Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Bank of America, N.A. or Citibank, N.A., in their respective capacities as Issuers, be required to issue any Letter of Credit (other than the deemed issuance of the Existing Letters of Credit hereunder on the Effective Date) or to extend the expiration date or increase the stated amount of any Existing Letter of Credit, nor shall the Company request such issuance, extension or increase.

32

(b) In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit be (i) more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (ii) after the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date, unless consented to by the applicable Issuer in such Issuer’s sole discretion; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a term less than or equal to one year may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional periods less than or equal to one year, as long as, on or before the expiration of each such term and each such period, each of the Company and the Issuer of such Letter of Credit shall have the option to prevent such automatic renewal.

(c) In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Company shall give the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit B (Form of Letter of Credit Request) (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to the Issuer, including, but not limited to, the executed Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement of such Issuer), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request”). Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, the currency of issuance and face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day) and, in the case of an issuance, the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) and in the case of Royal Bank of Canada not later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time), on the third Business Day prior to the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(d) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.4, the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Company in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from any LC Participant that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Letter of Credit) or clause (a) above (other than those conditions set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(vi)(B) and (C) above and, to the extent such clause relates to fees owing to the Issuer of such Letter of Credit and its Affiliates, clause (a)(vi)(A) above) are not on such date satisfied or duly waived and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. No Issuer shall otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit.

(e) The Company agrees that, if requested by the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, it shall execute a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement in respect to any Letter of Credit Issued hereunder. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

(f) Each Issuer shall comply with the following:

(i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail, of the Issuance of any Letter of Credit Issued by it, of all drawings under any Letter of Credit Issued by it and of the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the Company of any LC Disbursement (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by telecopy, electronic mail or similar transmission to each LC Participant);

33

(ii) upon the request of any LC Participant, furnish to such LC Participant copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such LC Participant; and

(iii) no later than 10 Business Days following the last day of each calendar month, provide, on demand, to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each LC Participant requesting the same) and the Company separate schedules for Documentary Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit Issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuer, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case outstanding at the end of each month, and any information requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent relating thereto in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer.

(g) Immediately upon the Issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each LC Participant, and each LC Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such LC Participant’s Ratable Portion, in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Company with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto; provided, that in respect of each LC Participant’s interest and participation in a Letter of Credit with an expiration date on or after the Termination Date, the interest and participation of each LC Participant in such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been terminated on the Termination Date.

(h) The Company agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all LC Disbursements made by such Issuer under any Letter of Credit within three Business Days after the Company receives notice thereof, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Company shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) on the same Business Day or any such payment by the Company is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such LC Disbursement shall bear interest thereon computed from the date on which such LC Disbursement arose to the date of reimbursement, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to LC Disbursements pursuant to Section 2.10(a) (Rate of Interest), and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each LC Participant of such failure, and each LC Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such LC Participant’s Ratable Portion of such LC Disbursement (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof if such payment was made in any currency other than Dollars) in immediately available Dollars. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such LC Participant prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, such LC Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such

34

Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. Upon such payment by an LC Participant, such LC Participant shall be deemed to have purchased its Ratable Portion of the relevant LC Disbursement in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from the Company a payment of an LC Disbursement as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from an LC Participant pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay over to the Administrative Agent any amount received in respect of the purchased LC Disbursement and, upon receipt of such amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each LC Participant, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such LC Participant’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the LC Participants have paid in respect of such LC Disbursement.

(i) If and to the extent such LC Participant shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such LC Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter, until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to such LC Disbursement.

(j) The Company’s obligation to pay each LC Disbursement and the obligations of the LC Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any LC Facility Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any LC Facility Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right that the Company, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Company, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any LC Participant or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other LC Facility Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

35

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the LC Participants, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Company’s obligations hereunder.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not result in any liability of such Issuer to the Company or any LC Participant. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer.

Each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit that have been issued under this Agreement on the Effective Date by the Issuer specified on Schedule 1.01(a) (Existing Letters of Credit).

