2.02.Funding of the Loans.  Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments and, subject to Section 6.12(b), the Loans made hereunder by the Lenders shall be made on a Pro Rata Basis with the Other Margin Loans; provided that the failure of any Lender to make its Loan or the failure of any lender under the Other Margin Loan Documents to make Other Margin Loans shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder or any lender under the Other Margin Loan Documents of its obligation to lend thereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender or for the failure of any lender under any Other Margin Loan Document to make any Other Margin Loan required to be made by such lender); provided,  further, that in the event  that any Lender fails to make its Loan or any lender fails to make its loan under the Other Margin Loan Agreement, in each case, to the extent required to be made hereunder or thereunder, the Borrower may, in its discretion, request a borrowing of all or any portion of such amount(s) not so funded under this Agreement or the Other Margin Loan Agreement as a result of such failure (subject to Section 2.01 hereof and thereof and the other applicable conditions to borrowing hereunder and thereunder).  Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(a)Each Lender shall make the proceeds of the Loans to be funded by it available to the Administrative Agent who shall either (i) credit the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such proceeds or (ii) transfer by wire transfer such proceeds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(b)To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree to) prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing.  Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with this Section 2.02:

(i)that the requested Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Initial Loans or Delayed Draw Loans;

(ii)the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

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

(iv)the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed; and

(v)that the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 (solely in the case of the Initial Loans) and Sections 4.02(b) through (e) have been satisfied as of the date of the notice.  

Subject to Section 6.12(b), each request for a Delayed Draw Borrowing shall be made on a Pro Rata Basis with requests for delayed draw borrowings under the Other Margin Loan Documents.

2.03.Repayment of the Loans.  The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent on the Maturity Date, for the ratable account of the Lenders, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on such date together with all accrued interest thereon.  The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender its Ratable Share of such payment.

2.04.Voluntary Prepayments.  The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay the Loans in whole or in part (a “Voluntary Prepayment”) in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans being prepaid, (y) the applicable Prepayment Amount and (z) all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04;  provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., two (2) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment and (ii) any prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least the lesser of (A) $5,000,000 and (B) the entire principal amount of the Loans then outstanding.  Each such notice (a “Voluntary Prepayment Notice”) shall specify the date of such prepayment, the amount of principal being prepaid and the applicable Prepayment Amount determined as set forth in the definition thereof.  The Borrower shall make such prepayment, together with all accrued interest thereon and the related Prepayment Amount and any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04 on the date specified in such Voluntary Prepayment Notice, and all such amounts shall be due and payable on such date; provided that a Voluntary Prepayment Notice delivered by Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of certain events, including the closing of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower (by notice to Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such conditions are not satisfied.  Any Voluntary Prepayment described in this Section 2.04 shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender its Ratable Share of such payment.  All Voluntary Prepayments and Voluntary Prepayment Notices shall be made and given in accordance with Section 6.12.

2.05.Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)The Borrower shall prepay on the first Business Day following notice by Administrative Agent (a “Mandatory Prepayment Notice”) of the occurrence of a Mandatory Prepayment Event (which need not be continuing) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on such date together with all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04 and any applicable Prepayment Amount.  For purposes of the Mandatory Prepayment Notice and Section 10.02, (i) Borrower consents to the delivery of such notice by electronic communications and (ii) Borrower’s “normal business hours” shall be 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., New York City time, each Business Day.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that a Mandatory Prepayment Event occurs following any Potential Adjustment Event, Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event, then the Administrative Agent agrees not to send a Mandatory Prepayment Notice until such time as Calculation Agent has made

its determination as to the appropriate adjustments, if any, to be made to (i) the Minimum Price, (ii) the Maximum  Share Number and/or (iii) the Minimum ADTV Level.

(b)Any prepayment described in this Section 2.05 shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender its Ratable Share of such payment.

2.06.Interest and Fees

(a)Ordinary Interest.  The Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period from the first day of such period to the last day thereof at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Floating Rate for such Interest Period.  Accrued interest shall be payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for the Loans upon determination of such interest rate.

(b)(i) If any amount due and payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) the Floating Rate applicable to such amount and (y) 2.0% for each day until such amount and any interest thereon is paid in full.

(ii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c)Except as expressly provided herein, interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(d)Delayed Draw Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to each Delayed Draw Lender a commitment fee (the “Delayed Draw Commitment Fee”) equal to 0.25% (25 basis points) per annum on the average daily unused amount of each Delayed Draw Commitment of such Delayed Draw Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the earlier to occur of (x) the expiration of the Delayed Draw Availability Period and (y) the date on which such Delayed Draw Commitment terminates.  Accrued Delayed Draw Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on December 31, 2014 and (ii) on the date on which such Delayed Draw Commitment terminates.  Delayed Draw Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (including on the first day but excluding the last day).

