under such Facility outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay Loans under such Facility outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods.

(d) Unless an Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, such Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full to such Administrative Agent on such date and such Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrowers shall not have made such payment in full to such Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to such Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest

-104-

thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, for the first three Business Days, and, thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to such Administrative Agent.

(e) Subject to the provisions of clause (f) below and the provisions of Section 2.12 with respect to the application of mandatory prepayments, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agents from or for the benefit of any Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans an Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which such Administrative Agent has not been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrowers, second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable, and third, as the Borrowers so designate. Payments in respect of Swing Loans received by an Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the Swing Loan Lender; payments in respect of other Loans or Reimbursement Obligations received by any Administrative Agent shall, subject to Section 2.23, be distributed to each applicable Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion (calculated (i) in the case of principal payments, without giving effect to the Commitments of any Defaulting Lender that has not fully funded its share of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations being repaid and (ii) in the case of interest and fee payments, without giving effect to the Commitments of any Defaulting Lender for the amount of interest, LC Facility Commitment Fees, Revolving Commitment Fees or Letter of Credit Participation Fees payable in respect of Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations for which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its share of the Loan or Letter of Credit Obligations) and as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.15(e) and Section 2.23(a)(iv).

(f) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any net proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether from a Loan Party’s sale of Collateral or the Collateral Agent’s or any Secured Party’s receipt of proceeds from any exercise of remedies, and each Borrower and each Lender agrees that, during such time, each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may, and upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all other proceeds of Collateral, in the following order (subject to any adjustments under Section 2.23(a)(ii)):

first, to pay interest on and then principal of (i) the Loans that any Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which such Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrowers and (ii) the Liquidity Reimbursement Obligations owed to any Liquidity Issuer for which such Issuer has not then been reimbursed by any Lender or the Borrowers;

second, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities (including fees and expenses in respect of cash

-105-

management services) then due to any Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent;

third, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities (including fees and expenses in respect of cash management services) then due to the Lenders and the Issuers;

fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers;

fifth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans (ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans) and Liquidity Reimbursement Obligations; and

sixth, to pay or prepay the Loans, Liquidity Reimbursement Obligations and other Obligations including payment of amounts owed in respect of a Revolving Lender’s participation in any Swing Loans and to provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3, ratably to the aggregate amount of such Loans, Liquidity Reimbursement Obligations, other Obligations and Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Obligation described in any of clauses first through sixth above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the interest of the Agent, Lender, Issuer or other Person holding such Obligations in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses;

provided, further, that with respect to the Cash Secured LC Cash Collateral Account (and all amounts deposited therein or credited thereto), any amounts so received shall be applied:

first, on a pro rata basis, to the payment of all amounts due to each Cash Secured LC Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, excluding amounts payable in connection with any Cash Secured Reimbursement Obligations;

second, on a pro rata basis, to the payment of all amounts due to each Cash Secured LC Issuer in an amount equal to 100% of all Cash Secured Reimbursement Obligations;

third, on a pro rata basis, to any Secured Party which has theretofore advanced or paid any fees to a Cash Secured LC Issuer, other than any amounts covered by priority second, an amount equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such Secured Party and for which such Secured Party has not previously reimbursed; and

-106-

fourth, the balance, if any, after all of the relevant Cash Secured Reimbursement Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, as set forth in the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement and any other applicable intercreditor agreement.

If any Secured Party collects or receives any amounts or obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of the Obligations to which it is not entitled under or in excess of the amount it would be entitled under this Section 2.16(f) if such payment had been received by an Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, such Secured Party shall hold the same in trust for the applicable Secured Parties entitled thereto and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, for the account of such Secured Parties, to be applied in accordance with this Section 2.16(f), in each case until the prior payment in full in cash of the applicable Obligations of such Secured Parties.

Section 2.17 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans

(a) Determination of Interest Rate. The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.” An Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the Borrowers.

(b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair.

(i) If (A) an Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed (including, without limitation, because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) or (B) the Applicable Requisite Lenders notify the Applicable Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period or calendar quarter, such Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Applicable Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Rate Loan in respect of such Facility shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Applicable Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that the Applicable Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, which notice shall be given promptly following such determination. Thereafter, the Borrowers’ right to request, and the Applicable Lenders’ obligations, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be restored.

-107-

unlikely to be temporary or (B) the circumstances set forth in clause (b)(i)(A) or (b)(i)(B) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agents and the Borrowers shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agents shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Requisite Lenders stating that such Requisite Lenders object to such amendment.

(c) Increased Costs. If at any time any Lender or an Issuer determines that any Change in Law (including any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate) shall (i) have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender or such Issuer of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (ii) subject any Lender or any Issuer to any Tax (except for Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to Section 2.19) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuer of making, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuer hereunder with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or Letter of Credit (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then the Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender or such Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Applicable Administrative Agent), pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such Issuer additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Issuer for such additional cost incurred or reduction suffered. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be, together with supporting documents, submitted to the Borrowers and the Applicable Administrative Agent by such Lender or such Issuer and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent, if any, the change (or compliance) referred to in such certificate shall be retroactive, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuer pursuant to this clause (c) for any increased costs or reduction incurred more than 180 days prior to the date of such certificate. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuer the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after its receipt of the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall be entitled to demand

-108-

compensation for any additional cost or reduction pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) if it is not the general policy or practice of such Person to demand it in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements (as reasonably determined by such Person).

(d) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Applicable Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Borrowers shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this Section 2.17(d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrowers and the Applicable Administrative Agent. The Borrowers’ right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

(e) Breakage Costs. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.13, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loan to the Borrowers, but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin or other profit on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a proposed Borrowing or continuation of, or conversion into, Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrowers or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid by reason of an increase or a reduction in Commitments on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above, (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrowers to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof, or (v) as a consequence of the assignment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.20 or Section 11.1(c). The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrowers concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent manifest error.

-109-

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

Section 2.18 Capital Adequacy

If at any time any Lender or any Issuer determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuer’s (or any Person controlling such Lender’s or such Issuer’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuer or Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender or such Issuer, the Borrowers shall pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such Issuer, from time to time as specified by such Lender or such Issuer, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Issuer for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand and a calculation for such amount shall be submitted to the Borrowers and the Applicable Administrative Agent by such Lender or such Issuer and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error; provided that no such certificate need disclose any information that is sensitive, confidential or legally restricted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent, if any, the change (or compliance) referred to in any such certificate shall be retroactive, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or such Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.18 for any reduction in rates of return with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the date of each such certificate. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

Section 2.19 Taxes

(a) All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party to or for the account of any Lender or Issuer or any Administrative Agent hereunder or under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (“Taxes”), except pursuant to a Requirement of Law (which for purposes of this Section 2.19 shall include FATCA). If a Withholding Agent shall be required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of such Withholding Agent) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any such payment to any Lender or the Applicable Administrative Agent then, (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deductions or withholdings, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted by it to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall furnish to such Administrative Agent (in case the applicable Withholding

-110-

Agent is a Loan Party) or to the Borrowers (in case the applicable Withholding Agent is the Applicable Administrative Agent) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Administrative Agent or the Borrowers (as applicable) within 30 days after such payment is made. In addition, in the case of any Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) that are, in either case, (i) deducted or withheld by a Withholding Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and (ii) not an Excluded Tax, the sum payable by the Borrowers under the applicable Loan Document shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions or withholdings for such Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.19) such Lender or such Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Government Authority any stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes (including any interest, additions to Tax or penalties applicable thereto), in each case arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.20) (“Other Taxes”) or, at the option of the Applicable Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify, jointly and severally, each Administrative Agent, each Issuer and each Lender, for the full amount of Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) imposed on or with respect to a payment made by or on account of an obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.19(c)) deducted or withheld by the Borrowers or paid by the Applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 10 days of the date such Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or any Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or any other Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the parties contained in this Section 2.19 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of any Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement, the Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

