(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its full share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Foreign Currency Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  If the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute a reduction of such Borrowing.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of €10,000,000 and not less than €50,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate amount of Commitments and Loans remaining immediately after such termination or reduction shall not be less than the aggregate amount of CNMV Guarantees and Commitments (as defined in the CNMV Guarantees Issuance Agreement) outstanding at such time.  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under this paragraph (b) at least one Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(c)                  In the event and on each occasion that, after the date hereof and prior to the termination of the Commitments in accordance with this Section, either (i) the Company or the Borrower receives any Net Proceeds in respect of a Reduction/Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of such term or (ii) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives any Net Proceeds in respect of a Reduction/Prepayment Event described in clause (a), (c) or (d) of the definition of such term, then (A) subject to the immediately next sentence, the Company or the Borrower, as applicable, shall within five Business Days of receipt of such Net Proceeds (x) notify the Administrative Agent of such Reduction/Prepayment Event and the amount of Net Proceeds resulting therefrom (together with, in each case, a reasonably detailed calculation thereof) and (y) deliver such Net Proceeds as a Cash Deposit and (B) the Commitments will automatically reduce (on the earlier of the date of delivery of such notice or the fifth Business Day after such receipt) by an aggregate amount equal to the amount of Net Proceeds.  In the event that there are both Commitments and Loans outstanding, the Loans shall be repaid pursuant to Section 2.08 before the Commitments are reduced pursuant to this Section 2.06.

(d) Promptly following receipt of any notice pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.07.  Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.  (a)  The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender on the Scheduled Maturity Date.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Loans and the interest and fees due or accrued hereunder; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note.  In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.  Thereafter, the Loan evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.08.  Prepayment of Loans.  (a)  The Borrower shall have the right, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.13).

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any prepayment of a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.08(a) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and the principal amount of each such Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of optional prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each partial optional prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02.  Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest thereon.

(c) In the event and on each occasion that, after the making of the Loans hereunder on or after the Closing Date, either (i) the Company or the Borrower receives any Net Proceeds in respect of a Reduction/Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of such term or (ii) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives any Net Proceeds in respect of a Reduction/Prepayment Event described in clause (a), (c) or (d) of the definition of such term, then (A) subject to the immediately next sentence, the Company or the Borrower, as applicable, shall within five Business Days of receipt of such Net Proceeds notify the Administrative Agent of such Reduction/Prepayment Event and the amount of Net Proceeds resulting therefrom (together with, in each case, a reasonably detailed calculation thereof) and (B) within five Business Days of the day such Net Proceeds are received, the Borrower shall prepay (subject to Section 2.13) Borrowings in an amount equal to the amount of Net Proceeds. In the event that there are both Commitments and Loans outstanding, the Loans shall be repaid pursuant to this Section 2.08 before the Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.06.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.08(c), (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Reduction/Prepayment Event by a Subsidiary that is not a Domestic Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event (a “Foreign Disposition”) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.08 but may be retained by the applicable Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Company hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable, as reasonably estimated by the Company in good faith, or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08 to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Company has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition would have a material adverse Tax consequence (taking into account any foreign Tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds, the Net Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Subsidiary.

(d) Each notice delivered pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall specify the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid.  Promptly following receipt of any notice pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest thereon.

SECTION 2.09.  Fees.  (a)  Subject to Section 2.17, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a fee (a “Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the day that is 90 days after the Effective Date to but excluding the Commitment Termination Date.  Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable on the Commitment Termination Date.  All Commitment 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)

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on each of the dates set forth below, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, on the first succeeding Business Day after such date, a duration fee (a “Duration Fee”) equal to the applicable percentage set forth below of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Loans outstanding on such date:

(c) Each of the Company and the Borrower, as applicable, agrees to pay to the parties entitled thereto the fees payable pursuant to the Syndication and Fee Letter, in the amounts and at the times set forth therein.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the parties entitled thereto or, in the case of the Commitment Fees and the Duration Fees, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders entitled thereto.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.10.  Interest.  (a)  [Reserved].

(b) The Loans comprising each EURIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the EURIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to EURIBOR Loans as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section.

