Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Overview
On May 4, 2016, Weatherford International Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Weatherford Bermuda”), as borrower, and Weatherford International plc, an Irish public limited company (“Weatherford Ireland”), as guarantor, entered into (1) an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“A&R Credit Agreement”) among Weatherford Bermuda, Weatherford Ireland, certain subsidiaries of Weatherford Ireland, the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, lender and swingline lender, in the amount of $1.38 billion and (2) a Term Loan Agreement (“Term Loan Agreement” and together with the A&R Credit Agreement, “New Credit Agreements”) among Weatherford Bermuda, Weatherford Ireland, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and lender, in the amount of $500 million. The A&R Credit Agreement was entered into pursuant to an Amendment and Restatement Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2016 (the “A&R Agreement”), by and among Weatherford Ireland, Weatherford Bermuda, Weatherford International, LLC, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The A&R Agreement contained various conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the A&R Credit Agreement prior to the initial borrowing under the New Credit Agreements. These conditions were satisfied on May 9, 2016.
Maturity
For lenders that agreed to extend their revolving commitments (such lenders, representing $1.15 billion, the “extending lenders”), the A&R Credit Agreement matures on July 12, 2019, subject to an earlier maturity of November 28, 2018 if, under certain circumstances, Weatherford Bermuda has not voluntarily redeemed, repurchased, refinanced or otherwise retired at least $500 million of its 2019 senior notes prior to November 28, 2018. For lenders that have not agreed to extend their revolving commitments (such lenders, representing $229 million, the “non-extending lenders”), the A&R Credit Agreement matures on July 13, 2017. The Term Loan Agreement matures on July 13, 2020.
Interest

Loans under the New Credit Agreements are subject to varying rates of interest based on whether the loan is a Eurodollar loan or an alternate base rate loan.

Eurodollar Loans . Eurodollar loans bear interest at the Eurodollar rate, which is LIBOR, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for Eurodollar loans under the A&R Credit Agreement depends on whether the lender is an extending lender or a non-extending lender. For non-extending lenders, the applicable margin under the A&R Credit Agreement ranges from 0.75% to 1.925% depending on the credit rating of Weatherford Bermuda, and for extending lenders under the A&R Credit Agreement the applicable margin ranges from 1.925% to 3.7% depending on the Specified Senior Leverage Ratio (as described below). The applicable margin for Eurodollar loans under the Term Loan Agreement ranges from 1.425% to 3.2% depending on the Specified Senior Leverage Ratio.

Alternate Base Rate Loans . Alternate base rate loans bear interest at the alternate base rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for alternate base rate loans under the A&R Credit Agreement depends on whether the lender is an extending lender or a non-extending lender. For non-extending lenders, the applicable margin under the A&R Credit Agreement ranges from 0.0% to 0.925% depending on the credit rating of Weatherford Bermuda, and for extending lenders the applicable margin under the A&R Credit Agreement ranges from 0.925% to 2.7% depending on the Specified Senior Leverage Ratio. The applicable margin for alternate base rate loans under the Term Loan Agreement ranges from 0.425% to 2.2% depending on the Specified Senior Leverage Ratio.

Guarantees and Security

Obligations under the Term Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of Weatherford Ireland’s assets, including the equity and assets of a material portion of its subsidiaries. Accordingly, certain subsidiaries of Weatherford Ireland entered into pledge and security agreements including a U.S. Pledge and Security Agreement (“U.S. Pledge and Security Agreement”), dated as of May 9, 2016, by and among the subsidiary parties thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent of the Term Loan Agreement, pursuant to which certain U.S. subsidiaries granted to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., on behalf of the lenders, a security interest in substantially all of their assets.

In addition, obligations under the New Credit Agreements are guaranteed by Weatherford Ireland and a material portion of its subsidiaries pursuant to (i) a Guaranty Agreement (“A&R Guaranty”), dated as of May 9, 2016, by Weatherford Ireland and





certain subsidiary parties thereto, as guarantors, in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent of the A&R Credit Agreement and (ii) a Guaranty Agreement (“Term Loan Guaranty” and, together with the A&R Guaranty, the “Guarantees”), dated as of May 9, 2016, by Weatherford Ireland and certain subsidiary parties thereto, as guarantors, in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent of the Term Loan Agreement.

3.

COMMITMENTS; LOANS

SECTION 2.01 Revolving Credit Loans .

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make loans to the Borrowers (each such loan, a “ Revolving Credit Loan ”) denominated in Dollars, from time to time during the Availability Period applicable to such Lender in an aggregate principal amount that shall not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment or (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans.

(b)    Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Credit Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Revolving Credit Loans as required. Prior to the Existing Maturity Date, Revolving Credit Loans shall be made by both Extending Lenders and Non-Extending Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. Revolving Credit Loans made on or after the Existing Maturity Date shall be made by Extending Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (after giving effect to the termination of the Non-Extended Commitments (and, if applicable, Extended Commitments), and to the repayment of any Revolving Credit Loans and the reallocation of participation interests in Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Loans in the manner contemplated by Section 2.06(a) on such date).

(c)    Subject to Section 2.11 , each Borrowing (other than any Swingline Borrowing) shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as a Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the joint and several obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Revolving Loans made by both Extending Lenders and Non-Extending Lenders shall be deemed to constitute a single Borrowing having the same Interest Period.
 
(d)    At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of

49


$1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such ABR Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Aggregate Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 3.01(e) . Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

(e)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Extended Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.02 Requests for Borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans . To request a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders) of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:30 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 3.01(e) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in .pdf format) to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower requesting the Borrowing. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01 :
  
(i) the aggregate principal amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) the location and number of the account of the requesting Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04 .

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the requesting Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

50


SECTION 2.03 Swingline Loans .

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Swingline Lender may in its sole discretion, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03 , make loans (each such loan, a “ Swingline Loan ”), denominated in Dollars, to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period applicable to Extending Lenders in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Sublimit; provided that after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, (i) such Swingline Loan, when aggregated with the Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lender acting as such Swingline Lender, shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (iii) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments; and provided further that a Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Subject to Section 2.03(c)(ii) , each Swingline Loan shall bear interest at a rate that is mutually agreeable to the applicable Swingline Lender and the applicable Borrower at the time such Borrower delivers a Swingline Borrowing Request for a Swingline Loan to such Swingline Lender (the “ Agreed Swingline Rate ”). Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage multiplied by the amount of such Swingline Loan.

(b)    To request a Swingline Borrowing, a Borrower shall notify the applicable Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Borrowing. Each such telephonic Swingline Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in .pdf format) to the applicable Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swingline Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower requesting the Swingline Borrowing. Each such telephonic and written Swingline Borrowing Request shall specify (i) the requested date of such Swingline Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (ii) the amount of the requested Swingline Borrowing, which shall be an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Upon receiving a Swingline Borrowing Request, the applicable Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, either reject such request or agree to make such Swingline Loan, it being understood that no Swingline Lender shall be under any obligation to make any Swingline Loan to any Borrower at any time. If a Swingline Lender agrees to make a Swingline Loan to any Borrower, it shall make such Swingline Loan available to such Borrower by means of a credit (if JPMorgan is the applicable Swingline Lender) to the general deposit account of such Borrower with the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 3.01(e) , by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Borrowing.

(c)    (i)      Any Swingline Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorize such Swingline Lender to so request on their behalf), that each Lender make an ABR

51


Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender then outstanding. Any such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Request for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02 (without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.01 for the principal amount of ABR Borrowings) and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 . The applicable Swingline Lender shall furnish the Borrowers with a copy of the applicable Borrowing Request promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Borrowing Request available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day specified in such Borrowing Request, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, whereupon, subject to Section 2.03(c)(ii) , each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Swingline Lender.

(ii)    If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(i) , the request for ABR Loans submitted by a Swingline Lender as set forth in Section 2.03(c)(i) shall be deemed to be a request by such Swingline Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each such Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. From and after the date when the Lenders are required to make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender for the purpose of funding the Lenders’ risk participations in any Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender, such Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Credit Borrowings as provided in Section 2.10(a) rather than the applicable Agreed Swingline Rate.

(iii)    If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(i) , then such Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount, the amount so paid (excluding the interest and fees referred to in the immediately preceding sentence) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable Swingline Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent), with

52


respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)    Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the applicable Swingline Lender, the applicable Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans (but not fund risk participations) pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 . Funding of risk participations in accordance with this Section shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Borrower to repay Swingline Loans made to it, together with interest as provided herein.

(v)    For the avoidance of doubt no Non-Extending Lender shall have any Swingline Exposure with respect to any Swingline Loan made on or after the Existing Maturity Date.

(d)    (i)     At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if the applicable Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, such Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by such Swingline Lender.

(ii)    If any payment received by the applicable Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by such Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.19 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to such Swingline Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the applicable Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)    Each Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the applicable Borrower for interest on the Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender to such Borrower. Until each Lender funds its ABR Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.03 with respect to any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender.

(f)    Each Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of each Swingline Loan made to it by any Swingline Lender directly to such Swingline Lender in accordance with Section 2.07 .

53


SECTION 2.04 Funding of Borrowings .

(a)    Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) by 12:00 noon, New York City time, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) by 1:30 p.m., New York City time, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of ABR Loans, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.03 . The Administrative Agent shall make such Loans available to the requesting Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received in like funds to an account of such Borrower designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that an ABR Borrowing made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 3.01(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Loans, prior to 12:30 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender shall not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such ratable portion available on such date in accordance with paragraph  (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the requesting Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the Borrowers, jointly and severally, and the applicable Lender severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the requesting Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

(c)    (i) With respect to any Borrower that is not organized under the laws of any jurisdiction of the United States, any Lender may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and WIL-Ireland, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of such Borrower; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the joint and several obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans made to such Borrower and to reimburse LC Disbursements made under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii)      As a condition to any Lender being permitted to fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of any Borrower under Section 2.04(c)(i) , such Affiliate must comply with Sections 4.02(c) and 4.02(e) as if it were a Lender that became a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed on the first date on which such Commitment is being fulfilled by such Affiliate. Additionally, in applying the provisions of Section 4.02

54


and the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, such Affiliate shall be treated as a Lender that executed an Assignment and Assumption on the first date on which such Commitment is fulfilled by such Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, an Affiliate acting as a Lender under Section 2.04(c)(i) shall not be entitled to any greater gross-up or indemnity under Section 4.02 than that to which the applicable Lender would have been entitled had such Affiliate not acted as a Lender under Section 2.04(c)(i) ; provided if an Affiliate is acting as a Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) solely as a result of a Lender being unable to fulfill its Commitment to any applicable Borrower due to a Requirement of Law, such Affiliate shall be entitled to a gross-up or indemnification to the same extent that would have resulted had such Lender made an assignment to such Affiliate under Section 11.05 . Moreover, nothing in this Section 2.04(c) shall be construed as making an Affiliate of any Lender a beneficial owner of payments received as a result of such Affiliate’s fulfillment of such Lender’s Commitment to the extent the arrangement between such Lender and such Affiliate is one whereby such Affiliate is merely acting as an agent for such Lender.
SECTION 2.05 Interest Elections .

(a)    Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.02 . Thereafter, a Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided that, in connection with any such election, such Borrower shall be subject to all applicable payment obligations set forth in Section 2.13 . A Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.02 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in .pdf form) to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by such Borrower.
(c)    Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02 :

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

55


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

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

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

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower making such Interest Election Request shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)    If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrowers, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (1) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (2) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.06 Termination and Reduction of Commitments .

(a)     Termination of Non-Extended Commitments on the Existing Maturity Date .