-111-

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

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code,

(A)

any Lender that is a United States Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Applicable Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or such Administrative Agent), properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B)

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

(1)

in the case of a non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable,

-112-

establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such Tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such Tax treaty;

(2)

properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)

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

(4)

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

(C)

any non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Applicable Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be

-113-

requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or such Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or such Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(D)

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

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

-114-

or the receipt or application of such refund or credit (unless such Lender reasonably expects that it shall be required to repay such refund or credit to the relevant Governmental Authority), pay the amount of such refund or credit to the Borrowers, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and Taxes imposed on the Lender or Issuer or an Administrative Agent with respect to such amounts, without interest thereon and subject to Section 11.6; provided, however, that the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to return such refund or credit paid by the Lender, Issuer or the Applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender or Issuer or such Administrative Agent within 30 days after receipt of written notice in the event that such Lender or Issuer or such Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund or credit to the relevant Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will a Lender or Issuer or the Applicable Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Lender or Issuer or such Administrative Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender or Issuer or such Administrative Agent would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund or credit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing contained in this Section 2.19 shall require any Lender or the Applicable Administrative Agent to make available to any Loan Party any Tax Return or any other document containing information that it deems to be confidential.

Section 2.20 Substitution of Lenders

If (a)(i) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.17(c) or 2.18, (ii) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.17(d), (iii) the Borrowers are required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.19 that is attributable to a particular Lender, or (iv) any Liquidity Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (b) in the case of clause (a)(i) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans exceeds the effective average rate of interest payable to the Applicable Requisite Lenders under this Agreement, and (c) in the case of clauses (a)(i) and (ii) above, (i) if such Lender is a Term Lender, Applicable Lenders holding at least 75% of the outstanding Term Loans are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings and (ii) if such Lender is not a Term Lender, Applicable Lenders holding at least 75% of the Applicable Commitments are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrowers may, at Borrowers’ sole effort and expense, substitute another financial institution for such Affected Lender hereunder, upon reasonable prior written notice (which written notice must be given within 90 days following the notification to the Borrowers of any applicable event described in clauses (a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) by the Borrowers to each Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender that the Borrowers intend to make such substitution. A substitute financial institution (x) must be an Eligible Assignee and (y) if not already a Lender in respect of such Facility, must be acceptable to each Administrative Agent and each Applicable Issuer (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or

-115-

delayed); provided, however, that, if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Borrowers within 30 days of each other, then the Borrowers may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Borrowers have already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the Borrowers’ receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims. 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 Lender shall sell and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall purchase, at par plus accrued interest and Letter of Credit Participation Fees, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and such substitute financial institution or other entity shall assume, and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of, its Applicable Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan 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 Lender, upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption (that, in any event shall be conditioned upon the payment in full by the Borrowers in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date to such Affected Lender), the substitute financial institution or other entity shall become a “Lender” hereunder in respect of the applicable Facility for all purposes of this Agreement (x) having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment assumed by it (if any) and such Commitment of the Affected Lender shall be terminated and (y) holding the amount of Applicable Loans and Reimbursement Obligations held by the Affected Lender; provided, however, that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender. Such Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such transfer; provided, however, that the failure of the Affected Lender 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 Lender of such payment in full.

Section 2.21 Mitigation

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.17(c), or requires the Borrowers to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, any Administrative Agent or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrowers) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17(c) or 2.19, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

-116-

Section 2.22 Cash Collateral

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) after the request of any Administrative Agent or any Liquidity Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrowers 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 Lender).

(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 Borrowers, the Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Liquidity Issuers and the Liquidity Lenders, 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 Borrowers or the relevant Defaulting Lender 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 2.3, Section 2.4, 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 or Swing Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations, Swing Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, 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 giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the Lender (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 Loan 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

-117-

or Swing Loan Lender, as applicable 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 Lenders

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Each Lender hereby agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and each Lender hereby agrees that any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), 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 any Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.12 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to such Administrative Agent by the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.6), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by such Administrative Agent as follows:

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

second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to a Liquidity Issuer or Swing Loan Lender hereunder;

third, if so determined by the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent or requested by a Liquidity Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Loan or Liquidity Letter of Credit;

fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent;

fifth, if so determined by the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement;

sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other Liquidity Lenders or Liquidity Issuers or the Swing Loan Lender as a result of any judgment

-118-

of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Liquidity Lender or any Liquidity Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

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

eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Liquidity Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or Liquidity 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 Loans of, and the Liquidity Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Liquidity Reimbursement Obligations owed to, that Defaulting Lender.

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

(iii) Certain Fees. (x) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) each Defaulting Lender shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit 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 Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Liquidity Letters of Credit or Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.7, the “Ratable Portion” of each Non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of a Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and, in the case of Revolving Lenders, Swing Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Applicable Commitments of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Applicable Outstandings of that Lender.

-119-

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, the Swing Loan Lender and each Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent will so notify the Borrowers, the Liquidity Lenders and the Liquidity 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 Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of the other Lenders and take such other actions as the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Portions (without giving effect to clause (a)(iv) above), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender and no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

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

Section 2.24 Incremental Facility Commitments

-121-

Administrative Agent consistent with the above (but including only those upfront fees or original issue discount paid generally to all of the Lenders under the Term Facility at the time of the incurrence of the Term Facility)) unless the yield with respect to the Term Facility is increased by an amount equal to the difference between the yield with respect to such Incremental Term Loan Facility less 50 basis points and the yield for the Term Facility;

(v) each New Revolving Commitment and each New LC Facility Commitment shall be effected pursuant to an increase and joinder

-122-

agreement (an “Increase and Joinder Agreement”) in form and substance acceptable to the Applicable Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuer in its reasonable discretion, which Increase and Joinder Agreement may provide for an increase in the Applicable Margin applicable to all relevant Obligations, executed and delivered by the Borrowers, any existing Lender providing a New Incremental Commitment, any New Lender providing a New Incremental Commitment and such Administrative Agent (and, to the extent required, each applicable Issuer), and which shall be recorded in the Register, and each New Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.17(e) and (f);

(b) An Extension Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to an Extension Agreement executed and delivered by the Parent, each Borrower, each applicable Extending Lender and the Applicable Administrative Agent; provided that no Extension Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless (i) the conditions set forth in Section 3.3(b) shall have been satisfied or waived with respect to such Extension Permitted Amendment before and after giving effect to such Extension Permitted Amendment and (ii) the Parent and the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agents such legal opinions, board resolutions, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by either Administrative Agent in connection therewith.

(b) The Parent agrees that each Administrative Agent may, from time to time, retain, at the expense of the Parent, an independent professional consultant reasonably acceptable to the Parent to review any report relating to Contaminants prepared by or for the Parent or the Borrowers and to conduct its own investigation (the scope of which investigation shall be reasonable based upon the circumstances) of any property currently owned, leased, operated or used by the Parent, the Borrowers or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, if (x) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or (y) such Administrative Agent reasonably believes (1) that an occurrence relating to such property is likely to give rise to any Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $35,000,000.00 or (2) that a violation of an Environmental Law on or around such property has occurred or is likely to occur, which could, in either such case, reasonably be expected to result in Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $35,000,000.00, provided that, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such consultant shall not drill on any property of the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries without the Parent’s prior written consent. The Parent and the Borrowers shall use their reasonable efforts to obtain for each Administrative Agent and its agents, employees, consultants and contractors the right, upon reasonable notice to Parent, to enter into or on to the facilities or Mortgaged Vessels currently owned, leased, operated or used by the Parent, a Borrower or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to perform such tests on such property as are necessary to conduct such a review and/or investigation. Any such investigation of any property shall be conducted, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parent and the Applicable Administrative Agent, during normal business

-154-

hours and shall be conducted so as not to unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations at any such property or Mortgaged Vessel or to cause any damage or loss at such property or Mortgaged Vessel. The Parent, the Borrowers and each Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that any report of any investigation conducted at the request of any Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection will be obtained and shall be used by such Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the purposes of the Lenders’ internal credit decisions, to monitor the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations and to protect the Lenders’ security interests created by the Loan Documents, and each Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree any such report will be kept confidential by them to the extent permitted by law except as provided in the following sentence. Each Administrative Agent agrees to deliver a copy of any such report to the Parent with the understanding that the Parent acknowledges and agrees that (i) it will indemnify and hold harmless each Administrative Agent and each Lender from any costs, losses or liabilities relating to the Parent’s use of or reliance on such report, (ii) no Administrative Agent nor any Lender makes any representation or warranty with respect to such report, and (iii) by delivering such report to the Parent, no Administrative Agent nor any Lender is requiring or recommending the implementation of any suggestions or recommendations contained in such report.