2.07.Computations All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year); provided that all computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to LIBOR) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  Interest shall accrue on the Loans for the

day on which the Loans are made, and shall not accrue on the Loans, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that if the Loans are repaid on the same day on which it is made, the Loans shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder and any other calculation or determination made hereunder by an Agent, after consultation with the Initial Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  Any Interest Period stated to end on a day numerically corresponding to a given day in a specified month thereafter shall, if there is no corresponding day, end on the last Business Day of such month.

2.08.Termination of Commitments.  The aggregate Initial Loan Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier to occur of (i) the borrowing of the Initial Loan and (ii) the date that is 5 Business Days after the Closing Date.  The Delayed Draw Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the last Business Day of the Delayed Draw Availability Period.  The Delayed Draw Commitments of each Lender shall be reduced, dollar for dollar, by the amount of each Delayed Draw Loan made by such Lender.  The Delayed Draw Commitments of each Lender shall automatically and permanently be reduced to zero upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Prepayment Event.  The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Delayed Draw Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Delayed Draw Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon two (2) Business Days prior to the date of termination or partial reduction, and (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Any reduction of Delayed Draw Commitments shall be applied to the Delayed Draw Commitments of each Delayed Draw Lender, ratably according to the Delayed Draw Commitments held by such Lender.  All fees accrued with respect thereto until the effective date of any termination or reduction of the Delayed Draw Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination or reduction.

2.09.LTV Maintenance; LTV Notice.

(a)If, upon the close of trading on any Exchange Day, the LTV Ratio exceeds the LTV Margin Call Level, as determined by the Calculation Agent, the Borrower shall, (i) no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day following its receipt of notice thereof (a “Collateral Shortfall Notice”) from the Calculation Agent (the day of receipt of such notice, a “Collateral Shortfall Notice Day”) inform the Calculation Agent that it intends to satisfy such Collateral Shortfall Notice; (ii) no later than Noon, New York City time, on the second Business Day following a Collateral Shortfall Notice Day, provide the Calculation Agent with SWIFT or Fedwire instructions for such delivery contemplated in clause (iii) below and (iii) no later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day after a Collateral Shortfall Notice Day either voluntarily prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.04 or cause Eligible Cash Collateral or Eligible Pledged Shares to be delivered to the Secured Parties in accordance with Section 3 of the Security Agreement, in an amount sufficient to reduce the LTV Ratio to be equal to or less than the LTV Reset Level as of the date of payment, all as determined by the Calculation Agent.  For purposes of the Collateral Shortfall Notice and Section 10.02, (i) Borrower consents to the delivery of such notice by electronic communications and (ii) Borrower’s “normal business hours” shall be 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., New York City time, each Business Day. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the LTV Ratio exceeds the LTV Margin Call Level, as determined by the Calculation Agent, following a Potential Adjustment Event, a Spin-Off Event or an Issuer Merger Event, then the Administrative Agent agrees not to send a Collateral Shortfall Notice until such time as the Calculation Agent has made its determination as to the appropriate adjustments, if any, to be made to (i) the Minimum Price, (ii) the Maximum  Share Number,  and/or (iii) the Minimum ADTV Level.

(b)On the last day of each Interest Period, following the occurrence of a Potential Adjustment Event, a Spin-Off Event or an Issuer Merger Event and at any other time upon reasonable request of the Borrower, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Borrower of the LTV Ratio as determined on the Business Day immediately preceding such day or the date of such request (as applicable) and such LTV Ratio as notified by the Calculation Agent to the Borrower shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error.

