(vi)            The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Term Loans on the Termination Date.

(b)  Revolving Loans.

(i)              Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment severally agrees to make revolving credit loans in Dollars (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to the Revolving Loans requested to be made, the Total Available Revolving Commitments shall not be less than zero; provided, further, that after the Full Availability Date, the Borrower shall not be permitted to make additional borrowings of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) until and unless the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments shall have been reduced to zero.  During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof; provided, however, that prior to the Full Availability Date the Borrower may not repay any outstanding Revolving Loans, in whole or in part.  The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.7.

(ii)            The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans, and the Revolving Commitments shall terminate, on the Termination Date.

            2.2  Procedures for Term Loan and Revolving Loan Borrowing.  The Borrower may borrow (x) under the Initial Term Loan Commitments on the Full Availability Date in accordance with Section 2.1(a), (y) under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments during the Delayed Draw Commitment Period on any Business Day and (z) under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that, in each case, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, (a) with respect to Borrowings of the Initial Term Loans and the Delayed Draw Term Loans, prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, and (b) with respect to Borrowings of Revolving Loans, (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, or (y) in the case of ABR Loans, prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date) specifying (i) the amount, Class and Type of Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor.  Each Borrowing under the Initial Term Loan Commitments, the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Initial Term Loan Commitments, aggregate Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments or Total Available Revolving Commitments, as applicable, are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount).  Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.  Each Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding
27

Office prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  Each such Borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

            2.3  Incremental Facilities.

(a)  The Borrower may, at any time or from time to time after the Full Availability Date, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request (i) one or more additional tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) or (ii) one or more increases in the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase”; together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Facilities”) not to exceed the Incremental Amount available at any time any such Incremental Facility is funded or established, provided that both at the time of any such request and after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist.

(b)  Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and each Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in clause (c) below).

(c)  Any Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Loans and all other Term Loans, (ii) shall mature on the Termination Date, (iii) shall have interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, fees and funding discounts determined by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and (iv) other than pursuant to clause (iii) and the following proviso, shall have the same terms and conditions as the other Term Loans; provided that with respect to any Incremental Term Loans incurred during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 450 days after the Closing Date, if the Yield for Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans in respect of such Incremental Term Loans exceeds the Yield for Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans in respect of the Initial Term Loans by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans in respect of the Initial Term Loans shall be adjusted so that the Yield in respect of the Initial Term Loans is equal to the Yield for Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans in respect of the Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50%.

(d)  Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases shall be on the same terms as the Revolving Credit Facility.

(e)  Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall set forth (i) the date (each, an “Incremental Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Facility shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than three Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period approved by the Administrative Agent), (ii) the amount requested, (iii) the identity of each New Lender to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Facility be allocated and the amounts of such allocations and (iv) material proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Facility.  Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender at its sole discretion (it being understood that (i) no existing Lender will have an obligation to provide any portion of any Incremental Facility and (ii) the Borrower shall have no obligation to offer any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any portion of any Incremental Facility) or by a New Lender; provided that, with respect to any New Lender that is not an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the consent of the Administrative
28

Agent and the Issuing Lenders shall be required (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld) to the extent such consents would be required under Section 10.6.

(f)  Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender or New Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment and the Administrative Agent (notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein).  The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.3 (notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Section 10.1 of this Agreement).  The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of the conditions in Section 5.2 and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree.  The Borrower may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(g)  In the event of any Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, additional Revolving Loans made on or after the effectiveness thereof (the “Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date”) shall be made pro rata based on the Percentages in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility in effect on and after such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date (except to the extent that any such pro rata borrowings would result in any Lender making Extensions of Revolving Credit in excess of its Revolving Commitment, in which case such excess amount will be allocated to, and made by, New Lenders with new Revolving Commitments and/or Lenders with increased Revolving Commitments to the extent of, and pro rata based on, their respective Revolving Commitments otherwise available for Extensions of Revolving Credit), and continuations of Eurodollar Revolving Loans outstanding on such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date shall be effected by repayment of such Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and the making of new Eurodollar Revolving Loans pro rata based on such new Percentages in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.  In the event that on any such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of ABR Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall make prepayments thereof and borrowings of ABR Revolving Loans so that, after giving effect thereto, the ABR Revolving Loans outstanding are held pro rata based on such new Percentages in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.  In the event that on any such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Revolving Loans, such Eurodollar Revolving Loans shall remain outstanding with the respective holders thereof until the expiration of their respective Interest Periods (unless the Borrower elects to prepay any thereof in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement), and interest on and repayments of such Eurodollar Revolving Loans will be paid thereon to the respective Lenders holding such Eurodollar Revolving Loans pro rata based on the respective principal amounts thereof outstanding.

(h)  The Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to the Incremental Effective Date, for the benefit of the Lenders, (i) a legal opinion of counsel to the Borrower covering substantially the same matters, to the extent appropriate, as the opinion rendered by counsel to the Borrower on the Closing Date and (ii) certified copies of resolutions of the board of directors of the Borrower authorizing the Borrower to borrow under the Incremental Facility.

            2.4  Fees
29

(a)  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) an unused fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Revolving Unused Fee Rate on the average daily unused Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date.

(b)  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender having a Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment (other than a Defaulting Lender) an unused fee for the period from and including the Allocation Date to the last day of the Delayed Draw Commitment Period, computed at the Delayed Draw Unused Fee Rate on the outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Allocation Date.

(c)  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any written, duly executed fee agreements with the Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein.

            2.5  Termination or Reduction of Commitments; Extension of Termination Date.

            (a)  The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments of any Class or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments of any Class; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Extensions of Revolving Credit would exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments.  Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect.  Any reduction of Commitments of any Class shall be made pro rata among the applicable Lenders of such Class.