(c) Promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Parent or any Borrower obtains actual knowledge thereof, the Parent or such Borrower shall advise each Administrative Agent, for delivery to the Applicable Lenders, in writing and in reasonable detail of (i) any Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants required to be reported by the Parent or its Restricted Subsidiaries, to any Governmental Authorities under any applicable Environmental Laws and which could reasonably be expected to have Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $35,000,000.00, (ii) any and all written communications with respect to any pending or threatened claims under Environmental Law in each such case which, individually or in the aggregate, have a reasonable possibility of giving rise to Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $35,000,000.00, (iii) any Remedial Action performed by the Parent or any other Person in response to (x) any Contaminants on, under or about any property, the existence of which has a reasonable possibility of resulting in Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $35,000,000.00, or (y) any other Environmental Liabilities and Costs that could reasonably be expected to result in Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $35,000,000.00, (iv) discovery by the Parent or its Restricted Subsidiaries of any occurrence or condition on any material property that could cause the Parent’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ interest in any such property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any applicable Environmental Laws or Environmental Liens other than those that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (v) any written request for information from any Governmental Authority that fairly suggests such Governmental Authority is investigating whether the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may be potentially responsible for a Release or threatened Release of Contaminants which has a reasonable possibility of giving rise to Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $35,000,000.00.

(d) The Parent shall promptly notify each Administrative Agent, for delivery to the Applicable Lenders, of (i) any proposed acquisition of Stock, assets, or

-155-

property by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to expose the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, or result in, Environmental Liabilities and Costs in excess of $35,000,000.00 and (ii) any proposed action to be taken by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to commence manufacturing, industrial or other similar operations that could reasonably be expected to subject the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to additional Environmental Laws, that are materially different from the Environmental Laws applicable to the operations of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date.

(e) The Parent shall, at its own expense, provide copies of such documents or information as an Administrative Agent or Lender may reasonably request in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section 7.10.

(f) To the extent required by Environmental Laws or Governmental Authorities under applicable Environmental Laws, the Parent shall promptly take, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries promptly to take, any and all necessary Remedial Action in connection with the presence, handling, storage, use, disposal, transportation or Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants on, under or affecting any property in order to comply in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws and Governmental Authorities under applicable Environmental Laws. In the event the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries undertakes any Remedial Action with respect to the presence, Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants on or affecting any property, the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall conduct and complete such Remedial Action in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, and in material accordance with the applicable policies, orders and directives of all relevant Governmental Authorities except when, and only to the extent that, the Parent or any such Subsidiaries’ liability for such presence, handling, storage, use, disposal, transportation or Release or threatened Release of any Contaminants is being contested in good faith by Parent or any of such Subsidiaries. In the event the Parent fails to take required actions to address such Release or threatened Release of Contaminants or to address a violation of or liability under Environmental Law, any Administrative Agent may, upon providing the Parent with 20 Business Days’ prior written notice, enter the property and, at the Parent’s sole expense, perform whatever action such Administrative Agent reasonably deems prudent to rectify the situation.

During the continuance of any Event of Default,

(a) The Revolving and LC Administrative Agent (i) may, and, at the request of the Requisite Revolving Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrowers declare that all or any portion of the Revolving Commitments be terminated, whereupon the obligation of each Revolving Lender to make any Revolving Loan and each Revolving Issuer to Issue any Revolving Letter of Credit shall immediately terminate and (ii) may and, at the request of the Requisite Revolving Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the Revolving Loans, all interest thereon and all other Revolving Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Revolving Loans, all such interest and all such other Revolving Obligations shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(f), (x) the Revolving Commitments of each Revolving Lender to make Revolving Loans and the commitments of each Revolving Lender and Revolving Issuer to Issue or participate in Revolving Letters of Credit shall each automatically be terminated and (y) the Revolving Loans, all such interest and all such other Revolving Letter of Credit Obligations shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers.

(b) The Revolving and LC Administrative Agent (i) may, and, at the request of the Requisite LC Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrowers declare that all or any portion of the LC Facility Commitments be terminated, whereupon the obligation of each LC Facility Issuer to Issue any LC Facility Letter of Credit shall immediately terminate and (ii) may and, at the request of the Requisite LC Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the LC Facility Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the LC Facility Obligations shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(f), (w) the LC Facility Commitments of each LC Lender and the commitments of each LC Lender and LC Facility Issuer to Issue or participate in LC Facility Letters of Credit shall each automatically be terminated, (x) the LC Facility Letter of Credit Obligations shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, (y) the commitments of each Cash Secured LC Issuer to Issue Cash Secured Letters of Credit shall each automatically be terminated and (z) the obligations in respect of the Cash Secured Letters of Credit shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Term Lender shall have any right to exercise, or direct any Administrative Agent to exercise or refrain from exercising, any right or remedy arising or available hereunder or under any other Loan Document upon the occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default if the only such Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing is a Specified Liquidity Facility Event of Default and neither (x) the Requisite LC Lenders have declared all LC Facility Obligations to be immediately due and payable and all outstanding LC Facility Commitments to be immediately terminated nor (y) the Requisite Revolving Lenders have declared all Revolving Facility Obligations to be immediately due and payable and all Revolving Facility Commitments to be immediately terminated (and the Requisite Revolving Lenders shall be entitled to declare all Revolving Obligations hereunder to be immediately due and payable, terminate all outstanding Revolving Commitments and direct the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent to exercise any remedies provided for by the Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms thereof or any other remedies provided by applicable law and the Requisite LC Lenders shall be entitled to declare all LC Facility Obligations hereunder to be immediately due and payable, terminate all outstanding LC Facility Commitments and direct the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent to exercise any remedies provided for by the Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms thereof or any other remedies provided by applicable law, in each case upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Liquidity Facility Event of Default).

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

Section 10.3 The Agents Individually

The Person serving as each Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not such Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Persons serving as the Agents hereunder in such Person’s individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory

-183-

capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 10.4 Lender Credit Decision

Each Lender and each Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 10.5 Indemnification

(a) Each Lender agrees to indemnify each Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Issuer (in such capacities) and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion (determined at the time such indemnity is made) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, an Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Issuer or any of their respective Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by an Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuer under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from an Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s or such Issuer’s or such Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or each Issuer, as applicable, promptly upon demand for its Ratable Portion (determined at the time such reimbursement is made) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by such Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuer, as applicable, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that such Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuer, as applicable, is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers or another Loan Party.