(c)If, following the announcement (whether by the Issuer or any relevant third party) of (i) a Spin-Off Event or (ii) a firm intention to engage in a transaction (whether or not subsequently amended) that, if completed, would reasonably be expected to lead to an Issuer Merger Event (in each case, other than the transactions contemplated in the Charter TWC Merger Agreement or the Bright House Transaction), the Calculation Agent reasonably determines, following non-binding consultation with the Borrower during the same consultation period described in the definition of “Valuation Percentage”, that the securities or any other property that would be distributed to the holders of shares constituting the Pledged Shares, in connection with such Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event, as the case may be, would not meet the criteria for a Valuation Percentage of 100% set forth in the proviso to the definition of “Valuation Percentage,” and in connection with the completion of such distribution, the Borrower would be required, pursuant to Section 2.09(a), to deliver any Eligible Cash Collateral or Eligible Pledged Shares (based on the applicable Valuation Percentage reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the Collateral Value with respect to such Merger Shares or Spin-Off Shares, as the case may be, as set forth in the definition of Valuation Percentage and any other adjustments to be made pursuant to Section 1.02(d)), then the Calculation Agent shall determine the amount of Eligible Cash Collateral or Eligible Pledged Shares to be delivered to the Secured Parties in accordance with Section 3 of the Security Agreement for the LTV Ratio not to exceed the LTV Margin Call Level as a result of such distribution (the “LTV Event Amount”).  Within one (1) Business Day after the Calculation Agent determines the LTV Event Amount, which determination shall occur not more than eight (8) Business Days prior to the date on which such a distribution is scheduled to occur (or such shorter period of time if the scheduled distribution is less than eight (8) Business Days following the public announcement), the Calculation Agent shall deliver a notice to the Borrower setting forth the LTV Event Amount.  No later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier to occur of the (i) third Business Day after delivery of such notice and (ii) the date of such distribution, the Borrower shall cause Eligible Cash Collateral or Eligible Pledged Shares to be delivered to the Secured Parties in accordance with Section 3 of the Security Agreement, in an amount equal to the LTV Event Amount.  With effect from such delivery of the LTV Event Amount, the Calculation Agent shall adjust the Collateral Value in its commercially reasonable sole discretion to give effect to the foregoing determinations, with such adjustment terminating upon the earliest to occur of (i) the determination of a Valuation Percentage

with respect to such securities upon their distribution, and (ii) the announcement by the Issuer or relevant third party of the withdrawal or abandonment of such Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event, as the case may be (it being understood that the withdrawal or abandonment of any such Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event, as the case may be, does not preclude the occurrence of another Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event).  If, following the delivery of Eligible Cash Collateral or Eligible Pledged Shares in the requisite LTV Event Amount, the Issuer or relevant third party announces the withdrawal or abandonment of such Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event, or the Calculation Agent determines following consummation of the such Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event that the Valuation Percentage is greater than initially determined for purposes of calculating the LTV Event Amount, then the Secured Parties shall cause such portion of the LTV Event Amount to be released from the Collateral Account such that the LTV Ratio does not exceed the LTV Margin Call Level  as calculated by the Calculation Agent to correspond to the revised Valuation Percentage  (provided that the Borrower may elect to maintain in the Collateral Account all or any portion of such LTV Event Amount permitted to be so released).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Calculation Agent sending notice of an LTV Event Amount, the Calculation Agent shall make all other adjustments pursuant to Section 1.02(d) hereof and any LTV Event Amount shall be calculated based on such adjustments.  Upon receipt of written request from the Borrower following any such determination of adjustments pursuant to Section 1.02(d) hereof, the Calculation Agent shall reasonably promptly provide the Borrower with a written explanation describing in reasonable detail any calculation or determination made by it in determining such adjustments pursuant to Section 1.02(d) hereof (including any quotations, market data or information from internal sources used in making such calculations, but without disclosing the Calculation Agent’s proprietary models or confidential information).

(d)The Borrower may not withdraw any Collateral from the Collateral Account, except (i) in accordance with the immediately following subsections (e),  (f) or (j), (ii) with the prior written consent of each Lender or (iii) in connection with a disposition of Pledged Shares held in the Collateral Account as permitted under Section 7.04 and Section 7.07;  provided that, at the time of any such withdrawal, in the event the Collateral consists of Common Shares and Spin-Off Shares, the Calculation Agent may, in an equitable manner as the Calculation Agent determines necessary to preserve for the Lenders and the Borrower the intent of the parties and the fair value and risks in the Loans before giving effect to the Spin-Off Event relating to such Spin-Off Shares, after non-binding consultation with the Borrower, determine the required ratio of the value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of such Common Shares constituting Collateral to the value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of the Spin-Off Shares relating to the Spin-Off Event constituting Collateral, in each case, after giving effect to such withdrawal, to be withdrawn; provided,  further, that, in the event such ratio results in the value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of the Common Shares constituting 75% or more of the value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of the Collateral consisting of Pledged Shares remaining after giving effect to such withdrawal, then the Borrower may elect to include Common Shares in the Collateral in a percentage in excess of 75% of the value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of the Collateral consisting of Pledged Shares, and Spin-Off Shares shall be permitted to be released to the extent otherwise permitted under (i), (ii) or (iii) above; and provided,  further, that, in the event such ratio results in value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of the Spin-Off Shares constituting 75% or more of the value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of the Collateral consisting of Pledged Shares remaining after

giving effect to such withdrawal, then the Borrower may elect to include Spin-Off Shares in the Collateral in a percentage in excess of 75% of the value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of the Collateral consisting of Pledged Shares, and Common Shares shall be permitted to be released to the extent otherwise permitted under (i), (ii) or (iii) above.