            (b)  The Borrower may elect to extend the Scheduled Termination Date from December 31, 2020 to a date that is no later than December 31, 2021 (the “Facility Extension Option”), and the Scheduled Termination Date shall be so extended upon the satisfaction (or waiver, in writing by the Required Lenders) of the following conditions precedent:

(i)               the Borrower shall have provided written notice to the Administrative Agent not less than 30 days and not more than 180 days prior to December 31, 2020 of its intention to exercise the Facility Extension Option;

(ii)             the Borrower shall have paid, or caused to be paid, an extension fee in the amount of 0.25% of the then outstanding Loans, L/C Obligations and unused Commitments on December 31, 2020 to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders on a pro rata basis based on the respective Loans and unused Commitments held by each Lender; and

(iii)            as of December 31, 2020, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

If the Scheduled Termination Date shall have been extended in accordance with this Section, all references herein to the “Scheduled Termination Date” shall refer to the Scheduled Termination Date as so extended.
30

            2.6  Prepayments.

(a)  Voluntary Prepayments.  The Borrower may from time to time following the Full Availability Date prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (subject, in the case of prepayments of Initial Term Loans, to Section 2.6(c) and, in the case of prepayments of any Eurodollar Loans, to Section 2.15), upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than (unless a shorter period is otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent) 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no later than (unless a shorter period is otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent) 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify whether the Loans being prepaid are Revolving Loans or Term Loans, the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans (and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing(s) that are to be prepaid); provided that any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.  If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.  Partial prepayments of Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Any such prepayment shall be made by the Borrower pro rata among the applicable Lenders of the applicable Borrowing(s).

(b)  Mandatory Prepayments.

(i)            In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of PCG or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall,  within three Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Term Loans in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds; provided that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, if the Borrower shall, prior to the date of the required prepayment, deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer to the effect that the Borrower intends to cause the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate) to be applied within 180 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds to make capital expenditures useful to the business of PCG or any of its Subsidiaries or to acquire real property, equipment or other tangible assets to be used in the business of PCG or any of its Subsidiaries and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds from such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied by the end of such 180-day period (or within a period of 180 days thereafter if by the end of such initial 180-day period PCG or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall have entered into an agreement with a third party to make such capital expenditures or to acquire such real property, equipment or other tangible assets with such Net Proceeds), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds that have not been so applied; provided, further that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph unless the amount of Net Proceeds received in respect of all such events and not applied pursuant to the preceding proviso exceeds $500,000,000, at which point all such Net Proceeds that have otherwise not been applied pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) shall be used to prepay the Term Loans.

31

(ii)            To the extent practicable, the Borrower shall provide written notice of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.6(b) no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which such notice shall include a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.  With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(i), the Borrower may designate the Types of Term Loans and the specific Borrowing(s) that are to be prepaid.  Any such prepayment shall be made by the Borrower pro rata among the applicable Lenders of the applicable Borrowing(s).

(c)  In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, (i) the Borrower prepays, repays, substitutes or replaces any Initial Term Loans in connection with a Repricing Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Repricing Transaction resulting from an event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”) or (ii) in connection with any Repricing Transaction referred to in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the Borrower causes any Lender to assign its Initial Term Loans pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of Section 10.1, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders (A) in the case of clause (i), a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans so prepaid, repaid, substituted or replaced and (B) in the case of clause (ii), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans that are the subject of such Repricing Transaction and that are required to be assigned by any Lender pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of Section 10.1.  All such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

            2.7  Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a)  The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such conversions.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b)  Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
32

            2.8  Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, no more than 25 Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

            2.9  Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a)  Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)  Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)  (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of, or premium on, any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a default rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9 plus 2% per annum or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans plus 2% per annum, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any unused fee, letter of credit fee, or any other fee payable (excluding any expenses or other indemnity) hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a default rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2% per annum, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d)  Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

            2.10  Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a)  Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Base Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate.  Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b)  Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amounts.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.9(a).
33

            2.11  Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

(a)  If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(i)              the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(ii)            the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

(b)  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.  Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.11(b), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans.

            2.12  Pro Rata Treatment and Payments; Notes.
34

(a)  Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the applicable Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Percentages of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Commitments.

(b)  Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Class of Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Class of Loans then held by the Lenders.  Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letters of Credit.

(c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as applicable, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.  In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans from the Borrower within 30 days after written demand therefor.

(e)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to
35

which any amount was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(f)  The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note (a “Note”) of the Borrower evidencing any Class of Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 (in the case of Term Loans) and D-2 (in the case of Revolving Loans), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount; provided, that delivery of Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Closing Date or the making of Loans on the Closing Date.

(g)  If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 3.4 or 2.12(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

            2.13  Change of Law.

(a)  If a Change of Law shall:

(i)               subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, Letters of Credit or Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii)             impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance charge or other similar insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any Lender or any Issuing Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate, which requirements are generally applicable to advances, loans and other extensions of credit made by such Lender or such Issuing Lender; or

(iii)            impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender any other condition that is generally applicable to loans made by such Lender or Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender or participations therein by a Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient, by an amount that such Lender or such other Recipient deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such other Recipient, within ten Business Days after its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such other Recipient for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If any Lender or other Recipient becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to
36

the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided, however, that no Lender or other Recipient shall be entitled to demand such compensation more than 90 days following (x) the last day of the Interest Period in respect of which such demand is made or (y) the repayment of the Loan in respect of which such demand is made, and no Issuing Lender shall be entitled to demand such compensation more than 90 days following the expiration or termination (by drawing or otherwise) of the Letter of Credit issued by it in respect of which such demand is made.

(b)  If any Lender or any Issuing Lender shall have determined that a Change of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or the capital of any corporation controlling such Lender or such Issuing Lender as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such Change of Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s, such Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or such Issuing Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c)  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Recipient to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall constitute prima facie evidence of such costs or amounts.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s, such Issuing Lender’s or such other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect not to exceed twelve months.  The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive for 90 days after the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder.

