(d) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

(e) For purposes of calculating the Dollar Equivalent of (i) any Loan or Borrowing denominated in the Optional Currency outstanding at any time during any period, (ii) any Loan denominated in the Optional Currency at the time of the making of such Loan pursuant to Section 2.1 and (iii) any other amount denominated in a Master Trust Approved Currency, the Administrative Agent will at least once during each calendar month and on or prior to the date of any Borrowing and the last day of any Interest Period and at such other times as it in its sole discretion decides to do so or as otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, determine the respective rate of exchange into Dollars of the Optional Currency or such other Master Trust Approved Currency (which rate of exchange shall be based upon the Rate of Exchange in effect on the date of such determination).  Such rate of exchange so determined on each such determination date shall, for purposes of the calculations described in the preceding sentence, be deemed to remain unchanged and in effect until the next such determination date.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in the other Loan Documents, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be made, and prepared:

    (i) in accordance with GAAP (including principles of consolidation where appropriate), and all accounting or financial terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms by GAAP; provided, however, that all accounting terms used in Section 5.2 below (and all defined terms used in the definition of any accounting term used in Section 5.2 below) shall have the meaning given to such terms (and defined terms) under GAAP as in effect on the date hereof applied on a basis consistent with those used in preparing the financial statements referred to in Section 3.15 below.  In the event of any change after the date hereof in GAAP, and if such change would affect the computation of any of the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.2 below, then the parties hereto agree to endeavor, in good faith, to agree upon an amendment to this Agreement that would adjust such financial covenants in a manner that would preserve the original intent thereof, but would allow compliance therewith to be determined in accordance with the Borrower’s financial statements at the time, provided that, until so amended such financial covenants shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein; and

    (ii) without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of BLFC, BFE, BAFC, the Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent a change in GAAP occurs (whether or not such change is, as of the date hereof, already scheduled to occur after the date hereof) which results in operating leases being treated or classified as capital leases or which reclassifies capital leases using different terminology (e.g., as “finance leases”), such change shall not be given effect under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in any computation of financial covenants), and the Borrower, the Guarantor and any of their respective Subsidiaries shall continue to provide financial reporting which differentiates between operating leases and capital leases, in each case in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date hereof.

1.3 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification.  The interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate.  The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market.  In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 2.11(b) of this Agreement, such Section 2.11(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.11, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.11(b), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans in either the Base Currency or, solely with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, the Optional Currency to the Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount at any one time outstanding which does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment.  The Borrower shall not request and no Lender shall be required to make any Loan if, after making such Loan, the Total Loans would exceed the Total Commitments then in effect.  During the Commitment Period the Borrower may use the Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.  Subject to Section 2.11, each Loan shall be either an ABR Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.7.  Except as provided in Section 2.3(f), the Borrower shall repay all outstanding Loans not later than the Final Termination Date.

(b) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may request from time to time that the aggregate Commitments hereunder be increased by an aggregate amount not to exceed $200,000,000.  The Borrower may (I) request one or more of the Lenders to increase the amount of its Commitment (which request shall be in writing and sent to the Administrative Agent to forward to such Lender or Lenders) and/or (II) arrange for one or more banks or financial institutions not a party hereto (an “Other Lender”) to become parties to and Lenders under this Agreement, provided that the identification and arrangement of each Other Lender to become a party hereto and a Lender under this Agreement shall be made in consultation with the Administrative Agent.  In no event may any Lender’s Commitment be increased without the prior written consent of such Lender, and the failure of any Lender to respond to the Borrower’s request for an increase shall be deemed a rejection by such Lender of the Borrower’s request.  The aggregate Commitments of all Lenders hereunder may not be increased if, at the time of any proposed increase hereunder, a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to increase the amount of its Commitment, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Commitment.