(e)Collateral may be released from the Liens created under the Collateral Documents as follows:

(i)each Lender shall have received a written notice from the Borrower requesting a release of such Collateral on the date specified therein (which date shall be no earlier than the Business Day immediately following the first Business Day on which the Lenders has received such notice by 1:00 p.m.), including the amount and type of Collateral requested to be released;

(ii)(A) with respect to Collateral other than Eligible Cash Collateral, (x) the LTV Ratio has been equal to or less than the Initial LTV Ratio for at least fifteen (15) of the most recent twenty (20) Business Days immediately preceding the date of such written notice (and including the last day of such period); and (y) after giving effect to such release and any other release or substitution otherwise requested or effected pursuant to this  Section 2.09 and any Disposition pursuant to Section 7.04, the LTV Ratio would be equal to or less than the Initial LTV Ratio, and (B) with respect to Eligible Cash Collateral, (x) the LTV Ratio has been equal to or less than the LTV Reset Level for at least fifteen (15) of the most recent twenty (20) Business Days immediately preceding the date of such written notice (and including the last day of such period); and (y) after giving effect to such release  and any other release or substitution otherwise requested or effected pursuant to this Section 2.09 and any Disposition pursuant to Section 7.04, the LTV Ratio would be equal to or less than the LTV Reset Level;

(iii)no Event of Default shall exist or would occur immediately after giving effect to such release; and

(iv)on the date of such release the Borrower is not required to make any prepayment or take any other action under Section 2.05 or this Section 2.09 (and will not be required to take any such action as a result of the proposed release).

Any such notice delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) shall contain a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the items set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (ii) and (iii).  Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, but subject to Section 2.09(d),  Collateral of the type requested by the Borrower shall be released from the Lien created under the Collateral Documents (A) on a ratable basis among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares of the amount and type of Collateral being released and (B) in an aggregate amount equal to the lowest of (I) the amount of Collateral requested to be released by the Borrower in such written notice, (II) an amount of Collateral with a value such that, after giving effect to such release and any other release or substitution otherwise requested or effected pursuant to this Section 2.09 and any Disposition pursuant to Section 7.04, the LTV Ratio would not be greater than the Initial LTV Ratio and (III) the aggregate amount of such item of Collateral held in the Collateral Account and subject to a First Priority Lien in favor

of  the Secured Parties.  

(f)Pledged Shares may be released from the Liens created under the Collateral Documents for the sole purpose of substituting such Collateral as follows:

(i)each Lender shall have received a written notice from the Borrower requesting a release of Pledged Shares on the date specified therein (which date shall be no earlier than the Business Day immediately following the first Business Day on which each Lender has received such notice by 1:00 p.m.), including the amount and type of Pledged Shares requested to be released (the “Substituted Shares” for such substitution), and identifying the Shares (the “Replacement Shares” for such substitution) to be transferred to the Collateral Account in replacement of and substitution for the released Pledged Shares;

(ii)no Event of Default shall exist or would occur immediately after giving effect to such release; and

(iii)on the date of such release the Borrower is not required to make any prepayment or take any other action under Section 2.05 or this Section 2.09 (and will not be required to take any such action as a result of the proposed release).

Any such notice delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) shall contain a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the items set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (ii) and (iii).  Upon (x) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and (y) transfer of the Replacement Shares to the Collateral Account, subject to Section 2.09(d),  so long as such Replacement Shares constitute Eligible Pledged Shares upon such transfer, then Substituted Shares shall be released from the Lien created under the Collateral Documents (A) on a ratable basis among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares of the amount and type of Collateral being released and (B) in an aggregate number equal to the lowest of (I) the number of Substituted Shares requested to be released by the Borrower in such written notice,  (II) a number of Substituted Shares with a value such that, after giving effect to such release, the transfer of the Replacement Shares specified in the immediately preceding clause (y) and any release otherwise requested or effected pursuant to this Section 2.09 and any Disposition pursuant to Section 7.04, the LTV Ratio would not be greater than the lower of the Initial LTV Ratio and the LTV Ratio that would then be in effect if no such release, replacement, substitution or Disposition had occurred and (III) the aggregate amount of such Substituted Shares held in the Collateral Account and subject to a First Priority Lien in favor of the Secured Parties.