Section 2.5 Reduction and Termination of the LC Commitments

The Company may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably the unused portions of the respective LC Commitments of the LC Participants; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) immediately after giving effect to each such reduction, the Letter of CreditLC Obligation Outstandings shall not exceed the aggregate remaining LC Commitments.

Section 2.6 [Reserved]

Section 2.7 Evidence of Obligations

(a) Each LC Participant shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Company to such LC Participant or Issuer resulting from each LC Disbursement or Issuance of such LC Participant or Issuer from time to time, including the amounts of interest, fees and reimbursements payable and paid to such LC Participant or Issuer from time to time under this Agreement. In addition, each LC Participant or Issuer having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or having identified a Special Purpose

36

Vehicle as such to the Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a record of ownership (the “Participant Register”) in which such LC Participant or Issuer shall register by book entry (i) the name and address of each such participant and Special Purpose Vehicle (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (ii) the rights, interest or obligation of each such participant and Special Purpose Vehicle in any Obligation, in any Letter of Credit, in any LC Commitment, and any LC Disbursement, as the case may be, and in any right to receive payment hereunder; provided that no LC Participant or Issuer shall have an obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or Special Purpose Vehicle or any information relating to a participant’s or Special Purpose Vehicle’s interest in any Obligations, Letters of Credit, LC Commitments, LC Disbursements and in any right to receive payment hereunder) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such LC Commitment, Letter of Credit, or LC Disbursement or other Obligation is in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 187(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations). The entries made in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such LC Participant or Issuer 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 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.

(b) (i) The Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the Administrative Agent’s, each LC Participant’s and each Issuer’s interest in each Obligation, each Letter of Credit, each LC Commitment and each LC Disbursement, and in the right to receive any payments hereunder and any assignment of any such interest or rights. In addition, the Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the names and addresses of the LC Participants and the Issuers, (ii) the LC Commitments of each LC Participant from time to time, (iii) the amount of each LC Disbursement purchased, (iv) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable, and paid, by the Company to, or for the account of, each LC Participant hereunder, (v) the amount that is due and payable, and paid, by the Company to, or for the account of, each Issuer, including the amount of Letter of Credit Obligations due and payable to an Issuer, and (vi) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Company, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest, fees, expenses or other amounts due under the LC Facility Documents and each LC Participant’s and Issuer’s, as the case may be, share thereof, if applicable.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Letter of Credit Obligations are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the LC Participants and the Issuers and their assignees in and to such Letter of Credit Obligations shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. This Section 2.7(b) and Section 11.2 (Assignments and Participations) shall be construed so that the LC Disbursements are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

37

(c) The entries made in the Register and in the accounts therein maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any LC Participant or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Company to repay the LC Disbursements in accordance with their terms. In addition, the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, the LC Participants and the Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as an LC Participant or as an Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Information contained in the Register with respect to any LC Participant or Issuer shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Administrative Agent, such LC Participant or such Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Such interest shall be payable on the date that would otherwise be applicable to such interest pursuant to clause (b) above or otherwise on demand.

38

(d) Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any LC Facility Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other LC Facility Document.

Such customary fees, and standard costs and charges are due and payable in Dollars within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

(c) Defaulting LC Participant Fees. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, during such period as an LC Participant is a Defaulting LC Participant, such Defaulting LC Participant will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above (without prejudice to the rights of the LC Participants other than Defaulting LC Participants in respect of such fees); provided, that (i) to the extent that a Ratable Portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting LC Participant has been reallocated in accordance with Section 2.19(a)(i) (Reallocation of Defaulting LC Participant Commitments) to the Non-Defaulting LC Participants, the fee accruing during such period pursuant to clause (b) above will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting LC Participants, pro rata in accordance with their respective LC Commitments, and (ii) to the extent any portion of such Letter of Credit Obligations cannot be so reallocated to such Non-Defaulting LC Participants, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the Issuer as their interests appear (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.13 (Payments and Computations) will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section 2.12(c)).

The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the LC Participants, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clause (f) below for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or Section 2.16 (Taxes) shall be paid only to the affected LC Participant or LC Participants.

Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a rate of interest hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Each payment by the Company of any LC Disbursement (including interest or fees in respect thereof) and each reimbursement of various costs, expenses or other Obligation shall be made in Dollars; provided, however, that (i) the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement for a Letter of Credit may specify another currency for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements in respect of such Letter of Credit prior to purchase thereof by the LC Participants and (ii) other than for payments in respect of an LC Disbursement, LC Facility Documents duly executed by the Administrative Agent may specify other currencies of payment for Obligations created by or directly related to such LC Facility Document.

If and to the extent that the Company shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each LC Participant shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such LC Participant together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the rate applicable to LC Disbursements) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such LC Participant until the date such LC Participant repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

41

(ii) impose on any LC Participant or Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LC Disbursements acquired by such LC Participant or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any LC Participant or Issuer to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes that are indemnified under Section 2.16 (Taxes) and (B) Excluded Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such LC Participant or Issuer of holding any LC Disbursement (or of maintaining its obligation to acquire any such LC Disbursement) or to increase the cost to such LC Participant or Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Issuer or Participant hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon request of such Issuer of LC Participant, the Company will pay to such Issuer or LC Participant, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuer or LC Participant, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Issuer or LC Participant determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Issuer’s or LC Participant’s capital or on the capital of such Issuer’s or LC Participant’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the LC Disbursements acquired by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such LC Participant, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuer, to a level below that which such Issuer or LC Participant or such Issuer’s or LC Participant’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Issuer’s or LC Participant’s policies and the policies of such Issuer’s or LC Participant’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Issuer or LC Participant, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuer or LC Participant or such Issuer’s or LC Participant’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of an Issuer or LC Participant setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuer or LC Participant or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Issuer or LC Participant, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Issuer or LC Participant to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Issuer’s or LC Participant’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate an Issuer or LC Participant pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Issuer or LC Participant, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Issuer’s or LC Participant’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

42

Section 2.16 Taxes

(a) Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by any Credit Party under any LC Facility Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by any applicable withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16), such LC Participant or such Issuer (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of a payment received by the Administrative Agent for its own account) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b) In addition, each Credit Party agrees to pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes or any other excise, property, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes arising from any payment made under any LC Facility Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement, or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any LC Facility Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(g) Any LC Participant claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such LC Participant, subject such LC Participant to any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise disadvantageous to such LC Participant.

Section 2.17 Substitution of LC Participants

(a) In the event that (i) any LC Participant makes a claim under Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), (ii) any Credit Party is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.16 (Taxes) that is attributable to a particular LC Participant or (iii) any LC Participant becomes a Defaulting LC Participant (any such LC Participant, an “Affected LC Participant”), the Company may substitute any LC Participant and, if reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any other Eligible Assignee (a “Substitute Institution”) for such Affected LC Participant hereunder, after delivery of a written notice (a “Substitution Notice”) by the Company to the Administrative Agent and the Affected LC Participant within a reasonable time following the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i) through (iii) above that the Company intends to make such substitution; provided, however, that, if more than one LC Participant claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Company within 30 days of each other, then the Company may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Company has already substituted one of such Affected LC Participants before the Company’s receipt of the other Affected LC Participants’ claim) less than all, LC Participants making such claims.

45

(b) If the Substitution Notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the Affected LC Participant shall sell, and the Substitute Institution shall purchase, all rights and claims of such Affected LC Participant under the LC Facility Documents, and the Substitute Institution shall assume, and the Affected LC Participant shall be relieved of, the Affected LC Participant’s LC Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected LC Participant under the LC Facility Documents (other than in respect of any damages (which, pursuant to Section 11.5 (Limitation of Liability), do not include exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations). Such purchase and sale (and the corresponding assignment of all rights and claims hereunder) shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and shall be effective on (and not earlier than) the later of (i) the receipt by the Affected LC Participant of all Letter of CreditLC Obligation Outstandings owing to such LC Participant, together with any other Obligations then due and owing to it, (ii) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to it and the Company whereby the Substitute Institution shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (iii) the payment in full to the Affected LC Participant in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date. Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption, the Substitute Institution shall become a “LC Participant” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having an LC Commitment in the amount of such Affected LC Participant’s LC Commitment assumed by it and such LC Commitment of the Affected LC Participant shall be terminated; provided, however, that all indemnities under the LC Facility Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected LC Participant.