For the purposes of Section 317 of the Spanish Commercial Code, default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

(e) All interest hereunder 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).  The applicable EURIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.11.  Alternate Rate of Interest.  (a)  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any EURIBOR Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the EURIBO Rate for such Interest Period (including because the EURIBO Rate is not available or published on a current basis); provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the EURIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice (which may be telephonic) thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the continuation of any Borrowing as a EURIBOR Borrowing for such Interest Period shall be ineffective, (B) the affected EURIBOR Borrowing that was requested to be continued shall, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, unless repaid, bear interest at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate for EURIBOR Loans plus a rate that adequately and fairly reflects the weighted average of the cost to each Lender to fund its pro rata share of such Borrowing (from whatever source and using whatever methodologies such Lender may select in its reasonable discretion) (with respect to a Lender, the “COF Rate” and with respect to the weighted average of the COF Rate applicable to each Lender for any Borrowing, the “Average COF Rate”), it being agreed by each Lender that, promptly upon request therefor by the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of the COF Rate of such Lender with respect to the applicable Borrowing, and (C) any Borrowing Request for a Borrowing of EURIBOR Loans for such Interest Period shall be treated as a request for a Borrowing that bears (and such Borrowing will bear) interest at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate for EURIBOR Loans plus the Average COF Rate, it being agreed by each Lender that, promptly upon request therefor by the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of the COF Rate of such Lender with respect to the applicable Borrowing.

(b) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the EURIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement.  Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.  Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Lenders consent to such amendment.  No replacement of the EURIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(iii) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (D) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.

(iv) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the continuation of any Borrowing as a EURIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective, and, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, unless repaid, such Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate for EURIBOR Loans plus the Average COF Rate, it being agreed by each Lender that, promptly upon request therefor by the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of the COF Rate of such Lender with respect to the applicable Borrowing and (B) any Borrowing Request for a EURIBOR Borrowing  shall otherwise be treated as a request for a Borrowing that bears (and such Borrowing will bear) interest at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate for EURIBOR Loans plus the Average COF Rate, it being agreed by each Lender that, promptly upon request therefor by the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of the COF Rate of such Lender with respect to the applicable Borrowing.

(v) Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.11, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11.

SECTION 2.12.  Increased Costs.  (a)  If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or the European interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or EURIBOR Loans made by such Lender; or

(iii) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

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

(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the EURIBO Rate) has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then, from time to time upon written request of such Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered to the Borrower shall be prima facie evidence of the amount claimed; provided that it is accompanied by a statement in reasonable detail of the calculation on which such amount was based.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any amount (i) as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or (ii) which has been paid to such Lender by the Borrower, in each case pursuant to this Section 2.12, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of payments made by the Borrower under this Section 2.12 with respect to the events giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower agrees, upon the written request of such Lender to the Borrower, to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its accounting records (or any other information which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 2.13.  Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any EURIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) [reserved], (c) the failure to borrow or continue any EURIBOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof), (d) the failure to prepay any EURIBOR Loan on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment given by the Borrower (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof) or (e) the assignment (other than as a result of a default by the applicable Lender in the performance of its agreements set forth herein) of any EURIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.  Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred at the EURIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Euros of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the European interbank market.  A certificate of any Lender delivered to the Borrower and setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be prima facie evidence of such amount; provided that it is accompanied by a statement in reasonable detail of the calculation on which such amount was based.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.14.  Taxes.  (a)  Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Loan Party or an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the applicable Loan Party or such withholding agent (a “Tax Deduction”), then the applicable Loan Party or the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.14(a), the applicable Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for Other Taxes.

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

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Loan Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Such payment shall be due within 20 days of the Borrower’s receipt of such certificate.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with 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 Governmental Authority.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the applicable Loan Party for any Taxes paid or payable by such Loan Party (and not deducted or withheld by the Borrower from any payment otherwise due hereunder to such Lender) as a result of the failure of such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to the applicable Loan Party pursuant to Section 2.14(f), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Such payment shall be due within 10 days of such Lender’s receipt of such certificate.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the applicable Loan Party to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (as applicable) to such Lender under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Loan Party (as applicable) to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Loan Party (as applicable) under this paragraph.

