Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, US LC Issuer will, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Tranche B Lenders set forth in Section 2.3A(b), honor any such request if the foregoing conditions (a) through (g) (in the following Section 2.2A called the "TRB LC Conditions") have been met as of the date of issuance of such TRB Letter of Credit. US LC Issuer may choose to honor any such request for any other TRB Letter of Credit but has no obligation to do so and may refuse to issue any other requested TRB Letter of Credit for any reason which US LC Issuer in its sole discretion deems relevant. Section 2.2A. Requesting Letters of Credit. US Borrower must make written application for any TRB Letter of Credit at least three Business Days before the date on which US Borrower desires for US LC Issuer to issue such TRB Letter of Credit. By making any such written application US Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that the TRB LC Conditions described in Section 2.1A will be met as of the date of issuance of such TRB Letter of Credit. Each such written application for a TRB Letter of Credit must be made in writing in the form customarily used by the US LC Issuer, the terms and provisions of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference (or in such other form as may mutually be agreed upon by US LC Issuer and US Borrower). Two Business Days after the TRB LC Conditions for a TRB Letter of Credit have been met as described in Section 2.1A (or if US LC Issuer otherwise desires to issue such TRB Letter of Credit), US LC Issuer will issue such TRB Letter of Credit at US LC Issuer's office. If any provisions of any LC Application conflict with any provisions of this Agreement or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. Section 2.3A. Reimbursement and Participations. (a) Reimbursement by US Borrower. If the beneficiary of any TRB Letter of Credit issued hereunder makes a draft or other demand for payment thereunder, then Tranche B Loans that are US Base Rate Loans shall be made by Tranche B Lenders to US Borrower in the amount of such draft or demand notwithstanding the fact that one or more conditions precedent to the making of such US Base Rate Loans may not have been satisfied. Such US Base Rate Loans shall be made concurrently with US LC Issuer's payment of such draft or demand without any request therefor by US Borrower and shall 9 be immediately used by US LC Issuer to repay the amount of the resulting TRB Matured US LC Obligation. (b) Participation by Lenders. US LC Issuer irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Tranche B Lender, and to induce US LC Issuer to issue TRB Letters of Credit hereunder, each Tranche B Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from US LC Issuer, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated and for such Tranche B Lender's own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such Tranche B Lender's Tranche B Percentage Share of US LC Issuer's obligations and rights under each TRB Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each TRB Matured US LC Obligation paid by US LC Issuer thereunder. Each Tranche B Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with US LC Issuer that, if a TRB Matured US LC Obligation is paid under any TRB Letter of Credit issued hereunder for which US LC Issuer is not reimbursed in full, whether pursuant to Section 2.3A(a) above or otherwise, such Tranche B Lender shall (in all circumstances and without set-off or counterclaim) pay to US LC Issuer on demand, in immediately available funds at US LC Issuer's address for notices hereunder, such Tranche B Lender's Tranche B Percentage Share of such TRB Matured US LC Obligation (or any portion thereof which has not been reimbursed by US Borrower). Each Tranche B Lender's obligation to pay US LC Issuer pursuant to the terms of this subsection is irrevocable and unconditional. If any amount required to be paid by any Tranche B Lender to US LC Issuer pursuant to this subsection is paid by such Tranche B Lender to US LC Issuer within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, US LC Issuer shall in addition to such amount be entitled to recover from such Tranche B Lender, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Federal Funds Rate. If any amount required to be paid by any Tranche B Lender to US LC Issuer pursuant to this subsection is not paid by such Tranche B Lender to US LC Issuer within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, US LC Issuer shall in addition to such amount be entitled to recover from such Tranche B Lender, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Default Rate applicable to US Base Rate Loans. (c) Distributions to Participants. Whenever US LC Issuer has in accordance with this section received from any Tranche B Lender payment of such Tranche B Lender's Tranche B Percentage Share of any TRB Matured US LC Obligation, if US LC Issuer thereafter receives any payment of such TRB Matured US LC