(i)    On the Existing Maturity Date, (if the Commitments have not been terminated in full earlier in accordance with the terms hereof), (x) the Borrowers shall pay to each Non-Extending Lender all amounts then payable to such Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement (including any amounts required by Section 2.13 ) and (y) such Non-Extending Lender’s Non-Extended Commitment (and, in the case of a Non-Extending Lender that is an Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment) shall automatically terminate.
 
(ii)    On the Existing Maturity Date, immediately after giving effect to Section 2.06(a)(i) , the Administrative Agent shall administer the reallocation of Applicable Percentages of the Aggregate Commitments and any obligation to participate in Swingline Loans and any Carry-Over LC Exposure ratably among the Extending Lenders, provided that such reallocation shall only be made to the extent such reallocation does not result in an Extending Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Extending Lender’s Commitment (and, if such reallocation cannot, or can


56


only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, on the Existing Maturity Date, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Banks, the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to the Carry-Over LC Exposure associated with each Carry-Over Letter of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.01(j)(i) (and the cash so deposited shall be held, invested and applied by such Issuing Bank in a manner consistent with the investment and other procedures described in Section 3.01(j) )) until the earlier of (1) the expiration and termination of such Carry-Over Letter of Credit or (2) the first Business Day after the Existing Maturity Date on which all Carry-Over LC Exposure in connection with such Carry-Over Letter of Credit shall have been fully reallocated.

(iii)    The Borrowers hereby agree to compensate the Lenders for all losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by any Lender (if any) in connection with the sale or assignment of any Eurodollar Loan resulting from such reallocation on the terms and in the manner set forth in Section 2.13 .

(b)     Reduction of Extended Commitments . Until the Aggregate Commitments have been permanently reduced (and only to the extent necessary to cause the Aggregate Commitments to be permanently reduced) to $1,000,000,000, the Extending Lenders’ Commitments shall be permanently reduced ratably among the Extending Lenders in accordance with their respective Extended Commitments (i) on the Existing Maturity Date (after giving effect to the termination of the Non-Extending Lenders’ Commitments pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and the accompanying repayments of Obligations) by an aggregate amount equal to $57,550,000.00 and (ii) on July 13, 2018 by an aggregate amount equal to $115,100,000.00; provided that on the date of any reduction of the Extending Lenders’ Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) the Borrowers shall first be required to prepay the Extending Lenders’ Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.08(d) .

(c)     Reduction of Aggregate Commitments in connection with Certain Asset Sales . Until the Aggregate Commitments have been permanently reduced (and only to the extent necessary to cause the Aggregate Commitments to be permanently reduced) to $1,000,000,000, the Lenders’ Commitments shall be permanently reduced ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments immediately upon the receipt of Net Proceeds by WIL-Ireland or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with a Specified Asset Sale by an aggregate amount equal to (i) with respect to the Land Rig Sale, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by WIL-Ireland and its Restricted Subsidiaries from such sale and (ii) with respect to any Specified Asset Sale other than the Land Rig Sale (A) consummated prior to the Existing Maturity Date, 75% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by WIL-Ireland and its Restricted Subsidiaries from such sale and (B) consummated on or after the Existing Maturity Date, 75% of the Net Proceeds received by WIL-Ireland and its Restricted Subsidiaries from such sale; provided that, in any calendar year, the Lenders’ Commitments shall be reduced pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(ii) only to the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds received by WIL-Ireland and its Restricted Subsidiaries from the consummation of Specified Asset Sales in such calendar year exceeds $20,000,000.


57


(d)     Termination of Extended Commitments on the Extended Maturity Date . Unless previously terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, the Extended Commitments shall terminate on the Extended Maturity Date.

(e)     Voluntary Reduction of Commitments .
 
(i)    At their option, the Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments, provided that (A) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (B) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.08 , the Total Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Commitments.

(ii)    The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.06(e)(i) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of a securities offering, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, each reduction of Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments.

SECTION 2.07     Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt .

(a)    The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally and unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Non-Extending Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender on the Existing Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Extending Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender on the Extended Maturity Date.

(b)    The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally and unconditionally promise to pay to each Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender on the earlier of the Extended Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that (i) on each date that a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the then unpaid principal amount of all Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the Existing Maturity Date.


58


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

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

(e)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.07(c) or Section 2.07(d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f)    After the Effective Date, any Lender by written notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note or Swingline Note, as applicable, payable, jointly and severally, to the order of such Lender and its permitted assigns. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.05 ) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of such Lender and its permitted assigns.

SECTION 2.08 Prepayment of Loans .

(a)    Subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.08(b) , the Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to any amounts payable under Section 2.13 ).

(b)    A Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender) by telephone (promptly confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic transmission (in .pdf format)) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:30 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the same Business Day as the date of prepayment, or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the same Business Day as the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of a securities offering (or any combination thereof), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not


59


satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02 or in the case of an advance of a Swingline Borrowing as provided in Section 2.03 , as applicable. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10 .

(d)    If after giving effect to any reduction of the Extending Lenders’ Extended Commitments pursuant to Section 2.06(b) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Commitments, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall immediately (i) prepay the principal amount of the Extending Lenders’ Revolving Credit Loans ratably among the Extending Lenders in accordance with their respective Extended Commitments in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the Total Revolving Credit Exposure to be less than or equal to the Aggregate Commitments and (ii) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Loans as a result of LC Exposures, cash collateralize LC Exposures in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.01(j)(i) in an amount equal to such excess.

(e)    If after giving effect to any reduction of the Lenders’ Commitments pursuant to Section 2.06(c) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Commitments, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall immediately (i) prepay the principal amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Loans ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the Total Revolving Credit Exposure to be less than or equal to the Aggregate Commitments and (ii) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Loans as a result of LC Exposures, cash collateralize LC Exposures in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.01(j)(i) in an amount equal to such excess.

SECTION 2.09 Fees .

(a)    The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue (i) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates, at the Facility Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused), and (ii) to the extent any Lender has any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, at the Facility Fee Rate on the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender during the period from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, on the Existing Maturity Date (in the case

All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears in Dollars on the third Business Day after such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable to the Non-Extending Lenders on the Existing Maturity Date, to the Extending Lenders on the Extended Maturity Date and to all Lenders on any other date on which the aggregate Commitments terminate, and any such fees accruing after the date on which the aggregate Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable in Dollars within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The amount of participation and fronting fees payable hereunder shall be set forth in a written invoice or other notice delivered

61


to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent or, in the case of fronting fees, by the applicable Issuing Bank.
(c)    The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between WIL-Bermuda and the Administrative Agent.

(d)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to any Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for ratable distribution, in the case of facility fees, utilization fees and participation fees to the extent described in this Section 2.09 , to the applicable Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account).

SECTION 2.10 Interest .

(a)    The Loans comprising each ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

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

(c)    Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the rates specified in Section 2.03 .

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.000% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Sections 2.10(a) , 2.10(b) and 2.10(c) or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.000% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Credit Borrowings as provided in Section 2.10(a) .

(e)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.10(d) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Credit Loan to a Lender prior to the end of the Availability Period applicable to such Lender), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f)    All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base

62


Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, and such determination shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.

(g)    The interest rates provided for in this Agreement with respect to any Swiss Obligor, including this Section 2.10 , are minimum interest rates. When entering into this Agreement, the parties have assumed that the interest payable at the rates set out in this Section 2.10 or in other Sections of this Agreement is not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding Tax. Notwithstanding that the parties do not anticipate that any payment of interest will be subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, they agree that, in the event that Swiss Withholding Tax is imposed on interest payments, the payment of interest due by a Swiss Obligor shall, in line with and subject to Section 4.02 , including any limitations therein and any obligations thereunder, be increased to an amount which (after making any deduction of the Non-Refundable Portion (as defined below) of the Swiss Withholding Tax) results in a payment to each Lender entitled to such payment of an amount equal to the payment which would have been due had no deduction of the Swiss Withholding Tax been required. For this purpose, the Swiss Withholding Tax shall be calculated on the full grossed-up interest amount. For the purposes of this Section, “Non-Refundable Portion” shall mean the Swiss Withholding Tax at the standard rate (being, as at the date hereof, 35%) unless a tax ruling issued by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirms that, in relation to a specific Lender based on an applicable double tax treaty, the Non-Refundable Portion is a specified lower rate, in which case such lower rate shall be applied in relation to such Lender. The Lenders shall provide to the Swiss Obligors all reasonably requested information, and otherwise reasonably cooperate, to obtain such Swiss tax ruling. Each Swiss Obligor shall provide to the Administrative Agent the documents required by law or applicable double taxation treaties for the Lenders to claim a refund of any Swiss Withholding Tax so deducted.

SECTION 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest . If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be presumed correct absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or
        
(b)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in .pdf format)) thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any ABR Borrowing to, or continuation of any Eurodollar Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and, in the case of any request for the continuation of a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Eurodollar Borrowing shall on the last day of the

63


then current Interest Period applicable thereto be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
SECTION 2.12 Increased Costs .

(a)    If any Change in Law shall:

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

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

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to any Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then upon written request of such Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay to such Person such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional


64


amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)    A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.12(a) or Section 2.12(b) , along with (i) a calculation of such amount or amounts, (ii) a description of the specific Change in Law that justifies such amounts due and (iii) such other pertinent information related to the foregoing as any Borrower may reasonably request, shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be presumed correct absent manifest error. Any Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s determination of any such amount or amounts shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and substantially consistent with similarly situated customers of such Person under agreements having provisions similar to Section 2.12(a) or 2.12(b) , as applicable, after consideration of such factors as such Person then reasonably determines to be relevant. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the correct amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, delivers written notice to the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e)    Each Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall comply with Section 4.03(a) .

SECTION 2.13 Break Funding Payments . In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment or reallocation of Revolving Credit Exposures pursuant to or as a result of Section 2.06 or 2.08 ), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure (for a reason other than the failure of a Lender to fund a Loan or a portion thereof required to be funded hereunder) to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.08(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of an assignment required by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.03(b) , then, in any such event, upon written demand by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on

65


the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be presumed correct absent manifest error, and shall set forth a calculation of such amounts and such other information as any Borrower may reasonably request. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.14 Agreement to Defer Exercise of Right of Contribution, Etc. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by a Borrower (a “ Paying Borrower ”) hereunder, or any setoff or application by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any security furnished by, or of any credits or claims against, such Paying Borrower, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Paying Borrower will not assert or exercise any rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or of its own, against any other Borrower to recover the amount of any such payment, setoff or application by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether by way of assertion of any claim, or exercise of any remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, participation or otherwise, and whether arising by contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise, and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Paying Borrower shall not have any right to exercise any right of recourse to or any claim against assets or property of the other Borrowers for such amounts, in each case unless and until all of the Obligations of the Borrowers have been fully and finally satisfied. If any amount shall be paid to a Paying Borrower by any other Borrower after payment in full of the Obligations, and the Obligations shall thereafter be reinstated in whole or in part and the Administrative Agent or any Lender is forced to repay to any Borrower any sums received in payment of the Obligations, the obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be automatically pro tanto reinstated and such amount shall be held in trust by the payee thereof for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

SECTION 2.15 [ RESERVED ].

SECTION 2.16 Determination of Exchange Rates; Prepayment of Loans as a Result of Currency Fluctuations .

(a)    The Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rates (in accordance with the definition thereof) as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts in respect of the amounts available for drawing under outstanding Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Exchange Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Exchange Rates employed in converting


66


any amounts between the applicable Alternative Currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur.