(c) Each LC Participant agrees that, if it becomes an Affected LC Participant and its rights and claims are assigned hereunder to a Substitute Institution pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such assignment; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected LC Participant to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid.

Section 2.18 [Reserved]Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement.

Section 2.19 Defaulting LC Participant

(a) Reallocation of Defaulting LC Participant LC Commitments. If an LC Participant becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting LC Participant, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding and future Letter of Credit Obligations:

(i) in the case of each Defaulting LC Participant, the Ratable Portion of such Defaulting LC Participant with respect to any such outstanding and future Letter of Credit Obligations (other than LC Disbursements previously purchased by such LC Participant) will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the date such LC Participant becomes a Defaulting LC Participant) among the LC Participants that are Non-Defaulting LC Participants pro rata in accordance with such Non-Defaulting LC Participants’ respective LC Commitments; provided, that (A) no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing at the time of such reallocation, (B) the sum of each Non-Defaulting LC Participant’s Ratable Portion of the LC Obligation Outstandings (other than LC Disbursements previously purchased by Defaulting LC Participant) may not in any event exceed the LC Commitment of such Non-Defaulting LC Participant as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (C) subject to Section 11.21 (Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions), neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting LC Participant pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Company, the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any other LC Participant may have against such Defaulting LC Participant, or cause such Defaulting LC Participant to be a Non-Defaulting LC Participant;

47

(ii) in the case of each Defaulting LC Participant, to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Ratable Portion of such Defaulting LC Participant with respect to any such outstanding and future Letter of Credit Obligations (other than LC Disbursements previously purchased by such Defaulting LC Participant) cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Company will, not later than five Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Issuer), (A) provide a “back-to-back” letter of credit from a financial institution acceptable to the Administrative Agent in the amount of 105% of the unreallocated portion in respect of such Letter of Credit Obligations, or (B) make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuer in their reasonable discretion, to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting LC Participant; and

(iii) in the case of each Defaulting LC Participant, any amount paid by the Company for the account of such Defaulting LC Participant under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting LC Participant, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated, non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.12(c) (Defaulting LC Participant Fees)) the termination of the LC Commitments and payment in full of all the Obligations and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting LC Participant to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting LC Participant to any Issuing LC Participant (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the LC Participants hereunder other than Defaulting LC Participants, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting LC Participants hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and LC Disbursements then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting LC Participants hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting LC Participants, and seventh after payment in full of all amounts described above, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting LC Participant or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Termination of Defaulting LC Participant LC Commitments. The Company may terminate the unused amount of the LC Commitment of a Defaulting LC Participant upon not less than 3 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (who will promptly notify the LC Participants thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.13 (Payments and Computations) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Company for the account of such Defaulting LC Participant under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided, that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or any LC Participant may have against such Defaulting LC Participant.

48

(d) Cure. If the Company, Administrative Agent and the Issuer, as applicable, agree in writing in their discretion that an LC Participant that is a Defaulting LC Participant should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting LC Participant, as the case may be, 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 amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.19(a) (Defaulting LC Participant)), such LC Participant will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding LC Disbursements of the other LC Participants and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause such LC Participant’s Ratable Portion to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective LC Commitment, whereupon such LC Participant will cease to be a Defaulting LC Participant and will become a Non-Defaulting LC Participant; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while such LC Participant was a Defaulting LC Participant; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting LC Participant to Non-Defaulting LC Participant will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such LC Participant having been a Defaulting LC Participant.