Obligation or any payment of interest thereon (whether directly from US Borrower or by application of TRB LC Collateral or otherwise, and excluding only interest for any period prior to US LC Issuer's demand that such Tranche B Lender make such payment of its Tranche B Percentage Share), US LC Issuer will distribute to such Tranche B Lender its Tranche B Percentage Share of the amounts so received by US LC Issuer; provided, however, that if any such payment received by US LC Issuer must thereafter be returned by US LC Issuer, such Tranche B Lender shall return to US LC Issuer the portion thereof which US LC Issuer has previously distributed to it. 10 (d) Calculations. A written advice setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts owing under this section, submitted by US LC Issuer to US Borrower or any Tranche B Lender from time to time, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amounts thereof. Section 2.4A. Letter of Credit Fees. In consideration of US LC Issuer's issuance of any TRB Letter of Credit, prior to the delivery of TRB LC Collateral pursuant to Section 2.6A(c) on the Tranche B Conversion Date, US Borrower agrees to pay (a) to US LC Issuer for its own account, a letter of credit fronting fee at a rate equal to 12.5 Basis Points per annum multiplied by the face amount of such TRB Letter of Credit, payable in arrears on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter and (b) to US Agent, for the account of all Tranche B Lenders in accordance with their respective Tranche B Percentage Shares, a letter of credit issuance fee calculated by applying the Applicable Margin for Tranche B Loans to the face amount of all TRB Letters of Credit outstanding on each day, payable in arrears on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter.

US LC Issuer is authorized and instructed to accept and pay drafts and demands for payment under any TRB Letter of Credit without requiring, and without responsibility for, any determination as to the existence of any event giving rise to said draft, either at the time of acceptance or payment or thereafter. US LC Issuer is under no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone presenting such a draft or making such a demand (whether by tested telex or otherwise) as the officer, representative or agent of any beneficiary under any TRB Letter of Credit, and payment by US LC Issuer to any such beneficiary when requested by any such purported officer, representative or agent is hereby authorized and approved. US Borrower releases each Lender Party from, and agrees to hold each Lender Party harmless and indemnified against, any liability or claim in connection with or arising out of the subject matter of this section, WHICH INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT ANY SUCH LIABILITY OR CLAIM IS IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY ANY LENDER PARTY, provided only that no Lender Party shall be entitled to indemnification for that portion, if any, of any liability or claim which is proximately caused by its own individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment. 11 (b) Extension of Maturity. If the maturity of any TRB Letter of Credit is extended by its terms or by Law or governmental action, if any extension of the maturity or time for presentation of drafts or any other modification of the terms of any TRB Letter of Credit is made at the request of any Restricted Person, or if the amount of any TRB Letter of Credit is increased at the request of any Restricted Person, this Agreement shall be binding upon all Restricted Persons with respect to such TRB Letter of Credit as so extended, increased or otherwise modified, with respect to drafts and property covered thereby, and with respect to any action taken by US LC Issuer, US LC Issuer's correspondents, or any Lender Party in accordance with such extension, increase or other modification. (c) Transferees of Letters of Credit. If any TRB Letter of Credit provides that it is transferable, US LC Issuer shall have no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone appearing as transferee of such TRB Letter of Credit, nor shall US LC Issuer be charged with responsibility of any nature or character for the validity or correctness of any transfer or successive transfers, and payment by US LC Issuer to any purported transferee or transferees as determined by US LC Issuer is hereby authorized and approved, and US Borrower releases each Lender Party from, and agrees to hold each Lender Party harmless and indemnified against, any liability or claim in connection with or arising out of the foregoing, WHICH INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT ANY SUCH LIABILITY OR CLAIM IS IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY ANY LENDER PARTY, provided only that no Lender Party shall be entitled to indemnification for that portion, if any, of any liability or claim which is proximately caused by its own individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment.
