(b) The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice (and in any event within two Business Days of receipt) of the Administrative Agents receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.13(a) (Determination of Interest Rate).

If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lenders Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower.
(d) The failure of any Lender to make on the date specified any Loan or any payment required by it (such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender), including any payment in respect of its participation in Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

(h) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued for its account no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after the Borrower receives written notice from such Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (provided, however, that if such written notice is given by such Issuer to the Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time), the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Issuer on the date of such notice) (such date, the Reimbursement Date), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the Reimbursement Date, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) from the Reimbursement Date until the date of repayment in full, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to past due Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Lenders Ratable Portion of such payment in immediately available funds in Dollars. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except during

the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default) and notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be deemed to have made a Loan to the Borrower in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from the Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay over to the Administrative Agent any amount received in excess of such Reimbursement Obligation and, upon receipt of such amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lenders Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.
(i) If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter, until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Facility.
(j) The Borrowers obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;
(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;
(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;
(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrowers obligations hereunder.
Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not result in any liability of such Issuer to the Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer.
Section 2.4 Reduction and Termination of the Commitments
The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably (subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.4) the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $20,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. In addition, all outstanding Commitments shall terminate on the Scheduled Termination Date. Any reduction of the Commitments shall be applied first, to reduce the Commitments of any Lenders that are Affiliates of the Borrower on a ratable basis until the aggregate Commitments of such Lenders is not greater than $50,000,000 and then, to ratably reduce the Commitments of all Lenders by each such Lenders Ratable Portion of the amount of such reduction; provided, that if at the time of any such reduction of the Commitments the Outstandings exceed $0, each Lender shall acquire, immediately upon giving effect to such reduction and without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in the Outstandings of each other Lender (ratably in accordance with the then Outstandings) in principal amounts to the extent necessary to ensure that the Outstandings of each Lender (after giving effect to such reduction in Commitments) are proportionate to the Commitment of such Lender at such time, and, to the extent necessary, by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account of each other Lender, in immediately available funds in Dollars, an amount equal to the amount so required to be purchased.

or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clause (f) or (g) below, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 (Capital Adequacy), Section 2.15 (Taxes) or Section 2.13(c) or (d) (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.
(b) All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Loans shall be applied as follows: first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due 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 that the Borrower shall not have 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 Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans) 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.
(f) Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions of clause (g) below (or required to be applied in accordance with Section 2.8(b) (Mandatory Prepayments)), all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by

such Lender or the Borrower, second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable and third, as the Borrower so designates; provided that all payments in respect of principal of the Loans shall be applied first to repay any amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Sublimit and, second, to repay all other Loans. Payments in respect of Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with such Lenders Ratable Portion of the Commitments; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.
(g) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8(b) (Mandatory Prepayments) and clause (f) above, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies) shall apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order:
(i) first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower;
(ii) second, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;
(iii) third, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the Issuers;

(v) fifth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations;
(vi) sixth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and to provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit), ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts; and
(vii) seventh, to the ratable payment of all other Secured Obligations;
provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Secured Obligation described in any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Secured Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Secured Obligation ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agents and each Lenders or Issuers interest in the aggregate outstanding Secured Obligations described in such clauses. The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above may at any time and from

time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any Secured Party that is not a Lender or Issuer or by any other Person that is not a Lender or Issuer. The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to that of the Requisite Lenders.

In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(c) Increased Costs
If at any time any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate) or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case, after the date hereof, shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans (excluding any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.15 (Taxes) shall govern) and (ii) taxes measured by its net or gross income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, and similar taxes imposed (A) by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which it is organized or (B) as a result of a present or former connection between it and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax (or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand (together with appropriate supporting documentation) by such Lender (with a copy of such demand and documentation to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, with respect to any
42