If at any time after termination of the LC Commitments or acceleration of the maturity of the LC Disbursements, the Company shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the LC Disbursements that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than non-payment of principal of and accrued interest on the LC Disbursements due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), then upon the written consent of the Requisite LC Participants and written notice to the Company, the termination of the LC Commitments or the acceleration of the LC Disbursements and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; provided, however, that such action shall not

69

affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the LC Participants and the Issuers to a decision that may be made at the election of the Requisite LC Participants, and such provisions are not intended to benefit the Company and do not give the Company the right to require the LC Participants to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

Without limiting the foregoing, each LC Participant and each Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the LC Facility Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such LC Facility Documents and, in the case of the Collateral Documents, to act as agent and representative for the LC Participants, Issuers and the other Secured Parties under such Collateral Documents.

(b) As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other LC Facility Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite LC Participants, and such instructions shall be binding upon all LC Participants and each Issuer; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the LC Participants and the Issuers with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each LC Participant and each Issuer prompt notice of each notice given to it by any Credit Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other LC Facility Documents.

(c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other LC Facility Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the LC Participants and the Issuers except to the limited extent provided in Section 2.7(c) (Evidence of Obligations), and its duties are entirely administrative in nature. The Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other LC Facility Documents or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any LC Participant, Issuer or holder of any other Obligation. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties under any LC Facility Document by or through its agents or employees and may appoint sub-agents hereunder (including for purposes of the Register and for purposes

(e) The Arranger shall have no obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other LC Facility Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity.

Section 10.2 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

None of the Administrative Agent, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it, him, her or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other LC Facility Documents, except for its, his, her or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (a) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 2.7 (Evidence of Obligations), (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Company or any other Credit Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (c) makes no warranty or representation to any LC Participant or Issuer and shall not be responsible to any LC Participant or Issuer for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Group Member in or in connection with this Agreement or any other LC Facility Document, (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire either as to the performance or observance of

71

Section 10.3 Posting of Approved Electronic Communications

(a) Each of the LC Participants, the Issuers and each Group Member agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the LC Participants and Issuers by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinks™ or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the LC Participants, the Issuers and each Group Member acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the LC Participants, the Issuers, and each Group Member hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(c) The Approved Electronic Platform and the Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available.” None of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the “Agent Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications or the Approved Electronic Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Approved Electronic Platform and the Approved Electronic 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 the Agent Affiliates in connection with the Approved Electronic Platform or the Approved Electronic Communications.

72

(d) Each of the LC Participants, the Issuers and each Group Member agree that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

Section 10.4 The Administrative Agent Individually

With respect to its Ratable Portion, Barclays shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other LC Participant. The terms “LC Participants,” “LC Participants,” “Requisite LC Participants” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include, without limitation, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as an LC Participant, an LC Participant or as one of the Requisite LC Participants. Barclays and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, any Credit Party as if Barclays were not acting as the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.5 LC Participant Credit Decision

Each LC Participant and each Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other LC Participant, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and each other Credit Party in connection with the acquisition of the LC Disbursements and with the Issuance of the Letters of Credit. Each LC Participant and each Issuer also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other LC Participant and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and other LC Facility Documents. Except for documents expressly required by any LC Facility Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the LC Participants or the Issuers, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any LC Participant or any Issuer with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof or any employee or agent of any of the foregoing.

Section 10.6 Indemnification

Each LC Participant agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company), from and against such LC Participant’s aggregate Ratable Portion of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on,

73

incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other LC Facility Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other LC Facility Documents; provided, however, that no LC Participant shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, each LC Participant agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other LC Facility Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company or another Credit Party. Nothing herein shall limit the Company’s indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement.

Section 10.7 Successor Administrative Agent

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the LC Participants and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite LC Participants shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite LC Participants, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the LC Participants, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, selected from among the LC Participants. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Company (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other LC Facility Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the LC Facility Documents. After such resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article X as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other LC Facility Documents.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, if an LC Participant becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting LC Participant, and the Company shall not have satisfied its obligations set forth in Section 2.19 (Defaulting LC Participant), the Issuer may, upon prior written notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent, resign as Issuer, effective at the close of business New York City time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than 30 days

74

after the date of such notice); provided that such resignation by the Issuer will have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligations of the Company or any LC Participant under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to the Issuer.