-184-

(b) To the extent required by any applicable law, each Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that any Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify such Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if an Administrative Agent determines that it otherwise did not withhold an applicable Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify such Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Administrative Agent in respect of Tax or otherwise, including any penalties and interest and together with any all costs and expenses (including legal expenses, and any out of pocket expenses) incurred, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

Section 10.6 Successor Agents

Each Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, (x) with respect to the Revolving Facility and the LC Facility, the Requisite Liquidity Lenders and (y) with respect to the Term Facility, the Requisite Term Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank (other than a Defaulting Lender) with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States of America. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Applicable Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if such Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by such Administrative Agent on behalf of or for the benefit of the Lenders or the Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security and the rights and obligations under the Parallel Debt until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and all rights and obligations of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Parallel Debt have been assigned and assumed by such successor Administrative Agent) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Administrative Agent (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Parallel Debt) shall instead be made by or to each applicable Lender and each applicable Issuer directly, until such time as the Applicable Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties (including all rights and obligations with respect to the Parallel Debt)

-185-

of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). Each party to the Collateral Documents governed by Dutch law shall enter into any documents as reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by the successor Collateral Agent to ensure that the successor Collateral Agent shall have substantially the same rights and obligations under the Collateral Documents governed by Dutch law as it would have had if such successor had been an original party thereto. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 11.3 and 11.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 10.7 Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents

(a) Each Lender and each Issuer agrees that any action taken by an Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a different proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, and the exercise by an Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where so required, such other proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be deemed authorized by and shall be binding upon all of the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

-187-

(iv) to the extent certified in writing by the Parent, any other Collateral that is no longer required to be subject to a Lien pursuant to the Loan Documents.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby irrevocably consents, in accordance with the terms hereof, to each Administrative Agent’s release any Guarantor from its Guarantee or its obligations under the Pledge and Security Agreement and any other Collateral Document if such release is permitted by Section 11.1(a)(ix). Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby irrevocably consents to the Collateral Agent’s execution, delivery and filing of such termination and partial release statements and such other things as are necessary to release Liens and guaranties to be released pursuant to this Section 10.7 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release.

The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Collateral shall extend to and be available in respect of any Obligation that is otherwise owed to Persons other than any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers (collectively, “Related Obligations”) solely on the condition and understanding, as among the Collateral Agent and all Secured Parties, that (a) the Related Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan Documents and the Collateral to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to such extent the Collateral Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with respect to, the Collateral Documents and the Collateral on behalf of and as agent for the holders of the Related Obligations, but the Collateral Agent is otherwise acting solely as agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and shall have no fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Related Obligations, (b) all matters, acts and omissions relating in any manner to the Collateral Documents, the Collateral, or the omission, creation, perfection, priority, abandonment or release of any Lien, shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or remedy shall arise or exist in favor of any Secured Party under any separate instrument or agreement or in respect of any Related

-199-

(ii) The Term Loan Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Term Lenders and the Term Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Term Loans of each Term Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Term Register”).

The Term Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Term Lender (solely with respect to its own commitments), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time after (i) the Effective Date, with respect to any Term Lender and (ii) the Execution Date, with respect to any Revolving Lender or LC Lender, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or any Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than ~~a Disqualified Lender,~~ a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, the Parent, any Borrower, or any of the Parent’s other Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Commitment, Revolving Commitment, LC Facility Commitment and/or the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, each Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuers and the Swing Loan Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, no Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

-200-

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver which would (x) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such Participant under the Loan Documents, to which such Participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation, (y) increase the commitment applicable to such 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 Borrower jointly and severally agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) above. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.6 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.7 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.17(c), 2.18 and 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ 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 Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.19 as if it were a Lender which received its interest pursuant to an assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, but only if each Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

-201-

Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement), and (ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans) to (y) any trustee for the benefit of the holders of such Lender’s Securities or any other holder of a Lender’s debt obligations or representative of such holder or (z) to any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above, in each case without notice to or consent of the Borrowers or any Administrative Agent; and provided, further, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above, and the Loan Parties shall continue to deal directly with the Lender and the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve of any consents, amendments or other modifications thereto. Each Lender agrees that neither the grant to any Special Purpose Vehicle nor the exercise by any Special Purpose Vehicle shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise change the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (g) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement).

(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 Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Revolving Lender (with respect to the Revolving Facility) or LC Lender (with respect to the LC Facility) that is not a Defaulting Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrowers, the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Lender. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender 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 2.4 or 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.

(i) Term Loan Repurchases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.2 or any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers may repurchase outstanding Term Loans, and each Term Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Term Loans to the Borrowers, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis (I) through open-market purchases; provided that (1) at the time of the commencement and conclusion of each open-market purchase, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (2) the Revolving Facility may not be utilized to consummate such repurchase, (3) any cancellation of Indebtedness income arising from such repurchase will not increase the calculation under this Agreement of consolidated EBITDA and (4) all such repurchased Term Loans will be automatically cancelled upon such repurchase, or (II) on the following basis:

-202-

(i) Term Loan Repurchase Auctions. The Borrowers may conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans; provided that (1) each Borrower delivers a notice of such Auction to the Auction Manager and the Term Loan Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Term Lenders) no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) at least five Business Days in advance of a proposed commencement date of such Auction, which notice shall specify (x) the dates on which such Auction will commence and conclude, (y) the maximum principal amount of the Term Loans that such Borrower desires to repurchase in such Auction and (z) the range of discounts to par at which such Borrower would be willing to repurchase the applicable Term Loans, (2) the maximum dollar amount of such Auction shall be no less than an aggregate $10,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof, (3) such Auction shall be open for at least two Business Days after the date of the commencement thereof, (4) such Auction shall be open for participation by all the applicable Term Lenders on a ratable basis, (5) an applicable Term Lender that elects to participate in such Auction will be permitted to tender for repurchase all or a portion of such Term Lender’s Term Loans, (6) each repurchase of Term Loans shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights of the assigning Term Lender hereunder with respect thereto, (7) at the time of the commencement and conclusion of such Auction, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (8) such Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Auction Manager may establish, so long as such procedures are consistent with this Section 11.2(i) and are reasonably acceptable to the Term Loan Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, (9) the Revolving Facility may not be utilized to consummate such repurchase, (10) any cancellation of Indebtedness income arising from such repurchase will not increase the calculation under this Agreement of consolidated EBITDA and (11) all such repurchased Term Loans will be automatically cancelled upon such repurchase. In connection with any Auction, the Auction Manager and the Term Loan Administrative Agent may request one or more certificates of a Responsible Officer of the Parent and the Borrowers as to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (7) above and in Section 11.2(i)(ii).¶

~~(ii) [Reserved]. ¶~~

(iii) Concerning the Repurchased Term Loans. Repurchases by the Borrowers of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 11.2(i) shall not constitute voluntary prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.6 or 2.9. Upon the repurchase by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.2(i) of any Term Loans, such Term Loans shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by the Borrowers) for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including with respect to (1) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Term Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (2) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (3) the determination of Requisite Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The

-203-

Term Loan Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Term Register to reflect any cancellation of the Term Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 11.2(i). Any payment made by the Borrowers in connection with a repurchase permitted by this Section 11.2(i) shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.15, Section 2.16(e) or Section 11.7. Failure by the Borrowers to make any payment to a Term Lender required to be made in consideration of a repurchase of Term Loans permitted by this Section 11.2(i) shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a). Each Term Lender shall, to the extent that its Term Loans shall have been repurchased and assigned to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.2(i), relinquish its rights in respect thereof. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 11.2(i), the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall not apply to any repurchase of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 11.2(i).