   (ii) If any Lender is willing, in its sole and absolute discretion, to increase the amount of its Commitment hereunder (such a Lender hereinafter referred to as an “Increasing Lender”), it shall enter into a written agreement to that effect with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “Commitment Increase Supplement”), which agreement shall specify, among other things, the amount of the increased Commitment of such Increasing Lender.  Upon the effectiveness of such Increasing Lender’s increase in Commitment, Schedule 1.1 shall, without further action, be deemed to have been amended appropriately to reflect the increased Commitment of such Increasing Lender.  Any Other Lender which is willing to become a party hereto and a Lender hereunder (and which arrangement to become a party hereto and a Lender hereunder has been consulted by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent) shall enter into a written agreement with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit G (an “Additional Lender Supplement”), which agreement shall specify, among other things, its Commitment hereunder.  When such Other Lender becomes a Lender hereunder as set forth in the Additional Lender Supplement, Schedule 1.1 shall, without further action, be deemed to have been amended as appropriate to reflect the Commitment of such Other Lender.  Upon the execution by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Other Lender of such Additional Lender Supplement, such Other Lender shall become and be deemed a party hereto and a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes hereof and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations on the part of the Lenders set forth in this Agreement, and its Commitment shall be the amount specified in its Additional Lender Supplement.  Each Other Lender which executes and delivers an Additional Lender Supplement and becomes a party hereto and a “Lender” hereunder pursuant to such Additional Lender Supplement is hereinafter referred to as an “Additional Lender.”

   (iii) In no event shall an increase in a Lender’s Commitment or the Commitment of an Other Lender become effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received an acknowledgement and consent from the Guarantor that the Guaranty Agreement remains valid and enforceable.  In no event shall an increase in a Lender’s Commitment or the Commitment of an Other Lender which results in the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders hereunder exceeding the amount which is authorized at such time in resolutions previously delivered to the Administrative Agent become effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received a copy of the resolutions, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the Board of Directors of the Guarantor authorizing the borrowings by the Borrower contemplated pursuant to such increase, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Guarantor.  Upon the effectiveness of the increase in a Lender’s Commitment or the Commitment of an Other Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and execution by an Increasing Lender of a Commitment Increase Supplement or by an Additional Lender of an Additional Lender Supplement, the Borrower shall make such borrowing from such Increasing Lender or Additional Lender, and/or shall make such prepayment of outstanding Loans, as shall be required to cause the aggregate outstanding Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Loans owing to each Lender (including each such Increasing Lender and Additional Lender) to be proportional to such Lender’s share of the aggregate Commitments hereunder after giving effect to any increase thereof.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense incurred as a result of any such prepayment in accordance with Section 2.15, as applicable.

    (iv)               No Other Lender may become an Additional Lender unless an Additional Lender Supplement (or counterparts thereof) has been signed by such bank or financial institution and which Additional Lender Supplement has been agreed to and acknowledged by the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent.  No consent of any Lender or acknowledgment of any of the other Lenders hereunder shall be required therefor.  In no event shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased by reason of any bank or financial institution becoming an Additional Lender, or otherwise, but the aggregate Commitments hereunder shall be increased by the amount of each Additional Lender’s Commitment.  Upon any Lender entering into a Commitment Increase Supplement or any Additional Lender becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent shall notify each other Lender thereof and shall deliver to each Lender a copy of the Additional Lender Supplement executed by such Additional Lender and agreed to and acknowledged by the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and the Commitment Increase Supplement executed by such Increasing Lender and agreed to and acknowledged by the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent.

2.2 Procedure for Loan Borrowing.  The Borrower may borrow under the Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by (a) the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Base Currency, (b) the Administrative Agent (London Office) prior to 10:00 A.M., London time, four (4) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Optional Currency, or (c) the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans), specifying (i) the amount and Type of Loans to be borrowed, (ii) whether such Loans are to be denominated in the Base Currency or in the Optional Currency, (iii) the requested Borrowing Date and (iv) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the length of the initial Interest Period therefor.  Each borrowing under the Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount), (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Base Currency, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (z) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Optional Currency, EUR 5,000,000 or a whole multiple of EUR 1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.  Each Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time (the “Borrowing Time”), on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower, in each case in funds immediately available in Euros or Dollars, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent.  Such borrowing will then be made available at 2:00 P.M., New York City time on the Borrowing Date to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.  Should any such borrowing notice from the Borrower indicate an account on the books of another bank or financial institution, the Administrative Agent shall transfer the amounts described in such borrowing notice to such account within a reasonable period of time.