Section 10.8 Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents

(a) Each LC Participant and each Issuer agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite LC Participants (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the LC Participants) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other LC Facility Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite LC Participants (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the LC Participants, Issuers and other Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to

(i) (i) execute and deliver each Collateral Document and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by any Group Member,

(ii) (i) act as representative for the LC Participants, the Issuers and the other Secured Parties for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein,

(iii) (iii) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral,

(iv) (iv) take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created by the Collateral Documents to secure the Obligations, and

(v) (v) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other LC Facility Document, exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent, the LC Participants, the Issuers and the other Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral under the LC Facility Documents relating thereto, applicable law or otherwise.

(b) Each of the LC Participants and the Issuers hereby consents to the release and hereby directs, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (ii) below, release or subordinate) any Lien held for the benefit of the LC Participants and the Issuers against any of the following:

(i) all of the Collateral and all Credit Parties, upon termination of the LC Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all LC Disbursements, if any, and all other Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable (and, in respect of contingent Letter of Credit Obligations, with respect to which a back-up letter of credit has been issued in the appropriate currency and on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuers); and

75

(ii) any part of the Collateral sold or disposed of by a Credit Party if such sale or disposition is permitted by Section 8.4 (Sale of Assets) (or permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent to a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement).

Any Guarantor disposed of, if such disposition is permitted by this Agreement, shall be automatically released from any of its obligations under the Guaranty, Stock Pledge Agreement or any other LC Facility Document to which it is a party, unless either immediately before or after giving effect to such release a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Each of the LC Participants and the Issuers hereby directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements and do such other things as are necessary to release Liens, or otherwise evidence the release of obligations, to be released pursuant to this Section 10.8 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release.

Section 10.9 Withholding Taxes

To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any LC Participant or Issuer an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.16 (Taxes), each LC Participant and each Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within 10 days after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any LC Participant or Issuer for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such LC Participant or Issuer failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any LC Participant or Issuer by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each LC Participant and each Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such LC Participant or Issuer under this Agreement or any other LC Facility Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.9. The agreements in this Section 10.9 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a LC Participant or Issuer, the termination of the LC Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

Section 10.10 Erroneous Payment

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies an LC Participant, Issuer, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of an LC Participant, Issuer such LC Participant, Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient (any such LC Participant, Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or

76

otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such LC Participant, Issuer or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each LC Participant, Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of an LC Participant, Issuer or Secured Party such LC Participant, Issuer or Secured Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such LC Participant, Issuer or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

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

(ii) such LC Participant, Issuer or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.10(b).

77

(c) Each LC Participant, Issuer and Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such LC Participant, Issuer or Secured Party under any LC Facility Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such LC Participant, Issuer or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any LC Participant, Issuer or Secured Party that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such LC Participant or Issuer at any time, (i) such LC Participant or Issuer shall be deemed to have assigned Letter of Credit Obligations (but not its LC Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Letter of Credit Obligations (but not LC Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Company) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee lender shall become the Secured Party hereunder (for its own account) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning LC Participant or assigning Issuer shall cease to be an LC Participant or Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable LC Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning LC Participant or assigning Issuer and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Letter of Credit Obligations subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, subject to Section 11.2, sell any Letter of Credit Obligations acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable LC Participant or Issuer shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Letter of Credit Obligations (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such LC Participant or Issuer (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the LC Commitments of any LC Participant or Issuer and such LC Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold an Letter of Credit

78

Obligation (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable LC Participant, Issuer or Secured Party under the LC Facility Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Letter of Credit Obligations owed by the Company or any other Guarantor, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Company or any Guarantor for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