            2.14  Taxes.

(a)  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable laws.  If any applicable laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, then (A) the applicable Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the applicable Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to be required, (B) the applicable Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b)  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
37

(c)  (i)  The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or another Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or another Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii)            Each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c)(iii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or any Issuing Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(d)  Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.14, the applicable Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e)  (i)  Any Lender or any Issuing Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender or any Issuing 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 or such Issuing Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.14(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s or any Issuing Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or such Issuing Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
38

expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or such Issuing Lender.

(ii)            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

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

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

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

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

39

(V)                notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.14(e), each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender or an Issuing Lender under this Agreement, forms described in Sections 2.14(e)(ii)(B)(I), (II), (III) or (IV), as applicable, establishing a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax with respect to amounts payable to such Foreign Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, that a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver forms establishing a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax with respect to amounts payable to such Foreign Lender under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.14(e)(ii)(B)(V) to the extent that, due to a Change of Law, such Foreign Lender is unable to do so.

(C)   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 or an Issuing 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 or any Issuing Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or such Issuing 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 or such Issuing 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 or such Issuing Lender has complied with such Lender’s or such Issuing 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 Closing Date.

(iii)            Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f)  Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any Issuing Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be.  If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of, or credit with respect to, any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14 (any such refund or credit, a “Tax Benefit”), it shall pay to the
40

indemnifying party an amount equal to such Tax Benefit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the indemnifying party under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such Tax Benefit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such Tax Benefit), provided that the indemnifying party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the indemnifying party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such Tax Benefit to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such Tax Benefit 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 subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(g)  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive for one year after the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

            2.15  Indemnity.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss (other than the loss of Applicable Margin) or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  This covenant shall survive for 90 days after the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

            2.16  Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.13 or 2.14 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole but reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no unreimbursed economic disadvantage or any legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14.

            2.17  Replacement of Lenders.  The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender with a Commitment in a particular Class that (a) requests (on its behalf or any of its Participants) reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14 or (b) in the case of a Revolving Lender, becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.16 which eliminates the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans of such Class and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender with respect to such Class on or prior to the date
41

of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.15 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14, as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

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

(a)  any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts (other than those described in Section 2.18(b)) received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender in its capacity as a Revolving Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, if so requested by any Issuing Lender with a Letter of Credit outstanding or with unreimbursed drawings owing under a Letter of Credit, to be held as cash collateral in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of such L/C Obligations; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any Issuing Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any L/C Obligations; fifth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Revolving Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; sixth, if so determined by the Borrower with the consent of the Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Revolving Loans under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Revolving Lenders or any Issuing Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; eighth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and ninth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Loans and unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Loans of that Defaulting Lender or participating interests of that Defaulting Lender in unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Revolving Lender irrevocably consents hereto;
42

(b)  that Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive interest on Revolving Loans and Participation Amounts funded by such Revolving Lender prior to the period in which such Revolving Lender became a Defaulting Lender or during the period in which such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender;

(c)  during any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Revolving Lender that is a non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.4, the Percentage of each such non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in L/C Obligations shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Extensions of Revolving Credit of such non-Defaulting Lender;

(d)  if the reallocation described in paragraph (c) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to paragraph (c) above) deposit cash with the Administrative Agent as collateral to secure such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of any outstanding L/C Obligations for so long as any such L/C Obligations are outstanding; and

(e)  that Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and  Section 10.1.

If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender reasonably determine in writing 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 (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans and Participation Amounts of the other Revolving Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.18(c)), whereupon that Revolving 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 Revolving Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Revolving Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Revolving Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent to reduce Fronting Exposure shall be released to the applicable Revolving Lender promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Revolving Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.6)); (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral; and (iii) the termination of the Revolving Commitment Period and the repayment in full of all outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations.
43

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender having an Initial Term Loan Commitment, a Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Term Loan Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender of the relevant Class irrevocably consents hereto.

            2.19  Priority and Liens.  All of the Obligations shall at all times from and after the Petition Date:

(a)  pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, constitute allowed superpriority administrative expense claims against the Loan Parties in each of the Cases and any Successor Case, on a joint and several basis (without the need to file any proof of claim), with priority in payment over any and all other administrative expense claims, secured claims, unsecured claims and all other claims against the Loan Parties, now existing or hereafter arising, of any kind or nature whatsoever (the “DIP Superpriority Claim”), including, without limitation, all administrative expenses of the kind specified in or ordered pursuant to Sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 364, 365, 503(a), 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 546(c), 546(d), 726, 1113 or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, and any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, which claims shall for purposes of Section 1129(a)(9)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code be considered administrative expenses allowed under Section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and which DIP Superpriority Claims shall be payable from and have recourse to all pre- and postpetition property of the Loan Parties and all proceeds thereof, including all Collateral (including, from and after the Final Order Entry Date, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court in the Final Order, all proceeds of claims or causes of action under Sections 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, 550 and 553 of the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, “Avoidance Actions”)), subject only to the Carve-Out;

            2.20  No Discharge; Survival of Claims.  Each of the Loan Parties agrees (a) its obligations under the Loan Documents shall not be discharged by the entry of an order confirming a Chapter 11 Plan that is not an Acceptable Plan (and each of the Loan Parties, pursuant to Section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, hereby waives any such discharge) and (b) the DIP Superpriority Claims granted to the Secured Parties pursuant to the Financing Orders and the Liens granted to the Secured Parties pursuant to the Financing Orders shall not be affected in any manner by the entry of an order confirming a Chapter 11 Plan that is not an Acceptable Plan.

