In addition, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent reasonably requests that any party hereto manually execute this Amendment, or any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith, that has not been manually executed by such party, such party shall provide a manually executed original to the party making such request promptly following such request.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.

(a)    The Borrowing of the Incremental Term Loan under Section 3 of this Amendment shall be made on notice, given not later than 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof. Such notice of a Borrowing (a “ITL Notice of Borrowing”) shall be transmitted by facsimile or email in substantially the form of Exhibit A to this Amendment, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such Borrowing, (B) aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (C) wire instructions of the Borrower. Each Lender shall, before (x) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the Borrowing make available for the account of its Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Schedule III to this Amendment, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

(b)    Each ITL Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such ITL Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Schedule III to this Amendment, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired, or the termination of swaps or other hedging arrangements with respect to the interest rate risks associated with respect to the funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Incremental Term Loan to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing, when such Incremental Term Loan, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Schedule II and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower (following the Administrative Agent’s demand on such Lender for the corresponding amount) severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Incremental Term Loans made in connection with such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Incremental Term Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of the Credit Agreement.

(d)    The failure of any Lender to make the Incremental Term Loan to be made by it as part of the Borrowing on the Effective Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Incremental Term Loan on the Effective Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Incremental Term Loan to be made by such other Lender on the Effective Date.