(b)    If as a result of fluctuations in Exchange Rates (which shall be calculated in accordance with the definition thereof by the Administrative Agent on each Revaluation Date), the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers in writing that the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds 100% of the aggregate Commitments, the Borrowers shall, within three Business Days following receipt of such notice, prepay outstanding Loans in an amount equal to such excess or, if such excess is greater than the amount of all outstanding Loans, the Borrowers shall, within three Business Days following receipt of such notice, prepay all outstanding Loans and deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount equal to the remaining excess after giving effect to such prepayment.

SECTION 2.17 Defaulting Lenders .

(a)    Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i)    facility fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a);

(ii)    the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.01 ); provided that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 11.01 for which such Defaulting Lender’s consent is expressly required;

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

(A)    all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be automatically reallocated (effective as of the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, but only to the extent that (x) each non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed the Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender, (y) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (z) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B)    if the reallocation described in clause  (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, within three Business Days following the Borrowers’ receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent, (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize, for


67


the benefit of the applicable Issuing Banks, the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause  (A) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.01(j)(i) (and the cash so deposited shall be held, invested and applied by such Issuing Bank in a manner consistent with the investment and other procedures described in Section 3.01(j) ) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(C)    if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause  (B) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(D)    if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause  (A) above, then the Letter of Credit participation fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(i) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages after giving effect to such reallocation; and

(E)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause  (A) or (B)  above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.09(a) (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and all Letter of Credit participation fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.09(b)(i) with respect to such LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks, ratably based on the portion of such LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank, until such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized pursuant to clause  (A) or (B)  above; and

(iv)    so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.17(a)(iii)(B) , and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.17(a)(iii)(A) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein);

(b)    The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.17 are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent and each Lender, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender,

68


Borrower or any other Obligor may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.

(c)    In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposures and LC Exposures of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

ARTICLE III
LETTERS OF CREDIT

SECTION 3.01 Letters of Credit .

(a)     General . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Borrower may request that any Issuing Bank issue Letters of Credit, denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, for such Borrower’s account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during (i) in the event such Issuing Bank is also a Non-Extending Lender, the Availability Period applicable to Non-Extending Lenders and (ii) in the event such Issuing Bank is also an Extending Lender, the Availability Period applicable to Extending Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the letters of credit identified on Schedule 3.01 (the “ Existing Letters of Credit ”) shall be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” issued on the Effective Date for all purposes of the Loan Documents. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by any Borrower to, or entered into by any Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Nothing contained in this Article III is intended to limit or restrict the rights of any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to obtain letters of credit otherwise permitted by this Agreement from any Person, regardless of whether such Person is a party hereto.

(b)     Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions . To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit by any Issuing Bank (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank), a Borrower shall hand deliver or transmit by facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by such Issuing Bank) to such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (i) three Business Days before the proposed date such Letter of Credit is to be issued and (ii) one Business Day before the proposed date of any amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit Request requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 3.01(c) ), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or

extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended by an Issuing Bank only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the Total LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit, (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iii) the portion of the Total LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank will not, unless such Issuing Bank shall so agree, exceed the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank. Unless the applicable Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Obligor, before 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 5.02 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue, amend, renew or extend, as applicable, such Letter of Credit. Upon the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit by the applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, the amount available for drawing thereunder as of such date, and the expiry date thereof.

(c)     Expiration Date . Each Letter of Credit shall expire on or prior to the date that is three Business Days prior to (i) with respect to each Issuing Bank that is also a Non-Extending Lender, the Existing Maturity Date and (ii) with respect to each Issuing Bank that is also an Extending Lender, the Extended Maturity Date.

(d)     Participations . By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent Amount of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 3.01(e) , or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to a Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt, no Non-Extending Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any Letter of Credit issued on or after the Existing Maturity Date.


70


(e)     Reimbursement . If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in the same currency as the LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrowers shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrowers on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date that the Borrowers receive such notice; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than the minimum amount for an ABR Borrowing or a Swingline Loan as set forth in Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 , as applicable, any Borrower may, at its election and subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 , as applicable, that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing or a Swingline Loan in the Dollar Equivalent amount thereof and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis , to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Borrowings or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Non-Extending Lenders shall not have any obligation to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement made under any Carry-Over Letter of Credit that occurs on or after the Extended Maturity Date or in any Letter of Credit Issued on or after the Existing Maturity Date.

(f)     Obligations Absolute . The Borrowers’ joint and several obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 3.01(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, excluding payments by such Issuing Bank with respect to drafts or other documents that do not comply on their face with the express terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not


71


similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Affiliates, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by a Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful acts on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

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

(h)     Interim Interest . If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by a Borrower in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such LC Disbursement is reimbursed, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Borrowings; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 3.01(e) , then Section 2.10(d)(ii) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(d) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)     Modification and Termination of LC Commitments of Issuing Banks .

72



(i)    The LC Commitment of any Issuing Bank may be terminated at any time by written notice by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such termination, the Issuing Bank whose LC Commitment was terminated shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination (and shall continue to be an “Issuing Bank” for purposes of this Agreement), but it shall not be required to issue any additional Letters of Credit hereunder. Following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Borrowers’ written notice of termination, the Administrative Agent shall amend Schedule 1.01B to remove such Issuing Bank from Schedule 1.01B .

(ii)    By written notice to the Borrowers, each Issuing Bank may from time to time request that such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment be increased, decreased or terminated. Within ten Business Days following receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall provide such Issuing Bank with notice of their acceptance or rejection of such modification or termination, and if the Borrowers accept such modification or termination, the Borrowers shall also provide a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent. With respect to a termination of such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment, from and after the effective date of such termination, such Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such modification or termination (and shall continue to be an “Issuing Bank” for purposes of this Agreement), but shall not be required to issue any additional Letters of Credit hereunder. Following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Borrowers’ acceptance of such modification or termination, the Administrative Agent shall amend Schedule 1.01B to either (a) reflect the amount of such Issuing Bank’s modified LC Commitment or (b) in the event of a termination, remove such Issuing Bank from Schedule 1.01B .

(j)     Cash Collateralization .

(i)    If (A) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the Total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, (B) on the Existing Maturity Date any portion of the Carry-Over LC Exposure required by Section 2.06(a)(iii) or (C) the Borrowers are required to cash collateralize LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.08 , the Borrowers shall deposit in an account maintained with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (the “ LC Collateral Account ”), an amount in cash equal to (x) in the case of clause (A) immediately above, 105% of the Total LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the joint and several obligation of the Borrowers to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to a Borrower described in clause  (g) or (h) of Section 9.01 or (y) in the case of clause (B) immediately above, 105% of the aggregate amount of Carry-Over LC Exposure that could not be


73


reallocated to the Extending Lenders issued by such Issuing Bank or (z) in the case of clause (C) immediately above, an amount necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 2.08 . Any such deposits pursuant to this Section 3.01(j)(i) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to pay interest on the investment of such deposits, but the Administrative Agent shall invest such deposits in a manner consistent with the Administrative Agent’s management of its own overnight cash investments, which investments shall be made at the Borrowers’ risk and expense. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the LC Collateral Account. Moneys in the LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements made by the Issuing Banks for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the joint and several reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.01(e) or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the Total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral (1) as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as provided in this Section 3.01(j)(i) ) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived, (2) as a result of Carry-Over LC Exposure that has not been reallocated to the Extending Lenders, such cash collateral (to the extent not applied as provided in this Section 3.01(j)(i) ) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after the date described in Section 2.06(a)(iii) or (3) pursuant to Section 2.08 and the Total Revolving Credit Exposure is subsequently reduced to an amount less than the Aggregate Commitments, such cash collateral (to the extent not applied as provided in this Section 3.01(j)(i) ) or a portion thereof shall be promptly returned to the Borrowers to the extent that the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Exposure is less than the amount of the Aggregate Commitments.

(ii)    The obligations of each of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents regarding Letters of Credit, including obligations under this Section 3.01 , shall survive after the Extended Maturity Date and termination of this Agreement for so long as any LC Exposure exists.

(k)     Designation of Additional Issuing Banks . From time to time, the Borrowers may by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement (an “ Issuing Bank Agreement ”), which shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, shall set forth the LC Commitment of such Lender and shall be executed by such Lender, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such Issuing Bank Agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be

74


deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank. Following designation of an additional Issuing Bank in accordance with this Section 3.01(k) , the Administrative Agent shall amend Schedule 1.01B to reflect the addition of such Issuing Bank and such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment as provided in such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank Agreement.

(l)     Classification of Letters of Credit . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the determination of whether a Letter of Credit shall be classified as a Financial Standby Letter of Credit or a Performance Standby Letter of Credit for purposes hereof shall be made by the Issuing Bank that has issued such Letter of Credit, and such determination shall be presumed correct, absent manifest error. Upon the issuance of a Letter or Credit by an Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent as to whether such Letter of Credit shall be classified a Financial Standby Letter of Credit or a Performance Standby Letter of Credit for purposes hereof.

ARTICLE IV
PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; TAXES

SECTION 4.01     Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs .

(a)    Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.12 , 2.13 or 4.02 , or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York; provided that (i) payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein shall be made directly to such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as applicable, and (ii) payments pursuant to Sections 2.12 , 2.13 , 4.02 and 11.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) shall be made in Dollars; all other payments hereunder (except in connection with reimbursement of LC Disbursements, as specifically provided in Section 3.01(e) ) and under each other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the issuance of any Letter of Credit in any Alternative Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Letter of Credit was issued (herein, the “ original currency ”) no longer exists or for any reason the relevant Borrower is not

75


able to make payment to the Issuing Bank in such original currency, or the terms of this Agreement require the conversion of such Letter of Credit or the related Letter of Credit Exposure into Dollars (including as required by Sections 3.01(c) and 3.01(d) ), then all payments to be made by such Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that each Borrower takes all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations or conversion, and each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any loss resulting from any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency that is not repaid to the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the original currency.

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

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

(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the


76


account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower shall not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if a Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(c) , Section 2.04(b) , Section 3.01(d) , Section 3.01(e) , Section 4.01(d) or Section 11.04(b) , then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Administrative Agent, such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses ( i) and (ii)  above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 4.02 Taxes/Additional Payments .

(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)    The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 20 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of a Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that the Borrowers shall not be liable for any penalties, interest or expenses that result from the failure of the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank to notify the Borrowers of the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes within a


77


reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such Indemnified or Other Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.

(c)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is organized, tax resident or otherwise located, or any treaty to which any such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law (or otherwise reasonably requested by such Borrower) as shall permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(d)    If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes paid by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.02 , it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 4.02 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay promptly the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such amount) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (d) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

(e)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date or upon the effectiveness of any Assignment and Assumption by which it becomes a party to this Agreement (unless an Event of Default under Section 9.01(a) , 9.01(g) or 9.01(h) has occurred and is continuing on the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption) (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W‑8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8EXP, W-8IMY or W-9, or other applicable governmental form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes payable to it without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Taxes, as if each Borrower were incorporated under the laws of the United States or a State thereof and (ii)  any other governmental forms (including tax residency certificates) which are necessary or required under


78


an applicable Tax treaty or otherwise by law to eliminate any withholding Tax or which have been reasonably requested by the Borrowers. Each Lender which delivers to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W‑8EXP, W-8IMY or W-9, or other applicable governmental form pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two further copies of such form on or before the date that any such form expires (currently, three successive calendar years for Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by a Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in each case certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Taxes, unless Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income Taxes. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States 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 Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers and 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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f)    The Borrowers, jointly and severally, will remit to the appropriate Governmental Authority, prior to delinquency, all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes payable in respect of any payment. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the applicable Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or such other evidence thereof as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g)    For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the effective date of the Agreement, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loan Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(h)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any


79


Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.05(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h).