Lenders claim for compensation pursuant to this clause (c), the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim for compensation; provided, that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost is retroactive, then such 120 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower pursuant to this clause (c), the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such claim for compensation ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 2.10 (Conversion/Continuation Option) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
(d) Illegality
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this clause (d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrowers right to request, and such Lenders obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.
(ii) Any Lender that has determined in accordance with clause (i) above that it is unlawful for such Lender to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would enable such Lender to make or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(e) Breakage Costs
In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.9 (Interest), the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand (together with appropriate supporting documentation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lenders Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans or other

anticipated profit) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason (other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender) a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.10 (Conversion/Continuation Option), (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid (including mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.8 (Mandatory Prepayments)) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, with respect to any Lenders claim for compensation pursuant to this clause (e), the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any such amount incurred more than sixty (60) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim for compensation.
Section 2.14 Capital Adequacy
(i) If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lenders (or any corporation controlling such Lenders) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.
(ii) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
Section 2.15 Taxes
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.15, any and all payments by any Loan Party under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without

deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender, each Issuer and the Administrative Agent (A) taxes measured by its net or gross income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, and similar taxes imposed (1) by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized, or (2) as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax (or any political subdivision thereof), and (B) any withholding taxes required to be withheld with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the date hereof or with respect to any particular Lender, the date on which it designates a different Applicable Lending Office (or, in the case of (x) an Eligible Assignee, the date of the Assignment and Acceptance, (y) a successor Administrative Agent, the date of the appointment of such Administrative Agent, and (z) a successor Issuer, the date such Issuer becomes an Issuer) at the rate applicable to such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, but not excluding any increase in withholding taxes payable in excess of such applicable rate as a result of any change in such laws occurring after the Closing Date (or the date of such Assignment and Acceptance or the date of such appointment of such Administrative Agent or the date such Issuer becomes an Issuer) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as Taxes). If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender, any Issuer or the Administrative Agent (w) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15), such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (x) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (y) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (z) the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment.
(b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made by any Loan Party under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, Other Taxes).

This indemnification shall be made within 45 days from the date such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor; provided however, if the relevant Loan Party reasonably determines that any such Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts (as determined in good faith by such Lender, Issuer or Administrative Agent, as the case may be and at the sole cost and expense of

such Loan Party) in cooperating with the relevant Loan Party in contesting any such Taxes or Other Taxes with the appropriate Governmental Authority.
(d) Within 45 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), the original or a certified copy of a receipt (or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) evidencing payment thereof.

(f) (i) Any Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Loan Party is resident for Tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, two completed originals of such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax, or that is subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall (v) on or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each Non-U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto, (w) on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender, the date a successor Issuer becomes an Issuer or the date a successor Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable:

(D) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lenders entitlement to such exemption from U.S. withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents.
Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender are not subject to U.S. withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.
(iii) Each U.S. Lender shall (v) on or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto, (w) on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender, on or prior to the date a successor Issuer becomes an Issuer or on or prior to the date a successor Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.

(iv) For any period with respect to which any U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in this subsection (f) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which such form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under this clause (f)), such U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.15 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure, except to the extent the failure to provide such forms did not give rise to the withholding.
(g) Any U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(h) If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or Holdings or with respect to which the Borrower or Holdings has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay to the Borrower or Holdings, as the case may be, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower and Holdings, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer is required to repay or return all or any part of such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or such Issuer to conduct its business or to arrange or alter in any respect its tax or financial affairs so that it is entitled to receive such refund other than performing ministerial acts necessary to be entitled to receive such refund.
Section 2.16 Substitution of Lenders
(a) (i) In the event that (A) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.13(c) (Increased Costs) or Section 2.14 (Capital Adequacy), (B) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(d) (Illegality), (C) the Borrower or Holdings is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.15 (Taxes) that is attributable to a particular Lender or (D) any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, (ii) in the case of clause (i)(A) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans materially exceeds the effective average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement and (iii) in the case of clauses (i)(A), (B) and (C) above, Lenders holding at least 75% of the Commitments are not subject to increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an Affected Lender), the Borrower may substitute any Lender and, if reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any other Eligible Assignee (a Substitute Institution) for such Affected Lender hereunder, after delivery of a written notice (a Substitution Notice) by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender within a reasonable time (in any case not to exceed 90 days) following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) above that the Borrower intends to make such substitution; provided, however, that, if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Borrower within 30 days of each other, then the Borrower may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Borrower has already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the Borrowers receipt of the other Affected Lenders claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims.
(b) If the Substitution Notice was properly issued under this Section 2.16, the Affected Lender shall sell, and the Substitute Institution shall purchase, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and the Substitute Institution shall assume, and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of, the Affected Lenders Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in