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

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.10 (Erroneous Payment) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, an LC Participant or Issuer, the termination of the LC Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Letter of Credit Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any LC Facility Document.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all affected LC Participants, the consent of Requisite LC Participants is obtained but the consent of other LC Participants whose consent is required is not obtained (any such LC Participant whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting LC Participant”), then, as long as the LC Participant acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting LC Participant, at the Company’s request, any Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting LC Participant, and such Non-Consenting LC Participant agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the LC Participant acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the LC Commitments, and LC Obligation Outstandings of such Non-Consenting LC Participant for an amount equal to the principal balance of all LC Disbursements held by the Non-Consenting LC Participant and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale; provided, however, that such purchase and sale shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and shall not be effective until (x) the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (y) such Non-Consenting LC Participant shall have received payments of all LC Disbursements held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of the sale. Each LC Participant agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting LC Participant, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment anand Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting LC Participant to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as an LC Participant is a Defaulting LC Participant, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such LC Participant will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the LC Commitment and the outstanding LC Disbursements or other extensions of credit of such LC Participant hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Requisite LC Participants or all of the LC Participants, as required, have approved any such amendment or

81

waiver (and the definition of “Requisite LC Participants” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided, that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the LC Commitment of such Defaulting LC Participant, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting LC Participant hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting LC Participant, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting LC Participant or of any fee payable to such Defaulting LC Participant hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting LC Participant.

Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations

(a) Each LC Participant may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to LC Disbursements and the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning LC Participant’s LC Obligation Outstandings and LC Commitments, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such LC Participant’s LC Obligation Outstandings and LC Commitments, (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the assignor’s entire interest) be less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, except, in either case, (A) with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent or (B) if such assignment is being made to an LC Participant or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such LC Participant and (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, an LC Participant or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of an LC Participant, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and the Company (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days of having received notice thereof; and provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.2, the consent of the Company shall not be required for any assignment occurring when any Event of Default specified in Section 9.1(a), (b), or (f) (Events of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance. Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register of any Assignment and Acceptance and, other than in respect of assignments made pursuant to Section 2.17 (Substitution of LC Participants) and Section 11.1(c) (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the LC Facility Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of an LC Participant and, if such LC Participant were an Issuer, of such Issuer hereunder and thereunder and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been

82

assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the LC Facility Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning LC Participant’s rights and obligations under the LC Facility Documents, such LC Participant shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in the Register the names and addresses of the LC Participants and Issuers and the principal amount of the LC Disbursements owing to each LC Participant from time to time and the LC Commitments of each LC Participant. Any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register.

(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning LC Participant and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record or cause to be recorded the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Company.

(e) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each LC Participant may do each of the following:

(i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to purchase all or any part of any LC Disbursement that such LC Participant would otherwise be required to purchase hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the purchasing of LC Disbursements pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such LC Disbursements are purchased) the obligation of such LC Participant to purchase such LC Disbursements thereunder; provided, however, that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to purchase LC Disbursements hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the purchasing of LC Disbursements for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement) and (y) such LC Participant’s obligations under the LC Facility Documents shall remain unchanged, such LC Participant shall remain responsible to the other parties for the performance of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and shall remain the holder of the Obligations for all purposes hereunder; and

(ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the LC Disbursements), to (A) without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Company, any Federal Reserve Bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) or other central bank having jurisdiction over such LC Participant and (B) without consent of the Administrative Agent or the Company, (1) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of, the holders of such LC Participant’s securities and (2) any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such LC Participant has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above;

83

provided, however, that no such assignment or grant shall release such LC Participant from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above and except, in the case of a subsequent foreclosure pursuant to an assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 11.2 other than this clause (e) or clause (f) below. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (e) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations). The terms of the designation of, or assignment to, such Special Purpose Vehicle shall not restrict such LC Participant’s ability to, or grant such Special Purpose Vehicle the right to, consent to any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or any other LC Facility Document or to the departure by the Company from any provision of this Agreement or any other LC Facility Document without the consent of such Special Purpose Vehicle except, as long as the Administrative Agent and the LC Participants, Issuers and other Secured Parties shall continue to, and shall be entitled to continue to, deal solely and directly with such LC Participant in connection with such LC Participant’s obligations under this Agreement, to the extent any such consent would reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Obligations, amend this clause (e) or postpone any scheduled date of payment of such principal or interest. Each Special Purpose Vehicle shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.16 (Taxes) (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections, it being understood that any documentation required to be provided under Section 2.16(f) shall be provided to such LC Participant) as if it were an LC Participant; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes) to any such Special Purpose Vehicle any payment in excess of the amount the Company would have been obligated to pay to such LC Participant in respect of such interest if such Special Purpose Vehicle had not been assigned the rights of such LC Participant hereunder; and provided, further, that such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Company, the Administrative Agent or the other LC Participants.