(i)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (including Section 2.10(g) and this Section 4.02 ), a Swiss Obligor shall not be required to make a tax gross up, a tax indemnity payment or an increased interest payment under any Loan Document to a specific Lender or Participant (but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall remain required to make a tax gross up, a tax indemnity payment, or an increased interest payment to all other Lenders) in respect of Swiss Withholding Tax due on interest payments by a Swiss Obligor under this Agreement as a direct result of such Lender or Participant (i) making an incorrect declaration of its status as to whether or not it is a Swiss Qualifying Lender or a single Swiss Non-Qualifying Lender, (ii) breaching the restrictions regarding transfers, assignments, participations, sub-participation and exposure transfers set forth in Section 11.05 ( provided , however , that if a Specified Event of Default occurs within 90 days following any such transfer, assignment, participation or sub-participation, the Swiss Obligors shall be required to make such tax gross up, tax indemnity payment or increased interest payment) or (iii) ceasing to be a Swiss Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender or Participant under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or double taxation treaty, or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority.

SECTION 4.03 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders .

(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 , or if a Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.02 , then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 4.02 , 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, jointly and severally, agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)    If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 (including for Taxes under Section 2.12(a)(iii) ), or (ii) a Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender


80


pursuant to Section 4.02 , or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (iv) any Lender becomes a Swiss Non-Qualifying Lender (but only if such event causes a breach of the Swiss Non-Bank Rules), or (v) any Lender fails to provide its consent to a Redomestication under the laws of a jurisdiction (other than the United Kingdom, The Kingdom of the Netherlands, Luxembourg or Switzerland) outside of the United States, or (vi) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.05 ), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (1) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of each Issuing Bank and, if such assignee is not already a Lender hereunder, the Administrative Agent, which consent of the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (if applicable) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (2) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (3) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.02 , such assignment shall result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply and such Lender neither received nor continued to claim any such compensation or payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the assignment and delegation of its interests, rights and obligations to any proposed assignee pursuant to this Section 4.03(b) if it does not execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after having received a written request therefor.

SECTION 4.04 Financial Assistance .

(a)    If and to the extent that a payment in fulfilling a liability of any Swiss Obligor under this Agreement other than such Swiss Obligor’s own liabilities or liabilities of one of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries would, at the time payment is due, under Swiss law and practice (inter alia, prohibiting capital repayments or restricting profit distributions) not be permitted (such obligations, “ Restricted Obligations ”), then such obligations and payment amount shall from time to time be limited to the amount permitted to be paid; provided , however , that such limited amount shall at no time be less than such Swiss Obligor’s profits and reserves available for distribution as dividends (being the balance sheet profits and any reserves available for this purpose, in each case in accordance with Article 798 of the Swiss Federal Code of Obligations) at the time or times the relevant payment is requested from such Swiss Obligor; provided further that such limitation (as may apply from time to time or not) shall not (generally or definitively) free such Swiss Obligor from payment obligations hereunder in excess thereof, but merely postpone the payment date therefor until such times as payment is again permitted notwithstanding such limitation. Any and all indemnities and guarantees contained in the Loan


81


Documents including, in particular, Sections 4.02(b) and 9.02 shall be construed in a manner consistent with the provisions herein contained.

(b)    In respect of Restricted Obligations, each Swiss Obligor shall:

(B)      pay any such deduction to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and
(C)      notify the Administrative Agent that such a deduction has been made and provide the Administrative Agent with evidence that such a deduction has been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, all in accordance with Section 4.02(a) and Section 4.02(f) ; and

(c)    If and to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent and if and to the extent this is from time to time required under Swiss law (restricting profit distributions), in order to allow the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank to obtain a maximum benefit from the relevant Swiss Obligor’s liabilities under this Agreement, each Swiss Obligor undertakes to promptly implement all such measures and/or to promptly obtain the fulfillment of all prerequisites allowing it to promptly make the requested payment(s) hereunder from time to time, including the following:

(i)    preparation of an up-to-date audited balance sheet of such Swiss Obligor;

(ii)    confirmation of the auditors of such Swiss Obligor that the relevant amount represents the maximum freely distributable profits;

(iii)    approval by a quotaholders’ meeting of the relevant Swiss Obligor of the resulting profit distribution; and
        
(iv)    to the extent permitted by applicable law, write up any of the assets of the relevant Swiss Obligor that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets and provided that such write up would not have materially adverse tax consequences for such Swiss Obligor or any of its Affiliates.

Should the right of any Lender to realize funds in any manner set forth above be challenged and any application of such funds be reversed, whether by court order or otherwise, the Lenders shall make restitution or refund to the applicable Obligor, as the case may be, pro rata in accordance with their Commitments; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application and/or cash

Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the applicable Obligor and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have. This Section is subject to the terms and provisions of Section 4.01(c) .

SECTION 9.03 Other Remedies . No remedy conferred herein or in any of the other Loan Documents is to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder and under the other Loan Documents now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 9.04 Application of Moneys During Continuation of Event of Default .

(a)    So long as an Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the Lenders shall continue, all moneys received by the Administrative Agent from any Obligor under the Loan Documents shall, except as otherwise required by law, be distributed by the Administrative Agent on the dates selected by the Administrative Agent as follows:

first , to payment of the unreimbursed expenses for which the Administrative Agent or any Lender is to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 11.03 and to any unpaid fees owing under the Loan Documents by the Obligors to the Administrative Agent;

(b)    The term “unpaid” as used in this Section 9.04 shall mean all relevant Obligations outstanding as of any such distribution date as to which prior distributions have not been made, after giving effect to any adjustments which are made pursuant to Section 9.02 of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified.

ARTICLE X
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates that are holders of Guaranteed Obligations, and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The bank serving as the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Obligor or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01) , and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01 ) or in the absence of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful acts, as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (v) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (w) the contents of any certificate, report or other

117


document delivered under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (x) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (y) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (z) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than those conditions requiring delivery of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The 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 believed in good faith by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed in good faith by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, in each case in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph and the second succeeding paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Borrowers. Upon any resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required 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 Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.
In addition, in the event that (i) the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Person has been replaced in its capacity as a Lender pursuant to Section 4.03(b) , (iii) if such Person is a Swingline Lender, such Person has been replaced in its capacity as a Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 4.03(b) , and (iv) if such Person is an Issuing Bank, (A) the LC Commitment of such Person, as an Issuing Bank, has been terminated pursuant to Section 3.01(i) and (B) no Letters of Credit issued by such Person, as an Issuing Bank, are outstanding such time (unless arrangements satisfactory to such Person for the cash collateralization thereof have been made), then the Required Lenders or the Borrowers may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, remove such Person from its capacity as

118


Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; provided that the consent or agreement of such Person, in any of its capacities, shall not be required in respect of its removal as a Lender or a Swingline Lender; provided further that a successor Administrative Agent selected by the Required Lenders, in consultation with the Borrowers, shall be appointed concurrently with such removal.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. 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 Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections 11.03 and 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extension of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.
The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 11.01 Waiver; Amendments; Joinder; Removal of Certain Borrowers; Release of Guarantors .

(a)    No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph  (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Obligor Parties and the Required Lenders or by the Obligor Parties and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (irrespective of whether such Lender is a Defaulting Lender), (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (including Defaulting Lenders), (iii) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (including Defaulting Lenders), (iv) change Section 4.01(b) or 4.01(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders), (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders), (vi) except as provided in Section 11.01(d) , release any Borrower from its joint and several liability for the Obligations, without the written consent of each Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders), or (vii) release any Person from its liability under a guaranty (other than the release of WII from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth in the Guaranty Agreement), without the written consent of each Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or


120


otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be; provided further that no such agreement shall amend or modify any provision of Section 2.17 without the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Required Lenders. Subject to the foregoing, the waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of Article VI , VII or VIII or Section 9.01 may be effected with the consent of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 11.01(b) shall, in respect of a Defaulting Lender, be subject to Section 2.17(b) .

(c)    From time to time, WIL-Ireland may cause one or more additional Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries to become Borrowers hereunder by delivering, or causing to be delivered, to the Administrative Agent in respect of each applicable Subsidiary, the following, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) a Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary (the date of each such Joinder Agreement being referred to herein as a “ Joinder Date ”, which date shall be at least ten days after WIL-Ireland provides notice to the Administrative Agent of its intention to cause such Subsidiary to become a Borrower hereunder), (ii) each of the documents or other closing deliverables specified in Section 5.01 that would have been required to be delivered by or on behalf of such Subsidiary had such Subsidiary been a Borrower on the Effective Date, each such deliverable to be dated as of the applicable Joinder Date unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, (iii) replacement Notes dated as of the applicable Joinder Date payable to each Lender for which an existing Note is outstanding on such Joinder Date, (iv) a written confirmation by the Guarantors that their guarantee obligations shall apply to the obligations of such Subsidiary under the Loan Documents from and after the Joinder Date and (v) such other approvals, opinions or documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; provided , that no Subsidiary may become a Borrower hereunder pursuant to this paragraph  (c) if (x) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Joinder Date, or shall result from the joinder of such Subsidiary as a Borrower on such Joinder Date, or (y) such Subsidiary is not organized under the laws of any jurisdiction of the United States and any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that such Subsidiary is organized in a jurisdiction in which such Lender and its Affiliates cannot legally lend or do business. Without limiting the foregoing, if the designation of any additional Wholly-Owned Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar regulatory requirements and the information necessary for such compliance is not already available to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, WIL-Ireland shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in order for it to comply with all “know your customer” and/or similar identification procedures required under all applicable laws and regulations. If WIL-Ireland shall designate an additional Wholly-Owned Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder that is not organized under the laws of any jurisdiction of the United States, the Republic of Hungary or Bermuda, WIL-Ireland shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on or prior to the Joinder Date applicable to such Subsidiary, of all documentation prescribed by the law of the jurisdiction in which such Subsidiary is organized, tax resident or otherwise located, or any treaty to which any such jurisdiction is a party, as shall permit payments made by such Subsidiary under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be


121


made without withholding or at a reduced rate to the extent an exemption or reduction is available under any such applicable law or treaty.

(d)    From time to time, WIL-Ireland may cause any Borrower (other than WIL) to cease to be a Borrower hereunder by (i) delivering to the Administrative Agent a notice to such effect, specifying the identity of the applicable Borrower and the proposed date on which such Borrower shall no longer be a Borrower hereunder, which date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after delivery of such notice (each such date being referred to herein as a “ Borrower Removal Date ”) and (ii) delivering, or causing to be delivered, to the Administrative Agent replacement Notes dated as of the applicable Borrower Removal Date payable to each Lender for which an existing Note is outstanding on such Borrower Removal Date, executed by WIL and each other Borrower that shall not cease to be a Borrower on such Borrower Removal Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided , that no Borrower may cease to be a Borrower hereunder pursuant to this Section 11.01(d) if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Borrower Removal Date, or shall result from such Borrower ceasing to be a Borrower hereunder on such Borrower Removal Date. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, on the applicable Borrower Removal Date, the applicable Borrower shall no longer be a “Borrower”, an “Obligor” or an “Obligor Party” hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any Borrower shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder in accordance with this Section 11.01(d) , the other Obligors shall remain jointly and severally liable with respect to each Loan made to such Borrower and each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower outstanding on the applicable Borrower Removal Date.

