the financial covenants herein, then, if the Company, the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks, by notice to the other parties hereto, shall so request, whether before or at any time after such change in United States generally accepted accounting principles, (a) the parties to the Agreement will enter into negotiations in good faith in an effort to agree upon amendments which will most nearly preserve the original intent of such financial covenants, and (b) pending agreement on such amendments, such financial covenants will remain in effect but will be measured by reference to United States generally accepted accounting principles as in effect immediately prior to such change.

SECTION 1.04.  Eurodollar Screen Rate Notification.  The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Screen Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate.  The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market.  In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 3.03 of this Agreement, such Section 3.03 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Administrative Agent will notify the Company, pursuant to Section 3.03, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of

“Eurodollar Screen Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.03, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Eurodollar Screen Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

the format of Exhibit B hereto may be rejected in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of such rejection by telephone (confirmed promptly in writing), facsimile or e-mail.  A Competitive Bid Request shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (x) whether the Loans then being requested are to be Eurodollar Loans or Fixed Rate Loans, (y) the Borrowing Date with respect to such Loans (which shall be a Business Day) and the aggregate principal amount thereof (which shall be in amounts such that the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding immediately following the Borrowing of the Loans pursuant to such Competitive Bid Request and the LC Exposure shall not exceed the Total Commitment), and (z)  the requested Interest Period with respect thereto.  The aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Borrowing requested pursuant to any Competitive Bid Request shall not be less than $50,000,000.  Promptly after its receipt of a Competitive Bid Request that is not rejected as aforesaid, the Administrative Agent shall invite (in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto) by facsimile or e-mail the Competitive Bid Banks to bid, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make Competitive Loans pursuant to the Competitive Bid Request.

(c)  Each Competitive Bid Bank may, in its sole discretion, make one or more Competitive Bids to the Company responsive to the Competitive Bid Request.  Each Competitive Bid by a Competitive Bid Bank must be in the form of Exhibit D hereto and must be received by the Administrative Agent by facsimile or e-mail, (i) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, four Business Days before a proposed Competitive Borrowing and (ii) in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing.  Competitive Bids that do not conform substantially to the format of Exhibit D hereto may be rejected by the Administrative Agent after conferring with, and upon the instruction of, the Company, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Competitive Bid Bank that submitted such Competitive Bid of such rejection as soon as practicable.  Each Competitive Bid shall refer to this Agreement and specify (x) the principal amount (which shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $l,000,000 and which may equal the entire aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Borrowing requested by the Company) of the Competitive Loan that the Competitive Bid Bank is willing to make to the Company, (y) the Competitive Bid Rate at which the Competitive Bid Bank is prepared to make the Competitive Loan, and (z) the offered Interest Period with respect thereto.  Except as provided in Section 2.08(e)(i), Section 2.12(c)(iii), and Section 4.03(b)(i) hereof, a Competitive Bid submitted by a Competitive Bid Bank pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) shall be irrevocable.  If any Competitive Bid Bank shall elect not to make a Competitive Bid with respect to a proposed Competitive Borrowing, such Competitive Bid Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent by facsimile or e-mail (i) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, four Business Days before such proposed Competitive Borrowing and (ii) in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date of such proposed Competitive Borrowing; provided, however, that the failure of any Competitive Bid Bank to give such notice shall not cause such Bank to be obligated to make any Competitive Loan as part of such Competitive Borrowing.

Competitive Loan in respect of which a Competitive Bid was made and the identity of the Competitive Bid Bank that made each bid; such notice shall be given to the Company by telephone (confirmed immediately by facsimile or e-mail) not later than (i) 45 minutes (in the case of Competitive Bids for Fixed Rate Loans) and (ii) 2 hours (in the case of other Competitive Bids) after the latest time by which such Competitive Bids were required to be received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.02(c) hereof.  The Administrative Agent shall send a copy of all Competitive Bids to the Company for its records as soon as practicable after completion of the bidding process set forth in this Section 2.02.

(e)  The Company may in its sole and absolute discretion, subject only to the provisions of this Section 2.02(e), accept or reject any Competitive Bid referred to in Section 2.02(d) hereof.  The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone (confirmed in writing), facsimile or e-mail) whether and to what extent it has decided to accept or reject any or all of the Competitive Bids referred to in Section 2.02(d) hereof, (i) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Competitive Borrowing and (ii) in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing; provided, however, that (v) the failure by the Company to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of all the Competitive Bids referred to in Section 2.02(d) hereof, (w) the Company shall not accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if the Company has rejected a Competitive Bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Borrowing to be made may not exceed the principal amount of Competitive Loans requested by the Company pursuant to the related Competitive Bid Request, (y) if the Company shall accept Competitive Bids made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate but shall be restricted by other conditions hereof from borrowing the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Loans in respect of which Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate have been made, then, to the extent of the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Borrowing to be made, the Company shall accept a pro rata portion of each Competitive Bid made at such Competitive Bid Rate based as nearly as possible on the respective principal amounts of Competitive Loans for which such Competitive Bids were made (provided that if the available principal amount of Competitive Loans to be so allocated is not sufficient to enable Competitive Loans to be so allocated to each such Competitive Bid Bank in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000, the Company shall select the Competitive Bid Banks to be allocated such Competitive Loans and shall round allocations up or down to the next higher or lower multiple of $1,000,000 as it shall deem appropriate), and (z) no Competitive Bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Loan unless such Competitive Loan is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000.  If telephonic notice of acceptance or rejection of a Competitive Bid is given by the Company to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such notice shall be confirmed in writing no later than (A) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day such notice is given, or (B) in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day such notice is given.  Except as provided in Section 2.08(e)(i), Section 2.12(c)(iii), and Section 4.03(b)(i) hereof, a notice given by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(e) shall be irrevocable.

(f)  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify by facsimile or e-mail each of the Competitive Bid Banks which has submitted a Competitive Bid whether or not their Competitive Bids have been accepted (and if so, in what amount and at what Competitive Bid Rate), and each successful Competitive Bid Bank shall thereupon become bound to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted.

(g)  A Competitive Borrowing shall not be made within five Business Days of the Borrowing Date of any other Competitive Borrowing, unless the Company and the Administrative Agent shall mutually agree otherwise.

(h)  If the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Competitive Bid Bank, it shall submit such bid to the Company one quarter of an hour earlier than the latest time at which the other Competitive Bid Banks are required to submit their bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.02(c) hereof.

SECTION 2.03.  Letters of Credit.  (a)  General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may request any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and until the fifth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Company to, or entered into by the Company with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letters of Credit in contravention of the customary procedures of the applicable Issuing Bank, and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any commercial Letter of Credit if such issuance is inconsistent with such Issuing Bank’s internal policies.

(b)  Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit (other than an automatic renewal permitted pursuant to Section 2.03(c) hereof)), the Company shall hand deliver, fax or e-mail to an Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.03(c) hereof), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.  If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Company also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Company shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall

not exceed $2,000,000,000, (ii) the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment and (iii) the sum of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and Competitive Loans made by all Banks and the LC Exposure shall not exceed the Total Commitments.  At the request of any Bank at any time, each Issuing Bank will advise such Bank of the amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at such time.  If the Required Banks notify an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default exists and instruct such Issuing Bank to suspend the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall not issue, amend, renew (except pursuant to an automatic renewal permitted pursuant to Section 2.03(c) hereof unless such notice is received at least one Business Day prior to the date by which the election not to renew must be made by such Issuing Bank) or extend any Letter of Credit without the consent of the Required Banks until such notice is withdrawn by the Required Banks (and each Bank that shall have delivered such notice agrees promptly to withdraw it at such time as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists).

(c)  Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for automatic renewals thereof for additional periods of one year in the absence of a notice from the applicable Issuing Bank to the contrary so long as the final expiry of such Letter of Credit is not later than the date referred to in clause (ii) of this sentence (and the applicable Issuing Bank is hereby directed to give any notice required in order that the expiry of any Letter of Credit will not be later than such date); provided further that no Letter of Credit may expire after the Existing Maturity Date applicable to any Declining Bank if, after giving effect to such issuance, renewal or extension the aggregate Commitments of the Consenting Banks (including any Replacement Lenders) that will be in effect following such Existing Maturity Date would be less than the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit expiring after such Existing Maturity Date.

(d)  Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Banks, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Bank, and each Bank hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Bank’s Proportional Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Bank’s Proportional Share of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Company on the date due as provided in Section 2.03(e) hereof, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Company for any reason.  Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit

Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)  Reimbursement.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Company shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Company prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Company receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $10,000,000, the Company may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.01 that such payment be financed with a Borrowing consisting of Alternate Base Rate Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Company’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing.  If the Company fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Company in respect thereof and such Bank’s Proportional Share thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Proportional Share of the payment then due from the Company, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Bank (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Banks), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Banks.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Company pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Banks and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Bank pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Alternate Base Rate Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)  Obligations Absolute.  The Company’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.03(e) hereof 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 and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank 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, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Company’s obligations

hereunder.  None of the Administrative Agent, the Banks or any Issuing Bank, or any of their affiliates, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined in a final, non-appealable judgement that an Issuing Bank acted (or failed to act) in gross negligence or willful misconduct, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g)  Disbursement Procedures.  Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or e-mail) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h)  Interim Interest.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Company reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Company fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.03(e) hereof, then Section 3.02 hereof shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(e) hereof to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Bank to the extent of such payment.

(i)  Replacement of Issuing Banks.  Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.07(b) hereof.  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and such previous Issuing Bank, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j)  Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Banks with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Banks, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Company described in clause (e) or (f) of Article VIII.  Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option of the Administrative Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Company for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Banks with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Company under this Agreement.  If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k)  Issuing Bank Reports.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of

Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amount thereof shall have changed), it being understood that no Issuing Bank shall effect any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that such increase is then permitted under this Agreement, (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iii) on any Business Day on which the Company fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(l)  Applicability of International Standby Practices and Uniform Customs and Practice.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Bank and the Company at the time a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the International Standby Practices shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice shall apply to Documentary Credits, in each case, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce.