(f) Status of Lenders.  (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.14(f)(ii)(A), 2.14(f)(ii)(B), 2.14(f)(ii)(D) and 2.14(f)(iii)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person (or, if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is owned, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, by a U.S. Person) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender (or such U.S. Person, as applicable) is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender (or, if a Foreign Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such owner) is not the beneficial owner, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable (and including any other information required to be provided by IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form)); provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner;

(C) any Lender (or, if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Spanish EEA Lender or Spanish Treaty Lender shall provide the Borrower before any payment is due or made (whichever occurs first) pursuant to this Agreement, with a valid tax residency certificate issued by the competent tax authorities of that Lender’s country of residence, within the meaning of the relevant double taxation treaty, stating that such Lender is entitled to benefits under such treaty.  Each such Lender shall also provide the Borrower with additional certificates upon expiry of the preceding certificate.  For purposes of this Section 2.14(f)(iii), a tax residency certificate is deemed valid if it is issued within the year before the date on which the corresponding payment is due or made, whichever is earlier; and in the case that the tax residency certificate refers to a specific tax period, it will only be valid for that period.

Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14(f).  Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) (x) update such form or certification or (y) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Tax Status.  Each Spanish EEA Lender and Spanish Treaty Lender shall, as of the Effective Date and the Closing Date, deliver to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent a certificate of tax residence duly issued by the Tax Authorities of its country of tax residence, evidencing such Spanish EEA Lender and Spanish Treaty Lender as resident for Tax purposes in that country and, if a Spanish Treaty Lender, accrediting such Spanish Treaty Lender as resident in the relevant country within the meaning of the relevant Treaty.

(h) Lender Status Confirmation.  Each Person that becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 9.04, shall indicate in the Assignment Agreement which it executes upon becoming a Party, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to the Borrower, which of the following categories it falls into:  (i) other than a Spanish Qualifying Lender; (ii) a Spanish Qualifying Lender (other than a Spanish EEA Lender or Spanish Treaty Lender); (iii) a Spanish Treaty Lender; or (iv) a Spanish EEA Lender.  If such Person which becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 9.04 fails to indicate its status in accordance with the preceding sentence, then such Person shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) as other than a Spanish Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which of categories (ii) through (iv) applies (and the Administrative Agents, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrower).  For the avoidance of doubt, any Assignment Agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Section 2.14(h).

(i) U.S. Federal Tax Treatment.  Without limiting the Administrative Agent’s authority, discretion or entitlements under Section 2.14(a) or any other relevant provision of this Agreement, the Company, the Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date and in any event no later than 10 Business Days prior to the first Interest Payment Date, the Company shall (x) make a determination (the “Company Determination”), based on advice of a law or accounting firm of nationally recognized expertise in U.S. federal income tax matters, regarding the characterization of the Company or the Borrower as the primary obligor with respect to such obligations of the Loan Parties for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including whether any such payment is to be treated as being (x) derived from sources within the United States and (y) made by the Company in respect of indebtedness of the Company) and (y) provide the Administrative Agent written notice of such Company Determination and the content thereof, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall perform its U.S. federal tax withholding and information reporting obligations with respect to payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties under this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Company Determination, (iii) any withholding or deduction made by the Administrative Agent from any such payments in reliance on the Company Determination pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the withholding or deduction of a Tax that is required by applicable law, (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have no liability to the Borrower, the Company or any Lender arising out of, or related to actions taken in reliance on the Company Determination pursuant to the preceding clause (ii), and (v) without duplication of any amounts which the Administrative Agent  recovers pursuant to Section 2.14(d), the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any Taxes imposed on, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent arising out of, or related to actions taken in reliance on the Company Determination pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) other than any such Taxes described in clause (a) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

(j) Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or credit 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 or the benefit of such credit (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 reasonable 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 (plus any penalties, interest (but solely with respect to the period during which the indemnifying party held such refund) or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(k) Value Added Tax.  (i) All amounts set out or expressed in this Agreement to be payable by any party to any Recipient that (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT that is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (h)(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient to any party under this Agreement, such party shall pay to such Recipient (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Recipient shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party), unless the VAT reverse charge mechanism is applicable.

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient (the “VAT Supplier”) to any other Recipient (the “VAT Recipient”) under this Agreement, and any party other than the VAT Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of this Agreement to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the VAT Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the VAT Recipient in respect of that consideration), such party shall also pay to the VAT Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The VAT Recipient will promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the VAT Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the VAT Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of such VAT.

(iii) Where this Agreement requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Recipient for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Recipient for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Recipient reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

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

(m) Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.15.  Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.  (a)  The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder prior to the time expressly required hereunder for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any setoff or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent; provided that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.  All payments hereunder shall be made in Euros.  Any payment by the Borrower credited to the account specified by the Administrative Agent shall discharge the obligation of the Borrower to make such payment at the time such credit is so effected, irrespective of the time of any distribution of such payment by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.