2.3 Extension Option.

(a) Extension Request.  (i)  The Borrower shall be entitled to request that the Original Termination Date be extended for an additional period of twelve (12) Months by giving notice (the “First Extension Request”) to the Administrative Agent not more than sixty (60) days nor less than thirty (30) days before any Anniversary prior to and including the Anniversary that occurs on the Original Termination Date.

   (ii) The Borrower shall be entitled to request that the Original Termination Date and/or the First Extension Termination Date be extended by giving notice (the “Second Extension Request”) to the Administrative Agent as set out below:

    (A)             with respect to Lenders who have agreed to the First Extension Request, the Borrower may deliver a Second Extension Request to the Administrative Agent not more than sixty (60) days nor less than thirty (30) days before any Anniversary occurring after the delivery of the First Extension Request up to and including the Anniversary that occurs on the First Extension Termination Date for an extension for a further period of twelve (12) Months; and/or

   (B)              with respect to Lenders who refused the First Extension Request, the Borrower may deliver a Second Extension Request to the Administrative Agent not more than sixty (60) nor less than thirty (30) days before any Anniversary occurring after the delivery of the First Extension Request up to and including the Anniversary that occurs on the Original Termination Date for an extension for a period of twenty-four (24) Months,

as selected by the Borrower in the notice to the Administrative Agent.

The First Extension Request and Second Extension Request are together referred to as “Extension Requests” and each as an “Extension Request”.

(b) Notification of Extension Request.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any Extension Request as soon as practicable after receipt of it.

(c) Lenders’ Response to Extension Request.  (i)  Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to any Extension Request (each such lender, a “Consenting Lender”) by providing notice to the Administrative Agent on or before the date falling fifteen (15) days before:

   (A)              in respect of a First Extension Request, the applicable Anniversary immediately following such First Extension Request; or

   (B)              in respect of a Second Extension Request, the applicable Anniversary immediately following such Second Extension Request.

    (ii)              The Commitment of each Consenting Lender will be extended for the period applicable to it and referred to in such Extension Request; provided that the Required Lenders have agreed to such extension.

   (A)             fails to reply to an Extension Request within the time period set out in paragraph (c); or

   (B)             declines an Extension Request by the date falling fifteen (15) days before the applicable Anniversary immediately following such Extension Request,

(in each case, a “Declining Lender”), its Commitment will not be extended.

(d) Form of Extension Request.  Each Extension Request shall be made in writing and be irrevocable.

(e) Replacement of Declining Lenders.  (i)  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable Anniversary immediately following such Extension Request of the details of which Lenders are Consenting Lenders and which Lenders are Declining Lenders.

    (ii)              If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of one or more Declining Lenders, the Borrower may, on fifteen (15) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent replace a Declining Lender by requiring such Declining Lender to (and such Declining Lender shall) transfer, pursuant to Section 8.6, all (and not only part) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Consenting Lender or another bank, financial institution, trust fund or other entity (to the extent not a Consenting Lender, a “Replacement Lender”) selected by the Borrower which is acceptable to the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably) which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of such Declining Lender for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer at least equal to the principal amount of such Declining Lender’s participation in outstanding Loans under this Agreement and all accrued interest, costs and other amounts then due to the Declining Lender at such time.

   (iii)             The replacement of a Declining Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(e) shall be subject to the following conditions:

       (A)             none of the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger or any Lender shall have any obligation to find a Replacement Lender;

      (B)             such replacement must take place by no later than the Original Termination Date or the First Extension Termination Date (as applicable);

       (C)             in no event shall the relevant Declining Lender be required to pay or surrender to the relevant Replacement Lender any of the fees or other amounts received by such Declining Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents prior to the date of such replacement; and

      (D)            any Assignment and Acceptance executed by the relevant Declining Lender and the relevant Replacement Lender shall include a confirmation from the Replacement Lender that it has agreed to the extension of the Original Termination Date or the First Extension Termination Date, as applicable, requested by the Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.3.

(f) Reduction of Facility.  If, with respect to any Extension Request, (i) the Required Lenders agree to such extension, (ii) there are any Declining Lenders and (iii) such Declining Lenders cannot be replaced pursuant to Section 2.3(e), then all outstanding principal, interest and other amounts payable to the Declining Lenders shall be repaid on the then current Final Termination Date and the Total Commitments will be automatically reduced by each such Declining Lender’s Commitment on the then current Final Termination Date applicable to such Declining Lender once such repayment has been made.