(a)  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby and sight commercial letters of credit (the letters of credit issued pursuant to this Section 3, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided, that no Issuing Lender shall issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal, (i) the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations owed by the Borrower to any Issuing Lender shall exceed the amount of such Issuing Lender’s L/C Commitment (or such higher amount agreed upon in writing between the Borrower and such Issuing Lender), (ii) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment (or, prior to the Full Availability Date, the Interim L/C Availability Amount) or (iii) the Total Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero.  Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and, (ii) subject to the second paragraph of Section 3.2, expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the fifth Business Day prior to the Scheduled Termination Date.

(b)  No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal would (i) conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) violate one or more policies of the Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally or (iii) violate any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority that, by its terms, purports to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Lender.  No Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit that is not a standby Letter of Credit, unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Lender. In the event there is a Defaulting Lender as of the date of any request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue or arrange for such Letter of Credit to the extent the Issuing Lender is not reasonably satisfied that the Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit have been reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 2.18.

(c)  Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such
45

Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

(d)  For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination, a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Rule 3.13 and Rule 3.14 of the ISP) or similar terms in the Letter of Credit itself that permit a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” in the amount so remaining available to be drawn.

            3.2  Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.  The Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request.  Concurrently with the delivery of an Application to an Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall deliver a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall provide notice of such request to the L/C Participants.  Upon receipt of any Application, an Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto).  Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower. The Borrower is responsible for the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by an Issuing Lender, irrespective of any assistance such Issuing Lender may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by Issuing Lender’s use or refusal to use text submitted by the Borrower. The Borrower is solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for the Borrower’s purposes. The Borrower irrevocably appoints each Issuing Lender as its attorney-in-fact and authorizes each Issuing Lender, without notice to the Borrower, to execute and deliver ancillary documents and letters customary in the letter of credit business that may include but are not limited to advisements, indemnities, checks, bills of exchange and issuance documents. The power of attorney granted by the Borrower is limited solely to such actions related to the issuance, confirmation or amendment of any Letter of Credit and to ancillary documents or letters customary in the letter of credit business. This appointment is coupled with an interest. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (including the amount thereof), and shall provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent as soon as possible after the date of issuance.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Lender and the Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Application, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Lender, the Borrower
46

shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Lender for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Termination Date; provided, however, that the Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (x) such extension would extend the expiry date beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Scheduled Termination Date or (y) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Issuing Lender not to permit such extension.

            3.3  Fees and Other Charges.

(a)  The Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Revolving Loans, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders having a Revolving Commitment (other than Defaulting Lenders to the extent provided in Section 2.18) in accordance with their respective Percentages of the Revolving Credit Facility and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% per annum of the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b)  In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending, renewing or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

            3.4  L/C Participations.

(a)  Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each drawing paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder.  Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a drawing is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed.  Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
47

by the Borrower or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(b)  If any amount (a “Participation Amount”) required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is not paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the L/C Participants, and each L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, on demand (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such Participation Amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360.  If any Participation Amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such Participation Amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted on behalf of an Issuing Lender to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c)  Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from the Administrative Agent any L/C Participant’s pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Participant (and thereafter the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to such L/C Participant) its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to such Issuing Lender) the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender.

            3.5  Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower.  The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender on (i) the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice from an Issuing Lender of a drawing on a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender and paid by such Issuing Lender, if such notice is received on such Business Day prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day on which the Borrower receives such notice, for the amount of (a) such drawing so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment which are obligations of the Borrower hereunder (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”).  Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds.  If the Borrower fails to make such payment in accordance with the foregoing, such failure shall be deemed to constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.1 of ABR Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the Payment Amount.  The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Loans could be made, pursuant to Section 2.1, if the Administrative Agent had
48

received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.

            3.6  Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person.  The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee.  No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit.  The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower. The liability of an Issuing Lender under, in connection with or arising out of any Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by the Borrower that is caused directly by the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, or (iii) retaining documents presented for purposes of drawing under any Letter of Credit, including by electronic transmission such as SWIFT, electronic mail, facsimile or computer generated communication presented under a Letter of Credit (collectively, “Drawing Documents”).  The Borrower’s aggregate remedies against the Issuing Lender for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by the Borrower to the Issuing Lender in respect of the honored presentation in connection with such Letter of Credit under Section 3.5, plus interest at the rate then applicable to ABR Loans that are Revolving Loans hereunder.

            3.7  Letter of Credit Payments.  If any documents shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof.  The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any documents presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be limited, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

            3.8  Applications.  To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

            3.9  Actions of Issuing Lenders.  Each Issuing Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or
49

Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such Issuing Lender.  Each Issuing Lender shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate (provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to obtain such advice or concurrence and no L/C Participant’s obligations hereunder shall be affected by the seeking or the failure to seek any such advice or concurrence) or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the L/C Participants against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, as between the Issuing Lenders and the L/C Participants, each Issuing Lender shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the L/C Participants and any future holders of a participation in any Letter of Credit (provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to obtain such request and no L/C Participant’s obligations hereunder shall be affected by the seeking or the failure to seek any such request).

            3.10  Borrower’s Indemnification.  The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each L/C Participant, each Issuing Lender (and each of its branches, Affiliates and correspondents) and the Administrative Agent, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such L/C Participant, such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such L/C Participant, such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit or any actual or proposed use of any Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Issuing Lender may incur by reason of or in connection with (i) the failure of any other L/C Participant to fulfill or comply with its obligations to an Issuing Lender hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights the Borrower may have against any Defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on account of an Issuing Lender issuing any Letter of Credit which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Letter of Credit does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any L/C Participant, any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Issuing Lender in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) such Issuing Lender’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.  Nothing in this Section is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.

            3.11  Lenders’ Indemnification.  Each L/C Participant shall, ratably in accordance with its Percentage, indemnify each Issuing Lender, its Affiliates, branches and correspondents and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or such Issuing Lender’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit in each case as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that such indemnitees may suffer or
50

incur in connection with this Section or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.