SECTION 2.04.  General Terms Relating to the Loans.  (a)  Each Borrowing made by the Company on any Borrowing Date shall be (i) in the case of Competitive Loans, in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, in an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000; provided that a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.03(e) hereof.  Competitive Loans shall be made by the Competitive Bid Banks in accordance with Section 2.02(e) hereof, and Revolving Credit Loans shall be made by the Banks ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments on the Borrowing Date of the Revolving Credit Borrowing; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Bank of its obligation to lend hereunder.

(b)  Each Competitive Loan shall be a Eurodollar Loan or a Fixed Rate Loan, and each Revolving Credit Loan shall be a Eurodollar Loan or an Alternate Base Rate Loan, as the Company may request subject to and in accordance with Section 2.01 or Section 2.02 hereof, as applicable.  Each Bank may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing a foreign branch or affiliate of such Bank to make such Loan; provided, however, that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Company to repay such Loan to such Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Note, (ii) such Bank shall promptly advise the Company of the exercise of such option, the name and address of such foreign branch or affiliate and such other information with respect to such branch or affiliate as the Company may reasonably request, and (iii) the exercise of such option, as of the time of such exercise, shall not materially increase the amounts which would have been payable by the Company to such Bank under this Agreement and any applicable Notes.  Revolving Credit Loans of more than one interest rate option may be outstanding at

the same time; provided, however, that, unless the Administrative Agent and the Company shall otherwise agree, the Company shall not be entitled to request any Revolving Credit Loan or Competitive Loan which, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than ten separate Revolving Credit Loans of any Bank and ten separate Competitive Loans being outstanding hereunder at any one time.  For purposes of the foregoing, Revolving Credit Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, and Revolving Credit Loans having different interest rate options, shall be considered separate Loans.

(c)  Subject to Section 2.06 hereof, each Bank shall make available its portion, as appropriate, of each Competitive Borrowing and Revolving Credit Borrowing on the proposed Borrowing Date thereof by paying the amount required to the Administrative Agent in New York, New York, in Dollars, in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. (or 12:00 noon in the case of Fixed Rate Loans or 2:00 p.m. in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans), New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall by 1:00 p.m. (or 3:00 p.m. in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans), New York City time, credit the amounts so received (or, subject to Section 2.04(d) hereof, its own funds but, in either case, in Dollars in immediately available funds) to such account of the Company as it shall designate in writing to the Administrative Agent or, if Loans are not made on such date because any condition precedent to a Borrowing herein specified shall not have been met, promptly return the amounts so received to the respective Banks.

(d)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Bank prior to the Borrowing Date of any Loan that such Bank does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s portion of the Loan to be made on such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such proceeds available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Company a corresponding amount.  If, and only if, such notice is not given and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Bank, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank (or, if such Bank fails to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand, from the Company) together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Company and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) in the case of the Company, the applicable Interest Rate in respect of such Loan.

SECTION 2.05.  Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Indebtedness.  (a)  The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan and Competitive Loan of such Bank on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (in the case of any Revolving Credit Loan, subject to the final sentence of Section 2.06 hereof) and, in any event, on the Maturity Date.

(b)  Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Company to such Bank resulting from each

Loan made by such Bank, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder.

(c)  The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Banks and each Bank’s share thereof.

(d)  The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.05 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)  Any Bank may request (i) that the Revolving Credit Loans made by it be evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note duly executed on behalf of the Company, dated the date of this Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 with the blanks appropriately filled, payable to such Bank (or, if requested by such Bank, to such Bank or its registered assigns) in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank, and (ii) that the Competitive Loans made by it be evidenced by a Competitive Note duly executed on behalf of the Company, dated the date of this Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 with the blanks appropriately filled, payable to such Bank (or, if requested by such Bank, to such Bank or its registered assigns) in a principal amount equal to the Total Commitment.  In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank the applicable Note or Notes.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by each such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.06) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if required by such payee, to such payee or its registered assigns).  Each Bank shall, and is hereby authorized by the Company to, record on the schedule attached to the relevant Note held by such Bank (or on a continuation of such schedule attached to each such Note and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the Borrowing Date and amount of each Loan of such Bank, each payment or prepayment (including any deemed repayment pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof) of principal of any Loan and the other information provided for on such schedule; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to make such a notation or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Loans made by such Bank in accordance with the terms of the relevant Note. Upon Payment in Full, each Note or, with respect to any Bank, on the date on which such Bank no longer holds any outstanding Loans or Revolving Credit Commitment, such Bank’s Note(s), shall be automatically deemed of no further force and effect and, upon the request of the Company, shall be promptly returned by the relevant Bank to the Company.

SECTION 2.06.  Refinancings.  The Company may refinance all or any part of any Loan with a Loan or Loans of the same or a different type made pursuant to Section 2.01 or

Section 2.02 hereof; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of the new Borrowings shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Loans being refinanced.  Any Loan or part thereof so refinanced shall be deemed to be repaid in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof with the proceeds of a new Borrowing hereunder; provided, however, that with respect to any new Borrowing which results in any Bank extending a Loan in a different principal amount than such Bank extended in the Loan being refinanced (e.g., the refinancing of a Revolving Credit Loan with a Competitive Loan), (i) if the principal amount extended by a Bank in a refinancing is greater than the principal amount extended by such Bank in the Borrowing being refinanced, such Bank shall pay such difference to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Banks described in clause (ii) below, and (ii) if the principal amount extended by a Bank in the Borrowing being refinanced is greater than the principal amount being extended by such Bank in the refinancing, the Administrative Agent shall return the difference to such Bank out of amounts received pursuant to clause (i) above. If the Company shall not have repaid any Revolving Credit Loan on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto and shall not have given notice with respect to the refinancing of such Loan in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.01 or Section 2.02 hereof, as appropriate, it shall be deemed to have elected to refinance such Loan with a Revolving Credit Loan which is an Alternate Base Rate Loan to be made on the last day of the Interest Period of the Loan so refinanced.

SECTION 2.07.  Fees.  (a)  Facility Fee.  The Company agrees to pay to each Bank, through the Administrative Agent, on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (the first such payment to be made on March 31, 2018) and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment (including any Additional Commitment) of such Bank shall be terminated or the Maturity Date, whichever shall first occur, in immediately available funds, a facility fee (a “Facility Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage from time to time in effect on the average daily amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank, whether used or unused, during the Calendar Quarter (or shorter period beginning on the Effective Date or ending on March 31, 2018 or the Maturity Date, as the case may be) then ended; provided, that if any Bank continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Revolving Credit Commitment terminates (including after the Maturity Date), then such Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Bank’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the date on which such Revolving Credit Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Bank ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure; provided, further, that the amount payable by the Company under this paragraph shall be reduced by any amounts paid on account of the Facility Fees pursuant to Section 4.01(a) hereof and provided, further, that the Facility Fee shall not accrue with respect to the Additional Commitments prior to July 8, 2019.  All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) in a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and shall commence to accrue on the Effective Date.

(b)  Letter of Credit Fees.  The Company agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Bank, a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit (the “LC Participation Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurodollar Loans, on the average daily amount of such Bank’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which

such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Bank ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.150% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder (the fees provided for in this clause (ii) being collectively referred to as the “Issuing Bank Fees”).  Accrued participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (the first such payment to be made on March 31, 2018); provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

SECTION 2.08.  Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.  (a)  If after the date of this Agreement (or as provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.08(a)) any adoption, issuance or change in applicable law, rule or regulation, guideline, request or directive or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law but with respect to which similarly situated banks generally comply) (i) shall impose on any Bank or any Issuing Bank any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (ii) shall 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, any Bank or any Issuing Bank or (iii)  shall impose on any Bank or any Issuing Bank or on the London interbank market any other cost or condition (other than Taxes), however denominated, affecting this Agreement or any Loan made by such Bank or any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or any participations therein (any change referred to in any of the preceding clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) being called an “Increased Cost Change”), and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Bank or Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Loan (or maintaining a Revolving Credit Commitment) or issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or maintaining its obligation to issue Letters of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect thereof by an amount deemed in good faith by such Bank or Issuing Bank to be material, then, subject to Section 2.08(d) hereof, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank for such increase or reduction will be paid by the Company to such Bank or Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.08(c) hereof.  Any such amount determined pursuant to this Section 2.08(a) shall be computed on the basis of the net effect of any Increased Cost Changes incurred by such Bank or Issuing Bank from time to time after the Effective Date of this Agreement.  For all purposes of this Section 2.08, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank 

for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor similar authority) or the United States or foreign financial regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case, if they shall have any of the effects referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.08(a), be deemed to be an “Increased Cost Change”, whether enacted, adopted, promulgated or issued before or after the date of this Agreement.

(b)  If any Bank or Issuing Bank shall have determined in good faith that the adoption or issuance, after the date of this Agreement, of any applicable law, rule, regulation, guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law but with respect to which similarly situated banks generally comply) (a “Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Rule”), or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (any such adoption, issuance or change of a Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Rule being called a “Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Change”), or compliance therewith by any Bank or Issuing Bank (or any lending office of such Bank or Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank or Issuing Bank), has the net effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such Bank’s commitment to make, or the making or maintaining of, any Loans hereunder or such Bank’s participations in Letters of Credit, or such Issuing Bank’s issuance of Letters of Credit, or obligation to issue Letters of Credit, to a level below that which such Bank or Issuing Bank (or any such corporation controlling such Bank or Issuing Bank) would have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s (or such controlling corporation’s) policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity and any Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Rule in effect as of the date of this Agreement) by an amount deemed by such Bank or Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time the Company shall, subject to Section 2.08(d) hereof, pay to such Bank or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank (or such controlling corporation) for such reduction as provided in Section 2.08(c) hereof; provided, however, that to the extent (i) a Bank or Issuing Bank (or such controlling corporation) shall increase its level of capital or liquidity above the level maintained by such Bank or Issuing Bank (or such controlling corporation) on the date of this Agreement and there has not been a Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Change, or (ii) there has been a Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Change and a Bank or Issuing Bank (or such controlling corporation) shall increase its level of capital or liquidity by an amount greater than the increase attributable (taking into consideration the same variables taken into consideration in determining the level of capital or liquidity maintained by such Bank or Issuing Bank (or such controlling corporation) on the date of this Agreement) to such Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Change, the Company shall not be required to pay any amount or amounts under this Agreement with respect to any such increase in capital or liquidity.  Thus, for example, a Bank which is “adequately capitalized” (as such term or any similar term is used by any applicable bank regulatory agency having authority with respect to such Bank) may not require the Company to make payments in respect of increases in such Bank’s level of capital made under the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above which improve its capital position from “adequately capitalized” to “well capitalized” (as such term or any similar term is used by any applicable bank regulatory agency having authority with respect to such

Bank).  For all purposes of this Section 2.08, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor similar authority) or the United States or foreign financial regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case, if they shall have any of the effects referred to in the first sentence of this Section 2.08(b), be deemed to be a “Capital Adequacy Change”, whether enacted, adopted, promulgated or issued before or after the date of this Agreement.