(e)    Promptly upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent will execute and deliver all documents as may reasonably be requested to effect a release of a Guarantor that ceases to exist in accordance with Section 8.02 . The Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such release of a Guarantor.

(a)    The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lead Arranger, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Affiliate of each of the foregoing, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each such Person being called an “ Indemnitee ”) from, and hold each Indemnitee harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims or damages (including reasonable and documented or invoiced legal fees and expenses) to which any Indemnitee may become subject, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims or damages arise out of or result from (i) any claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) relating to this Agreement, any Loan, any Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document (whether or not such claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Borrower or any other Obligor or its or their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto), (ii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by WIL-Ireland or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to WIL-Ireland or any of its Subsidiaries, except, in each case, insofar as the Environmental Liability or liability relating to the presence or release of Hazardous Materials arises out of actions taken by, or failed to be taken by, such Indemnitee after the date on which WIL-Ireland or any of its Subsidiaries is divested of ownership of such property (whether by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, as mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise), or (iii) any actual or proposed use by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the proceeds of


126


any extension of credit by any Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder, and the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall reimburse each Indemnitee upon demand for any expenses (including reasonable and documented or invoiced legal fees) incurred in connection with any such claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding; but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (A) found by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been incurred by reason of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct of such Indemnitee, (B) that arise from any dispute solely between or among Indemnitees (not arising as a result of any act or omission by the Obligors or their Affiliates), other than claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity as, or in fulfilling its role or roles as an arranger, administrative agent, syndication agent or documentation agent for the facility evidence by this Agreement or (C) incurred by any Defaulting Lender to the extent directly arising from or caused by the conduct, acts, omissions or events of or applicable to such Defaulting Lender that were the cause of such Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the Borrower’s payment obligations under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as a result of such Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH INDEMNITEE HEREUNDER SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE. WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE SURVIVAL OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY, THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS UNDER THIS SECTION 11.04 SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE PAYMENT OF THE OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE NOTES.

(b)    To the extent that any Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank under Section 11.03 or paragraph  (a) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such.

(c)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither any party hereto nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other such Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof (it being understood that, to the extent any Indemnitee suffers any such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, the indemnification obligations of the Borrowers set forth in the paragraph  (a) of this Section shall apply).


127


(d)    No Indemnitee referred to in Section 11.04(a) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for
any such damages found by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been incurred by reason of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct of such Indemnitee.

(e)    All amounts due under this Section 11.04 and under Section 11.03 shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after written demand therefor and presentation of any documents required to be delivered in connection therewith.

SECTION 11.05 Successors and Assigns .  

(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Obligor without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph  (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)    (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 11.05 (including subparagraph  (b)(ii) below), any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and, additionally, in the case of assignments pursuant to Section 4.03 , delayed or conditioned) of:

(A) WIL-Bermuda, provided that no consent of WIL-Bermuda shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment; and

(C) each Issuing Bank; and

(D) each Swingline Lender;


128



provided that any consent to an assignment required by WIL-Bermuda under this Section 11.05(b)(i) shall be deemed to have been given by WIL-Bermuda unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after receiving a written request for its consent to such assignment.
(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

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

(B)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) any assignment of the Non-Extended Commitment and related Obligations of a Non-Extending Lender shall include all rights, obligations and terms applicable thereto (including termination of such Extended Commitment on the Existing Maturity Date), and (y) any assignment of the Extended Commitment and related Obligations of an Extending Lender shall include all rights, obligations and terms applicable thereto (including termination of such Extended Commitment on the Extended Maturity Date);

(C)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

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

(E) except in connection with assignments made while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all prospective assignees of a Lender shall be required, as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment, to execute and deliver the forms required under Section 4.02(c) and Section 4.02(e) for any


129


Lender, and no assignment shall be effective in connection herewith unless and until such forms are so delivered;

(F) except in the case when no consent of WIL-Bermuda is required because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no assignment shall be made to any such assignee unless such assignee provides a written representation to WIL-Bermuda that such assignee is not subject under then current law to any withholding tax on amounts payable to such assignee under this Agreement;

(G) no assignment shall be made to an Ineligible Institution; and

(H) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to WIL-Ireland and the Administrative Agent an Assignee Certificate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.05 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, the consent of each Swiss Borrower, if any, and of WIL-Ireland shall, so long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be required for an assignment or participation to any assignee or Participant that is a Swiss Non-Qualifying Lender; provided , however , that such a consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and in any event, such consent shall be deemed given if any Swiss Borrower or WIL-Ireland, as applicable, does not give its written decision within 10 Business Days after a request for such consent from the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Swiss Borrower or WIL-Ireland determines in its reasonable discretion that any assignment or participation would result in noncompliance with the Swiss Non-Bank Rules and/or that the number of Lenders and Participants that are Swiss Non-Qualifying Lenders would exceed the number of eight, then such Swiss Borrower’s or WIL-Ireland’s objection to such assignment or participation shall be deemed to be reasonable.
For purposes of this Section 11.05 , the terms “ Approved Fund ” and “ Ineligible Institution ” have the following meanings:
Approved Fund ” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
Ineligible Institution ” means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender or its Lender Parent, (c) WIL-Ireland any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates, or (d) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof.
(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subparagraph  (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall,


130


to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 , 2.13 , 4.02 , 11.03 and 11.04 ). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.05 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph  (c) of this Section.

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

(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee permitted under paragraph  (b) of this Section, such assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless such assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph  (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph  (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or such assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04 , 3.01(d) or (e) , 4.01(d) or 11.04(b) , the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)    (i)      Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Lender may, without the consent of any Obligor, the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than an Ineligible Institution (a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other


131


Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) such Participant delivers a Participant Certificate to such Lender, the Administrative Agent and WIL-Ireland. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 11.01(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to subparagraph  (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 , 2.13 and 4.02 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph  (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.02 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(b) , and to deliver the forms required by Sections 4.02(c) , 4.02(e) and 4.02(i) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), 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 the requirements of this Section 11.05 (including, but not limited to, Section 11.05(c)(ii) ) are satisfied, the entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 and 4.02 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 WIL-Bermuda’s prior written consent. WIL-Bermuda shall be notified of each participation sold to a Participant, and each Participant shall comply with Sections 4.02(c) , 4.02(d) , 4.02(e) and 4.02(i) as though it were a Lender. A Participant that fails to comply with the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to any of the benefits of Section 4.02 .

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

SECTION 11.06 Confidentiality . Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers,


132


employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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 to the extent set forth herein), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body having or claiming jurisdiction over such Person, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena, court order or similar legal or regulatory process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction to which an Obligor is a direct counterparty relating to any Obligors and their respective obligations hereunder, and to any insurer or insurance broker, (g) with the consent of the applicable Obligors, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than an Obligor, or (i) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein. For the purposes of this Section, “ Information ” means all information received from any Obligor relating to such Obligor or any other Obligor or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the applicable Obligor and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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 of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall endeavor to notify WIL-Bermuda as promptly as possible of any Information that it is required to disclose pursuant to any subpoena, court order or similar legal or regulatory process so long as it is not legally prohibited from providing such notice.

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


133


PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER, THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.
SECTION 11.07 Survival . All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Obligors herein, in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and thereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until Payment in Full. The provisions of Sections 2.12 , 2.13 , 4.02 , 11.03 and 11.04 and Article X shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 11.08 Governing Law . This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents executed in connection herewith and therewith and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

SECTION 11.09 Independence of Covenants . All covenants contained in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that such action or condition would be permitted by an exception to, or otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant, shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

SECTION 11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents and any


134


separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in .pdf format) shall be effective for all purposes as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

To request the Initial Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders) of such request in writing (a) in the event the Loans are to be made initially as Eurodollar Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the Effective Date, or (b) in the event the Loans are to be made initially as ABR Loans, not later than 11:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date.

(b)     Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the Effective Date (or, in the event the Loans are to be made initially as ABR Loans, prior to 12:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date) that such Lender shall not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the Initial Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such ratable portion available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Initial Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the Borrower and the applicable Lender severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Loans comprising the Initial Borrowing.

(ii) As a condition to any Lender being permitted to fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender under Section 2.04(c)(i) , such Affiliate must comply with Sections 4.02(c) and 4.02(e) as if it were a Lender that became a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed on the first date on which such Commitment is being fulfilled by such Affiliate. Additionally, in applying the provisions of Section 4.02 and the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, such Affiliate shall be treated as a Lender that executed an Assignment and Assumption on the first date on which such Commitment is fulfilled by such Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, an Affiliate acting as a Lender under Section 2.04(c)(i) shall not be entitled to any greater gross-up or indemnity under Section 4.02 than that to which the applicable Lender would have been entitled had such Affiliate not acted as a Lender under Section 2.04(c)(i) ; provided if an Affiliate is acting as a Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) solely as a result of a Lender being unable to fulfill its Commitment to the Borrower due to a Requirement of Law, such Affiliate shall be entitled to a gross-up or indemnification to the same extent that would have resulted had such Lender made an assignment to such Affiliate under Section 11.05 . Moreover, nothing in this Section 2.04(c) shall be construed as making an Affiliate of any Lender a beneficial owner of payments received as a result of such Affiliate’s fulfillment of such Lender’s Commitment to the extent the arrangement between such Lender and such Affiliate is one whereby such Affiliate is merely acting as an agent for such Lender.

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

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

ACTIVE 214387177






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

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in .pdf format)) thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any ABR Borrowing to, or continuation of any Eurodollar Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and, in the case of any request for the continuation of a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Eurodollar Borrowing shall on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

(ii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; or
        
(iii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (g) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, (C) Connection Income Taxes, and (D) Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then upon written request of such Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Person such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender determines in good faith 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 capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such

Any Lender’s determination of any such amount or amounts shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and substantially consistent with similarly situated customers of such Lender under agreements having provisions similar to Section 2.12(a) or 2.12(b) , as applicable, after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the correct amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender delivers written notice to the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e)    Each Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall comply with Section 4.03(a) .

SECTION 2.13 Break Funding Payments . In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure (for a reason other than the failure of a Lender to fund a Loan or a portion thereof required to be funded hereunder) to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.08(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of an assignment required by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.03(b) , then, in any such event, upon written demand by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.

SECTION 2.15 Defaulting Lenders .

(a)    Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Commitment and Loan of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.01 ); provided that the provisions of this clause (a) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender (that funded in full its initial Commitment when due) in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 11.01 for which such Defaulting Lender’s consent is expressly required.

(b)    The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.15 are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent and each Lender, the Borrower or any other Obligor may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.

(c)    In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender.

Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York; provided that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12 , 2.13 , 4.02 and 11.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt

thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,

interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) and all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

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

(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
    
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders that the Borrower shall not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

SECTION 4.02 Taxes/Additional Payments .

(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 20 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for any penalties, interest or expenses that result from the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender to notify the Borrower of the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes within a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such Indemnified or Other Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.