SECTION 9.        THE AGENTS

            9.1  Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints (i) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and (ii) Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent, in each case, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes each Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions (other than with respect to the Borrower’s rights under Sections 9.9(a) and (b)).  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

            9.2  Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may each perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it.  The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may each perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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 and Collateral Agent.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

            9.3  Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)  No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

(i)               shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)             shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that an 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 expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; nor
75

(iii)            shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, nor shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b)  No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.1 and 8), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.

(c)  No Agent shall 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 or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

            9.4  Reliance by Agents.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any 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.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of such Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

            9.5  Notice of Default.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, has received notice from a Lender, an Issuing Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Collateral Agent.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall each take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders.
76

            9.6  Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 and Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates.

            9.7  Indemnification.  The Lenders and the Issuing Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Loans, L/C Obligations and Commitments in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Loans, L/C Obligations and Commitments immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender or Issuing Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

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

            9.9  Successor Agents.

(a)  Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may resign upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.  If either such Agent shall so resign, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or the
77

Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above (subject to the exception in the immediately preceding sentence).  After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of Section 9.7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b)  If the Person serving as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (e) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent and, shall appoint a successor, subject to the approval of the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)  With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable)), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Sections 2.15, 3.10 and 10.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as such Agent.

            9.10  Documentation Agents and Syndication Agent.  None of the Documentation Agents or the Syndication Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

            9.11  Guaranty and Collateral Matters.

(a)  The Lenders and the Issuing Lender irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent to release any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms
78

of Section 10.19.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder pursuant to this Section 9.11.

(b)  The Lenders and the Issuing Lender irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document in accordance with the terms of Section 10.19.  Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release its Liens in accordance with this Section 9.11.

            9.12  Credit Bidding.  The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in each case at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (other than any obligations in respect of Letters of Credit) (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law.  In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations (other than any obligations in respect of Letters of Credit) owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase).

9.13  Cash Management Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Security Document, no Cash Management Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 11.7, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9 to the contrary, no Agent shall be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Cash Management Obligations unless such Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as such Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank. Each Cash Management Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties, against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent or its directors, officers, employees, or agents in connection with such provider’s Cash Management Obligations; provided, however, that no Cash Management Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. No Cash Management Bank will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any such provider, as applicable, any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Loan Documents. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral,
79

each such Cash Management Bank shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.13.

SECTION 10.        MISCELLANEOUS

            10.1  Amendments and Waivers.  Subject to Section 2.3 and 2.11(b), neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1.  The Required Lenders and the Loan Parties may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Parties may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, at any Loan Party’s request, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:

(i)               forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except in connection with (x) the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders) or (y) the Facility Extension Option (as defined as of the Closing Date)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that the conditions to the Facility Extension Option set forth in Section 2.5(b) may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived with the written consent of the Required Lenders;

80

(ix)            release all or substantially all of Guarantors under the Guaranty (except as expressly permitted hereunder) or release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly permitted hereunder or under the Security Documents), in either case without the prior written consent of each Lender; or

(x)             amend or modify any provision in any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of one or more Classes of Loans (but not the Lenders of any other Class of Loans), without the prior written consent of the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and all future holders of the Loans.  In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.1, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and any such amendment, modification or supplement shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party.

If the Required Lenders shall have approved any amendment which requires the consent of all of the Lenders, the Borrower shall be permitted to replace any non-consenting Lender with another financial institution, provided that, (i) the replacement financial institution shall purchase at par (subject to Section 2.6(c)), all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (ii) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.15 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto (as if such purchase constituted a prepayment of such Loans), (iii) such replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender, (iv) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (v) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (i) (x) an increase or extension of any Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, or (y) any reduction of the amount of principal or interest owed to such Defaulting Lender (unless all non-Defaulting Lenders have agreed to a pro rata reduction) shall, in each case, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, and (ii) a Defaulting Lender’s Extensions of Revolving Credit, Initial Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and unused Commitments shall be taken into consideration along with
81

those of non-Defaulting Lenders when voting to approve or disapprove any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders.

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or any Lender shall not be effective until received.

(b)  Notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender and each Lender.  The Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(c)  Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail 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 e-mail or
83

other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email 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.

(d)  (i)  The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

(ii)            The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.”  The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, 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 Communications 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 Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s  or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Platform, except to the extent such liability resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgement. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

            10.3  No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

            10.4  Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

            10.5  Payment of Expenses.  Each Loan Party agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Lenders for all their respective reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, execution and delivery of, and any administration, amendment, supplement, modification or waiver to, this Agreement
84

and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of a financial advisor engaged by the Administrative Agent and only one counsel, one special California regulatory counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, taken as a whole (and in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to each group of similarly situated affected persons), and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of its rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of a financial advisor engaged by the Administrative Agent and only one counsel, one special California regulatory counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, taken as a whole (and in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to each group of similarly situated affected persons), and (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns and the officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons and members of each of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever whether brought by the Borrower or any other Person, with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement and performance of, or arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any such other documents (including commitment and fee letters) and any transactions contemplated by the foregoing, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of PCG and its Subsidiaries or any of the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by PCG and its Subsidiaries and the reasonable fees and expenses of only one legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (c), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that no Loan Party shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have primarily (A) resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s controlled affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors or employees, (B) arisen from a material breach of such Indemnified Person’s funding obligations hereunder or (C) arisen from any dispute between Lenders other than the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such.  Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, PCG agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.  All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor, subject to the applicable Financing Order and the Borrower’s receipt of reasonably detailed invoices.  Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to Treasurer (Telephone No. (415) 817-8199 ###-###-####) (Telecopy No. (415) 267-7265/7268), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.2(a) with a copy to Chief Counsel, Corporate (Telephone No. (415) 817-8200) (Telecopy No. (415) 817-8225), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.2(a), or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent.  The agreements in this Section 10.5
85

shall survive for two years after repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.  This Section 10.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than Taxes that represent claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses arising from non-Tax claims.