(c)  A certificate of each Bank or Issuing Bank setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank (or a Participant pursuant to Section 10.06(b) hereof) as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.08, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Company at the end of each Calendar Quarter during which such Bank is an Affected Bank or such Issuing Bank is affected by the events referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.08, and upon the taking by the Company in respect of such Bank or Issuing Bank of one of the actions described in paragraph (e)(ii) or (e)(iv) of this Section 2.08 and shall, if submitted in good faith, be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that any certificate delivered by a Bank or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) shall (i) in the case of a certificate in respect of amounts payable pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.08, set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the calculation of such amounts, and (ii) in the case of a certificate in respect of amounts payable pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08, (A) set forth at least the same amount of detail in respect of the calculation of such amount as such Bank or Issuing Bank provides in similar circumstances to other similarly situated borrowers from such Bank or Issuing Bank, and (B) include a statement by such Bank or Issuing Bank that it has allocated to its Revolving Credit Commitment or outstanding Loans a proportionately equal amount of any reduction of the rate of return on such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or liquidity due to a Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Rule as it has allocated to each of its other commitments to lend or to each of its other outstanding loans that are affected similarly by such Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Rule.  The Company shall pay each Bank or Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company takes one of the actions in respect of any such Bank or Issuing Bank described in paragraph (e)(ii) or (e)(iv) of this Section 2.08 and (ii) 30 days after receipt by the Company of such certificate.

(d)  Subject to the following provisions of this Section 2.08(d), failure on the part of any Bank or Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any amounts payable pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 2.08 with respect to any Interest Period or other period shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s rights to demand compensation for any such amounts with respect to any other Interest Period or other period.  In the case of any Increased Cost Change which is given retroactive effect to a date prior to the adoption thereof, a Bank or Issuing Bank shall be entitled to seek compensation in respect thereof pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.08 for the period commencing on such retroactive effective date and, in the case of any Bank, ending on the date on which the Company takes one of the actions in respect of such Bank described in paragraph (e)(ii) or (e)(iv) of this Section 2.08; provided, however, that (i) if such Bank or Issuing Bank shall fail

to notify the Company within 30 days after the date of official promulgation of such Increased Cost Change occurring after the date hereof that it will demand such compensation, the period for which such Bank or Issuing Bank shall be entitled to seek compensation in respect thereof shall commence on the date which is 30 days prior to such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s notice that it will demand compensation, and (ii) if any Increased Cost Change occurring after the date hereof is given retroactive effect to a date which is more than three months prior to the date of adoption thereof, the Company’s liability to pay compensation to such Bank or Issuing Bank in respect thereof for any period prior to the date which is three months prior to the adoption thereof shall, subject to the foregoing clause (i) of this proviso, be equal to 50% of the amount required to compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank in respect of such Increased Cost Change with respect to such period.  In the case of any Increased Cost Change occurring after the date hereof which is given only prospective effect, a Bank or Issuing Bank shall be entitled to seek compensation in respect thereof pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.08 for the period commencing on the later of (A) the date on which such Increased Cost Change becomes effective and (B) the date 30 days prior to the notice by such Bank or Issuing Bank that it will demand such compensation, and, in the case of any Bank, ending on the date on which the Company takes one of the actions in respect of such Bank described in paragraph (e)(ii) or (e)(iv) of this Section 2.08.  In the case of any Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Change occurring after the date hereof, a Bank or Issuing Bank shall be entitled to seek compensation in respect thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08 only with respect to costs or reductions commencing on the later of (A) the date on which such Capital Adequacy or Liquidity Rule becomes effective and (B) the date 45 days prior to the notice by such Bank or Issuing Bank that it will demand such compensation, and, in the case of any Bank, ending on the date on which the Company takes one of the actions in respect of such Bank described in paragraph (e)(ii) or (e)(iv) of this Section 2.08.

(e)  In the event that any Affected Bank shall have given notice that it is entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Company may exercise any one or more of the following options:

(i)  If any such claim for compensation relates to Loans then being requested by the Company pursuant to a notice of Borrowing as provided in this Article II (or, in the case of claims for compensation pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 2.08, any such claim relates to Loans outstanding during the Interest Period most recently ended and the Company has requested Eurodollar Loans pursuant to such a notice of Borrowing), the Company may, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the requested Loans were to have been made, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which the requested Loans were to have been made, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, by giving notice (by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter), facsimile or e-mail) to the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall transmit to each of the Banks otherwise required to participate in the requested Loans as soon as practicable thereafter) irrevocably withdraw such notice of Borrowing.

(ii)  The Company may request one or more of the non-Affected Banks to take over all (but not part) of each or any Affected Bank’s then outstanding Loan(s) and to assume all (but not part) of each or any Affected Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment and obligations hereunder.  If one or more Banks shall so agree in writing (in this Section 2.08(e)(ii), in Section 2.12(c)(i) hereof, in Section 2.13(i) hereof and in Section 4.03(b)(ii) hereof, collectively called the “Assenting Banks” and individually called an “Assenting Bank”) with respect to an Affected Bank, (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Assenting Bank and the obligations of such Assenting Bank under this Agreement shall be increased by its respective Allocable Share of the Revolving Credit Commitment and of the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement, and (y) each Assenting Bank shall make Loans to the Company, according to such Assenting Bank’s respective Allocable Share, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, on a date mutually acceptable to the Assenting Banks and the Company.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such assumption by the Assenting Bank and prepayment by the Company, such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07 hereof).

(iii)  Upon notice (by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter),  facsimile or e-mail) to the Administrative Agent (which shall advise each Bank thereof as soon as practicable thereafter), the Company may terminate the obligations of the Banks to make or maintain Loans which result in the Affected Banks making a demand for compensation pursuant to this Section 2.08 and, in such event, the Company shall refinance all such Loans with Loans which, at the time of such refinancing, would not result in such Banks making such demand for compensation, such refinancing to be conducted in the manner contemplated by and pursuant to Section 2.06 or Section 4.02 hereof.

(iv)  (A)  The Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to assume the Revolving Credit Commitment and the obligations of any such Affected Bank hereunder, and to purchase the outstanding Loans and Notes of such Affected Bank and such Affected Bank’s rights hereunder and with respect thereto, without recourse upon, or warranty by, or expense to, such Affected Bank, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank plus all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including the amount which would be payable to such Affected Bank pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof if the purchase of its Loans and Notes constituted a prepayment thereof contemplated by clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 3.04 hereof), and upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Lenders, each such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for

purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07 hereof).

(B)  As an alternative, the Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) which shall upon a date mutually agreed upon by the Company and such Replacement Lenders assume the Revolving Credit Commitment and the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement and shall upon such date make Loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such Replacement Lenders making such Loans and such prepayment by the Company, such Replacement Lenders shall be deemed to be “Banks” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07 hereof).  Each such Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documentation to evidence its status as a “Bank” hereunder as shall be mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent.  The effectiveness of each Replacement Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, the making of such Loans by such Replacement Lenders and the prepayment by the Company of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously for all purposes hereof.

(f)  If in respect of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan made by a Bank under Section 2.01 hereof such Bank shall be required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D, the Company shall pay to such Bank in accordance with this Section 2.08(f) an additional amount representing such Bank’s actual costs, if any, incurred during such Interest Period as a result of the applicability of the foregoing reserves to such Eurodollar Loan, which amount (i) shall be based on the effective rate at which such reserve requirements are imposed on such Bank for such Interest Period, (ii) shall be allocated to the Company in no proportionately greater amount than such Bank would allocate such costs to its other borrowers of Eurodollar Loans to which such costs are applicable if the provisions of this Section 2.08(f) applied to all such borrowers, and (iii) in any event shall not exceed the product of the following for each day of such Interest Period:

(A)  the principal amount of the Eurodollar Loan outstanding on such day made by such Bank to which such Interest Period relates; and

(B)  a percentage equal to (x) the result obtained by dividing the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Loan by the number one minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed by the Board on such date, minus (y) the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; and

(C)  a fraction the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is 360.

To be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.08(f) in respect of any Interest Period, such Bank must notify the Company of its demand for such compensation within 30 days after the end of such Interest Period.  A certificate of such Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the calculation of such amount necessary to compensate such Bank pursuant to this Section 2.08(f) shall be delivered to the Company with such notice and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  In no event shall the Company be obligated to make any payment to any Bank pursuant to this Section 2.08(f) if such payment would result in a duplication of payments pursuant to this Section 2.08(f) and any other provision of this Section 2.08.

(g)  In the event that any Affected Bank shall have given notice that it is entitled to claim compensation pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 2.08, the Company may exercise any one or more of the options set forth in Section 2.08(e) hereof.

(h)  In the event that the Company shall take any of the actions contemplated by Section 2.08(e)(ii) or Section 2.08(e)(iv) hereof, the Company shall provide replacement Notes at the request of any Assenting Bank or any Replacement Lender, as the case may be, to reflect the identity of, and/or the outstanding amount of the Loans of, and/or the principal amount of such Notes issued to, such Assenting Bank or such Replacement Lender, and Schedule I and Schedule II hereto shall be deemed amended to reflect the addition of such Replacement Lender and any increases or decreases in the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Affected Banks and the Assenting Banks, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.09.  Pro Rata Treatment.  Except as permitted under Section 2.06, Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 4.01(b) and 4.01(c) and Section 4.03 hereof, (i) each payment by the Company on account of any fees pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof shall be made pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts due and owing, (ii) each payment by the Company on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective amounts due and owing, and (iii) each prepayment on account of principal of the Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans and the Competitive Loans, as directed by the Company, pro rata according to the respective amounts outstanding.