(g)The Borrower may transfer Eligible Pledged Shares and/or Eligible Cash Collateral into the Collateral Account on any Business Day and the Calculation Agent shall adjust the LTV Ratio accordingly which shall become effective one (1) Business Day after the posting of such additional Eligible Cash Collateral or Eligible Pledged Shares; provided that the Calculation Agent shall only be required to make such adjustment with respect to a transfer by the Borrower having a Collateral Value of at least $1,000,000.

(h)Upon the later to occur of (x) satisfaction of the requirements set forth in subsections (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 2.09 and (y) one (1) Business Day of its receipt of such

applicable request for release, each Secured Party shall originate an instruction or entitlement order to the Custodian directing the transfer of the applicable Collateral from such Secured Party’s Collateral Account to the Borrower.

(i)To the extent that the Borrower elects or is required to transfer or deposit Shares, Cash, Cash Equivalents or any other item of Collateral into any Collateral Accounts, the Borrower shall effect such transfer or deposit by transferring or depositing into each Secured Party’s Collateral Account, such Shares, Cash, Cash Equivalents or any other item of Collateral in accordance with their Ratable Shares of such item of Collateral.

2.10.Evidence of Debt

(a)Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and each Lender’s Ratable Share of the Loans from time to time (the “Register”).  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to such Lender’s portion of any Loan) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the initial principal amount of each Loan, stated interest thereon, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount thereof, and any assignment thereof, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Obligations.

(b)Notes.  Upon the request of a Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a Note (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which shall evidence such Lender’s Ratable Share of the applicable Loans in addition to the foregoing accounts or records.  A Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Ratable Share of such Loans and payments with respect thereto.

2.11.Payments Generally

(a)All payments to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff, except with respect to Taxes as provided in Section 3.01.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Agent Account in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue.

(b)Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, the Loans, each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Prepayment Amount and each other payment hereunder shall be allocated among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Ratable Shares of the Loans.  The Administrative Agent agrees to forward to the Lenders such principal, interest and other payments on the same Business Day as such amounts are received, collected or applied by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower,

unless the Administrative Agent receives such amounts after 11:00 a.m., in which case such payments may be forwarded by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders on the next Business Day.

(c)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the applicable LIBOR, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

(d)Except as expressly set forth herein, if any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or the date for the performance of any covenant shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment or performance, as applicable, shall be made on the next following Business Day, and for payments such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest.

(e)Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate a Lender to obtain the funds for its Ratable Share of the Loans in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for its Ratable Share of the Loans in any particular place or manner.

2.12.Sharing of Payments, Etc.  Each Lender agrees that, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on the Loans owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise (including pursuant to a Debtor Relief Law) in excess of its Ratable Share of the amounts owed to it hereunder, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders a participation in their portion of the Loans, in such amounts and with such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable in order that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable portion as provided for in this Agreement.  Each Lender further agrees that if a payment to a Lender (which is obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise) shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of a participation theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 shall not apply to any exercise by a Secured Party of remedies against the Collateral controlled by such Secured Party.

2.13.Defaulting Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(a)Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver,  consent or adjustment with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of “Required Lenders” and “Required Delayed Draw Lenders” or in Section 8.01.

(b)Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default has occurred), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund future Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its Ratable Share and (y) such Loan were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)Delayed Draw Commitment Fees.  No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.06(e) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(d)Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative

Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Share of the Loans, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided,  further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

3.01.Taxes.

(a)Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b)Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law.  If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as 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 applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within 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 such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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.

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the

Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection (e).

(f)Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g)Status of Lenders.    

(i)Any Lender or Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender or Agent, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Agent is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(g)(iii)(A),  (iii)(B) and (iii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s or Agent’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or Agent to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Agent.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

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

(B)any Foreign Lender or Agent that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender or such Agent becomes a Lender or Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)in the case of a Foreign Lender or Agent claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II)executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

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

(C)any Foreign Lender and any Agent which is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender or Agent becomes a Lender or Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon

the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)if a payment made to a Lender or Agent under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Agent 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 or Agent 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 or Agent has complied with such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(h)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall

not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i)Tax Documentation by Loan Parties.  To the extent it is legally entitled to do so, each Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws, when reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and promptly upon the obsolescence, invalidity or expiration of any form previously provided by such Loan Party, such property completed and executed documentation or certification prescribed by applicable Laws and such other reasonably requested information, certification or documentation as will permit the Administrative Agent to determine that a sale of the Collateral would not be subject to any withholding with respect to Taxes.