(g) Extension of the Facility.  The then current Final Termination Date of this Agreement will be extended to the First Extension Termination Date or, as the case may be, the Second Extension Termination Date, in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of the aggregate Commitments of the Consenting Lenders (together with the aggregate Commitments of the Replacement Lenders, if applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate Commitments in respect of which the Final Termination Date has been extended under this clause shall not exceed the Total Commitments.

(h) Limitations.  No more than two Extension Requests may be given.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Final Termination Date cannot extend beyond the date falling eighty-four (84) Months after the Closing Date.  In addition, no extension pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be effective unless the Required Lenders are Consenting Lenders with respect to such extension.

(i)   Conditions Precedent to Each Extension.  The extension of the Commitment of each Consenting Lender shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:

    (i) Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date of extension; provided that, the representations and warranties made in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.9, 3.13, 3.14 and 3.15 shall be true and correct in all respects as of such date of extension.

   (ii) No Series 2002-1 Early Amortization Event, Potential Series 2002-1 Early Amortization Event or Event of Default.  No Series 2002-1 Early Amortization Event, Potential Series 2002-1 Early Amortization Event or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of such date of extension.

2.4 Commitment Fees, etc.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender that is not a Performing Lender) a commitment fee in Dollars for the period from and including the date hereof to the last day of the Commitment Period, computed at a rate per annum equal to for each day during such period the Commitment Fee Rate on such day, on the amount of the Available Commitment of such Lender on such day, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

2.5 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.  The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Loans would exceed the Total Commitments.  Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to at least $1,000,000 or any larger whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect.

2.6 Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than (i) 10:00 A.M., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Base Currency, (ii) 10:00 A.M., New York City time, four (4) Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Optional Currency and (iii) 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date thereof, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Base Currency or Optional Currency or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.  If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.  Partial prepayments of Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 (with respect to ABR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Base Currency) or EUR 1,000,000 (with respect to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Optional Currency) or a whole multiple thereof.

(b) If, on any day, the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans hereunder and Pari Passu Indebtedness (after converting all such amounts into the then Dollar Equivalent thereof) exceeds the then current Series 2002-1 Invested Amount outstanding under the Series 2002-1 VFC (after giving effect to any increases or decreases therein on such day), the Borrower shall prepay Loans and/or Pari Passu Indebtedness in an amount sufficient to comply with Section 5.2(a).  Any such prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15.

(c) If, on any date, the Total Loans outstanding on such date exceed the Total Commitments in effect on such date, the Borrower immediately shall prepay the Loans in the amount of such excess.  Any such prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15.

2.7 Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Base Currency to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Base Currency by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the fourth (4th) Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, any such Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Base Currency shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period, and any such Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Optional Currency shall as of the last day of such then expiring Interest Period bear interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent determines adequately reflects the costs (including a comparable margin to that set forth herein) to the Lenders of maintaining such Loans.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.8 Limitations on Eurocurrency Borrowings.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurocurrency Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, (a) the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Base Currency comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing in the Base Currency shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (b) the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the Optional Currency comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing in the Optional Currency shall be equal to EUR 5,000,000 or a whole multiple of EUR 1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (c) no more than fifteen (15) Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.9 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate determined for such day plus (ii) the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the ABR plus (with the following amount in no event to be less than zero) (ii) the Applicable Margin minus one percent (1%).

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default all outstanding Loans (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2%.  If all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder (other than any amount to which the preceding sentence is applicable) shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2% from the date of such non‑payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.10              Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of an Adjusted LIBO Rate.  Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Statutory Reserve Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Sections 2.9(a) and (b).

2.11              Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

(a)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if prior to the first day of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in any currency:

    (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for the applicable currency and for any requested Interest Period, including because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis, or

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any Eurocurrency Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans (if such Borrowing is requested to be made in the Base Currency) or shall be made as a Eurocurrency Loan bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent determines adequately reflects the costs to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Borrowing (if such Borrowing is requested to be made in the Optional Currency), (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans (if such Loans are denominated in the Base Currency) or as Loans bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent determines adequately reflects the costs to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans (if such Loans are denominated in the Optional Currency) and (z) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans (if such Loans are denominated in the Base Currency) or as Loans bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent determines adequately reflects the costs to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans (if such Loans are denominated in the Optional Currency).  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurocurrency Loans.