(c)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is organized, tax resident or otherwise located, or any treaty to which any such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law (or otherwise reasonably requested by the Borrower) as shall permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(d)    If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes paid by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.02 , it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 4.02 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay promptly the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such amount) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (d) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

(e)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date or upon the effectiveness of any Assignment and Assumption by which it becomes a party to this Agreement (unless an Event of Default under Section 9.01(a) , 9.01(g) or 9.01(h) has occurred and is continuing on the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption) (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W‑8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8EXP, W-8IMY or W-9, or other applicable governmental form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes payable to it without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Taxes, as if the Borrower were incorporated under the laws of the United States or a State thereof and (ii)  any other governmental forms (including tax residency certificates) which are necessary or required under an applicable Tax treaty or otherwise by law to eliminate any withholding Tax or which have been reasonably requested by the Borrower. Each Lender which delivers to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W‑8EXP, W-8IMY or W-9, or other applicable governmental form pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of such form on or before the date that any such form expires (currently, three successive calendar years for Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions

or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in each case certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Taxes, unless Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income Taxes. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f)    The Borrower will remit to the appropriate Governmental Authority, prior to delinquency, all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes payable in respect of any payment. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or such other evidence thereof as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g)    [RESERVED.]

(h)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.05(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h).

SECTION 4.03 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders .

(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 , or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.02 , then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loan 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 2.12 or 4.02 , as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)    If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 (including for Taxes under Section 2.12(a)(iii)), or (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.02 , or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (iv) any Lender fails to provide its consent to a Redomestication under the laws of a jurisdiction (other than the United Kingdom, The Kingdom of the Netherlands, Luxembourg or Switzerland) outside of the United States, or (v) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.05 ), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (1) if such assignee is not already a Lender hereunder, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (2) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (3) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.02 , such assignment shall result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply and such Lender neither received nor continued to claim any such compensation or payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the assignment and delegation of its interests, rights and obligations to any proposed assignee pursuant to this Section 4.03(b) if it does not execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after having received a written request therefor.

Any and all indemnities and guarantees contained in the Loan Documents including, in particular, Sections 4.02(b) and 9.02 shall be construed in a manner consistent with the provisions herein contained.

(b)    In respect of Restricted Obligations, each Swiss Obligor shall:

SECTION 9.02 Right of Setoff . Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Obligor (any such notice being expressly waived by each Obligor), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding the funds held in accounts clearly designated as escrow or trust accounts held by any Obligor for the benefit of Persons which are not Affiliates of any Obligor), whether or not such setoff results in any loss of interest or other penalty, and including all certificates of deposit, at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any and all of the Obligations irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document. Should the right of any Lender to realize funds in any manner set forth above be challenged and any application of such funds be reversed, whether by court order or otherwise, the Lenders shall make restitution or refund to the applicable Obligor, as the case may be, pro rata in accordance with their Commitments; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application and/or cash collateralization pursuant to Section 4.01(e) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of each Credit Party and each Obligor as herein provided, and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the applicable Obligor and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

ARTICLE X
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates that are holders of Secured Obligations, hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each of the Lenders, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates that are Secured Parties, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Collateral Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Affiliate’s behalf. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Obligor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” as used herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
The bank serving as the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Obligor or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

95
ACTIVE 214387177





The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01) , and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01 ) or in the absence of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful acts, as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (v) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (w) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (x) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (y) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (z) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than those conditions requiring delivery of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The 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 believed in good faith by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed in good faith by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, in each case in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

ACTIVE 214387177





Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph and the second succeeding paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required 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, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.
In addition, in the event that (i) the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender and (ii) such Person has been replaced in its capacity as a Lender pursuant to Section 4.03(b) , then the Required Lenders or the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, remove such Person from its capacity as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; provided that the consent or agreement of such Person, in any of its capacities, shall not be required in respect of its removal as a Lender; provided further that a successor Administrative Agent selected by the Required Lenders, in consultation with the Borrower, shall be appointed concurrently with such removal.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections 11.03 and 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extension of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or

not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender.
The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of the Collateral Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties; provided that, with respect to any Collateral Documents governed by the laws of the Netherlands, the Administrative Agent shall act in its own name but for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) as described in Section 11.01(c) and Section 11.22 ; (ii) as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant hereto. Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and promptly upon receipt of a written request by any Obligor Party to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided , however , that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any

ACTIVE 214387177






obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of WIL-Ireland or any Subsidiary in respect of) all interests retained by WIL-Ireland or any Subsidiary, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Any execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent of documents in connection with any such release shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Obligor under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, administration, examinership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.09 , 2.10 , 2.12 , 2.13 , 4.02 , 11.03 and 11.04 ) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)    collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, administrator, examiner, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Sections 11.03 and 11.04 ).
For the purposes of any grant of security under the laws of the Province of Quebec which may now or in the future be required to be provided by any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and appointed by each of the Lenders to act as hypothecary representative (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Lenders (in such capacity, the “ Hypothecary Representative ”) in order to hold any hypothec granted under the laws of the Province of Quebec and to exercise such rights and duties as are conferred upon the Hypothecary Representative under the relevant deed of hypothec and applicable laws (with the power to delegate any such rights or duties). Any execution prior to the date hereof by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the Hypothecary Representative of any deed of hypothec or other security documents made pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, is hereby ratified and confirmed. Any Person who becomes a Lender or successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to and ratified the foregoing appointment of the Administrative Agent as the Hypothecary Representative on behalf of all Lenders, including such Person and any Affiliate

of such Person designated above as a Lender. For greater certainty, the Administrative Agent, acting as the Hypothecary Representative, shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Administrative Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. In the event of the resignation of the Administrative Agent (which shall include its resignation as the Hypothecary Representative) and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall also act as the Hypothecary Representative, as contemplated above.
The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver any Collateral Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands and agree with the creation of parallel debt obligations of any Dutch Collateral Party (the “ Parallel Debt ”). The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Obligors, provided that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of any Collateral Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the Netherlands, any resignation by the Administrative Agent is not effective with respect to its rights and obligations under the Parallel Debt until such rights and obligations are assigned to the successor agent.
The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other applicable jurisdictions (including the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) of Australia), or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles ( provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such

Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.
Solely for the purpose of Security Agreements and Pledge Agreements under the laws of Hungary, each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its special pledge agent (in Hungarian: “zálogjogosulti bizományos”) under Section 5:96. § of Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code of Hungary (the “ Appointment ”) and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of any document and registration of the Appointment in any of the pledge registries of Hungary (“ Hungary Pledge Registries ”) for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties including but not limited to the signing of security documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or notice relating thereto, and enforcement or release of any security governed by Hungarian law. The Appointment shall be effective against third parties from the date of the registration of the Appointment in the Hungary Pledge Registries. The Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) shall not be registered in the Hungary Pledge Registries. The Administrative Agent registered in the Hungary Pledge Registries shall exclusively exercise the rights and obligations of the Secured Parties in relation to the Security Agreements and Pledge Agreements under the laws of Hungary in its own name but for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 11.01 Waiver; Amendments; Joinder; Release of Guarantors; Release of Collateral .

(a)    No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph  (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Obligor Parties and the Required Lenders or by the Obligor Parties and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (irrespective of whether such Lender is a Defaulting Lender), (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (including Defaulting Lenders) (it being understood that only the Required Lenders shall be required to waive or amend the default rate of interest or to change any financial covenant or defined term used therein), (iii) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (including Defaulting Lenders) (it being understood that only the Required Lenders shall be required to waive or amend the default rate of interest or to change any financial covenant or defined term used therein), (iv) change Section 4.01(b) or 4.01(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders), (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders), (vi)  except as provided in Article X , Section 11.01(c) and Section 11.22 , release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranty Agreements, taken as a whole, without the written consent of each Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders) or (vii) except as provided in Article X , Section 11.01(c) and Section 11.22 or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral without the

102

written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; provided further that no such agreement shall amend or modify any provision of Section 2.15 without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders. Subject to the foregoing, the waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of Article VI , VII or VIII or Section 9.01 may be effected with the consent of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 11.01(b) shall, in respect of a Defaulting Lender, be subject to Section 2.15(b) .

(c)    Any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Obligors shall be automatically released on any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full, (ii) constituting property being Disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (other than property Disposed of to a Restricted Subsidiary organized in a Specified Jurisdiction), (iii) constituting property leased to WIL-Ireland or any Subsidiary under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any Disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article IX and in any case set forth above, promptly upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will execute and deliver all documents as may reasonably be requested to evidence such release. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Obligors in respect of) all interests retained by the Obligors, including the proceeds of any Disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In addition, each of the Lenders, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates that are Secured Parties, irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (i) to subordinate any Lien on any assets granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clause (g) or (k) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or (ii) in the event that WIL-Ireland shall have advised the Administrative Agent that, notwithstanding the use by WIL-Ireland of commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such holder (but without the requirement to pay any sums to obtain such consent) to permit the Administrative Agent to retain its liens (on a subordinated basis as contemplated by clause (i) above), the holder of such other Indebtedness requires, as a condition to the extension of such credit, that the Liens on such assets granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document be released, to release the Administrative Agent’s Liens on such assets.

WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH INDEMNITEE HEREUNDER SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE.

(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

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

(B)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(F)    except in the case when no consent of the Borrower is required because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no assignment shall be made to any such assignee unless such assignee provides a written representation to the Borrower that such assignee is not subject under then current law to any withholding tax on amounts payable to such assignee under this Agreement; and

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.05 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph  (c) of this Section.

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

No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)    (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Lender may, without the consent of any Obligor or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than an Ineligible Institution (a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 11.01(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to subparagraph  (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 , 2.13 and 4.02 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph  (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.02 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(b) , and to deliver the forms required by Sections 4.02(c) and 4.02(e) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), 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 the requirements of this Section 11.05 (including, but not limited to, Section 11.05(c)(ii)) are satisfied, the entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

ACTIVE 214387177






(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 and 4.02 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 Borrower’s prior written consent.

A Participant that fails to comply with the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to any of the benefits of Section 4.02 .

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

SECTION 11.06 Confidentiality . Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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 to the extent set forth herein), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body having or claiming jurisdiction over such Person, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena, court order or similar legal or regulatory process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction to which an Obligor is a direct counterparty relating to any Obligors and their respective obligations hereunder, and to any insurer or insurance broker, (g) with the consent of the applicable Obligors or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than an Obligor, or (i) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating WIL-Ireland or its Subsidiaries or the credit facility provided herein or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facility provided for herein.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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 of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall endeavor to notify the Borrower as promptly as possible of any Information that it is required to disclose pursuant to any subpoena, court order or similar legal or regulatory process so long as it is not legally prohibited from providing such notice.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER, THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 11.09 Independence of Covenants . All covenants contained in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that such action or condition would be permitted by an exception to, or otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant, shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article IX , at least ten (10) days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, or its or their agents, employees, officers, nominees or other representatives, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

8.2     Limitation on Administrative Agent’s and other Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral . The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control (or in the possession or under the care of any agent, employee, officer, nominee or other representative of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party). Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Administrative Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment,

(xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2 . Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.2 .

8.3     Compromises and Collection of Collateral . Each Grantor and the Administrative Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Administrative Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

8.4     Secured Party Performance of Grantor’s Obligations . Without having any obligation to do so, the Administrative Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and fails to so perform or pay and such Grantor shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any reasonable and documented amounts paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.4 . Each Grantor’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.

8.5     Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action . Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Collateral owned by such Grantor and which are Securities or with financial intermediaries holding other Investment Property which is Collateral as may be necessary or advisable to give the Administrative Agent Control over such Securities or other Investment Property, (v) solely to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the terms of Section 4.1.5 hereof, to enforce payment of the Instruments, Accounts and Receivables constituting Collateral in the name of the Administrative Agent or such

Grantor, (vi) solely to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Administrative Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article VII and (vii) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document), and each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any reasonable and documented payment made or any reasonable and documented expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, provided that this authorization shall not relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the Credit Agreement.