(j)Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

3.02.Illegality.  If a Lender determines (after consultation with the Administrative Agent) that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender to make, maintain or fund any Loan, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Floating Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of a Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue its portion of the Loans as Floating Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from the Lender, either (i) convert such Lender’s portion of the Loans to a Base Rate Loan, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain its portion of the Loans as Floating Rate Loans to such day or, immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain its portion of the Loans or (ii) prepay such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain its portion of the Loan to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain its portion of the Loan as Floating Rate Loans.  Upon any such prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.

3.03.Increased Costs; Reserves.

(a)Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, a Lender;

(ii)subject any Lender or Agent 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) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)impose on a Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or the portion of the Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Agent of making, continuing or maintaining its portion of the Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make its portion of the Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or Agent, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements.  If a Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or its holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of its holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or such Lender’s portion of the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of an Agent or Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Agent or Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d)Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of an Agent or Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Agent or Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.04.Compensation for Losses.  Upon demand of a Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)any payment or prepayment of the Loans on a day other than an Interest Payment Date (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(b)any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make available on any date specified herein its portion of the Loans) to prepay or borrow the Loans on any date or in the amount specified herein;

including any loss of anticipated profits (other than Base Spread) and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its portion of the Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Floating Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor, over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.

3.05.Mitigation Obligations.  If a Lender requests compensation under Section 3.03, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to a Lender, an Agent or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender or Agent pursuant to Section 3.01, or if a Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, at the request of the Borrower, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Loans, or its portion thereof, hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates and to take any other actions reasonable in the sole judgment of such Lender or Agent, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender or Agent, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.03, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or Agent to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Agent.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by a Lender or Agent in connection with any such designation, assignment or action.

become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity (or require an offer to purchase or redeem or prepay to be made to the holders of such Indebtedness), but in each case, only after the expiration of any grace or cure period applicable thereto; provided that this clause shall not apply to secured Indebtedness  that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness, and in connection therewith such secured Indebtedness which is due is repaid (provided that, if such secured Indebtedness is Other Margin Loans, the Loans are repaid on a Pro Rata Basis to the extent required under this Agreement).

8.02.Remedies upon Event of Default.  If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may and, upon request from the Required Lenders or, in the case of the Guarantee Agreement, any Lender, shall take, and each Lender may take (as to its own Loan and Commitment) any or all of the following actions:

(a)terminate forthwith the Commitments of the Lenders (or such Lender, as applicable) and declare the unpaid principal amount of the Loans, (or the Loans owing to such Lender, as applicable), all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, the Prepayment Amount and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to all Lenders or such Lender, as applicable, to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and

(b)exercise all rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Documents (including the enforcement of any and all Liens created pursuant to the Collateral Documents) and applicable Law;

provided that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(e) or 8.01(f), the Commitments of all Lenders shall automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of the Loans, any Prepayment Amount and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of any Lender or Agent.  If any Lender elects to take any of the foregoing actions individually (without the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of such Lender), such Lender shall notify the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent of such election and action prior to or substantially concurrent with the taking of such action.

8.03.Application of Funds.  After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent and their counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent and their counsel, all amounts for which the Administrative Agent and the Calculation Agent are entitled to indemnification hereunder (in its capacity as an Agent and not as a Lender) and all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Calculation Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of all other Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties; and third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  For

the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the exercise of remedies by any Secured Party (other than Administrative Agent, in its capacity as an Agent) with respect to Collateral allocated to it, the application of proceeds of such Collateral shall be governed by Section 6 of the Security Agreement.

8.04.Certain Provisions Related to Lenders acting as Secured Parties.

(a)For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party may choose to exercise any remedies provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, or refrain from exercising such remedies, in its sole discretion with respect to the Collateral subject to its control under the Collateral Account Control Agreement.  No Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party shall have any fiduciary or other express or implied duties to the other Lenders in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to its applicable Collateral Account or the Collateral credited thereto or otherwise and no Lender shall interfere with such exercise of remedies, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by each Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party in its capacity as collateral agent for the benefit of itself, the other Lenders and the Agents in accordance with the terms thereof.  No other Lender shall claim (or support any claim by any third party) that a sale or other disposition of such Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party’s Collateral by such Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party was not commercially reasonable.  Each Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment reasonably equal to that which such Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party accords its own property.

(b)Upon any Lender’s sale or other disposition of such Collateral in its Collateral Account pursuant to this Agreement and the Security Agreement, the security interest of each other Lender in such Collateral shall automatically terminate.  Each Lender will execute, deliver and file such documents (including UCC-3 financing statements), if any, reasonably requested by a Lender to evidence such Lender’s release of its security interest in the Collateral pledged to the foreclosing Lender that has been sold or otherwise disposed of.

(c)Each Lender agrees that it will not challenge or question or support any other Person in challenging or questioning in any proceeding the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien of any Lender under any Collateral Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties with respect to the Collateral established by the other provisions of this Agreement.