SECTION 2.10.  Payments.  Except for payments made directly to a Bank or Banks or to an Issuing Bank under other provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall make each payment hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day when due, in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 383 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10179, for the account of the Banks, in immediately available funds (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Bank its proper share of each payment so received.

SECTION 2.11.  Payments on Business Days.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (unless, with respect to a payment relating to a

Eurodollar Loan, such day would fall in another calendar month, in which event payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day).

SECTION 2.12.  Net Payments.  (a)   All payments under this Agreement shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments (after deduction or withholding by the Company or the Administrative Agent for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (herein collectively called the “Taxes”)) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement and the Notes had no such deduction or withholding been made on account of any Indemnified Taxes.  The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on payments made under this second sentence of this Section 2.12(a)) and any reasonable and necessary expenses  incurred.  For the Administrative Agent, a Bank or an Issuing Bank to be entitled to compensation for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.12, (i) in the case of compensation for United States Federal income or withholding Taxes in respect of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank must notify the Company by the later of (x) 30 days after the end of such Interest Period or (y) 30 days after the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank receives a written claim for such Tax from any government, political subdivision or taxing authority with respect to such Interest Period and (ii) in the case of compensation for any United States Tax other than a United States Federal income or withholding Tax in respect of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent, such Bank or the Issuing Bank must notify the Company within 30 days after the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank receives a written claim for such Tax from any government, political subdivision or taxing authority with respect to such Interest Period.  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Issuing Bank under this Section 2.12 submitted to the Company by the Administrative Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank shall show in reasonable detail the amount payable and the calculations used to determine such amount and shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of manifest error.  With respect to each deduction or withholding by the Company for or on account of any Taxes, the Company shall promptly (and in any event not later than 45 days thereafter) furnish to the Administrative Agent such certificates, receipts and other documents as may be required (in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent) to establish evidence of such payment of Taxes.

(b)  (i)  Each Bank and Issuing Bank agrees to deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company, in duplicate, (A) on or before the later of (x) the Effective Date and (y) the date such Bank or Issuing Bank becomes a Bank or Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (B) thereafter, for each third taxable year of such Bank or Issuing Bank during which interest or fees arising under this Agreement are received, unless not legally able to do so as a result of a change in United States income tax law enacted, or treaty promulgated, after the date specified in the preceding clause (A), on or prior to the immediately following due date of any payment by the Company hereunder (or at any other time as required under United States income tax law or as reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent), a properly completed and executed copy of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or Internal Revenue

Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax and any additional form required by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent for claiming complete exemption from United States withholding taxes (or such other form as is required to claim complete exemption from or reduction in United States withholding taxes), if and as provided by the Code, regulations or other pronouncements of the United States Internal Revenue Service, and the Bank or Issuing Bank warrants to the Company that the form so filed will be true and complete.  In the event that the Company is required, or has been notified by the relevant taxing authority that it will be required, to either withhold or make payment of Taxes with respect to any payments to be made by the Company under this Agreement or the Notes to any transferor Bank and such requirement or notice arises as a result of the sale of a participation by such transferor Bank pursuant to Section 10.06(b) hereof, such transferor Bank shall, upon request by the Company, accompanied by a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such request, provide to the Company copies of all tax forms required to be provided to such transferor Bank pursuant to Section 10.06(g) hereof by the Participant which purchased such participation.  The obligation of each transferor Bank to provide to the Company such tax forms shall survive the termination of this Agreement or, if earlier, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such transferor Bank. Each Bank and Issuing Bank agrees that if any form or certificate if previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(ii)  On or before the date on which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., (and any successor or replacement Administrative Agent) becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall deliver to the Company two duly executed copies of either (A) Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or (B) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (certifying that it is either a “qualified intermediary” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(e)(5) that has assumed primary withholding obligations under the Code, including Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code, or a “U.S. branch” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) that is treated as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding obligations under the Code) for the amounts the Administrative Agent receives for the account of others.  The Administrative Agent (or, upon assignment or replacement, any assignee or successor) agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company in writing of its inability do so.

(iii)  If a payment made to any Bank or any Issuing Bank under this Agreement or the Notes would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank or such Issuing Bank 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 Bank or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company, in duplicate and at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Company, 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 Administrative Agent or the Company as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Company to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank or such Issuing Bank. as applicable, has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 2.12(b)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(c)  In the event that any Affected Bank shall have given notice that it is entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Company may at any time thereafter exercise any one or more of the following options:

(i)  The Company may request one or more of the non-Affected Banks to take over all (but not part) of each or any Affected Bank’s then outstanding Loan(s) and to assume all (but not part) of each or any Affected Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment and obligations hereunder.  If one or more Banks shall so agree in writing with respect to an Affected Bank, (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Assenting Bank and the obligations of such Assenting Bank under this Agreement shall be increased by its respective Allocable Share of the Revolving Credit Commitment and of the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement, and (y) each Assenting Bank shall make Loans to the Company, according to such Assenting Bank’s respective Allocable Share, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, on a date mutually acceptable to the Assenting Banks and the Company.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon, and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such assumption by the Assenting Banks and prepayment by the Company, such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07 hereof).

(ii)  (A)  The Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to assume the Revolving Credit Commitment and the obligations of any such Affected Bank hereunder, and to purchase the outstanding Loans and Notes of such Affected Bank and such Affected Bank’s rights hereunder and with respect thereto, without recourse upon, or warranty by, or expense to, such Affected Bank, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank plus all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including the amount which would be payable to such Affected Bank pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof if the purchase of its Loans and Notes constituted a prepayment thereof contemplated by clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 3.04 hereof), and upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Lenders, each such Replacement Lender shall be declared to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this

Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07 hereof).

(B)  As an alternative, the Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) which shall upon a date mutually agreed upon by the Company and such Replacement Lenders assume the Revolving Credit Commitment and the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement and shall upon such date make Loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such Replacement Lenders making such Loans and such prepayment by the Company, such Replacement Lenders shall be deemed to be “Banks” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07 hereof).  Each such Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documentation to evidence its status as a “Bank” hereunder as shall be mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent.  The effectiveness of each Replacement Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, the making of such Loans by such Replacement Lenders and the prepayment by the Company of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously for all purposes hereof.

(iii)  If any such claim for compensation relates to Loans then being requested by the Company pursuant to a notice of Borrowing as provided in Article II hereof, the Company may, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the requested Loans were to have been made, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which the requested Loans were to have been made, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, by giving notice (by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter), facsimile or e-mail) to the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall transmit to each of the Banks otherwise required to participate in the requested Loans as soon as practicable thereafter) irrevocably withdraw such notice of Borrowing.

(d)  The Company shall provide replacement Notes at the request of any Assenting Bank or any Replacement Lender, as the case may be, to reflect the identity of, and/or the outstanding amount of the Loans of, and/or the principal amount of such Notes issued to, such Assenting Bank or such Replacement Lender, and Schedule I and Schedule II hereto shall be deemed amended to reflect the addition of such Replacement Lender and any increases or decreases in the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Affected Banks and the Assenting Banks, as the case may be.

(e)  Each Bank and each Issuing Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so) attributable to such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement 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 government, political subdivision or taxing authority.  The indemnity under this Section 2.12(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Bank or such Issuing Bank a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent.  Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(f)  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 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), 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 paragraph (f) (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 (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) 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 (f) 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.

SECTION 2.13.  Defaulting Banks; Failed and Credit-Impaired Banks; Declining Banks.  If (a) a Bank shall be a Defaulting Bank, (b) either of Moody’s or S&P shall assign a rating to the senior, unsecured, non-credit-enhanced, long-term indebtedness for borrowed money of a Bank which shall be classified by such rating agency as below investment grade, (c) Fitch shall assign an individual bank rating to a Bank which shall fall below C/D, (d) the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice stating, as to any Bank which has senior, unsecured, non-credit-enhanced, long-term indebtedness for borrowed money which is not rated by any of the rating agencies referred to in the preceding clause (b), that it reasonably believes such Bank will become a Defaulting Bank or become unable to perform its obligations as a Bank hereunder or (e) a Bank shall become a Declining Bank, then the Company may at any time thereafter, subject to applicable law, exercise any one or more of the following options:

(i)  The Company may request one or more of the non-Affected Banks to take over all (but not part) of each or any Affected Bank’s then outstanding Loan(s) and to assume all (but not part) of each or any Affected Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment and obligations hereunder.  If one or more Banks shall so agree in writing with respect to an Affected Bank, (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Assenting Bank and the obligations of such Assenting Bank under this Agreement shall be increased by its respective Allocable Share of the Revolving Credit Commitment and of the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement, and (y) each Assenting Bank shall make Loans to the Company, according to such Assenting Bank’s respective Allocable Share, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, on a date mutually acceptable to the Assenting Banks and the Company.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (excluding, in the case of an event referred to in clause (a) of this Section 2.13, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such assumption by the Assenting Bank and prepayment by the Company, such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07 hereof).

(ii)  (A)  The Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to assume the Revolving Credit Commitment and the obligations of any such Affected Bank hereunder, and to purchase the outstanding Loans and Notes of such Affected Bank and such Affected Bank’s rights hereunder and with respect thereto, without recourse upon, or warranty by, or expense to, such Affected Bank, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank plus all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including the amount which would be payable to such Affected Bank pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof if the purchase of its Loans and Notes constituted a prepayment thereof contemplated by clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 3.04 hereof), and upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Lenders, each such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07 hereof).

(B)  As an alternative, the Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) which shall upon a date mutually agreed upon by the Company and such Replacement Lenders assume the Revolving Credit Commitment and the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement and shall upon such date make Loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of

such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such Replacement Lenders making such Loans and such prepayment by the Company, such Replacement Lenders shall be deemed to be “Banks” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07 hereof).  Each such Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documentation to evidence its status as a “Bank” hereunder as shall be mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent.  The effectiveness of each Replacement Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, the making of such Loans by such Replacement Lenders and the prepayment by the Company of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously for all purposes hereof.