(b)         If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or the Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but either (x) the administrator or the supervisor of the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Screen Rate or (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Screen Rate);

then reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any change that would result in a reduction of the Applicable Margin), giving due consideration to the then prevailing market for similar syndicated credit facilities in the United States for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBO Successor Rate”). Any such change in the LIBO Successor Rate, together with any such other related changes and any such amendment shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.1, become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Required Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, the Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

(c)         If no LIBO Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (a)(i) or (b) of this Section exist (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (b)(ii) of the first sentence of paragraph (b), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), clauses (x), (y) and (z) of paragraph (a) of this Section shall be applicable.   Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans or Interest Periods).

(d) Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBO Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBO Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

2.12              Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitments of the Lenders.  Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.3(f) and 2.18(b), any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitments of the Lenders.  Each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee with respect to any period shall be made pro rata according to the respective average daily Available Commitments of the Lenders for such period; provided, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any commitment fee owed to a Lender with respect to any period during which such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and such Defaulting Lender’s Available Commitment shall not be included in the calculation of the commitment fees owed to the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders during such period, unless in either case such Lender remains a Performing Lender during such period.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.3(f) and 2.18(b), each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the then Dollar Equivalent of the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders.

(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in immediately available funds.  Payments and prepayments of principal of and interest on Loans denominated in the Optional Currency shall be made in the Optional Currency; payments and prepayments of all other amounts hereunder shall be made in the Base Currency.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.  In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the Borrowing Time on a Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing on such date available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be so required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on such Borrowing Date, and if the Administrative Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the Borrower, then such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the NYFRB Rate and (ii) a rate

determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If the Administrative Agent makes such Lender’s share of such borrowing available to the Borrower, and if such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, on demand, from the Borrower.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make a Loan on such Borrowing Date pursuant to the provisions contained herein, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on any Borrowing Date.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average NYFRB Rate.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

2.13              Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof (a “Change in Law”):

    (i) shall subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Loan Document;

    (ii)              shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate; or

    (iii)              shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than six Months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-Month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d)              Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Requirements of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

2.14             Taxes.

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes; provided, that if any Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Agent, (x) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (y) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof, a copy of the tax return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after receiving demand therefor, for the full amount of (i) any Indemnified Taxes that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, together with all reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to 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 (d).

(e) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(f) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “United States person” (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) on or about the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent whichever of the following is applicable:

(g) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(h) A Lender (or participant) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which 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 or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender (or participant) is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s (or participant’s) reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender (or participant).

(i) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this paragraph (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.  The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that, for purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, this Agreement does not qualify as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(j) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(k) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to Indemnified 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 agrees to pay, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the amount paid over to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (i) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i) 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This Section 2.14(i) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or a Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower.

(l)  The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.15             Indemnity.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto as the result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(a); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify a Defaulting Lender that is not a Performing Lender for any such loss or expense (incurred while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender) related to the prepayment or assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan owed to such Defaulting Lender.  Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market.  A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.16              Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.13 or 2.14(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a).

2.17              Illegality.  If, after the date of this Agreement, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority shall, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to any Lender, make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loan, then such Lender may, by notice to the Borrower (with notice to the Administrative Agent), immediately declare that such Eurocurrency Loan shall be due and payable.  The Borrower shall repay any such Eurocurrency Loan declared so due and payable in full on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or earlier if required by law, together with accrued interest thereon.  Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which such Lender has knowledge which would entitle it to repayment pursuant to this Section 2.17 and will use its reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of any event if, in the sole and absolute opinion of such Lender, such efforts will avoid the need for such prepayment and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

2.18             Replacement of Lenders.  (a)   The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a) with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.16 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, in immediately available funds, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.15 if any Eurocurrency Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (viii) the Borrower shall remain liable to such replaced Lender for all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a), as the case may be.

(a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Defaulting Lender with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, in immediately available funds, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.  To the extent the Borrower is unable to replace any Defaulting Lender with a replacement financial institution, the Borrower may, to the extent that the reduction in the Total Commitments provided for in this sentence does not cause the Total Commitments to fall below the outstanding Loans, remove such Defaulting Lender by repaying such Defaulting Lender’s outstanding Loans and reducing the Total Commitments by an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.