9.01.Authorization and Authority.  (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints [__] to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and as the Calculation Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes each Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Lenders and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any

of such provisions (except that Section 9.06 and Section 9.08 are also for the benefit of, and are binding upon, the Borrower).  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Calculation Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b)Each of the Lenders and each of the Agents hereby irrevocably appoints each Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party as its collateral agent for the benefit of itself, the Lenders and the Agents to act on its behalf for purposes of the Collateral Account Control Agreement to which it is a party, Section 8.03 and the Security Agreement and authorizes each Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are contemplated by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Solely for the purpose of performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party shall act solely as an agent of the other Lenders and Agents. Each Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any fiduciary relationship or trust with or for any Loan Party, any other Lender or any Agent.

9.02.Agent Individually. 

(a)Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not such Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(b)Each Lender understands that each Person serving as an Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, an “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 9.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of the Borrower or its Affiliates.  Furthermore, an Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Borrower and its Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower or its Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Borrower and its Affiliates.  Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, an Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of

an Agent’s Group.  No Agent nor any member of such Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that an Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by this Agreement to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders.

(c)Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of an Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Borrower and its Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder).  Each Lender agrees that no member of an Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as an Agent being a member of such Agent’s Group, and that each member of an Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender.  None of (i) the Loan Documents, (ii) the receipt by an Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including any duty of trust or confidence) owing by an Agent or any member of such Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict an Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Borrower or its Affiliates) or for its own account.

9.03.Duties of the Agents; Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)An Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and no Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein or therein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein); provided that an Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay (if any) under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b)No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.01 or Section 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default or Event of Default unless and until the Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to such Agent describing such Default or Event of Default and such event or events.

(c)No Agent nor any member of an Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby or thereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to an Agent.

(d)Nothing in this Agreement shall require an Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agents that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by an Agent or any of its Related Parties.

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

9.05.Delegation of Duties.  An Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more

sub agents appointed by such Agent, and such Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties; provided that in each case that no such delegation to a sub-agent or a Related Party shall release an Agent from any of its obligations hereunder.  Each such sub agent and the Related Parties of an Agent and each such sub agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 (as though such sub-agents were an “Agent” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.  An Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agent.

9.06.Resignation of Agent.  An Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor in consultation with the Borrower (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), which shall be a bank (x) with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York and (y) a combined capital surplus of $250,000,000.  If a Person serving as an Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower (except when an Event of Default exists), appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor be a Defaulting Lender.  In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and the effective date of such retiring Agent’s resignation which effective date shall be no earlier than three (3) Business Days after the date of such notice.  Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice, or the date on which the Required Lenders remove an Agent as set forth above, and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender, and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as an Agent of the retiring, retired or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring, retired or removed Agent, and the retiring, retired or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph).  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the

Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring, retired or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring, retired or removed Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as an Agent.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time any Agent ceases to be a Lender hereunder, such Agent shall be deemed to have provided its notice of resignation, which notice shall be automatically effective as of the date such Agent ceased to be a Lender hereunder.

9.07.Non-Reliance on the Agents and Other Lenders.

(a)Each Lender confirms to the Agents, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, (y) making the Loans and (z) taking or not taking actions hereunder or any other Loan Document, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and the making the Loans are suitable and appropriate for it.

(b)Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:

(i)the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower;

(ii)the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement;

(iii)determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Loans and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;

(iv)the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any other information delivered by the Agents, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement.

9.08.Lenders’ Rights with Respect to Collateral.

(a)Each Lender, upon becoming a Lender hereto, shall establish a securities account with the Custodian and enter into a Collateral Account Control Agreement with respect thereto. The Borrower (or in the case of any Lender taking pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, the applicable assignor) shall instruct the Custodian to transfer to such securities account  such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Collateral (including, ratably, the Pledged Shares and any other Collateral and, if applicable, any proceeds in respect of the Eligible Assignee’s Ratable Share of the Collateral)

(b)Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each  Lender shall have the right individually to require the Custodian to realize upon any of the Collateral in its Collateral Account or subject to such  Lender’s control and to apply the proceeds thereof to the repayment of such  Lender’s  portion of the Loans and other Obligations and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by such  Lender on its Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), such  Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, subject to Section 6(b) of the Security Agreement.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations of any Lender (other than unmatured contingent obligations) have been paid in full and all Commitments of such Lender have terminated or expired, upon request of the Borrower, such Lender shall  (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any other Lender) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral under such Lender’s  control.