The Company shall provide replacement Notes at the request of any Assenting Bank or any Replacement Lender, as the case may be, to reflect the identity of, and/or the outstanding amount of the Loans of, and/or the principal amount of such Notes issued to, such Assenting Bank or such Replacement Lender, and Schedule I and Schedule II hereto shall be deemed amended to reflect the addition of such Replacement Lender and any increases or decreases in the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Affected Banks and the Assenting Banks, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.14.  Defaulting Banks.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(a)  Facility Fees shall cease to accrue on the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.07(a);

(b)  the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether the Required Banks or any other requisite Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.01); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Banks or all Banks affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.01, require the consent of such Defaulting Bank in accordance with the terms hereof;

(c)  if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank then:

(i)  the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Bank (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Bank shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.03(d) and 2.03(e)) shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Proportional Shares but only to the extent that the sum of all Non-Defaulting Banks’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure (excluding the

portion thereof referred to above) does not exceed the sum of all Non-Defaulting Banks’ Revolving Credit Commitments;

(ii)  if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in such clause (i)) that has not been reallocated, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(j), for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)  if the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall not be required to pay participation fees to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.07(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure for so long as such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv)  if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Bank is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the participation fees payable to the Banks pursuant to Section 2.07(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and

(v)  if all or any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in clause (i) above) is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Bank hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.07(b) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(vi)  so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Bank’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be fully covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral provided by the Company in accordance with Section 2.03(j), and participating interests in any such issued, amended, renewed or extended Letter of Credit will be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with Section 2.14(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Bank shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company and each Issuing Bank each agree that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then the LC Exposures of the Banks shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks (other than Competitive Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with its Proportional Share.  Subject to Section 10.19, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a

Defaulting Bank arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such Non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

SECTION 3.01.  Interest on Loans.  (a)  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02 hereof, each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus (i) in the case of each Competitive Loan, the Margin specified by a Bank with respect to such Loan in its Competitive Bid submitted pursuant to Section 2.02(c) hereof, and (ii) in the case of each Revolving Credit Loan, the Applicable Margin.  Interest on each Eurodollar Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto.

(b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02 hereof, each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (i) over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, and (ii) over a year of 360 days if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the NYFRB Rate or the Eurodollar Rate) equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.  Interest on each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto.

(c)  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02 hereof, each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the fixed rate of interest offered by the Competitive Bid Bank making such Loan and accepted by the Company pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof.  Interest on each Fixed Rate Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto.

(d)  Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the first day of the Interest Period with respect to such Loan to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period.

SECTION 3.02.  Interest on Overdue Amounts.  If the Company shall default in the payment when due of the principal of any Loan or of any other amount due hereunder (other than any amount not paid as a result of a Bank Funding Default for the period from which such Bank Funding Default commences to the date on which the failure to pay such amount due would become an Event of Default), the Company shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount from the date such amount shall have become due up to (but not including) the date of actual payment thereof (x) for other than Eurodollar Loans, accruing on a daily basis, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate or on the basis of a year of 360 days if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the NYFRB Rate or the Eurodollar Rate) which is equal to the sum of (i) the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect, plus (ii) the Applicable Margin applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans plus (iii) two percent (2%) per annum, or (y) for any Eurodollar Loan, until the last day of the Interest Period therefor, accruing on a daily basis at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) which is equal to the sum of (i) the Interest Rate applicable thereto determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01(a) hereof plus (ii) two

percent (2%) per annum and, thereafter, in accordance with clause (x) above.  If the Company shall default in the payment when due of the principal of any Loan or of any other amount due hereunder as a result of a Bank Funding Default, for the period from which such Bank Funding Default commences to the date on which the failure to pay such amount due would become an Event of Default or, if earlier, to (but not including) the date of actual payment thereof, the Company shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) for other than Eurodollar Loans, the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate or on the basis of a year of 360 days if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the NYFRB Rate or the Eurodollar Rate), or (y) for any Eurodollar Loan, until the last day of the Interest Period therefor, at the Interest Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Loan determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01(a) hereof, and thereafter, in accordance with clause (x) above; provided, however, that interest payable by the Company for the period set forth above on defaulted amounts not paid to a Bank as a result of such Bank’s Bank Funding Default shall be payable at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Interest Rate that would have been applicable to the Loan or Loans that were the subject of such Bank’s Bank Funding Default, and (ii) the applicable Interest Rate set forth in clause (x) or (y) above, as the case may be.

SECTION 3.03.  Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate.  (a)  In the event, and on each occasion, that the Company has accepted a Competitive Bid with respect to a Eurodollar Loan and, on or before the date on which the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period relating to such Loan is to be determined, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the Interest Rate applicable to such Loan during such Interest Period, then, and in any such event, the Competitive Bid Request submitted by the Company with respect to such Loan and the Competitive Bid submitted by the Competitive Bid Bank and accepted by the Company with respect to such Loan shall both be deemed to be rescinded and of no force and effect whatsoever.  The Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice of such determination by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or e-mail) to the Company and to such Competitive Bid Bank.  Each such determination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error.

(b)  In the event, and on each occasion, that on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Revolving Credit Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan:

(i)  the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate (including, without limitation, because the Eurodollar Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; or

(ii)  the Required Banks advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period;

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and the Banks, whereupon, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (A) any request for the conversion of any Revolving Credit Loan to, or continuation of any Revolving Credit Loan as, a Eurodollar Loan (including any such conversion or continuation arising from the refinancing provisions of Section 2.06 hereof) shall be ineffective, (B) any Eurodollar Loan that is requested to be continued (including any such continuation arising from the refinancing provisions of Section 2.06 hereof) shall be continued as an Alternate Base Rate Loan and (C) any request for a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan shall be (1) in the case of any such request or deemed request pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof, deemed to be a request for an Alternate Base Rate Loan and (2) otherwise, deemed to be rescinded and of no force and effect whatsoever.

(c)  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in paragraph (b)(i) of this Section 3.03 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in paragraph (b)(i) of this Section 3.03 have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurodollar Screen Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurodollar Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to that based on the Eurodollar Screen Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans denominated in Dollars in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as the Administrative Agent and the Company may determine to be appropriate (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); provided that if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for all purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date a copy of such amendment is provided to the Banks, a written notice from the Required Banks stating that such Required Banks object to such amendment.  Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph (c) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph (c), only to the extent the Eurodollar Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), clauses (A), (B) and (C) of paragraph (b) of this Section 3.03 shall be applicable.

SECTION 3.04.  Indemnity.  The Company shall compensate each Bank, upon written request by such Bank (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses and expenses in respect of any interest paid by such Bank (or

its lending branch or affiliate) to lenders of funds borrowed by it or deposited with it to make or maintain its Loans (other than Alternate Base Rate Loans) which such Bank (or its lending branch or affiliate) may sustain, to the extent not otherwise compensated for hereunder and not mitigated by the reemployment of such funds:  (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Bank) a Borrowing of any Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a notice of Borrowing given pursuant to Article II hereof, (ii) if any prepayment (other than a prepayment under Section 2.13(i) resulting from an event referred to in clause (a) of Section 2.13 hereof) or repayment of its Loans (other than Alternate Base Rate Loans) occurs on a date which is not the expiration date of the relevant Interest Period, (iii) if any prepayment of its Loans (other than Alternate Base Rate Loans) is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Company (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 4.01 and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (iv) as a consequence of any default by the Company under this Agreement.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify each Bank against any loss or expense which such Bank (or its lending branch or affiliate) may sustain or incur as a consequence of the default by the Company in payment of principal of or interest on any Loan (other than any Alternate Base Rate Loan), or any part thereof, or of any amount due under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any premium or penalty incurred by such Bank (or its lending branch or affiliate), in respect of funds borrowed by it or deposited with it for the purpose of making or maintaining such Loan (other than any Alternate Base Rate Loan), as determined by such Bank in the exercise of its sole discretion.  A certificate as to any such loss or expense (including calculations, in reasonable detail, showing how such Bank computed such loss or expense) shall be promptly submitted by such Bank to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof.

SECTION 3.05.  Rate Determination Conclusive.  The applicable Interest Rate for each Interest Period with respect to each Loan (other than any Fixed Rate Loan) shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive and, subject to Section 3.03 and Section 4.03 hereof, binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of manifest error.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the request in writing of the Company or any Bank, deliver to the Company or such Bank a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any Interest Rate in respect of the Loans payable by the Company.

SECTION 4.01.  Reduction, Termination, Increase or Extension of the Total Commitment.  (a)  The Company may, from time to time on at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice (by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter) facsimile or e-mail) received by the Administrative Agent (which shall advise each Bank thereof as soon as practicable thereafter), permanently reduce the Total Commitment (such reduction shall reduce each Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment ratably according to its respective Proportional Share of the amount of such reduction and Schedule I hereto shall be deemed amended to reflect the reduction in such Revolving Credit Commitments) but only upon (a) repayment of that portion of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans which, together

with the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Loans then outstanding and the LC Exposure, exceeds the amount of the Total Commitment as so reduced (such repayment to be applied to each Bank’s Revolving Credit Loans in the same proportion as its Revolving Credit Commitment is reduced), and (b) payment to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Banks, of the Facility Fees on the portion of the Total Commitment so reduced which have accrued through the date of such reduction; provided, however, the Company may not so reduce the Total Commitment at any time to an amount less than the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Loans then outstanding and the LC Exposure.  Any such reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $50,000,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000,000 in excess of $50,000,000.  The Company may at any time, on like notice, terminate the Total Commitment (and each Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment) upon payment in full of all Loans and the accrued interest thereon and the Facility Fees accrued through the date of such termination; provided, however, that the Company may not terminate the Total Commitment at any time that Competitive Loans are outstanding or there is any LC Exposure (unless arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Banks shall have been made with respect thereto).  Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Total Commitment delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b)  (i)  The Company may, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Company, each Issuing Bank and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section 4.01(b) being called an “Increasing Bank”), which may include any Bank, cause new Revolving Credit Commitments to be extended by the Increasing Banks or cause the existing Revolving Credit Commitments of the Increasing Banks to be increased, as the case may be (any such extension or increase, a “Commitment Increase”), in an amount for each Increasing Bank set forth in such notice; provided, that (A) the aggregate amount by which the Total Commitment is increased as a result of any Commitment Increase shall be an integral multiple of $50,000,000, (B) at no time shall the aggregate amount of all increases in the Total Commitment effected under this Section 4.01(b) exceed $1,000,000,000, (C) each Increasing Bank, if not already a Bank hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (D) each Increasing Bank, if not already a Bank hereunder, shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed accession agreement in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company (an “Accession Agreement”).  New Revolving Credit Commitments and increases in Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 4.01(b) shall become effective on the date specified in the applicable notice delivered pursuant to this paragraph.  Upon the effectiveness of any Accession Agreement to which any Increasing Bank is a party, (A) such Increasing Bank shall thereafter be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Bank hereunder and subject to all obligations of a Bank hereunder and (B) Schedule I shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Increasing Bank as provided in such Accession Agreement.  Upon the effectiveness of any increase pursuant to this Section in the

Revolving Credit Commitment of a Bank already a party hereto, Schedule I shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the increased Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank.