(b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).  The Borrower agrees that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Foreign Currency Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(d) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender pursuant to Sections 2.04(b), 2.15(c) and 9.03(c), in each case in such order as shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.16.  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (a) Each Lender shall (i) if it determines that it is specifically entitled to compensation under Section 2.14, use its reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office, if any, for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if any, if such designation or assignment and delegation would avoid, or minimize the amount of, any payment by the Borrower of additional amounts under Section 2.14 in respect of such Lender and (ii) if it determines that it is specifically entitled to compensation under Section 2.12, use its reasonable efforts (including using reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office, if any, for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if any), but only if it shall not incur any disadvantage as a result thereof, to avoid, or to minimize the amount of, any payment by the Borrower of additional amounts under Section 2.12 in respect of such Lender.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests or becomes entitled to compensation under Section 2.12, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, (iii) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under Section 9.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders) and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.12 and 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which may be a Lender, if another Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (A) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (in the case of such principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (B) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (C) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.  Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 2.17.  Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments.  The Commitment and Loans of each Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded in determining whether the Required Lenders  or any other requisite Lenders shall have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or other modification that requires the consent of all Lenders or of all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.

(ii) Certain Fees.  Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender for any period during which such Defaulting Lender is a “Defaulting Lender”, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive such Commitment Fees.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Defaulting Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that all amendments, waivers or other modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02 and this Section during such period shall be binding on it; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.18.  Borrower’s Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes that it shall within three (3) Business Days of demand by a Lender reimburse that Lender for any amount demanded of, or paid by, it under (i) any Counter-Guarantee given by it in connection with the issuance of an Indirect CNMV Guarantee; and under (ii) Section 2.19 (Lender’s Indemnity), in the currency of the relevant demand.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.18 shall not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this provision, might reduce, release, prejudice or otherwise exonerate any of its obligations under this Section 2.18 in whole or in part (whether or not known to the Borrower or any other person).  This includes:

(c) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.18 shall be continuing obligations, shall extend to the ultimate balance of all amounts expressed to be payable hereunder and shall continue in force notwithstanding any intermediate payment in whole or in part of amounts payable hereunder.

(d) The Borrower will not be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity from any Lender in respect of any payment made by it under this Section 2.18.

The Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days of demand indemnify each Lender against any other cost, loss or liability incurred by the Lender (otherwise than by reason of the Lender’s or relevant Indirect CNMV Guarantee Provider’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as Lender or as CNMV Guarantee Provider.

SECTION 2.19.  Lenders’ Indemnity.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay to each CNMV Guarantee Provider against which a claim has been made under a CNMV Guarantee or to each Lender against which a claim has been made under a Counter-Guarantee (the amount of such claim, a “Claimed Amount”), within three (3) Business Days of demand, an amount equal to its pro rata share of any Claimed Amount that neither the Borrower nor the Company has paid (“Claimed Amount Shortfall”) in accordance with the arrangements for payment set out in this Section 2.19 (any claim made hereunder being an “Indemnity Claim”) in an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of the aggregate Commitments.

(b)                  The maximum aggregate liability of each Lender under this Section shall be automatically reduced by an amount equal to:

(c) Any failure by any party to perform its obligations under a CNMV Guarantee or hereunder shall not relieve or discharge any other party of its obligations under the relevant CNMV Guarantee or Counter-Guarantee or hereunder.

(d) The obligations of each Lender under this Section are continuing obligations and will extend to the ultimate balance of all sums payable by that Lender under or in connection with any CNMV Guarantee or Counter-Guarantee, regardless of any intermediate payment made in accordance with this Section.

(e) The obligations of any Lender under this Section will not be affected by any act, omission or thing which, but for this provision, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Section (whether or not known to it or any other person).  This includes:

(f) The obligations of each Lender under this Section are several.  No Lender shall be liable for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and the failure of a Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect or increase the liability of any other Lender hereunder.

(g) The obligation of each Lender under this Section is an independent, primary obligation which each Lender undertakes as principal, and not as a surety or guarantor.

(h) Each Lender’s obligation to make payment pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and is subject only to the relevant Indemnity Claim Notice being in conformity with the provisions of this Section 2.19 and Section 2.20, and being served on the Administrative Agent in accordance with the procedure for the service of notices set out in this Agreement.

SECTION 2.20.  Settlement of Claims under Lenders’ Indemnity.