(d) ~~(c)~~ Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Parent and the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Parent and the Borrowers contained in this Section 11.3 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of any Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuer, the termination of this Agreement, the Revolving Commitments, LC Facility Commitments or Term Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations

Section 11.4 Indemnities

(a) The Parent and the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to and hereby do indemnify and hold harmless each Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, Arranger, Bookrunner, Co-Manager, Issuers, Swingline Lender and Lender (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~~each of the Agents, one firm of counsel for the Term Lenders and one firm of counsel for the 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 Borrowers 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 Loan 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 proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrowers 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

-206-

tribunal, (ii) a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee, as determined 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 Borrowers, 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 Borrowers, 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 any Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuer having become the successor in interest to the Parent, the Borrowers, or any of their respective Subsidiaries and (y) attributable solely to acts of such Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of such Administrative Agent, such Lender 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 Borrower shall and does hereby jointly and severally indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer for, and hold each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against any Agent, any Lender and any Issuer for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

-207-

(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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers of substantial rights and defenses that actually and materially prejudice the Parent or the Borrowers, and will not in any event relieve the Parent or the Borrowers from any other obligation or liability that the Parent or the Borrowers may have to any Indemnitee otherwise than in accordance with the provisions hereof. If the Parent or any Borrower so elects following its acknowledgment of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee, or if requested by such Indemnitee, the Parent or such Borrower 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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers, or if the Parent or the Borrowers 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 Borrowers will pay the reasonable and customary fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided, however, that the Parent and the Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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 Loan 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 Loan Document.

Section 11.5 Limitation of Liability

-208-

or willful misconduct. The Parent and each Borrower 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 Liquidity Lender 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 Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Parent or any Borrower against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Parent or such Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender 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 Lender shall exercise any right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.23 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

Section 11.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

Subject to Section 2.16(f):

(a) (i)(A) if any Term Lender obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) of the Term Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or other Obligations in respect of the Term Loans hereunder (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Term Lenders, except as a result of a refinancing of such Obligations or the repurchase of Term Loans pursuant to Section 11.2(i), such Term Lender (each, a “Purchasing Term Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Term Lenders (each, a “Selling Term Lender”) such participations in their Term Loans as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Term Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

If any Revolving Lender obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of

-209-

set-off or otherwise) of the Revolving Loans or Revolving Letter of Credit Obligations owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or other Revolving Obligations hereunder (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Revolving Lenders, except as a result of a refinancing of such Obligations, such Revolving Lender (each, a “Purchasing Revolving Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Revolving Lenders (each, a “Selling Revolving Lender”) such participations in their Revolving Loans and Revolving Letter of Credit Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Revolving Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

(C)

(ii) (A) Except as expressly provided otherwise with respect to Swing Loans and Defaulting Lenders, each Revolving Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Revolving Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Revolving Loans, each payment of the Revolving Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Revolving Commitments and each conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments (or, if Revolving Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective Revolving Exposure). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders at any time, each outstanding Swing Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders (including those Revolving Lenders which shall not have made Swing Loans) pro rata in accordance with such

-210-

respective Revolving Commitments. Each Revolving Lender agrees that in computing such Revolving Lender’s portion of any Revolving Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Revolving and LC Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Revolving Lender’s percentage of such Revolving Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

(B)

Each Term Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Term Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Term Loans, each reduction of the Term Commitments and each conversion of any Term Borrowing to or continuation of any Term Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Term Exposure.

(C)

Except as expressly provided otherwise with respect to Defaulting Lenders, each payment of the LC Facility Commitment Fees and each reduction of the LC Facility Commitments shall be allocated pro rata among the LC Facility Lenders in accordance with their respective LC Facility Commitments (or, if LC Facility 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 Lender is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each applicable Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment in relation to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.

(c) Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender 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 Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 9.2 for the benefit of all the Secured Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) any Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Issuers from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to their respective benefit (solely in their capacity as Issuers) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.6 (subject to the terms of Section 11.7), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Revolving and LC Administrative Agent, Term Loan Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Applicable Requisite Lenders under the applicable Senior Credit Facility shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Applicable Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.2 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) above and subject to Section 11.7, any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.

Each Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective Related Parties, to any insurance broker, and to any provider of credit protection (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and its obligations or (C) any Special Purpose Vehicle that is a grantee of any option described in Section 11.2(g) or to any pledgee referred to in Section 11.2(f) or (g) (other than a pledgee to which disclosure is permitted under clause (ii) above), (vii) with the consent of the Borrowers or (viii) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.18 or (y) becomes available to any Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent and its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.18 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each Administrative Agent, each Lender 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, each Administrative Agent, each Arranger, the Co-Manager and each Lender may disclose the existence of the Senior Credit Facilities and information about the Senior Credit Facilities to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service provides to each of the foregoing in connection with the Senior Credit Facilities and the other Loan Documents.

-217-

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, the Administrative Agents 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 Borrower in respect of any sum due from it to any Agent or Lender 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 Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Agent or Lender 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 Lender in the Original Currency, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Agent or Lender against such loss, and if the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Agent or Lender in the Original Currency, such Agent or Lender shall remit such excess to the Borrowers.

Section 11.20 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan 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 Loan 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 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 Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by each Administrative Agent, any Issuer or the Swing Loan Lender 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

-218-

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 Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 11.22 Interest Rate Limitation

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, to cash collateralize the Reimbursement Obligations, in either case in respect of the Facility for which such interest was paid, or if no such Reimbursement Obligations are outstanding, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Administrative Agent or a Lender 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.

Section 11.23 Obligations Joint and Several and Unconditional

The obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and each other Loan Document are joint and several and absolute and unconditional irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of any other Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (collectively, the “Other Borrower Obligations”), or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Other Borrower Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than a defense of payment or performance hereunder or thereunder), it being the intent of this Section 11.23 and this Agreement that the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances (other than to the extent already paid or performed hereunder or thereunder). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not affect the liability of any Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement referred to herein:

-219-

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

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Other Borrower Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Other Borrower Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Other Borrower 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, any Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Other Borrower Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

GUARANTY

Section 12.1 The Guaranty

The Parent hereby guarantees to each Secured Party as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Parent hereby further agrees that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Parent will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms thereof.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan 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 Loan 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.

Section 12.2 Obligations Unconditional

-220-

therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than defense of payment or satisfaction), it being the intent of this Section 12.2 that the obligations of the Parent hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. The Parent agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against either the Borrowers or any other Loan 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];

(c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents, the Other Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or

(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 Loan 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

-221-

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. The Parent acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Other Documents and that the Secured Parties may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 12.6 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee

(j) will not institute any suit or assert in any suit or Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding any claim against the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to, and neither the First Priority Agent nor any other First Priority Secured Party shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the First Priority Agent or other First Priority Secured Party with respect to any Collateral in a manner consistent with this Agreement.

Section 3.3 Rights as Unsecured Creditors.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Second Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to prosecute litigation against any Grantor or any other Person liable in respect of the Second Priority Claims, notwithstanding whether any Standstill Period is then in effect, but shall be prohibited from taking any action to enforce any judgment against the First Priority Collateral until the lapse of any applicable Standstill Period (including any tolling thereof). Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Second Priority Debt Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the enforcement or exercise by the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party of rights or remedies in contravention of this Agreement (including any right of setoff) against Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Second Priority Lien against Collateral (including any judgment lien resulting from the exercise of remedies available to an unsecured creditor; it being understood and agreed that any such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement).

All proceeds of any such policy and any such award, or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation, shall (a) first, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Claims and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Priority Debt Documents, be paid to the First Priority Agent for the benefit of First Priority Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the First Priority Debt Documents, (b) second, after the Discharge of First Priority Claims and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Second Priority Debt Documents, be paid to the Second Priority Agent for the benefit of the Second Priority Secured Parties for application pursuant to the terms of the Second Priority Debt Documents, and (c) third, be paid to the owner of the subject property or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

Section 3.6 Notification of Release of Collateral. Each of the First Priority Agent and the Second Priority Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give the other prompt written notice of the Disposition or Release by it of the Lien on any Collateral. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the subject Collateral, the parties involved in such Disposition or Release, the place, time manner and method thereof, and the consideration, if any, received therefor; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not in and of itself in any way impair the effectiveness of any such Disposition or Release.

any Pledged or Controlled Collateral or Single Lien Foreign Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors. The Second Priority Agent acting pursuant to this Article V shall not, by reason of this Agreement, any other Security Document or any other document, have a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Second Priority Secured Party, the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party.