(ii)  On the effective date of any Commitment Increase pursuant to this paragraph (b) (the “Increase Effective Date”), (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding (for the purposes of this Section 4.01(b)(ii), the “Initial Loans”) immediately prior to giving effect to the applicable Commitment Increase on the Increase Effective Date shall be deemed to be repaid, (B) after the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase, the Company shall be deemed to have made new Revolving Credit Borrowings (for the purposes of this Section 4.01(b)(ii), the “Subsequent Borrowings”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loans and of the types and for the Interest Periods specified in a notice delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.01, (C) each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the difference, if positive, between (x) such Bank’s Proportional Share (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Subsequent Borrowings and (y) such Bank’s Proportional Share (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Initial Loans, (D) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clause (C) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Bank the portion of such funds that is equal to the difference, if positive, between (1) such Bank’s Proportional Share (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Initial Loans and (2) such Bank’s Proportional Share (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the amount of the Subsequent Borrowings, (E) each Increasing Bank and each other Bank shall be deemed to hold its Proportional Share of each Subsequent Borrowing (each calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) and (F) the Company shall pay each Increasing Bank and each other Bank any and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Initial Loans.  The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (A) above in respect of each Eurodollar Loan shall be subject to indemnification by the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.04 if the Increase Effective Date occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto and breakage costs result.

(iii)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Total Commitment (or in the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Bank) shall become effective under this paragraph (b) unless, on the date of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (c) of Section 7.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to the making of Loans being deemed to be references to such increase) and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have received an Officers’ Certificate to that effect dated such date.

(c)  The Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Banks) within the period not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days prior to any anniversary of the date hereof, but on not more than two occasions during the term of this Agreement, request that the Banks extend the Maturity Date and the Revolving Credit Commitments for an additional period of one year.  Each Bank shall, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Company’s extension request, advise the Company whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Bank

agreeing to a requested extension being called a “Consenting Bank” and each Bank declining to agree to a requested extension being called a “Declining Bank”).  Any Bank that has not so advised the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Declining Bank.  If Banks constituting the Required Banks shall have agreed to an extension request, then the Maturity Date shall, as to the Consenting Banks, be extended to the first anniversary of the Maturity Date theretofore in effect.  The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any Maturity Date extension shall be at the sole discretion of each Bank.  The Commitment of any Declining Bank shall terminate on the Maturity Date in effect as to such Bank prior to giving effect to any such extension (such Maturity Date being called the “Existing Maturity Date”).  The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by Declining Banks, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the accounts of such Declining Banks hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date, and on the Existing Maturity Date the Company shall also make such other prepayments of Loans as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and all payments to, Declining Banks pursuant to this sentence, the sum of (A) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and Competitive Loans and (B) the LC Exposure will not exceed the Total Commitment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Company shall have the right, at any time prior to the Existing Maturity Date, to take any of the actions set forth in Section 2.13 with respect to any Declining Bank, and any such Assenting Bank or Replacement Lender that shall have consented to the Company’s extension request shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Bank.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Maturity Date (without taking into consideration any extension pursuant to this paragraph (c)), as such term is used in reference to any Issuing Bank or any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, may not be extended without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall not have consented to any such extension, (i) such Issuing Bank shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder through the Existing Maturity Date, and thereafter shall have no obligation to issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit (but shall, in each case, continue to be entitled to the benefits hereof as to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such time), and (ii) the Company shall cause the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to be zero no later than the day on which such LC Exposure would have been required to have been reduced to zero in accordance with the terms hereof without giving effect to any effectiveness of the extension of the applicable Existing Maturity Date pursuant to this paragraph (c) (and, in any event, no later than the Existing Maturity Date)) and (B) no extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall become effective unless (i) on the anniversary of the date hereof that immediately follows the date on which the Company delivers the applicable request for extension of the Maturity Date, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (c) of Section 7.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to the making of Loans being deemed to be references to such extension) and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received an Officers’ Certificate to that effect dated such date.

SECTION 4.02.  Prepayments.  (a)  The Company may from time to time, upon at least (i) one (1) Business Day’s prior notice (in the event such notice pertains to Alternate Base Rate Loans) or (ii) three (3) Business Days’ prior notice (in the event such notice pertains

to Eurodollar Loans) (by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter), facsimile or e-mail) received by the Administrative Agent (prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, in the event such notice pertains to Alternate Base Rate Loans) (which shall advise each Bank thereof as soon as practicable thereafter), prepay any Revolving Credit Borrowing in whole or in part, without, except as provided in Section 3.04 hereof, premium or penalty (such prepayment to be pro rata to the Banks according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans made by them); provided, however, that each such partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount of $50,000,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000,000 in excess of $50,000,000.  Except as provided in Section 2.08(e)(ii), Section 2.08(e)(iii), Section 2.12(c)(i), Section 2.12(c)(ii), Section 2.13(i), Section 2.13(ii), Section 4.03(a), Section 4.03(b)(ii) or Section 4.03(b)(iii) hereof, the Company shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive Borrowing.

(b)  Each notice of prepayment shall specify the Borrowing to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the aggregate principal to be prepaid, and shall be irrevocable; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Total Commitment as contemplated by Section 4.01(a), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 4.01(a).  All prepayments under this Section 4.02 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment.

SECTION 4.03.  Required Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Prepayment.  (a)  In the event that at any time any Affected Bank shall have reasonably determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of manifest error) that the making or continuation of its Revolving Credit Commitment to make Eurodollar Loans or its Eurodollar Loans have become unlawful under any applicable law, governmental rule, requirement, regulation, guideline or order, then, and in any such event, such Affected Bank shall as soon as practicable give notice (by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter), facsimile or e-mail) to the Company and to the Administrative Agent (which shall transmit such notice to each of the Banks as soon as practicable thereafter), of such determination.  Thereupon, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Affected Bank and the obligation of such Affected Bank to make or maintain its Loan(s) shall be terminated and the Company shall forthwith, and in any event no later than the earlier of (x) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date with respect to such Loan(s) or (y) ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Affected Bank under this Section 4.03(a), prepay the outstanding Loan(s) of such Affected Bank without premium or penalty, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof in connection with such prepayment).

(b)  In lieu of prepaying the Loan(s) of the Affected Bank as required by Section 4.03(a) hereof, the Company may exercise any one or more of the following options:

(i)  If such determination by an Affected Bank relates to Eurodollar Loans then being requested by the Company pursuant to a notice of Borrowing as provided in Section 2.01, 2.02 or 2.06 hereof, the Company may, not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such Loans were to have been made by giving notice (by telephone (confirmed in writing

promptly thereafter), facsimile or e-mail) to the Administrative Agent (which shall transmit such notice to each of the Banks otherwise required to participate in such Loans as soon as practicable thereafter) irrevocably withdraw such notice of Borrowing.

(ii)  The Company may request one or more of the non-Affected Banks to take over all (but not part) of each Affected Bank’s then outstanding Loan(s) and to assume all (but not part) of each Affected Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment and obligations hereunder.  If one or more Banks shall so agree in writing with respect to an Affected Bank, (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Assenting Bank and the obligations of such Assenting Bank under this Agreement shall be increased by its respective Allocable Share of the Revolving Credit Commitment and of the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement, and (y) each Assenting Bank shall make Loans to the Company, according to such Assenting Bank’s respective Allocable Share, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, on a date mutually acceptable to the Assenting Banks, such Affected Bank and the Company.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon, and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such assumption by the Assenting Banks and prepayment by the Company, such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07 hereof).  Any such prepayment shall occur prior to the time any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.03(a) hereof is required to be made.

(iii)  Upon notice (by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter), facsimile or e-mail) to the Administrative Agent (which shall advise each Bank thereof as soon as practicable thereafter), the Company may terminate the obligations of the Banks to make or maintain Loans as Eurodollar Loans and, in such event, the Company shall, prior to the time any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.03(a) hereof is required to be made, refinance all of the Eurodollar Loans with Alternate Base Rate Loans, or prepay such Eurodollar Loans, in the manner contemplated by and pursuant to Section 2.06 or Section 4.02 hereof, respectively.

(iv)  (A)  The Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to assume the Revolving Credit Commitment and the obligations of each such Affected Bank hereunder, and to purchase, prior to the time any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.03(a) hereof is required to be made, the outstanding Loans and Notes of such Affected Bank and such Affected Bank’s rights hereunder and with respect thereto, without recourse upon, or warranty by, or expense to, such Affected Bank, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank plus all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including the amount which would be payable to such Affected Bank pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof if the purchase of its Loans and Notes constituted a prepayment thereof contemplated by clause (ii) of the first sentence of

Section 3.04 hereof), and upon such assumption and purchase by the Replacement Lenders, each such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07 hereof).