            10.6  Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Loan Party may 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 a Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.6.

(b)  (i)  Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) other than a Defaulting Lender, any Subsidiary of a Defaulting Lender, any natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned or operated by or for the primary benefit of, one or more natural persons), the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A)   the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender (or an Affiliate of any Lender) or an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person, and provided further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof from the assigning Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent);

(B)   the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of (x) any Term Loan or Commitment (other than a Revolving Commitment) to an assignee that is a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) or an Approved Fund or (y) any Revolving Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Revolving Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment;

(C)   each Issuing Lender, in the case of the assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment or any Revolving Lender’s obligations in respect of its Participation Amount.

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

(A)   except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Eligible Assignee that is an Affiliate of any Lender party to this Agreement on the Closing Date or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitments 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 $1,000,000 with respect to the assignment of
86

Initial Term Loan Commitments, Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Term Loans and $20,000,000 with respect to the assignment of  Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) with respect to any Lender party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of such Lender and any Affiliate of such Lender that is an Eligible Assignee;

(B)   the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(C)   the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.14(e).

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

(iii)            Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, 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, shall 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 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 10.5 but shall be subject to the limitations set forth therein); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from the Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 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.
87

(iv)            The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall 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, each Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)             Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.14(e) (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)  (i)  Any Lender may, without the consent of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant.  Participants shall not vote on waivers of Defaults or Events of Default.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

(ii)              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent to such greater payments.  Any Participant that is a Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.14(e).

(iii)            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
88

the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)  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 having jurisdiction over such Lender, 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.

(e)  The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(f)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(b).  Each of the Loan Parties, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage, expense, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits or any kind whatsoever arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(g)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, none of the Agents, in their capacity as Lenders, will assign without the consent of the Borrower, prior to the Closing Date, any of the Commitments held by them on the date of this Agreement.

            10.7  Adjustments; Set off.  Subject, in each case, to the applicable Financing Order:

(a)  Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it hereunder, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set off or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender hereunder, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender hereunder, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided,
89

however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b)  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, including other rights of set-off, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), after any applicable grace period, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch, Affiliate or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

            10.8  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart hereof.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

            10.9  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.9, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

            10.10  Integration.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letters represent the entire agreement of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

            10.11  GOVERNING LAW.  EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT GOVERNED BY THE BANKRUPTCY CODE, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
90

            10.12  Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a)  submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, and to the extent the Bankruptcy Court does not have (or abstains from exercising) jurisdiction, the courts of the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b)  consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c)  agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address set forth in Section 10.2(a) or at such other address which has been notified to the parties hereto;

(d)  agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(q)  all other personal property of such Loan Party; and

(r)   to the extent not otherwise included, all accessions to, substitutions, replacement for, and rents, Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing.

All of the foregoing is herein collectively referred to as the “Collateral”; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Collateral (or any component term thereof) include or be deemed to include (i) any contracts, instruments, licenses, license agreements or other documents (or any rights thereunder), to the extent (and only to the extent) that the grant of a security interest therein would (A) constitute a default under, and would give any other party to such contract, instrument, license, license agreement or other document the right to terminate its obligations thereunder or (B) violate any Requirement of Law; provided that the limitation set forth in this clause (i) shall not affect, limit, restrict or impair the grant by a Loan Party of a security interest pursuant to this Agreement in any such right, to the extent that an otherwise applicable prohibition or restriction on such grant is rendered ineffective, or the counterparty to such contract, instrument, license, license agreement or other document is prohibited from exercising any remedies thereunder, by any applicable Requirement of Law, including the UCC or the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) any direct or indirect interest in the Capital Stock of any joint venture, partnership or other entity if and for so long as the grant of such security interest shall constitute a default under or termination pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other organizational documents of, or contract or other agreement of (or covering or purporting to cover the assets of) such joint venture, partnership or entity or its direct or indirect parent, or require the payment of a fee, penalty or similar increased costs or result in the loss of economic benefit or the abandonment or invalidation of a Loan Party’s or any Subsidiary’s interest in such Capital Stock or shall otherwise adversely impact such joint venture, partnership or other entity; provided that the limitation set forth in this clause (ii) shall not affect, limit, restrict or impair the grant by a Loan Party of a security interest pursuant to this Agreement in any such right, to the extent that an otherwise applicable prohibition or restriction on such grant (whether applicable to such Loan Party or to any parent company or Person owned by such Loan Party) is rendered ineffective by, or the applicable party is prohibited from exercising any remedies arising as a result thereof by, any applicable Requirement of Law, including the
95

UCC or the United States Bankruptcy Code, (iii) Avoidance Actions (provided that, from and after the Final Order Entry Date, “Collateral” shall include, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court in the Final Order, all proceeds of any Avoidance Actions), (iv) any amount in excess of 65% of the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary that is not a domestic Subsidiary, (v) any Intellectual Property consisting of intent-to-use trademark applications and rights in and to such applications, prior to the filing of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” to the extent that a grant of security interest in such application would impair validity or enforceability, (vi) leases of real property expressly prohibited from securing debt for borrowed money pursuant to the underlying lease documents or applicable law, (vii) any Flood Hazard Property leased or owned by the Debtors in fee simple that the Administrative Agent shall not have yet determined (A) has sufficient flood insurance coverage to satisfy the flood insurance requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, (B) is not a Flood Hazard Property or (C) is otherwise not subject to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s flood insurance requirements, (viii) [reserved], or (ix) assets to the extent the granting or perfecting of a security interest in such assets would result in costs or other adverse consequences (including, without limitation, adverse tax consequences) to PCG or any of its Subsidiaries as reasonably determined in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that are excessive in view of the benefits that would be obtained by the Secured Parties (it being understood and agreed that if such security interest can be accomplished solely in the applicable Financing Order, the costs do not exceed the benefits) (clauses (i) through (ix), the “Excluded Property”); provided that, with respect to any Excluded Property, immediately and automatically after any such disqualifying condition shall cease to exist, (x) a security interest shall attach and (y) such Excluded Property shall no longer constitute “Excluded Property”; provided, further that Collateral shall include all proceeds and products of Excluded Property that are not themselves Excluded Property.  For the avoidance of doubt, the grant of a security interest in the Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.1 is a grant of a security interest only and is not an assignment, transfer or conveyance of the Collateral.