(e) Any documents that would otherwise be required to be delivered by a Grantor under a Second Priority Security Document to the Second Priority Agent to perfect or assist in the enforcement of any Lien created under such Second Priority Security Document shall be deemed delivered to the Second Priority Agent on evidence provided to the Second Priority Agent that such Grantor has delivered the relevant documentation to the First Priority Agent in accordance with the First Priority Security Documents.

(a) Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that, in the event of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Second Priority Secured Parties:

(i) will not oppose or object (nor will they join with or support any other Person in opposing or objecting) to the use of any Collateral constituting cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, unless the First Priority Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the First Priority Secured Parties including the First Priority Agent, shall oppose or object to such use of cash collateral;

(ii) with respect to any post-petition financing, whether provided by the First Priority Secured Parties or any other Person, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (a “DIP Financing”), on any basis including without limitation to the extent that such DIP Financing “rolls-up” or otherwise includes or refinances any prepetition First Priority Claims, or to the Liens securing any DIP Financing (“DIP Financing Liens”), (A) will not oppose or object (nor will they join with or support any other Person in opposing or objecting) unless the First Priority Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the First Priority Secured Parties including the First Priority Agent, shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens, and, to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to, or rank pari passu with, the First Priority Liens, the Second Priority Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, subordinate the Second Priority Liens to each of the First Priority Liens and DIP Financing Liens on the terms of this Agreement, (B) will oppose and object to, at the instruction of the First Priority Secured Parties or a representative authorized by the First Priority Secured Parties, any DIP Financing that does not Refinance and “roll-up” to a priming, senior secured, superpriority administrative expense claim status the First Priority Obligations, and (C) will not propose any DIP Financing without the consent of the First Priority Parties;

(iii) except to the extent permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.1, in connection with the use of cash collateral as described in clause (i) above or any DIP Financing as described in clause (ii) above, will not request (nor will they join with or support any other Person in requesting) adequate protection with respect to any Collateral or any other relief in connection with such use of cash collateral, DIP Financing or DIP Financing Liens;

(iv) will not oppose or object (nor will they join with or support any other Person in opposing or objecting) to any Disposition of any Collateral free and clear of the Second Priority Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, if the First

(v) will not (i) oppose or object (nor will they join with or support any other Person in opposing or objecting) to the determination of the extent of any Liens held by any First Priority Secured Party or the value of any claims of any such holder under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) oppose or object (nor will they join with or support any other Person in opposing or objecting) to or contest the payment to the First Priority Secured Party of interest, fees or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) assert or enforce (nor will they join with or support any other Person in asserting or enforcing) any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the First Priority Liens for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.

(b) The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that no Second Priority Secured Party shall contest, or support any other Person in contesting, (i) any request by the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party for adequate protection in respect of any First Priority Claims or (ii) any objection, based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection with respect of any First Priority Claims, by the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if, in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, (A) any First Priority Secured Party seeks or requests adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional collateral, the Second Priority Agent may, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the First Priority Liens and DIP Financing Liens on the same basis as the other Second Priority Liens are subordinated to the First Priority Liens under this Agreement and no First Priority Secured Party may object to any such request or (B) any Second Priority Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional collateral, the First Priority Agent shall, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties, be granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral that is senior to such Second Priority Lien as security for the First Priority Claims.

(c) The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, waives any claim that may be had against the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party arising out of any DIP Financing Liens (granted in a manner that is not inconsistent with this Agreement) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Debt Document, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made that any Lien encumbering any Collateral is not enforceable for any reason, then the Second Priority Agent for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that, any distribution or recovery they may receive with respect to, or allocable to, the value of the assets constituting Collateral subject to an enforceable Lien in favor of the Second Priority Secured Parties or any proceeds thereof shall

(for so long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred) be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First Priority Agent for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties in the same form as received but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

Section 6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, without the prior written consent of the First Priority Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the First Priority Secured Parties including the First Priority Agent, no Second Priority Secured Party shall seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any part of the Collateral, any proceeds thereof or any Second Priority Lien.

Section 6.3 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of the First Priority Claims and the Second Priority Claims, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Priority Claims and on account of the Second Priority Claims, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

Section 6.4 Post-Petition Interest. (a) The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that no Second Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Priority Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the First Priority Liens (it being understood and agreed that such value shall be determined without regard to the existence of the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral).

(b) The First Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties, agrees that the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party may make a claim for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Priority Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Second Priority Liens; provided, however, that if the First Priority Secured Parties shall have made any such claim, such claim (A) shall have also have been approved or (B) will be approved contemporaneous with the approval of any such claim by any Second Priority Secured Party.

Section 6.7 Certain Voting Matters. Each of the First Priority Agent, on behalf of the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Agent on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that, without the prior written consent of the other, it will not seek to vote with the other as a single class in connection with any plan of reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that neither the Second Priority Agent nor any Second Priority Secured Party shall support or vote for any plan of reorganization or disclosure statement of any Company or any other Grantor unless (i) such plan is accepted by the class of First Priority Secured Parties in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise provides for the Discharge of First Priority Claims (including the payment of all post-petition interest, fees and expenses, whether or not allowed or available under the Bankruptcy Code) on the effective date of such plan of reorganization, or (ii) such plan provides on account of the First Priority Secured Parties for the retention by the First Priority Agent, for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties, of the Liens on the Collateral securing the First Priority Claims, and on all proceeds thereof, and such plan also provides that any Liens retained by, or granted to, the Second Priority Agent are only on property securing the Second Priority Claims and shall have the same relative priority with respect to the Collateral or other property, respectively, as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Collateral, and to the extent such plan provides for deferred cash payments, or for the distribution of any other property of any kind or nature, on account of the First Priority Claims or the Second Priority Claims, such plan provides that any such deferred cash payments or other distributions in respect of the Second Priority Claims shall be delivered to the First Priority Agent and distributed in accordance with the priorities provided in this Agreement. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Second Priority Secured Parties shall remain entitled to vote their Second Priority Claims in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

Section 6.8 Involuntary Bankruptcy Filing. Without the consent of the First Priority Agent in its sole discretion, the Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Party, agrees it will not file an involuntary bankruptcy claim or seek the appointment of an examiner or a trustee for any Borrower or any other Grantor.

Section 6.9 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification; Effectiveness in Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

(a) Each Second Priority Representative and each Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Creditors represented by it, and each First Lien Representative and each First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other First Lien Claimholder represented by it, acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens; and

(ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Second Priority Claims are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Lien Claimholders and the Second Priority Creditors in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Priority Creditors), the First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing (or that would be owing if there were such separate classes of senior and junior secured claims) in respect of Post-Petition Interest (including any additional interest payable pursuant to the First Lien Loan Documents, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Priority Creditors with respect to the Collateral, with each Second Priority Representative and each Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Creditors represented by it, herby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other First Lien Claimholder, Collateral or proceeds of Collateral otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Creditors).

(b) The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which will be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Grantor will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

ARTICLE VII

OTHER AGREEMENTS

Section 7.4 Reinstatement. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, all or part of any payment with respect to the First Priority Claims previously made shall be rescinded or otherwise required to be paid over to any Grantor or any Subsidiary for any reason whatsoever, then the First Priority Claims shall be reinstated to the extent of the amount so rescinded or paid and the Discharge of First Priority Claims is deemed not to have occurred for all purposes under this Agreement and, if theretofore terminated, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the Lien priorities and the relative rights and obligations of the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties provided for herein.

Section 2.7 Letters of Credit Generally

(a) None of the Participants (other than the Issuers in their capacity as such and on the terms and conditions hereof) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit.