(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of any Lender whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1 being referred to as a Non-Consenting Lender), then, as long as the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrowers request, an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right with the Administrative Agents consent and in the Administrative Agents sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agents request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Commitments and Outstandings of such Non-Consenting Lender if such Non-Consenting Lender is a Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale; provided, however, that such purchase and sale shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and not be effective until (A) the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (B) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all Loans held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of the sale. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such sale and

purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lenders Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.
Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations
(a) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans and the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lenders Outstandings and Commitments, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lenders Outstandings and Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the Assignors entire interest) be less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except, in either case, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.2, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment occurring when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that no such sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment shall be permitted if, after giving effect to such sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment, Affiliates of the Borrower that are Lenders would hold, collectively, greater than or equal to 50% of the outstanding Loans or Commitments, as the case may be, under the Facility.
(b) The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note (if the assigning Lenders Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment. Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register of any Assignment and Acceptance and the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender, and if such Lender were an Issuer, of such Issuer hereunder and thereunder, and (ii) the Notes (if any) corresponding to the Loans assigned thereby shall be transferred to such assignee by notation in the Register and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lenders rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in the Register the names and addresses of the Lenders and Issuers and the
76

principal amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time and the Commitments of each Lender. Any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register.
(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record or cause to be recorded the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent new Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Commitments or Loans hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit B (Form of Note).
(e) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may do each of the following:
(i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder; provided, however, that (A) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement) and (B) such Lenders obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain responsible to the other parties for the performance of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and shall remain the holder of the Obligations for all purposes hereunder; and
(ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, any Federal Reserve Bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) and (B) without consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, (1) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of, the holders of such Lenders Securities and (2) any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above;
provided, however, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above and except, in the case of a subsequent foreclosure pursuant to an assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 11.2 other than this clause (e) or clause (f) below. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in
77
Credit Agreement
Macquarie Infrastructure Company Inc.

instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (e) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations). The terms of the designation of, or assignment to, such Special Purpose Vehicle shall not restrict such Lenders ability to, or grant such Special Purpose Vehicle the right to, consent to any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to the departure by the Borrower from any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of such Special Purpose Vehicle except, as long as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties shall continue to, and shall be entitled to continue to, deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders obligations under this Agreement, to the extent any such consent would reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Obligations, amend this clause (e) or postpone any scheduled date of payment of such principal or interest. Each Special Purpose Vehicle shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.15 (Taxes) and of 2.13(d) (Illegality) as if it were such Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Borrower shall, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.14 (Capital Adequacy), 2.15 (Taxes) or 2.13(d) (Illegality) to any such Special Purpose Vehicle and any such Lender any payment in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest if such Special Purpose Vehicle had not been assigned the rights of such Lender hereunder; and provided, further, that such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.
(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participants consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with Section 10.8(b) (Collateral and Guarantee Matters). In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (w) such Lenders obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.15 (Taxes) and of 2.13(d) (Illegality) as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.14 (Capital Adequacy), 2.15 (Taxes) or 2.13(d) (Illegality) to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender) any payment in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold and provided, further, that such participant in the rights and obligations of such Lender shall have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

(g) Any Issuer may at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(b) (Evidence of Debt) relating to notations of transfer in the Register. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2, then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuers obligations to Issue any Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.3 (Letters of Credit) shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date.

Without limiting the foregoing, Indemnified Matters include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries involving any of its Real Property or personal property, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien and (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (49 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer.

No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall vitiate or in any way impair the Borrowers obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee.
(d) The Borrower agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
(b) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY AGENT AFFILIATE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, LENDER, ISSUER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY AGENT