(a) If a CNMV Guarantee Provider or a Lender is entitled to make an Indemnity Claim under Section 2.19, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for each Lender an Indemnity Claim Notice specifying the Claimed Amount Shortfall.  The Administrative Agent must serve a copy of the Indemnity Claim Notice received by it on each Lender promptly on receipt of the same together with the amount of the Lender’s share of that Claimed Amount determined in accordance with Section 2.19.

(b) Each Lender will make payment of its share of any Indemnity Claim no later than on the date falling three (3) Business Days after receipt of the relevant Indemnity Claim Notice.

(c) If a Lender makes payment of any Indemnity Claim, that Lender shall automatically be subrogated to the rights of the relevant Lender in respect of such payment.

(d) Each Lender shall discharge its payment obligations hereunder by making payment of any amount due from it to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lender, and the Administrative Agent will immediately remit such payments to or to the order of the relevant Lender in accordance with such payment instructions as such Lender shall from time to time give to the Agent for this purpose.

SECTION 2.21.Loss Sharing by Lenders.  If a demand is made and the obligations of the Borrower to a Lender in respect of that demand under Section 2.18 remain undischarged, and any resulting loss is not being borne by the Lenders in the proportion equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate Commitments, the Lenders shall make such payments between themselves as the Administrative Agent may require to ensure that after taking account of those payments, losses are borne by the Lenders in proportion to their pro rata share of the aggregate Commitments.

No Lender shall be required to pay amounts under this Section which, when aggregated with its participation in any Loans made by it in its capacity as Lender, would exceed its pro rata share of the aggregate Commitments.

No payments shall be made under this Section to any Lender or CNMV Guarantee Provider which is a Defaulting Lender.

The Company and, to the extent applicable, the Borrower represents and warrants, as of the Effective Date that:

SECTION 3.01.  Organization; Powers.  (a)  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly qualified to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation in all other jurisdictions in which the conduct of its operations or the ownership of its properties requires such qualification except where the failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to conduct its business, to own its properties and to execute and deliver, and to perform all of its obligations under, this Agreement.

(f) any proceeding shall be instituted against the Company, the Borrower or any Wholly-Owned Domestic Manufacturing Subsidiary seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or declare it insolvent (declaración de concurso) (including the filing of any request for the declaration of voluntary or mandatory insolvency (concurso voluntario o necesario) or the taking or passing of any resolution approving such filing) and/or the filing of an application under Articles 583 et seq of the Spanish Insolvency Law or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, composition, compromise or assignment (including, without limitation, a convenio or any agreement, arrangement or compromise to obtain a release or stay of its current indebtedness and among others, a refinancing agreement (acuerdo de refinanciación) within the meaning of Articles 596 et seq of the Spanish Insolvency Law) of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief or protection of debtors, or seeking the entry of any order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property (including without limitation, administración del concurso, administrador concursal or liquidador), and such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

SECTION 7.02.  Lenders’ Rights upon an Event of Default.  Subject to Section 4.04, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent (a) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the obligation of each Lender to make Loans to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate and (b) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable; provided, however, that in the case of an Event of Default set forth in Section 7.01(e) or 7.01(f) (in each case, with respect to the Company or the Borrower) constituting an entry of an order for relief under the United States federal bankruptcy laws, (i) the obligation of each Lender to make Loans shall automatically terminate and (ii) the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower and the Company.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors to serve as administrative agent hereunder, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties), (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by this Agreement that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in this Agreement); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to this Agreement or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in this Agreement) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment).  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “Notice of Default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company, the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in this Agreement or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or X or elsewhere in this Agreement, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in this Agreement for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof).  The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in this Agreement for being the maker thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time from its capacity as such.  In connection with such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to resign to the Lenders, the Company and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and a local office in New York, New York.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such successor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Company and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender.  Following the effectiveness of any Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to the Borrower or the Company under any Debtor Relief Law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)  to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.09, 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)  to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, hereunder (including under Section 9.03); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations or the rights of any Lender, or to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender, by becoming a party to this Agreement, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, this Agreement and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on or prior to the Effective Date.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender sufficiently in advance to the making of such Loan.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Arranger shall not have any duties or obligations under this Agreement (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender), but shall have the benefit of the indemnities to the extent expressly provided for hereunder, and, without limiting the foregoing, the Arranger shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or with the Company, the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement;

(ii)            the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement;

(iii)           (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

(iv)            such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

In addition, unless either (1) clause (i) in the immediately preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with clause (iv) in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or the Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any documents related hereto or thereto).