            11.2  Perfection and Protection of Security Interest.

(a)  Notwithstanding the automatic perfection of any security interest granted hereunder pursuant to the order of the Bankruptcy Court under the applicable Financing Order the Collateral Agent may take such actions as the Collateral Agent shall deem necessary in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and the priority of the security interests created or intended to be created hereby, including (i) filing one or more financing statements disclosing the Liens on the Collateral (including by indicating the Collateral as “all assets”) and (ii) filing a notice of the applicable Financing Order in the real property records in each applicable county where real property owned or leased by any Loan Party is located.

(b)  Each Loan Party shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions that may be required under any Requirement of Law, or that the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be created hereby to the extent required hereunder; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, no Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party will be obligated to enter into any mortgage, authorize any fixture filing, enter into any agreement providing “control” as defined in Section 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 of the UCC as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction or to undertake any registration in respect of assets subject to a certificate of title, it being understood that and all such Liens and security interests shall nonetheless be deemed fully and automatically perfected.

            11.3  Right to Cure.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to, at the written direction of the Required Lenders and upon ten (10) days’ notice to the applicable Loan Party, pay any amount or do any act required of any Loan Party
96

hereunder or under any other Loan Document (other than in respect of principal, interest or fees on the Loans or Letters of Credit) in order to preserve, protect, maintain or enforce the Obligations or its Liens in the Collateral, and which any Loan Party fails to pay or do, including payment of any judgment against any Loan Party, any insurance premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing or processing charge, any landlord’s or bailee’s claim, and any other obligation secured by a Lien upon or with respect to the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not pay any amount being diligently contested by appropriate proceedings.  All payments that the Collateral Agent makes under this Section 11.3 and all out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses that the Collateral Agent pays or incurs in connection with any reasonable action taken by it hereunder shall be considered part of the Obligations.  Any payment made or other action taken by the Collateral Agent under this Section 11.3 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed thereafter as herein provided.

            11.4  Power of Attorney.  Each Loan Party hereby appoints the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent’s designee(s) as such Loan Party’s attorney for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default to (i) sign such Loan Party’s name on any invoice, bill of lading, warehouse receipt or other document of title relating to any Collateral, on assignments of Accounts, on notices of assignment, financing statements and other public records and to file any such financing statements permitted under this Agreement by electronic means with or without a signature as authorized or required by Requirements of Law or filing procedure and (ii) use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner for all purposes.  Each Loan Party ratifies and approves all acts of such attorney.  This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until this Agreement has been terminated and the non-contingent Obligations have been fully satisfied.

            11.5  The Agent’s and Lenders’ Rights, Duties and Liabilities.  The Loan Parties assume all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the use, sale, or other disposition of the Collateral. The Obligations shall not be affected by any failure of the Secured Parties to take any steps to perfect the Liens under the Facilities or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the Collateral release any Loan Party from any of the Obligations.

            11.6  Rights in Respect of Investment Property.  During the existence of an Event of Default, subject to the Financing Orders, (i) the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders may, upon written notice to the relevant Loan Party, transfer or register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, any or all of the Collateral consisting of Investment Property, the proceeds thereof (in cash or otherwise), and all liens, security, rights, remedies and claims of any Loan Party with respect thereto (as used in this Section 11.6 collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”) held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter, after written notice to the applicable Loan Party, exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of any corporation, partnership, or other business entity issuing any of the Pledged Collateral and any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription, or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, or other readjustment of any corporation, partnership, or other business entity issuing any of such Pledged Collateral or upon the exercise by any such issuer or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral, and in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary,
97

transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing, (ii) to the extent permitted under Requirements of Law, after the Collateral Agent’s giving of the notice specified in clause (i) of this Section 11.6, all rights of any Loan Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise and to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain thereunder shall be suspended until such Event of Default shall no longer exist, and all such rights shall, until such Event of Default shall no longer exist, thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, interest, and other distributions, and (iii) each Loan Party shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all such proxies and other instruments as the Collateral Agent or a Lender may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 11.6 and to receive the dividends, interest, and other distributions which it is entitled to receive and retain pursuant to this Section 11.6.

            11.7  Remedies.

(a)  Each Loan Party recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral that constitutes securities to be sold by reason of certain prohibitions contained in applicable federal or state securities laws but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral to be sold for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Unless required by a Requirement of Law, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of such Collateral to be sold for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or under any applicable federal or state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so. Each Loan Party further agrees to do or cause to be done, to the extent that such Loan Party may do so under any Requirements of Law, all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sales or resales of any portion or all of such Collateral or other property to be sold valid and binding and in compliance with any and all Requirements of Law at the Loan Parties’ expense. Each Loan Party further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 11.7(a) will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties for which there is no adequate remedy at law and, as a consequence, agrees that each covenant contained in this Section 11.7(a) shall be specifically enforceable against such Loan Party, and each Loan Party hereby waives and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, not to assert as a defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants that (i) such Loan Party’s failure to perform such covenants will not cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties or (ii) the Secured Parties have an adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach.