2.19              Judgment Currency

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.  The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

3.1 No Change.  Since December 31, 2017, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.2 Existence; Compliance with Law.  The Borrower (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except where the failure to be so duly qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.3 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.  The Borrower has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to obtain Loans hereunder.  The Borrower has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to authorize the Loans on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the Loans hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party, except consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 3.3, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect.  Each Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower.  This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party, upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

3.4 No Legal Bar.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than any Borrower Permitted Lien) on any of the Borrower’s properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation.  No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.5 Litigation.  No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or against any of its properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.6 No Default.  The Borrower is not in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

3.7 Ownership of Property; Liens.  The Borrower has good title to all its property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien other than Borrower Permitted Liens.

3.8 Taxes.  The Borrower has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any taxes, fees or other charges the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower).  No tax Lien (other than any Borrower Permitted Lien) has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

3.9 Federal Regulations.  No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the applicable margin regulations of the Board.  If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U‑1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.

3.10             Investment Company Act; Other Regulations.  The Borrower is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The Borrower is not subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

3.11              No Subsidiaries.  The Borrower has no direct or indirect Subsidiaries.

3.12             Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely to either (i) prepay the total amount outstanding under the Existing Credit Facility, (ii) make advances under the Series 2002‑1 VFC, (iii) repay Permitted Indebtedness outstanding from time to time or (iv) pay expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and any Pari Passu Indebtedness.

3.13             Solvency.  Each Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith and therewith will be and will continue to be, Solvent.

3.14             Limited Purpose.  The Borrower is a single purpose entity that was formed for the sole purpose of (i) holding the Series 2002-1 VFC, (ii) borrowing under the Commitments hereunder, (iii) incurring Pari Passu Indebtedness and (iv) entering into Hedge Agreements in connection with the Commitments hereunder and such Pari Passu Indebtedness.  Other than cash derived from Hedge Agreements and distributions of Series 2002-1 Accrued Interest and Series 2002-1 Invested Amount to the Borrower under the Series 2002-1 VFC, which cash shall be used by the Borrower solely to make interest, principal and premium (if any) payments under this Agreement and under any Pari Passu Indebtedness and to pay for its reasonable operating expenses (and, in the case of cash derived from Hedge Agreements, to make advances under the Series 2002-1 VFC), the Series 2002-1 VFC is the sole asset of the Borrower.

3.15             Financial Condition; Beneficial Ownership Certification.  The balance sheet of the Borrower as at December 31, 2017 and the related statements of income for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by the Borrower’s independent public accountants, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative Agent, are complete and correct, in all material respects, and present fairly the financial condition of the Borrower as at such date, and the results of operations for the fiscal year then ended.  Such financial statements, including any related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the external auditors and as disclosed therein, if any).  As of the Closing Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification of the Borrower is true, complete and correct.

3.17              Sanctions.

(a) The Borrower is, to the extent applicable, in compliance with Sanctions and with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”) and any other applicable anti-corruption law, in all material respects.

(b) The Borrower is not, and no director or senior officer of the Borrower is, any of the following:

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in paragraph (g) above with respect to the Borrower or the Guarantor, then in such case automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, any or all of the following actions may be taken:  (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable; and (iii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, instruct the Borrower to, and in such event the Borrower shall, instruct the Trustee of the Master Trust to declare the principal and accrued interest in respect of the Purchased Loans to be due and payable (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if it fails to give such instructions, the Administrative Agent may do so on its behalf).  Except as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

7.1 Appointment.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.   Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

7.2 Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys‑in‑fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in‑fact selected by it with reasonable care.

7.3 Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‑in‑fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

7.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Guarantor or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

7.5 Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, the Guarantor or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

7.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‑in‑fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‑in‑fact or Affiliates.

7.7 Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Guarantor or the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Guarantor or the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

7.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent.  With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

7.9 Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign, or shall resign upon the request of the Required Lenders in the event the Administrative Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender and is not a Performing Lender, as Administrative Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.  If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Sections 6(a), 6(e) or 6(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is ten (10) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 7.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

7.10 Syndication Agent, Lead Arrangers, Bookrunners and Documentation Agents.  Neither the Syndication Agent, Lead Arrangers, Bookrunners nor the Documentation Agents shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.  No Syndication Agent, Lead Arranger, Bookrunner or Documentation Agent shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender.