If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, but for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Article VIII and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Foreign Currency Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this paragraph shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Without limiting immediately preceding paragraph, each Lender hereby agrees that if it or a Payment Recipient receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other such Payment Recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other Payment Recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article VIII.

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to this Article VIII or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding third paragraph.

In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with fourth paragraph immediately preceding this paragraph, from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under this Agreement with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.

The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or the Company except to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and the Company for the purpose of making any payment hereunder that became subject to such Erroneous Payment; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, this Article VIII shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower and the Company.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under the foregoing seven (7) paragraphs shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.01.  Notices.  (a)  Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and subject to paragraph (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by fax or email, as follows:

(iii) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or fax number or email) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by fax shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient); and notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below shall be effective as provided in such paragraph.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including email, intranet websites and the Platform) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices under Article II to any Lender if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  Any notices or other communications to the Administrative Agent, the Company or the Borrower may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures expressly approved by the recipient thereof prior thereto; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited or rescinded by the Administrative Agent by notice to each other such Person and the Company and the Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an email address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return email or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to the Platform shall be deemed received upon the receipt by the intended recipient at its email address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address, telephone number, email address or fax number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto  (or, in the case of any such change by a Lender, by notice to the Company, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent).

(d) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”.  THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.  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 BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Company, the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Company’s, the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of the Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Company, the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).  Each Lender agrees that the Administrative Agent or the Arranger may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Borrower Materials on the Platform in accordance with its customary document retention procedures and policies.

SECTION 9.02.  Waivers; Amendments.  (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Company or the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company or the Borrower in this Agreement and in the certificates delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Except as provided in Sections 2.11(b), 9.18 and 10.03, none of this Agreement or any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing and signed by the Company, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders; provided that (i) any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment and (ii) no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (B) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (C) postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (in each case, including any such postponement, reduction, waiver or excuse as a result of any modification to the definition of the term “Commitment Termination Date” or “Maturity Date” or to Section 2.06(a)), or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment (in each case, including any such postponement, reduction, waiver or excuse as a result of any modification to the definition of the term “Commitment Termination Date” or “Scheduled Maturity Date” or to Section 2.06(a)), without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (D) change Section 2.15(b) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (E) change any of the provisions of this paragraph or the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of this Agreement specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender and (F) release the Company Guarantee, except as expressly provided by Section 10.03, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) any amendment of the definition of the term “Applicable Rate” pursuant to the last sentence of such definition shall require only the written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (y) no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (ii)(A), (ii)(B) or (ii)(C) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification.

(c) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender.  Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section 9.02 shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.

SECTION 9.03.  Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.  (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of outside counsel for the foregoing (and, if deemed reasonably necessary by such Persons, one firm of regulatory counsel and/or one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction), in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, including the preparation, execution and delivery of the commitment letter and the fee letters entered into in connection with the credit facility provided for herein, as well as the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers (to the extent such amendments, modifications or waivers are contemplated by Section 2.11(b) or requested by the Borrower) of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration (other than routine administrative procedures and excluding costs and expenses relating to assignments and participations of Lenders) of this Agreement and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any of the foregoing, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses reasonably related thereto, including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of outside counsel for Indemnitees (and, if deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent, one firm of regulatory counsel and/or one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest for any Indemnitee, one firm of counsel (and, if deemed reasonably necessary by such Indemnitee, one firm of regulatory and/or one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) for such Indemnitee), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the preparation, execution, delivery and (in the case of the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties only) administration of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by the Borrower or any other Person); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or a material breach, including any such breach in bad faith, of the agreements by such Indemnitee set forth in this Agreement or (B) result from any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding brought by an Indemnitee against the Administrative Agent or any Arranger in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an agent or arranger or any other similar role hereunder).  No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, and no party hereto shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Loans, this Agreement or its activities related thereto; provided that nothing contained in this sentence will limit the Borrower’s indemnity and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.03.  This paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such or against any Related Party acting for the Administrative Agent in connection with such capacity.  For purposes of this paragraph, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total unused Commitments and the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding, in each case, at the time (or most recently in effect or outstanding, as the case may be).