(b)  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in addition to all other rights of the Secured Parties, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall be empowered and entitled to (subject to the expiration of the Remedies Notice Period (as defined in the Financing Orders prior to taking any of the following actions): (i) take possession of, foreclose on and/or request a receiver of the Collateral and keep it on any Loan Party’s premises at any
98

time, at no cost to the Secured Parties, or remove any part of it to such other place or places as the Collateral Agent may desire, or the Loan Parties shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s or the Required Lender’s demand, at the Loan Parties’ cost, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent; (ii) exercise of set-off rights on cash collateral or deposits; (iii) sell and deliver any Collateral at public or private sales, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Collateral Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion, and may postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an announcement at the time and place of sale or of such postponed or adjourned sale; (iv) hold, lease, develop, manage, operate, control and otherwise use the Collateral upon such terms and conditions as may be reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable), exercise all such rights and powers of each Loan Party with respect to the Collateral, whether in the name of such Loan Party or otherwise, including without limitation the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all rents, in each case, in accordance with the standards applicable to the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, (v) cause consultants to inspect the Collateral and to assure compliance by each Loan Party of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and (vi) take any other actions under applicable law in connection with the Collateral (including preparing for the disposition thereof), and all actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be borne by the Loan Parties. Upon demand from the Collateral Agent, the applicable Loan Party shall direct the grantor or licensor of, or the contracting party to, any property agreement with respect to any property to recognize and accept the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of and on behalf of the Secured Parties, as the party to such agreement for any and all purposes as fully as it would recognize and accept such Loan Party and the performance of such Loan Party thereunder and, in such event, without further notice or demand and at such Loan Party’s sole cost and expense, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of and on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise all rights of such Loan Party arising under such agreements. Without in any way requiring notice to be given in the following manner, each Loan Party agrees that any notice by the Collateral Agent of sale, disposition or other intended action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the UCC or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to such Loan Party if such notice is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or is delivered personally against receipt, at least ten (10) days prior to such action to the Loan Parties’ address specified in or pursuant to Section 10.2.  If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations until the Collateral Agent or the Lenders receive payment, and if the buyer defaults in payment, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral.  In the event the Collateral Agent seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral by judicial process, each Loan Party irrevocably waives: (A) the posting of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto which might otherwise be required; (B) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover the Collateral; and (C) any requirement that the Collateral Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final judgment. Each Loan Party agrees that the Collateral Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person. The Collateral Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, each Loan Party’s labels, patents, copyrights, name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any similar property, in completing production of, advertising or selling any Collateral, and each such Loan Party’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Collateral Agent’s benefit for such purpose. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to all expenses of sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and then to the Obligations.  The Collateral Agent will return any excess to the applicable Loan Party and the Loan Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency.
99

(c)  The Collateral Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) neither the Collateral Agent nor any Lender may take any action under this Section 11.7 (or similar provisions of any Loan Document) except after compliance with any applicable notice requirements applicable thereto set forth in the Financing Orders and any Requirement of Law applicable thereto.  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts received by the Collateral Agent on account of the Obligations, from the Loan Parties and/or all amounts with respect to the proceeds of any Collateral shall be (subject to the proviso below) promptly disbursed by the Collateral Agent as follows, unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders (or unless otherwise provided in the Financing Orders): (1) first, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing hereunder of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders under the Loan Documents (including all expenses of sale or other realization of or in respect of the Collateral and any sums advanced to the Collateral Agent or to preserve its security interest in the Collateral), (2) second, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing hereunder of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing such Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, (3) third, to pay interest on Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding, (4) fourth, to pay (on a ratable basis) principal of Loans then outstanding and any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding, and to Cash Collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligations or Cash Management Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (5) fifth, to pay the surplus, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. To the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “third” and “fourth” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit which are then not yet required to be reimbursed hereunder, such amounts shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (x) first, to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (y) then following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the type described in such clause “third” and “fourth”.  To the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “third” or “fourth” above are insufficient to pay all obligations described therein in full, such moneys shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders and Issuing Lenders based on their respective Commitments.

SECTION 12.        GUARANTY

            12.1  Guaranty; Limitation of Liability.

(a)  Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the performance and punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations, being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel pursuant to Section 10.5) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party.

(b)  Each Guarantor (the “Contributing Party”) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made by any other Guarantor (the “Claiming Party”) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender under this Guaranty and the Claiming Party is not fully indemnified by the Borrower, the Contributing Party will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Claiming Party so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of the Loan Documents.  Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 12.1(b) shall (subject to Section 12.4) be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment.

(c)  Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount that can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable law, including applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors; provided that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the rights of contribution of each Guarantor provided in Section 12.1(b) be included as an asset of the respective Guarantor in determining the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder.

            12.2  Guaranty Absolute.  Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. The Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses (other than the indefeasible payment in full of all the Secured Obligations) it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a)  any lack of validity or enforceability of any provision under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b)  any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise;

(c)  any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d)  any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party;
101

(e)  any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party;

(f)  any failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information);

(g)  the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h)  any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety, in its capacity as a guarantor or surety.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or any other Person, for whatever reason, all as though such payment had not been made.

            12.3  Waivers and Acknowledgements.

(a)  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

(b)  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

(c)  Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any Loan Document by non-judicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such non-judicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable Requirements of Law.

(d)  Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 12.2 and this Section 12.3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

            12.4  Subordination.  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to enforce any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other Loan Party
102

that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Borrower or any other Loan Party, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, and any such rights shall be fully subordinated until such time. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of (a) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and (b) the Termination Date, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Administrative Agent of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full and (iii) the Termination Date shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.

            12.5  Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and the termination or expiration of all Commitments, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, any Assignee that has been assigned or transferred all or any portion of a Lender’s Loans, Commitments or rights and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.6 shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits granted to such transferring Lender under this Guaranty. No Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein or delegate any of its duties, liabilities or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.

            12.6  Additional Guarantors.  If, at any time, a Subsidiary of PCG or the Borrower becomes a debtor or a debtor-in-possession in the Cases, PCG and the Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor hereunder, by executing a joinder to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (a “Guarantor Joinder”).