9.09.Withholding Taxes.  To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax.  If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

10.01.Amendments, Etc.  No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower or the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and the Loan Parties, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would be to:

(i)extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

(ii)extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or any Note without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

(iii)waive any condition set forth in Section 4.02 as to any borrowing of Delayed Draw Loans without the written consent of the Required Delayed Draw Lenders (it being understood that the waiver of any Default or the amendment, waiver or other modification of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision of the Loan Documents (other than Section 4.02) effected in accordance with this Section 10.01 shall not require the separate consent of the Required Delayed Draw Lenders);

(xiii)consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document without the consent of each Lender;

provided,  further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) upon the occurrence of any Issuer Merger Event, Spin-Off Event or Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent may, without the consent of any other party but in consultation with each other Lender, (i) make corresponding adjustments to one or more of the terms of the Loan Documents in an equitable manner as the Calculation Agent determines necessary to preserve for the Lenders the fair value of the Loans then in effect and (ii) determine the effective date(s) of the adjustment(s), (B) if, following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an ambiguity, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of any Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Guarantor shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof and (C) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than the Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.  Any such adjustments pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso shall be binding on all parties to the Loan Documents (other than, in the case of the Collateral Account Control Agreement, the Custodian (unless the Custodian consents thereto)) and all such parties shall enter into such documentation required to reflect such adjustments.

(b)No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 9 as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent.

10.06.Successors and Assigns. 

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and a Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (d) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (c) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees and Affiliates of the Lenders and the Agents) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)Assignments by a Lender.  A Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it or Commitments hereunder held by it at the time) pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing or such assignment is to Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (and which will be deemed given with respect to the Lenders previously identified by the Borrower in writing as acceptable) and each such assignment pursuant

to this Section 10.06(b) shall be either (i) in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 or (ii) an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder.  From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption, and subject to the recordation thereof in the Register pursuant to Section 2.10(a), such Eligible Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender, have the rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement; provided that such Eligible Assignee shall not be entitled to receive greater amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 than those to which such Eligible Assignee’s assignor would have been entitled, at the time of the assignment, had no such assignment been made, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the assignment was effected.  Such Lender shall, to the extent of the interest so assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment of all of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,  3.03,  3.04,  10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment); provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver new or replacement Notes to such Lender and the assignee (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), and shall execute and deliver any other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to give effect to such assignment and to provide for the administration of this Agreement after giving effect thereto.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 10.06.  Upon any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.06(b), (I) the applicable Eligible Assignee shall execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a joinder to each of the Security Agreement and the Collateral Account Control Agreement as set forth in the Security Agreement and the Collateral Account Control Agreement, respectively and (II) the Borrower shall deliver to such assignee a Form U-1 or Form G-3 Purpose Statement or, if applicable, an amendment to a Form U-1 or Form G-3 Purpose Statement previously delivered to such assignee in its capacity as a Lender hereunder, duly executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (in each case, unless such assignee has confirmed that it does not require either such form).

(c)Participations.  A Lender may at any time, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing or such assignment is to Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, sell participations to any Eligible Assignee (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the portion of any Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrower, the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent for the performance of such obligations and (iii) 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.  Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided 

that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would require the consent of all of the Lenders or such Lender.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 3.03 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 10.06;  provided that the Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 to the extent of any Taxes imposed as a result of such Participant’s failure to provide the forms required under Section 3.01(g) if it were a Lender (it being understood that the Participant shall provide such forms to the participating Lender instead of the Borrower).  To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans or such other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)Certain Pledges.  A Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under a Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank.

(e)Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Ratable Share of the Loans.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of

this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

10.07.Confidentiality.  The Lenders and the Agents agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to any of their Affiliates and to their and their Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto or to any lender or agent under the Other Margin Loan Documents, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the Custodian in its capacity such or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to a Lender or Agent or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantor relating to the Borrower or the Guarantor, other than any such information that is available to a Lender or Agent on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or the Guarantor or which is public information.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

10.08.Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or the Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or the Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or its Affiliates shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or the Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or any such Affiliate different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the

provisions of Section 2.13(b) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of a Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.09.Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If a Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of such Lender’s portion of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.

10.10.Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the Lenders and the Agents and when each Lender and  Agent shall have received a counterpart hereof that bears the signature of the Borrower.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement via telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11.Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document required to be delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or required to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Lenders and the Agents, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or Agent or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender or Agent may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

10.12.Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or

impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

L. 107-56 (signed into Law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent to identify the Borrower and the Guarantor in accordance with the Act.  The Borrower agrees to provide such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by such Lender or Agent in order to assist such Lender or Agent in maintaining compliance with its procedures, the PATRIOT Act and any other applicable Laws.