(B)  As an alternative, the Company may designate one or more Replacement Lenders mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) which shall upon a date mutually agreed upon by the Company and such Replacement Lenders assume the Revolving Credit Commitment and the obligations of such Affected Bank under this Agreement and shall upon such date make Loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank.  The proceeds of such Loans, together with funds of the Company, shall be used to prepay the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof in connection with such prepayment), and, upon such Replacement Lenders making such Loans and such prepayment by the Company, such Replacement Lenders shall be deemed to be “Banks” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Bank shall cease to be a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any rights or obligations hereunder (except as provided in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.02, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07 hereof).  Each such Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documentation to evidence its status as a “Bank” hereunder as shall be mutually acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent.  The effectiveness of each Replacement Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, the making of such Loans by such Replacement Lenders and the prepayment by the Company of the Loan(s) of such Affected Bank shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously for all purposes hereof.

The Company shall provide replacement Notes at the request of any Assenting Bank or any Replacement Lender, as the case may be, to reflect the identity of, and/or the outstanding amount of the Loans of, and/or the principal amount of such Notes issued to, such Assenting Bank or such Replacement Lender, and Schedule I and Schedule II hereto shall be deemed amended to reflect the addition of such Replacement Lender and any increases or decreases in the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Affected Banks and the Assenting Banks, as the case may be.

SECTION 4.04.  Mandatory Termination of the Additional Commitments upon the Additional Commitment Termination Date.  (a) Unless previously terminated, the Additional Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Additional Commitment Termination Date.

(b)  Any termination of the Additional Commitments pursuant to this Section 4.04 shall be permanent. The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent within one Business Day of the termination of the Additional Commitments pursuant to this Section 4.04 and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank upon receipt of such notice.

(h)  with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) as to which the Company or any Related Person to the Company may have any liability, there shall exist an unfunded current liability under the Code which is material to the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, and (x) steps are undertaken to terminate such Plan or (y) such Plan is terminated or (z) any Reportable Event which presents a material risk of termination with respect to such Plan shall occur;

then, and in any such event (x) if such event relates to the Company and is described in clause (e) or clause (f) of this Section 8.01, (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall immediately terminate, and (ii) all sums then owing by the Company hereunder and under the Notes (and, in the event payment is to be made on a day which is not the expiration date of the relevant Interest Period, together with such amounts as will compensate each Bank in such Bank’s sole discretion for any losses incurred by it (or its lending branch or affiliate) in respect of funds borrowed by it or deposited with it for the purpose of making or maintaining its Loans hereunder) shall become and be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company, and (y) in the case of any other such event, the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Required Banks, at the same or different times, take one or more of the following actions:  (i) declare the Revolving Credit Commitments to be terminated, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments shall forthwith terminate, or (ii) declare all sums then owing by the Company hereunder and under the Notes to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon all such sums (and, in the event payment is to be made on a day which is not the expiration date of the relevant Interest Period, together with such amounts as will compensate each Bank in such Bank’s sole discretion for any losses incurred by it (or its lending branch or affiliate) in respect of funds borrowed by it or deposited with it for the purpose of making or maintaining its Loans hereunder) shall become and be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company.  Promptly following the making of any such declaration, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and each Bank, but failure to do so or any delay in so doing shall not impair the effect of such declaration.

SECTION 9.01.  Appointment and Powers of the Administrative Agent.  Each Bank and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent its agent hereunder and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder as are specifically authorized to be exercised by the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such rights, remedies, powers and privileges as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its respective duties as the Administrative Agent hereunder by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of such counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.  The Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agents shall have no duties or responsibilities to any Bank or

Issuing Bank, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, or any fiduciary relationship with any Bank or Issuing Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any Documentation Agent.

SECTION 9.02.  Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither any Bank, Issuing Bank or Agent, nor any of their respective directors, officers or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; nor shall any Bank, Issuing Bank or Agent be responsible in any manner to any Person for the representations, warranties or other statements made by any other Person or for the due execution or delivery, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against the Company or any other obligor of this Agreement, the Notes or any other document furnished pursuant thereto or in connection herewith.  Neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers shall be under any obligation to any Bank or Issuing Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 9.03.  Reliance by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, statement, order, electronic communication or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Banks as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Bank or Issuing Bank for acting, or refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith in accordance with a request of the Required Banks, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Banks and all future holders of the Notes.

SECTION 9.04.  Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default hereunder unless it has received notice from a Bank or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Banks.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Banks; provided, however, that unless and until the

Administrative Agent shall have received such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks; provided further that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, power and authority to take the affirmative action specified in Section 8.01 hereof only upon the direction of the Required Banks.

SECTION 9.05.  Indemnification.  Each Bank hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, as an agent hereunder, from and against such Bank’s Proportional Share of any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or suffered by such Agent in such capacity as a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent in such capacity or otherwise incurred or suffered by, made upon, or assessed against such Agent in such capacity; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of any such losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs or expenses resulting from or attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Agent or its officers, employees or agents, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent each Agent is not otherwise reimbursed by the Company pursuant to Section 10.07, each Bank hereby agrees to reimburse such Agent promptly following its demand for such Bank’s Proportional Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Agent hereunder.  Each Bank’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement or, if earlier, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank, and the discharge of the Company’s obligations hereunder.

SECTION 9.06.  Nonreliance on the Agents and Other Banks.  Each Bank expressly acknowledges that neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any such Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Bank.  Each Bank represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company.

SECTION 9.07.  The Agents in Their Individual Capacities.  Each of the Agents and their affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder.  With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, any Note issued to it and any Letter of Credit issued by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Bank or

Issuing Bank, as applicable and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 9.08.  Excess Payments.  Except for payments made pursuant to Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 2.13 or Section 4.03 hereof, if any Bank shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Loan or its participations in any Letter of Credit in excess of its pro rata share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Banks on account of principal of and interest on Revolving Credit Loans and participations in Letters of Credit then held by them, such Bank shall purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Revolving Credit Loans and subparticipations in Letters of Credit held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that (i) if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee.  The Company agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 9.08 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including offset) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 9.09.  Obligations Several.  The obligations of the Banks hereunder are several, and neither any Bank nor the Agents shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Person hereunder, nor will the failure of any Bank to perform any of its obligations hereunder relieve the Administrative Agent or any other Bank from the performance of its respective obligations hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by the Banks or any Agent pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or pursuant to or in connection with the Notes, shall be deemed to constitute the Banks, together or with the Agents, a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.

SECTION 9.10.  Resignation by any Agent.  (a)  Any Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Company, the other Agents, the Banks and the Issuing Banks.  In the event of such resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Banks (with the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) in the event that there then does not exist an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default), shall as promptly as practicable appoint a successor Administrative Agent.

(b)  If the Person serving as the Administrative Agent (i) is a Defaulting Bank, the Borrower may, or (ii) is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Banks may, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to such Person (and to the Company, if such removal is by the Required Banks) remove such Person as the Administrative Agent. In such event, the Required Banks (with the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) in the event that

there then does not exist an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default) shall as promptly as practicable thereafter appoint a successor Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.11.  Titles.  The Documentation Agents and the Syndication Agent, in their capacities as such, shall have no rights, powers, duties, liabilities, fiduciary relationships or obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12.  ERISA Representations by the Banks.  (a)  Each Bank represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

SECTION 10.02.  Confidentiality.  (a)  Each Bank and Issuing Bank shall maintain in confidence and not publish, disseminate or disclose in any manner or to any Person and shall not use (x) any material, nonpublic information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries or (y) any technical, nonfinancial information, data or know-how which is identified in writing as confidential by the Company, in either case which may be furnished pursuant to this Agreement, including any such information which may be furnished pursuant to Article VI hereof (hereinafter collectively called “Confidential Information”), in each case, other than as permitted by the Company in writing and subject to each Bank’s and Issuing Bank’s (A) obligation to disclose any such Confidential Information pursuant to a request or order under applicable laws and regulations or pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process, (B) right to disclose any such Confidential Information to (i) bank examiners (and other regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over it or its affiliates), (ii) its affiliates, auditors, counsel, other professional advisors, other Banks, and other banks or other entities in connection with an offer by such Bank to sell a Participation to such other bank or other entity or to make an assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(c) hereof or (iii) market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to such Bank in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, (C) right to use any such Confidential Information in connection with the transactions set forth herein, and (D) right to disclose any such Confidential Information in connection with (i) any litigation or dispute involving the Banks or the Issuing Banks and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) any transfer or other disposition by such Bank of any of its loans or other extensions of credit to the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries; provided, however, that Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to clause (B)(ii), (B)(iii) or (D)(ii) of this sentence shall be so disclosed subject to such procedures as are reasonably calculated to maintain the confidentiality thereof; and provided further that Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to applicable laws, regulations, subpoenas or other legal process shall be so disclosed subject to such confidentiality provisions, if any, as may be provided under applicable law.  The Banks and the Issuing Banks agree, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to use their best efforts promptly to notify the Company in writing of each order, subpoena or other legal process providing for the disclosure and/or production of Confidential Information and shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, use their best efforts promptly to supply the Company with a copy of such order, subpoena or other legal process, in order that the Company may intervene in the relevant administrative or legal proceeding or take other appropriate legal action to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.02, (i) the foregoing obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to any such Confidential Information that was known to such Bank or Issuing Bank or any of their affiliates prior to the time it received such Confidential Information from the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, other than as a result of the disclosure thereof by a Person who, to the knowledge or reasonable belief of such Bank or Issuing Bank, was prohibited from disclosing it by any duty of confidentiality arising (under this Agreement or otherwise) by contract or law, and (ii) the foregoing obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to any such Confidential Information that becomes part of the public domain independently of any act of such Bank or Issuing Bank not permitted hereunder (through publication, the issuance of a patent disclosing such information or otherwise) or when identical or substantially similar information is received by such Bank or Issuing Bank without restriction as to its disclosure or

use, from a Person who, to the knowledge or reasonable belief of such Bank or Issuing Bank, was not prohibited from disclosing it by any duty of confidentiality arising (under this Agreement or otherwise) by contract or law.  The obligations of each Bank and Issuing Bank under this Section 10.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or, if earlier, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank or the replacement of such Issuing Bank.