7.11         Agent Communications.  The Administrative Agent shall provide to each Lender a copy of each material report, certificate, statement or other communication required to be delivered to it under the Loan Documents and which has not been delivered to the Lenders; provided, that posting by the Administrative Agent to Intralinks or to a similar electronic distribution location shall satisfy the requirements of this Section.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any 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.

7.12         Certain ERISA Matters.  (a)  Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

    (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans or the Commitments;

    (ii)             the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, and the conditions for exemptive relief thereunder are and will continue to be satisfied in connection therewith;

    (iii)            (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

    (iv)            such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and each other Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, or any Lead Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).

(c) The Administrative Agent, and each Lead Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

8.1 Amendments and Waivers.  (a)   Subject to Section 2.11(b), neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.1.  The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (w) reduce (by way of forgiveness or otherwise) the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan,

 reduce the amount or stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (1) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and (2) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (w)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, or increase any Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (x) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender, or otherwise amend any provisions, under this Section 8.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (y) waive any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, amend or waive Section 5.1(k), or release the Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement, or assign any obligations under the Guaranty Agreement, effect any action pursuant to Section 17 of the Guaranty Agreement, or change any provision hereof requiring ratable funding or ratable sharing of payments or setoffs or otherwise related to the pro rata treatment of Lenders, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; or (z) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 7 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, solely with respect to Section 7.10, the Documentation Agent(s) and Syndication Agent).  Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans.  In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.1(a), the Commitments and Aggregate Exposure of any Defaulting Lender that is not a Performing Lender shall be disregarded for all purposes of any determination of whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.1(a)), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

8.2 Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three (3) Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent in the case of the Lenders, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall not be effective until received.

8.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

8.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans hereunder.

8.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes.  The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out‑of‑pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the properties owned by such Group Members and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the

Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Indemnitee 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 to the extent that any such damages are determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, to result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee.  All amounts due under this Section 8.5 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand therefor.  Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be submitted to Rajat Gupta (Telephone No.  ###-###-####; Telecopy No.  ###-###-####), at the address of Bunge Limited set forth in Section 8.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent.  The agreements in this Section 8.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from a non-Tax claim.

8.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender and (ii) any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void.

(b) Any Lender other than any Conduit Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or a natural Person) (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, the Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except any amendment, waiver or consent described in clause (w) of the proviso to Section 8.1 that affects such Participant, in each case to the extent subject to such participation.  The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 8.7 as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder.  The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15

(and subject to the limitations thereof) with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.14, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of Section 2.14 (including the requirements under Sections 2.14(e), 2.14(f) and 2.14(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 2.14(e), 2.14(f) and 2.14(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) as if it was a Lender, and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 (as the case may be) than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments or Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, or Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(c) Any Lender other than any Conduit Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Person (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or a natural Person) (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, executed by such Assignee, such Assignor and any other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this paragraph, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that (i) the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and in the case of the Borrower shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded to a proposed assignment within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of notice of such proposed assignment) shall be required in the case of (x) any assignment to a Person that is not a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or (y) any assignment of a Commitment to a Person that is not a Lender or a Lender Affiliate (except that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs when either a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any Lender Affiliate) shall be in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of less than $5,000,000, in each case except in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement.  For purposes of the proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Lender Affiliates, if any.  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Lender hereunder without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.6(c).

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time, which Register shall be made available to the Borrower and any Lender upon reasonable request.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing the Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement.  Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide).  Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, and thereupon one or more new Notes shall be issued to the designated Assignee.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor, an Assignee and any other Person whose consent is required by Section 8.6(c), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $4,000 (such fee not payable with respect to assignments to an Assignor’s Affiliate and such fee not to be payable by the Borrower, except for an assignment pursuant to Section 2.18), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto.

(f)                For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 8.6 concerning assignments relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender to any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank in accordance with applicable law.

(g) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (f) above.

(h) Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

8.7 Adjustments; Set‑off.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders on a non pro rata basis, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set‑off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 6(g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Guarantor or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Guarantor and the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Guarantor or the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor or the Borrower, as the case may be.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