(b) In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit be later than the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months from the date of Issuance thereof or such later date as the applicable Issuer may agree in its sole discretion and (ii) the fifth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date or, with the approval of the applicable Issuer in its sole discretion, any date that is after the fifth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date (including after the Maturity Date); provided, however, that, if the applicable Issuer agrees in its sole discretion, any Letter of Credit with a fixed term may provide for the auto-renewal thereof for additional periods of not more than 12 months each (each, an “Auto-Renewal LC”); provided, further, that any such Auto-Renewal LC must permit the applicable Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each 12 month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof. If (A) any Issuance or renewal of a Letter of Credit occurs during the 12 month period prior to the Maturity Date or (B) the Parent requests (and the applicable Issuer approves) the Issuance of a Letter of Credit that expires after the fifth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, then on or before the date that is 95 days prior to the Maturity Date (or on the date of such Issuance, if the date of such Issuance is later than the 95th day prior to the Maturity Date), the Applicants shall make arrangements acceptable to the relevant Issuer in respect of the amount of each such Letter of Credit that expires after the fifth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date (each such Letter of Credit with regard to which acceptable arrangements have been so made, an “Extended Letter of Credit”). Each Extended Letter of Credit shall, on the Maturity Date and if all Reimbursement Obligations have been repaid in full, for all purposes cease to be a Letter of Credit hereunder and the obligations (if any) of the Participants to fund or risk participate their Ratable Portions of such Extended Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (i) below shall be terminated on the Maturity Date. After the Maturity Date and the repayment in full of all Reimbursement Obligations, the terms for release of such cash collateral shall be as agreed from time to time between the Parent and the applicable Issuer; provided that in the absence of such agreement between the Parent and such Issuer, the terms of this Agreement shall, as among the Parent, the Applicants and such Issuer, continue to govern the fees, costs and expenses payable in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit.

(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

Such notice shall be irrevocable on and after the Issuance of such Letter of Credit (and, prior to such Issuance, may be revoked only with the consent of the Issuer) and shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day), and the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Unless the relevant Issuer and Administrative Agent otherwise agree, such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the third Business Day prior to the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(d) Subject to (x) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.7 and (y) receipt from the Administrative Agent, if requested by the Issuer, of the total outstanding amount of Reimbursement Obligations at such time and any fees and expenses related to Letters of Credit that are due and payable at such time (including the amount of any outstanding requests for Issuance), the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Applicants in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Participant that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.3 shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. 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. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

(f) Each Issuer shall:

(i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, which writing may be a telecopy or, if consented to by the Administrative Agent, electronic mail) of the Issuance or renewal of a Letter of Credit issued by it, of all drawings under a Letter of Credit issued by it, the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the Applicants of any Reimbursement Obligation and of the cancellation, termination or expiration of any Letter of Credit (of which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Participant under the LC Facility);

-58-

(ii) upon the request of any Participant, furnish to such Participant copies of any Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant; and

(iii) no later than five Business Days following the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Participant requesting the same) and the Applicants a schedule of Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at the end of each calendar quarter and any information requested by the Applicants or the Administrative Agent relating thereto.

(g) [reserved].

(h) [reserved].

(i) The Applicants jointly and severally agree to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer in respect of any Letter of Credit in Dollars (based on the Dollar Equivalent of such payment if such payment was made in an Alternative Currency) no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after the Applicants receive notice from such Issuer (or, if such notice is not received prior to 11:00 A.M. (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.

-59-

(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;

(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;

(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

-60-

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 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.

(l) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency and each obligation due with respect thereto, and a determination thereof by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Dollar Equivalent of each Reimbursement Obligation with respect to a drawn Letter of Credit shall be calculated on the date the relevant Issuer pays the draw giving rise to such Reimbursement Obligation. The Administrative Agent shall determine or redetermine the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of each Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, as applicable, on the date of each Issuance of such Letter of Credit and at any time, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. The Administrative Agent may determine or redetermine the Dollar Equivalent of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency at any time upon request of any Participant or Issuer.

(m) Each respective Issuer shall furnish the Administrative Agent with (i) a copy of each Letter of Credit Issued by such Issuer promptly upon the Issuance or renewal of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a copy of any amendment to such Letter of Credit promptly upon the effectiveness of such amendment.

-61-

(n) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Issuer shall be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit if any Participant is at that time a Defaulting Participant, unless such Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to such Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Applicants to eliminate such Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Participant arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be Issued or that Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Obligations, as applicable, as to which such Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuer and the applicable Applicant when a Letter of Credit is Issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

Section 2.8 Reduction and Termination of the Commitments

(a) The Applicants may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000.00 and (ii) each such reduction shall be made ratably in accordance with each Participant’s Commitment. A notice of termination of the Commitments may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other financing transactions, and if any notice so states it may be revoked by the applicable Applicant by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified for the termination of the Commitments that the refinancing condition has not been met and the termination is to be revoked.

Section 2.9 Repayment of Reimbursement Obligations

(a) The Applicants promise to repay (in cash, in full and in immediately available funds) the entire unpaid principal amount of the Reimbursement Obligations on the Maturity Date (it being understood that other provisions of this Agreement may require all or part of such Obligations to be repaid earlier).

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Change in Law.

Section 2.18 Capital Adequacy

If at any time any Participant or any Issuer determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Participant’s or such Issuer’s (or any Person controlling such Participant’s or such Issuer’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Participant or such Issuer or Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law, then, upon demand from time to time by such Participant or such Issuer, the Applicants shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Participant or such Issuer, from time to time as specified by such Participant or such Issuer, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Participant or such Issuer for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand and a calculation for such amount shall be submitted to the Applicants and the Administrative Agent by such Participant or the applicable Issuer and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error; provided that no such certificate need disclose any information that is sensitive, confidential or legally restricted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent, if any, the change (or compliance) referred to in any such certificate shall be retroactive, the Applicants shall not be required to compensate a Participant or the applicable Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.18 for any reduction in rates of return with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the date of each such certificate.

If a Withholding Agent shall be required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of such Withholding Agent) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any such payment to any Participant or the Administrative Agent then, (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deductions or withholdings, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted by it to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (in case the applicable Withholding Agent is a Credit Party) or to the Applicants (in case the applicable Withholding Agent is the Administrative Agent) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Applicants (as applicable) within 30 days after such payment

-69-

is made. In addition, in the case of any Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) that are, in either case, (i) deducted or withheld by a Withholding Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and (ii) not an Excluded Tax, the sum payable by the Applicants under the applicable Credit Document shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions or withholdings for such Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.19) such Participant or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b) In addition, the Applicants shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority any stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes (including any interest, additions to Tax or penalties applicable thereto), in each case arising from any payment made under any Credit Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Credit Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.20) (“Other Taxes”) or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of Other Taxes.

(c) The Applicants hereby agree to indemnify, jointly and severally, the Administrative Agent, each Issuer and each Participant, for the full amount of Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) imposed on or with respect to a payment made by or on account of an obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.19(c)) deducted or withheld by the Applicants or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Participant and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 10 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Participant makes demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Applicants by a Participant or the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Participant or any other Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Applicants hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the parties contained in this Section 2.19 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Participant, the termination of this Agreement, the Commitments and the repayment, and the satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations.

(e)(i) Any Participant (including, solely for this purpose, the Administrative Agent and the Issuer) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver, to the Applicants and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Applicants or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Applicants or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.