8.6     Specific Performance of Certain Covenants . Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in 5.2 , or in Article VII hereof will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.6 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.

8.7     Use and Possession of Certain Premises . Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned or leased by the Grantors where any of the Collateral or any records relating to the Collateral are located until the Secured Obligations are paid or the Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first occurs, without any obligation to pay any Grantor for such use and occupancy, subject to Section 8.2 hereof all respects.

In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

8.10     Benefit of Agreement . The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement); provided that the Grantors shall not have the right to assign their rights or delegate their obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, hereunder.

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the extensions of credit by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement on the terms therein that each of the Guarantors (including the Existing Guarantors) execute and deliver this Guaranty, whereby each of the Guarantors, without limitation and with full recourse, shall guarantee the payment and performance when due of all Guaranteed Obligations;
WHEREAS, without limitation or prejudice to any and all rights and remedies available to any Guaranteed Party against any Guarantor hereunder (or under any other Loan Document) on a joint and several liability basis, as fully set forth in the Loan Documents, the Guaranteed Parties acknowledge that the guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations by the Parent, the publicly-traded parent company and direct and indirect owner of all the WIL-Ireland Group’s assets and operations, provides the greatest economic protection to the Guaranteed Parties in the case of an Event of Default; and
WHEREAS, in consideration of the direct and indirect financial and other support and benefits that the Borrowers have provided, and such direct and indirect financial and other support and benefits as the Borrowers may in the future provide, to the Guarantors, and in consideration for the increased ability of each Guarantor, as an Affiliate of the Borrowers, to benefit from borrowings made by the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the flexibility provided by the Credit Agreement for each Guarantor to do so, and in order to induce the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into the Credit Agreement, and to make the Loans and the other financial accommodations to the Borrowers and to issue the Letters of Credit on the terms described in the Credit Agreement, each of the Guarantors is willing to guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations;

Each Loan Document to which it is a party has been duly and validly executed and delivered by or on behalf of such Guarantor and constitutes valid and legally binding agreements of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with the terms hereof, and the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, when duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of such Guarantor, shall constitute valid and legally binding obligations of such Guarantor enforceable in accordance with the respective terms thereof and of this Guaranty, except, in each case (a) as may be limited by bankruptcy,

(d)    Neither the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof, nor the extensions of credit contemplated by the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the Transactions (i) will breach or violate any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) will result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien prohibited hereunder upon any of its property or assets pursuant to the terms of, (x) the Existing Senior Notes or any Existing Senior Notes Indenture or (y) any other indenture, agreement or other instrument to which it or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is party or by which any property or asset of it or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound or to which it is subject, except for breaches, violations and defaults under clauses (d)(i) and (d)(ii)(y) that collectively for the Guarantors would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or (v) will violate any provision of the organizational and/or constitutional documents or by-laws of such Guarantor.
    
(e)    In the case of Weatherford Australia Pty Limited (ACN 008 947 395) only (i) it is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, (ii) it is not party to any other Loan Document as trustee and does not hold any property as trustee, (iii) it is Solvent and it is not presumed to be or taken to be insolvent under applicable law, and (iv) it is not prevented by Chapter 2E or Part 2J or other provision of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) of Australia from entering into and performing any of the Loan Documents.

(ii)    such Luxembourg Guarantor is not subject to insolvency proceedings such as bankruptcy ( faillite ), insolvency, winding-up, liquidation, moratorium, controlled management ( gestion contrôlée ), suspension of payment ( sursis de paiement ), voluntary arrangement with creditors ( concordat préventif de la faillite ), fraudulent conveyance, general settlement with creditors, reorganization or similar order or proceedings affecting the rights of creditors generally and any proceedings in jurisdictions other than Luxembourg having similar effects; and

SECTION 4. Continuing Guarantee; Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances . Each of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall constitute a continuing and irrevocable guarantee of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full, at which time, subject to all the foregoing conditions, the guarantees made hereunder shall automatically terminate. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the obligations of any individual Guarantor under this Guaranty shall automatically terminate to the extent provided in and in accordance with Sections 11.01(e) and 11.21 of the Credit Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to such Guarantor or such Guarantor’s designee, at such Guarantor’s expense, any documents or instruments that such Guarantor shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan, other Guaranteed Obligation or any other amount payable by any Borrower or by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary under the Credit Agreement, any Swap Agreement evidencing Swap Obligations, any Banking Services Agreement or any other Loan Document (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded, or is or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, examinership, administration, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Guaranteed Party in its discretion), each of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

SECTION 7. Contribution with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations .

(a) To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a Guarantor Payment and in the absence of any other express written agreement among one or more Obligors then, following Payment in Full, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by:

(i) WIL-Ireland within sixty (60) days after written demand by the Guarantor for its Guaranty Loss Amount; then

(ii) if WIL-Ireland fails to satisfy its obligations, in whole or in part, under (i) above, WWH within thirty (30) days after written demand by the Guarantor for its Guaranty Loss Amount (such demand only being made after the time period in (i) above has elapsed); then

(iii) to the extent WIL-Ireland and WWH fail to satisfy their obligations, in whole or in part, under (i) and (ii) above, each Specified Guarantor, based upon the ratio of each such other Specified Guarantor’s Allocable Amount to the aggregate of all Specified Guarantors’ Allocable Amounts, within fifteen (15) days after written demand by the Specified Guarantor for its Guaranty Loss Amount (such demand only being made after the time periods in (i) and (ii) above have elapsed) after, for such calculation purposes, netting amounts that would otherwise be payable by and among any two Specified Guarantors.
It is the intent of the parties that WIL-Ireland and WWH will fully satisfy their obligations if called upon under this Section 7 , and both WIL-Ireland and WWH hereby agree to take all reasonable actions to do so including, without limitation, selling assets, liquidating subsidiaries and otherwise obtaining funding (to the extent available). If a Guarantor fails to satisfy its respective obligation, in whole or in part, in the time period prescribed, for the benefit of the other Guarantors, the provisions of this Section 7 will be applied eliminating, in whole or in part, the nonperforming Guarantor. For the avoidance of doubt, no Guarantor shall be relieved of any obligations under this Section 7 in the event it fails to satisfy its respective obligations to any other Guarantor; rather, each such Guarantor that makes a contribution and indemnification payment shall be entitled to seek recovery from any other Guarantors that failed to fulfill their obligations hereunder; provided, however, (i) WIL-Ireland shall not have a claim for a Guaranty Loss Amount against any other Guarantor, (ii) WWH shall not have a claim for a Guaranty Loss Amount against any Guarantor other than WIL-Ireland, and (iii) a Specified Guarantor shall not have a claim for a Guaranty Loss Amount against any Guarantor other than WIL-Ireland, WWH, or another Specified Guarantor.

(b)    As used in this Section 7 the following terms shall have the following meaning:

(i) Allocable Amount ” means, with respect to any Person, the amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of its property over the total liabilities of such Person determined as of the Effective Date; provided , however , Allocable Amount will be adjusted as and when agreed between the parties to take into account persons who become or cease to be Specified Guarantors after the Effective Date;

(ii) Guaranty Loss Amount ” means the monetary value of any and all claims, damages, costs, expenses or other losses (plus arm’s-length interest on such value) incurred or suffered by a Guarantor as a result of making a Guarantor Payment after taking into account any contributions, reimbursements or other payments received from any other person (including under this Section 7 ) with respect to such Guarantor Payment;

ACTIVE 214265930v.13
Affiliate Guaranty

(iii)    “ Guarantor Payment ” means a payment (which shall include any amounts setoff pursuant to Section 17 ) under this Guaranty or the taking or use of any Collateral under any other Loan Document; and

(iv)    “ Specified Guarantor ” means any Guarantor other than WIL-Ireland and WWH.

(c)    This Section 7 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty.

(d)    The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(e)    The rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 7 shall be exercisable upon Payment in Full, and are intended to reflect the concept of indemnity and contribution among guarantors of an obligation that would otherwise exist under New York law. Nothing in this Section 7, however, shall negate or otherwise modify the rights of subrogation of a Guarantor against a Borrower.

SECTION 8. Certain Limitation of Guaranty . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary the amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Guarantor may have under this Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations have become due and payable (by acceleration or otherwise), each Credit Party and the Administrative Agent may, without notice to any Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, set off and apply toward the payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated at any time held) and other obligations at any time owing by such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent or any of their Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all the Guaranteed Obligations, irrespective of whether or not such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand under this Guaranty. The rights of each Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent may have.

SECTION 21. Financial Information . Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers, the other Guarantors and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that none of the Guaranteed Parties or the Administrative Agent shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to any of them regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Guarantor, such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to such Guarantor.

SECTION 22. Severability . Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

SECTION 23. Merger . This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and, except as expressly provided in Section 28 hereof, supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 24. Headings . Section headings in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and shall not govern the interpretation of any provision of this Guaranty.

SECTION 25. Judgment Currency . The obligation of each Guarantor to make payments on any Obligation to the Lenders, to any Issuing Bank or to the Administrative Agent hereunder in any currency (the “ first currency ”)

is of the essence and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any other currency (the “ second currency ”) except to the extent to which such tender or recovery shall result in the effective receipt by the applicable Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent of the full amount of the first currency payable, and accordingly the primary obligation of each Guarantor shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovery in the second currency of the amount (if any) by which such effective receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the full currency payable and shall not be affected by a judgment being obtained for any other sum due hereunder.

SECTION 26. Keepwell . Each Qualified ECP Guarantor (as defined below) hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Specified Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 26 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 26 or otherwise under this Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 26 shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 26 constitute, and this Section 26 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. As used herein, “ Qualified ECP Guarantor ” means, in respect of any Specified Swap Obligation, each Guarantor that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant Guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes or would become effective with respect to such Specified Swap Obligation or such other Person as constitutes an ECP and can cause another Person to qualify as an ECP at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SECTION 27. Counterparts . This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Guaranty by telecopy, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guaranty. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Guaranty and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 28. Amendment and Restatement of Existing Guarantees; Reaffirmation of Existing Guarantors . This Guaranty amends and restates in its entirety each Existing Guaranty; provided that this Guaranty is in no way intended to constitute a novation of any obligations owed by any Existing Guarantor to the Guaranteed Parties under any such Existing Guaranty, all of which are hereby reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed.