(b)  Each Bank acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement may include material non‑public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries or the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ securities, and it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.  In addition, all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Company or any Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its Subsidiaries or the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ securities.  Each Bank hereby advises the Company and the Agents that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non‑public information and that it will handle material non‑public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries or the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ securities in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive material non‑public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries or the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ securities in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws.

(d)  Any party hereto may change its address, e-mail address or fax number for notices, demands, instructions and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto or, in the case of any Bank, the Company and the Administrative Agent.

(e)  The Company agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communication (as defined below) by posting such Communication on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).  The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”.  None of the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates warrants, or shall be deemed to warrant, the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made, or shall be deemed to be made, by the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates in connection with the Communications or the Platform.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates have any liability to the Company, any Bank, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of transmission of Communications through the Platform.  For purposes of this paragraph, “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, instruction, other communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Company or the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Platform is unavailable for any reason, the Administrative Agent will provide Communications as provided in Section 10.03(a) promptly after learning of the Platform’s unavailability; and, in such event, any applicable notice period  with respect to such Communication will be begin to run only when given pursuant to Section 10.03(a).

SECTION 10.04.  Costs, Expenses and Other Taxes.  The Company agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers

If any action, suit or proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any Agent, any Bank, any Issuing Bank or any other Person indemnified or intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.04, the Company, to the extent and in the manner directed by the Person or Persons indemnified or intended to be indemnified, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel designated by the Company (which counsel shall be satisfactory to the Person or Persons indemnified or intended to be indemnified).  If the Company shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do hereunder or any representation or warranty on the part of the Company contained herein shall be breached, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend its funds for such purpose.  Any and all amounts so expended by the Administrative Agent shall be repayable to it by the Company immediately upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, with interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 or, when appropriate, 366 days) equal to the sum of (i) the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time during the period from and including the date so expended by the Administrative Agent to the date of repayment, plus (ii) two percent (2%) per annum.  The obligations of the Company under this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the Company’s other obligations hereunder.

SECTION 10.05.  Confirmations.  The Company and each Bank agree from time to time, upon written request received by one from the other, to confirm to the other in writing the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans of such Bank then outstanding hereunder or under any Note or Notes held by it, and each such Bank agrees from time to time, upon written request received by it from the Company, to make any Note or Notes held by it (including the schedule attached thereto) available for reasonable inspection by the Company at the office of such Bank.

SECTION 10.06.  Successors and Assigns; Participations. (a)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Banks, the Agents, the Issuing Banks (including any affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that any assignment or transfer by a Bank of any or all of its rights hereunder shall not materially increase the amount which would have been payable to the Bank making such assignment or transfer by the Company under this Agreement and the Notes in the absence of such assignment or transfer; and provided

further that except in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.02(a) hereof, the Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Banks.  This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement, each of their respective successors and permitted assigns, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the other Indemnitees and, to the extent set forth in Section 10.06(b), the Participants.

(b)  Any Bank may without the consent of the Company sell participations to one or more banks or other entities that, in the ordinary course of their business, regularly extend credit of the types and in the amounts extended by Banks under this Agreement (such banks and other entities hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Participants”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loan or Loans owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Participants shall be entitled to the cost protection provisions contained in Section 2.08, Section 2.12, and Section 3.04 hereof (provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such provisions than the transferor Bank would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Bank to such Participant had no such transfer occurred and provided further that, such Participant shall have fully complied with the provisions of Section 10.06(g) hereof and the requirements and limitations set forth in Section 2.12), (iv) the Company, the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and in connection with the cost protection provisions of this Agreement to which any Participant is entitled pursuant to this Section 10.06(b), (v) such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company relating to the Loans, (vi) such Bank shall not, except with respect only to changes in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank, or the principal amount of its Loans outstanding or amounts owed to it in respect of LC Disbursements or the Interest Rate or Interest Period with respect thereto, or the amount of any fees payable to it hereunder or extension of the Maturity Date, enter into any agreement with any Participant that would require the consent of such Participant with respect to the exercise by such Bank of its voting rights under this Agreement, and (vii) each such sale shall be made in the ordinary course of such Bank’s commercial banking business and in compliance with all applicable laws.  Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit, Notes or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Credit Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit, Note or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or any other applicable or

successor regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank 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.

(c)  Any Bank may assign, with the prior written consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld) and after using reasonable efforts to identify an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Company, to one or more Eligible Assignees, or without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent but with the consent of each Issuing Bank (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld) to one or more Banks, all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the same portion of the applicable Loan or Loans at the time owing to it and any applicable Note or Notes held by it, other than any Competitive Loans or Competitive Notes held by it, which may, but need not, be assigned); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Loan or Loans at the time owing to such assigning Bank and any Note or Notes held by it, other than any Competitive Loans or Competitive Notes held by it, which may, but need not, be assigned, (ii) except in the case of an assignment of a Bank’s entire interest hereunder, the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assigning Bank which it retains shall be in a principal amount of not less than $15,000,000 and the amount of such Revolving Credit Commitment which it assigns (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be an integral multiple of $5,000,000; provided, however, that no assignment may be made that, taken together with any simultaneous assignments, would result in any Bank having a Revolving Credit Commitment which is less than $15,000,000, (iii) 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 with respect to such assignment, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except that such fee shall not be payable if the Eligible Assignee is an affiliate of the assignor Bank), (iv) each such assignment shall be made in the ordinary course of the assigning Bank’s commercial banking business and in compliance with all applicable laws, (v) no such assignment shall be effective unless the Eligible Assignee to which such assignment is made has fully complied with the provisions of Section 10.06(g) hereof, and (vi) the Company shall have received a copy of the Assignment and Acceptance signed by the parties thereto.  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof, (x) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder, (y) the assignor Bank thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released (except as provided in Section 2.12(b), Section 10.02 and Section 10.07 hereof) from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall

cease to be a party hereto, but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08, Section 2.12, Section 10.04 and Section 10.07 hereof), and (z) Schedule I and Schedule II hereto shall be deemed amended to reflect the assignment pursuant to this Section 10.06(c) and the decrease in the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assignor Bank.  Each assignee of an interest under this Agreement and any Note shall take such interest subject to any request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken hereunder prior to the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance related to such assignment, and, until the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Company shall be entitled conclusively to assume that no assignment of any interest under this Agreement and any Note has been made by any Bank or any assignee.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.06, any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note or Notes held by it to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank authority; provided that no such assignment shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder.

(d)  By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignor Bank and the Eligible Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:  (i) the assignor Bank represents and warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, (ii) such assignor Bank makes no representation or warranty, and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made by the Company in or in connection with this Agreement or with the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such assignor Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Company or the performance or observance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (iv) such Eligible Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement together with copies of the financial statements and other documents referred to in Section 5.01(e), Section 6.01(a)(i), Section 6.01(a)(ii) and Section 6.01(a)(v) hereof and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (v) such Eligible Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such assignor Bank or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (vi) such Eligible Assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as the Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, (vii) such Eligible Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations, in accordance with the terms thereof, of the assignor Bank under this Agreement which are assumed by such Eligible Assignee under such Assignment and Acceptance and (viii) such Eligible Assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee.

(e)  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain at its address listed on Schedule II hereto a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and

principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Company, the Agents, the Banks and the Issuing Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, any Bank or any Issuing Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f)  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Bank and an Eligible Assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and the written consent of the Company to such assignment, if required hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in the form of Exhibit F hereto (or as agreed upon by the Company and the Administrative Agent), (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Company, and (iv) deliver a copy of such Assignment and Acceptance to the Company.  Within five Business Days after receipt of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Company, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for any surrendered Note or Notes a new Note or Notes to such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to its portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Bank has retained any Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, a new Note or Notes to the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder.  Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2 hereto, as appropriate.  Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Bank shall be marked “canceled” and returned by the Administrative Agent or the assigning Bank to the Company.

under which they were made, not misleading, whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto, and, to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law; provided, however, that there shall be no right to indemnification or contribution under this Section 10.07 for Indemnified Liabilities based upon or arising out of actions or omissions by any Bank or Issuing Bank in a capacity other than that of a lender to the Company or an issuer of letters of credit for the account of the Company, by any Agent in its capacity other than that as agent for the Banks and the Issuing Banks hereunder or by any Joint Lead Arranger other than in its capacity as a joint lead arranger hereunder.  Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to promptly notify the Company of each event of which it has knowledge which may give rise to a claim under the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.07.  If any action, suit or proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any Agent, Bank or Issuing Bank or any other Person indemnified or intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.07, the Company, to the extent and in the manner directed by the Person or Persons indemnified or intended to be indemnified, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel designated by the Company (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Person or Persons indemnified or intended to be indemnified).  Each Indemnitee will cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding.  If the Company shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do hereunder or any representation or warranty on the part of the Company contained herein shall be breached, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend its funds for such purpose.  Any and all amounts so expended by the Administrative Agent shall be repayable to it by the Company immediately upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, with interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 or, when appropriate, 366 days) equal to the sum of (i) the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time during the period from and including the date so expended by the Administrative Agent to the date of repayment, plus (ii) two percent (2%) per annum.  The Company shall have no obligation to any Indemnitee under this Section 10.07 to the extent that Indemnified Liabilities result from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnitee, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  The obligations of the Company under this Section 10.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the Company’s other obligations hereunder.  The obligations of each Bank and Issuing Bank (and of each other Indemnitee with respect to such Bank or Issuing Bank) under this Section 10.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or, if earlier, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank or the replacement of such Bank or Issuing Bank. This Section 10.07 shall not apply with respect to Taxes (other than Taxes that represent Indemnified Liabilities arising from a non-Tax claim), which shall be governed solely by Sections 2.08, 2.12 and 10.04.

SECTION 10.08.  Replacement of Banks.  If any Bank or Issuing Bank shall fail to execute and deliver any amendment, consent or waiver to this Agreement requested by the Company (i) that under Section 10.01 requires the consent of all Banks and (ii) with respect to which the Required Banks shall have granted their consent by the date specified by the Company (each such Bank or Issuing Bank being called a “Non-Consenting Bank”), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have

the right to take any of the actions set forth in Section 2.13 with respect to such Non-Consenting Bank.