-70-

In addition, any Participant, if reasonably requested by the Applicants or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Applicants or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Applicants or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Participant is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in sub-clause (ii)(A), (B) or (D) below) shall not be required if in the Participant’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Participant to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Participant.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that an Applicant is a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code,

(A)

any Participant that is a United States Person shall deliver to the Applicants and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Participant becomes a Participant under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Applicants or the Administrative Agent), properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Participant is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B)

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

(4)

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

(C)

any non-U.S. Participant shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Applicants and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such non-U.S. Participant becomes a Participant under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Applicants or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a

-72-

reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Applicants or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(D)

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

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

(f) If any Participant, Issuer or the Administrative Agent receives a refund (or a credit claimed in lieu of a refund) in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has received a payment from or has been indemnified by a Credit Party pursuant to this Section 2.19 or a similar provision of any Credit Document, which refund or credit in solely the good faith judgment of such Participant or Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment or indemnification made by the Credit Party or the associated Tax or Other Tax, it shall notify the Applicants of such receipt and shall, within 30 days after the later of the receipt of a written request by the Applicants or the receipt or application of such refund or credit (unless such Participant reasonably expects that it shall be required to repay such refund or credit to the relevant Governmental Authority), pay the amount of such refund or credit to the Applicants, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Participant and Taxes imposed on the Participant or Issuer or Administrative Agent with respect to such amounts, without interest thereon and subject to

-73-

Section 11.6; provided, however, that the Applicants jointly and severally agree to return such refund or credit paid by the Participant, Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Participant or Issuer or the Administrative Agent within 30 days after receipt of written notice in the event that such Participant or Issuer or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund or credit to the relevant Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will a Participant or Issuer or the Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to any Credit Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Participant or Issuer or the Administrative Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Participant or Issuer or the Administrative Agent would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund or credit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing contained in this Section 2.19 shall require any Participant or the Administrative Agent to make available to any Credit Party any Tax Return or any other document containing information that it deems to be confidential.

Section 2.20 Substitution of Participants

If (a)(i) any Participant makes a claim under Section 2.17(c) or 2.18, (ii) [reserved], (iii) the Applicants are required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.19 that is attributable to a particular Participant, or (iv) any Participant becomes a Defaulting Participant, (b) [reserved], and (c) in the case of clause (a)(i) above, Participants holding at least 75% of the Commitments are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Participant, an “Affected Participant”), the Applicants may, at Applicants’ sole effort and expense, substitute another financial institution for such Affected Participant hereunder, upon reasonable prior written notice (which written notice must be given within 90 days following the notification to the Applicants of any applicable event described in clauses (a)(i), (iii) or (iv) above) by the Applicants to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Participant that the Applicants intend to make such substitution. A substitute financial institution (x) must be an Eligible Assignee and (y) if not already a Participant in respect of the LC Facility, must be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Issuer (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that, if more than one Participant claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Applicants within 30 days of each other, then the Applicants may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Applicants have already substituted one of such Affected Participants before the Applicants’ receipt of the other Affected Participants’ claim) less than all, Participants making such claims. 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

-74-

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 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).

grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative 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 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).

-76-

(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;

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.

-77-

(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.

(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.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuers shall have approved the New Incremental Commitments allocated to each Participant thereunder (such approval (other than with respect to Barclays, in its capacity as an Issuer, which shall be in Barclays’ sole discretion as an Issuer) not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), including with respect to the New Incremental Commitments allocated to each existing Participant providing a New Incremental Commitment and each New Participant.

(e) On the Increased Amount Date, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the existing Participants shall assign to each of the New Participants, and each of the New Participants shall purchase from each of the existing Participants, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Letter of Credit Obligations will be held by existing Participants and New Participants ratably in accordance with their Commitments after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Facility, (ii) each New Incremental Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Commitment, (iii) each New Participant shall become a Participant with respect to its New Incremental Commitment and all matters relating thereto and all other matters under this Agreement, and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants (including any New Participants) of the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility and each Participant’s interests in the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations after giving effect to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.24.

~~Section 2.25 ~~Extension Offers~~~~¶

(a) The Applicants may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, an “~~Extension Offer~~”) to all the Participants in respect of any tranche under this LC Facility, on the same terms and conditions to each such Participant, to make one or more Extension Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Applicants.

-137-

whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Issuer or any of their respective Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuer under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents; provided, however, that no Participant shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s or such Issuer’s or such Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Participant an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax.

If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Participants and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Participants and

-138-

the Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Applicants and the Participants that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of or for the benefit of the Participants or the Issuers under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security and the rights and obligations under the Parallel Debt until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and all rights and obligations of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Parallel Debt have been assigned and assumed by such successor Administrative Agent) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Parallel Debt) shall instead be made by or to each applicable Participant and each applicable Issuer directly, until such time as the Requisite Participants appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties (including all rights and obligations with respect to the Parallel Debt) of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph).

-150-

Commitments of, and Reimbursement Obligations owing to, each Participant and Issuer pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). 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. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Participant as a Defaulting Participant. 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 to deal solely and directly with such Participant in connection with such Participant’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

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

-151-

(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. To the extent permitted by law, each Sub-Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.6 as though it were a Participant, provided such Sub-Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.7 as though it were a Participant.

(e) Limitations upon Sub-Participant Rights. 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.

(f) Certain Pledges. 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.

The Applicants also agree upon demand to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by an Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless an Event of Default exists, the Applicants shall not be responsible for any fees and expenses under this clause (a) for any advisors, consultants or other third party service providers engaged by

-153-

any of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Bookrunners and the Issuers or any of their respective Affiliates unless the Applicants shall have approved such engagement of such advisor, consultant or other third party advisor in writing prior to such engagement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, further, that the Applicants shall not have any obligation under clause (vi) hereunder in connection with any action brought by one Secured Party against another Secured Party (except in its capacity as an Agent, if applicable).

(b) The Parent and the Applicants further jointly and severally agree to pay or reimburse each Agent and each of the Participants and Issuers upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of settlement, but excluding in-house counsel and limited to the reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of the Collateral Agent’s counsel, Bracewell LLP, the Administrative Agent’s counsel, Latham & Watkins LLP and one firm of local legal counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), incurred by such Agent, such Participants or Issuers in connection with any of the following: (i) in enforcing any Credit Document or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default, (ii) following the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, any Credit Party, any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Credit Document or (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above; provided, however, that the Applicant shall not have any obligation under clause (iii) hereunder in connection with any action brought by one Secured Party against another Secured Party (except in its capacity as an Agent, if applicable).

(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

-154-

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 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

-155-

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.

(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

-156-

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 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

-157-

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.

Subject to Section 2.16(f):

(a) (i) (A) [reserved].

(B)

(C)

(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.

-158-

(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.

No failure on the part of any Participant, any Issuer, any Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

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, the 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.

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 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.

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

-165-

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.

Section 11.23 Obligations Joint and Several and Unconditional

The obligations of each Applicant under this Agreement and each other Credit Document are joint and several and absolute and unconditional irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of any other Applicant under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (collectively, the “Other Applicant Obligations”), or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Other Applicant Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than a defense of payment or performance hereunder or thereunder), it being the intent of this Section 11.23 and this Agreement that the obligations of each Applicant under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances (other than to the extent already paid or performed hereunder or thereunder). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not affect the liability of any Applicant under this Agreement or any other agreement referred to herein:

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

-166-

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(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. ¶

Section 11.24 Acknowledgment Regarding any Supported QFCs¶

To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for secured hedge agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):¶

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the

-167-

U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Participant shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.¶

(b) As used in this Section 11.24, the following terms have the following meanings:¶

“BHC Act Affiliate” means an “affiliate” as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k) of such party.¶

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).¶

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.¶

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).¶

ARTICLE XII

GUARANTY

Section 12.1 The Guaranty

The Parent hereby guarantees to each Secured Party as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Parent hereby further agrees that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Parent will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms thereof.

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.

-168-

Section 12.2 Obligations Unconditional

The obligations of the Parent under Section 12.1 are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents, the Other Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than defense of payment or satisfaction), it being the intent of this Section 12.2 that the obligations of the Parent hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. 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:

(b) [Reserved];

(c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Credit Documents, the Other Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or

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.

-169-

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

Section 12.6 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee

The guarantee in this Article XII is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.