Execution Version
AFFILIATE GUARANTY
THIS AFFILIATE GUARANTY (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “ Guaranty ”) is made as of May 9, 2016 by and among Weatherford International plc, an Irish public limited company (the “ Parent ”) and each of the Subsidiaries of the Parent listed on the signature pages hereto (the Parent and each such listed Subsidiary, each an “ Initial Guarantor ”) and those additional Subsidiaries of the Parent that become parties to this Guaranty by executing a supplement hereto (a “ Guaranty Supplement ”) in the form attached hereto as Annex I (such additional Subsidiaries, together with the Initial Guarantors, the “ Guarantors ”), in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “ Administrative Agent ”), for the benefit of itself and the other holders of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below) (all such holders, the “ Guaranteed Parties ”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement (as defined below).
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, Weatherford International Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“ WIL-Bermuda ”), the Parent, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as Lenders (collectively, the “ Lenders ”) and the Administrative Agent have entered into that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of May 4, 2016 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Credit Agreement ”), which provides, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for Loans to be made by the Lenders to the Borrower on the Effective Date;
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the Effective Date under the Credit Agreement and to each Lender’s obligation to make its Loan to the Borrower thereunder on the terms therein that each of the Guarantors execute and deliver this Guaranty, whereby each of the Guarantors, without limitation and with full recourse, shall guarantee the payment and performance when due of all Guaranteed Obligations;
WHEREAS, without limitation or prejudice to any and all rights and remedies available to any Guaranteed Party against any Guarantor hereunder (or under any other Loan Document) on a joint and several liability basis, as fully set forth in the Loan Documents, the Guaranteed Parties acknowledge that the guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations by the Parent, the publicly-traded parent company and direct and indirect owner of all the WIL-Ireland Group’s assets and operations, provides the greatest economic protection to the Guaranteed Parties in the case of an Event of Default; and
WHEREAS, in consideration of the direct and indirect financial and other support and benefits that the Borrower has provided, and such direct and indirect financial and other support and benefits as the Borrower may in the future provide, to the Guarantors, and in consideration for the increased ability of each Guarantor, as an Affiliate of the Borrower, to benefit from the Loans made to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the flexibility provided by the Credit Agreement for each Guarantor to do so, and in order to induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into the Credit Agreement, and to make the Loans to the Borrower on the Effective Date on the terms described in the Credit Agreement, each of the Guarantors is willing to guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1     Representations, Warranties and Covenants . Each of the Guarantors represents and warrants to each Lender and the Administrative Agent as of the date of this Guaranty, giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents on the Effective Date that:


ACTIVE 214691688v.5
Affiliate Guarantee
Term Loan Agreement



(a)    Such Guarantor (i) is a company, corporation, partnership, unlimited liability company or entity having limited liability that is duly organized (or in the case of any English, Australian, British Virgin Islands or Bermuda Guarantor, duly incorporated) or formed, validly existing and, to the extent applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, (ii) has the corporate, partnership or other power and authority to own its property and to carry on its business as now conducted and (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would, together with all such other failures of the Guarantors to be so qualified or in good standing, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)    Such Guarantor has the corporate or other power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the Transactions, and all such action has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or other proceedings on its part or on its behalf.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be due and payable in the same currency as such Guaranteed Obligation is denominated, but if currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country that issues such currency with the result that such currency (the “ Original Currency ”) no longer exists or the relevant Guarantor is not able to make payment in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by such Guarantor hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent (as of the date of payment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that each Guarantor takes all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.

SECTION 5.     General Waivers; Additional Waivers .

(a)     General Waivers . Each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand or action on delinquency, protest, the benefit of any statutes of limitations and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein or under the other Loan Documents, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person.

of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that Payment in Full has occurred) of the other Guarantors or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Guarantors in respect thereof;

(iv) (a) any rights to assert against the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the other Guarantors or any other party liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties; (b) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (c) any defense such Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right such Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by reason of: (1) the impairment or suspension of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Guaranteed Parties’ rights or remedies against the other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; (2) the alteration by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties of the Guaranteed Obligations; (3) any discharge of the other Guarantors’ obligations to the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties by operation of law as a result of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Guaranteed Parties’ intervention or omission; or (4) the acceptance by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties of anything in partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (d) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; and

(v) any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (a) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Parties; or (b) any election by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties under the Bankruptcy Code, to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against the Guarantors.

The reference to certain provisions of California law is not intended to imply any application of California law to this Guaranty.

SECTION 6.     Subordination of Subrogation . Until Payment in Full, the Guarantors (a) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to such Guaranteed Obligations and (b) waive any right to enforce any remedy which any of the Guaranteed Parties or the Administrative Agent now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person and until such time the Guarantors waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or other collateral given to the Guaranteed

Parties to secure the payment and/or performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to the Guaranteed Parties. Should any Guarantor have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights prior to Payment in Full, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (i) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off that such Guarantor may have to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations until Payment in Full and (ii) waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until Payment in Full. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty (or any rights and obligations among or against any other Guarantor or the Borrower upon Payment in Full), and that the Administrative Agent, the Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 6 .

SECTION 7.      Contribution with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations .

(a)    To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a Guarantor Payment and in the absence of any other express written agreement among one or more Obligors then, following Payment in Full, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by:

(i)    WIL-Ireland within sixty (60) days after written demand by the Guarantor for its Guaranty Loss Amount; then

(ii)    if WIL-Ireland fails to satisfy its obligations, in whole or in part, under (i) above, WWH within thirty (30) days after written demand by the Guarantor for its Guaranty Loss Amount (such demand only being made after the time period in (i) above has elapsed); then

(iii)    to the extent WIL-Ireland and WWH fail to satisfy their obligations, in whole or in part, under (i) and (ii) above, each Specified Guarantor, based upon the ratio of each such other Specified Guarantor’s Allocable Amount to the aggregate of all Specified Guarantors’ Allocable Amounts, within fifteen (15) days after written demand by the Specified Guarantor for its Guaranty Loss Amount (such demand only being made after the time periods in (i) and (ii) above have elapsed) after, for such calculation purposes, netting amounts that would otherwise be payable by and among any two Specified Guarantors.
It is the intent of the parties that WIL-Ireland and WWH will fully satisfy their obligations if called upon under this Section 7 , and both WIL-Ireland and WWH hereby agree to take all reasonable actions to do so including, without limitation, selling assets, liquidating subsidiaries and otherwise obtaining funding (to the extent available). If a Guarantor fails to satisfy its respective obligation, in whole or in part, in the time period prescribed, for the benefit of the other Guarantors, the provisions of this Section 7 will be applied eliminating, in whole or in part, the nonperforming Guarantor. For the avoidance of doubt, no Guarantor shall be relieved of any obligations under this Section 7 in the event it fails to satisfy its respective obligations to any other Guarantor; rather, each such Guarantor that makes a contribution and indemnification payment shall be entitled to seek recovery from any other Guarantors that failed to fulfill their obligations hereunder; provided, however, (i) WIL-Ireland shall not have a claim for a Guaranty Loss Amount against any other Guarantor, (ii) WWH shall not have a claim for a Guaranty Loss Amount against any Guarantor other than WIL-Ireland, and (iii) a Specified Guarantor shall not have a claim for a Guaranty Loss Amount against any Guarantor other than WIL-Ireland, WWH, or another Specified Guarantor.

(b)    As used in this Section 7 the following terms shall have the following meaning:

(i)    “ Allocable Amount ” means, with respect to any Person, the amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of its property over the total liabilities of such Person determined as of the Effective Date; provided , however , Allocable Amount will be adjusted as and when agreed between the parties to take into account Persons who become or cease to be Specified Guarantors after the Effective Date;

(ii)    “ Guaranty Loss Amount ” means the monetary value of any and all claims, damages, costs, expenses or other losses (plus arm’s-length interest on such value) incurred or suffered by a Guarantor as a result of making a Guarantor Payment after taking into account any contributions, reimbursements or other payments received from any other Person (including under this Section 7 ) with respect to such Guarantor Payment;

(iii)    “ Guarantor Payment ” means a payment (which shall include any amounts setoff pursuant to Section 17 ) under this Guaranty or the taking or use of any Collateral under any other Loan Document; and

(iv)    “ Specified Guarantor ” means any Guarantor other than WIL-Ireland and WWH.

(c)    This Section 7 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty.

(d)    The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(e)    The rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 7 shall be exercisable upon Payment in Full, and are intended to reflect the concept of indemnity and contribution among guarantors of an obligation that would otherwise exist under New York law. Nothing in this Section 7, however, shall negate or otherwise modify the rights of subrogation of a Guarantor against a Borrower.

SECTION 8.     Certain Limitation of Guaranty . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary the amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Guarantor may have under this Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account.

SECTION 9.     Luxembourg Limitations .

(a)    The payment obligation of any Luxembourg Guarantor for the obligations of any other Guarantor that is not a Subsidiary of such Luxembourg Guarantor, shall be limited at any time, with no double counting, to an aggregate amount not exceeding the higher of:

Each party hereto agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Guaranty or any other Loan Document (including this Section 17 ) shall affect any right that any Guaranteed Party may otherwise have to bring any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document against any Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(d) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section.

(f) Each Guarantor agrees that any suit, action or proceeding brought by any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document against any Guaranteed Party or any Affiliate of a Guaranteed Party shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or the state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the event the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction), and any appellate court from any thereof, unless no such court shall accept jurisdiction.

(g) The Administrative Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or the state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the event the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.

by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court

(i) To the extent that any Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

(j) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 18.     No Strict Construction . The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Guaranty. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Guaranty shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Guaranty.

SECTION 19.     Taxes, Expenses of Enforcement, Etc.

(a)     Taxes .

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of a Guarantor hereunder or under any promissory note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if such Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) such Guarantor shall make such deductions and (C) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(ii) As soon as practical after any payment of Indemnified or Other Taxes by any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(iii) The Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the each Recipient, within twenty (20) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by

Term Loan Agreement



such Recipient on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of a Guarantor hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that the Guarantors shall not be liable for any penalties, interest or expenses that result from the failure of the Recipient to notify the Guarantors of the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes within a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such Indemnified or Other Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Guarantors by a Recipient shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.

(iv) By accepting the benefits hereof, each Recipient agrees that it will comply with Section 4.02 of the Credit Agreement as if it were a Lender.

(v) If the Administrative Agent or a Recipient determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes paid by a Guarantor or with respect to which such Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 19, it shall pay over such refund to the Guarantor (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Guarantor under this Section 19 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Guarantor, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Recipient, agrees to repay promptly the amount paid over to the Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such amount) to the Administrative Agent or such Recipient in the event the Administrative Agent or such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Guarantor or any other Person.

(b)     Expenses of Enforcement, Etc . The Guarantors agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties for any reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party in connection with the collection and enforcement of amounts due under the Loan Documents, including without limitation this Guaranty, to the extent such costs and expenses are reimbursable pursuant to the terms of Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement unless otherwise agreed in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 20.     Setoff . If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations have become due and payable (by acceleration or otherwise), each Credit Party and the Administrative Agent may, without notice to any Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, set off and apply toward the payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated at any time held) and other obligations at any time owing by such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent or any of their Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all the Guaranteed Obligations, irrespective of whether or not such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand under this Guaranty. The rights of each Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent may have.

SECTION 21.     Financial Information . Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, the other Guarantors and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that none of the Guaranteed Parties or the Administrative Agent shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to any of them regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Guarantor, such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to such Guarantor.

SECTION 22.     Severability . Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

SECTION 23.     Merger . This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 24.     Headings . Section headings in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and shall not govern the interpretation of any provision of this Guaranty.

SECTION 25.     Judgment Currency . The obligation of each Guarantor to make payments on any Obligation to the Lenders or to the Administrative Agent hereunder in any currency (the “ first currency ”) is of the essence and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any other currency (the “ second currency ”) except to the extent to which such tender or recovery shall result in the effective receipt by the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent of the full amount of the first currency payable, and accordingly the primary obligation of each Guarantor shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovery in the second currency of the amount (if any) by which such effective receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the full currency payable and shall not be affected by a judgment being obtained for any other sum due hereunder.

SECTION 26.     Keepwell . Each Qualified ECP Guarantor (as defined below) hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Specified Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 26 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 26 or otherwise under this Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 26 shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 26 constitute, and this Section 26 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each

other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. As used herein, “ Qualified ECP Guarantor ” means, in respect of any Specified Swap Obligation, each Guarantor that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant Guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes or would become effective with respect to such Specified Swap Obligation or such other Person as constitutes an ECP and can cause another Person to qualify as an ECP at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SECTION 27.     Counterparts . This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Guaranty by telecopy, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guaranty. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Guaranty and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