(d) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04.  Successors and Assigns.  (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not (except as expressly provided in Section 6.02 or 9.18) assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) Company may not (except as expressly provided in Section 6.02, 9.18 or 10.03) assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company without such consent shall be null and void) and (iii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), the Arranger and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of any of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and any Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitment or Loans at the time held or owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of:

(A) the Company; provided that after the Effective Date, the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 15 Business Days after having received written notice thereof; provided further that no consent of the Company shall be required (1) for an assignment to a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (2) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default arising under clause (a), (e) or (f) of Section 7.01 (provided that, in each case, the Borrower and the Company shall have received written notice of such assignment); provided further that any liability of the Borrower to an assignee that is an Approved Fund or Affiliate of the assigning Lender under Section 2.12 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable hereunder by the Borrower in the absence of such assignment; and

(B) the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than €10,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of €1,000,000 in excess thereof, in each case, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Administrative Agent;

(B) each partial assignment of a Lender’s Commitment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its Commitment under this Agreement, and each partial assignment of a Lender’s Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its Loans under this Agreement; provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of (x) a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its Commitment without assigning a proportionate part of the assigning Lender’s Loans or (y) a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its Loans without assigning a proportionate part of the assigning Lender’s Commitment;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (and, if its consent is required as set forth above, the Company), an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform) and (ii) pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more other Approved Funds of such Lender;

(D) No such assignment shall result in any additional liability of the Borrower or Company on account of United States Taxes or Spanish Taxes under Section 2.14 or for increased costs under Section 2.12; and

(E) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.14(f) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and State and foreign securities laws.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (to the extent accrued for periods prior to it ceasing to be a party hereto) and Section 9.03).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section, provided that the requirements of such paragraph are met.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and records of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of (A) an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform) executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, (B) the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire, (C) any tax forms required by Section 2.14(f) (in the case of clauses (B) and (C), unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and (D) the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph, and following such recording, unless otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent (such determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, which determination may be conditioned on the consent of the assigning Lender and the assignee), shall be effective notwithstanding any defect in the Assignment and Assumption relating thereto.  Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent that all written consents required by this Section with respect thereto (other than the consent of the Administrative Agent) have been obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee.

(c) (i) Any Lender may sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and Loans); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Company, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in subclauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) or (ii)(C) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(f) and Section 2.14(h) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (x) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (y) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive (it being understood and agreed that such Participant shall not be entitled to the benefit of any other indemnity, expense reimbursement, yield protection or similar provision solely on account of becoming a Participant rather than being a party hereto).

(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, 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 rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender 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 Commitments, Loans or other rights and obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other right and obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining any Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05.  Survival.  The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15(c), 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.06.  Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic  Execution.  (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under any commitment letter entered in connection herewith (but do not supersede any other provisions of any such commitment letter that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect).  On and after the Effective Date, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

SECTION 9.07.  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08.  Conversion of Currencies  (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b)                 The obligations of the Company and the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, each of the Company and the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.

SECTION 9.09.  Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York and of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by it or any of its controlled Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, exclusively in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such New York Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the applicable party at its address provided for notices in Section 9.01.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(e) The Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers the Company, and the Company hereby accepts such appointment, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  Such service may be made by bailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Borrower in care of the Company at the Company’s address used for purposes of giving notice under Section 9.02, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Company to accept, and the Company agrees to accept, such service on its behalf.

SECTION 9.10.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11.  Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12.  Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties, including accountants and legal counsel, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) (it being understood that such regulatory authority will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and, except where such regulatory authority would be required to keep such Information confidential as a matter of law, requested to keep such Information confidential), (c) to the extent required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and, except where such Person would be required to keep such Information confidential as a matter of law, requested to keep such Information confidential), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and requested to keep such Information confidential), (f) subject to execution by it of a written agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, (A) to any permitted assignee of or permitted Participant in, or any prospective permitted assignee of or permitted Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement  or (B) to any actual of prospective counterparty to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company or any Subsidiary and its obligations or any actual or prospective insurance provider relating to any such obligations (or, in each case, their respective Related Parties), (g) with the written consent of the Borrower, (h) to rating agencies (on a confidential basis) and data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry, such information to consist of information customarily provided by arrangers to such data service providers or (i) to the extent such Information (1) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (2) is or becomes available to, or is independently developed by, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.  For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any of the Borrower’s or such Affiliate’s Related Parties, including accountants and legal counsel, relating the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or their businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any of the Borrower’s or such Affiliate’s Related Parties.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised no less than reasonable care and at least the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.13.  Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Foreign Currency Overnight Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