(f) Each LC Participant may sell participations to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the LC Facility Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to LC Disbursements and the Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the Participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any LC Facility Documents, the consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such LC Participant may have under or in respect of the LC Facility Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Credit Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such Participant under the LC Facility Documents, to which such Participant would otherwise be entitled under such

84

participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with Section 10.8(b) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents). In the event of the sale of any participation by any LC Participant, (w) such LC Participant’s obligations under the LC Facility Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such LC Participant shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such LC Participant shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the other LC Participants shall continue to deal solely and directly with such LC Participant in connection with such LC Participant’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.16 (Taxes) (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections, it being understood that any documentation required to be provided under Section 2.16(f) shall be provided to such LC Participant) as if it were an LC Participant; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes) than such LC Participant would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the sale of the participation takes place.

(g) Any Issuer may at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other LC Participant by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such LC Participant, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7(c) (Evidence of Obligations) relating to notations of transfer in the Register. If any Issuer ceases to be an LC Participant hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2, then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4 (Letters of Credit) shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date.

Section 11.3 Costs and Expenses

(a) The Company agrees upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arranger for, all of the Administrative Agent’s or the Arranger’s, as the case may be, reasonable internal and external audit, legal, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation expenses and for all other reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel, Cahill Gordon & ReindelLatham & Watkins LLP, one local legal counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, auditors, accountants, appraisers, field examiners, printers, insurance and environmental advisors, and other consultants and agents) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any of the following: (i) the Administrative Agent’s audit and investigation of the Group Members in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution of any LC Facility Document or the Administrative Agent’s periodic audits of the Group Members, as the case may be, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution or interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions Precedent)), any LC Facility Document or any proposal letter or commitment letter issued

85

in connection therewith, or the Issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder, (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under any LC Facility Document (including any reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses for local counsel in various jurisdictions), (iv) the ongoing administration of this Agreement, any Letters of Credit Issued hereunder and any LC Disbursements, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent’s rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other LC Facility Documents, (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any Obligation or the enforcement of any LC Facility Document, (vi) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, any Credit Party, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any other LC Facility Document, (vii) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the Administrative Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in which the Administrative Agent is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, any Credit Party, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any other LC Facility Document or (viii) any amendment, consent, waiver, assignment, restatement, or supplement to any LC Facility Document or the preparation, negotiation and execution of the same. The foregoing notwithstanding, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall only be obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent and LC Participants for two audits and/or appraisals in any Fiscal Year.

(b) The Company further agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of the LC Participants and Issuers upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement), incurred by the Administrative Agent, such LC Participants or such Issuers in connection with any of the following: (i) in enforcing any LC Facility Document or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default, (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “workout” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, any Credit Party, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other LC Facility Document or (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above.

Section 11.4 Indemnities

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, each LC Participant and each Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of the directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, representatives, attorneys, consultants and advisors of or to any of the foregoing (including those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions Precedent) (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”)) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses, joint or several, of any kind or nature (including reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of financial and legal advisors to any such Indemnitee) that may be imposed on,

86

incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its directors, security holders or creditors or any such Indemnitee, director, security holder or creditor is a party thereto, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other LC Facility Document, any Obligation, any Letter of Credit or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Letters of Credit or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Company shall not have any liability under this Section 11.4 to an Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter that has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of any Group Member involving any property subject to a Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning any Group Member, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien and (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (49 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to any Group Member, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any Group Member by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Participant or any Issuer, or the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Participant or any Issuer having become the successor in interest to any Group Member and (y) attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, such LC Participant or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, such LC Participant or such Issuer.

(b) The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the LC Participants and each Issuer for, and hold the Administrative Agent, the LC Participants and each Issuer harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the LC Participants and the Issuers for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) The Company, at the request of any Indemnitee, shall have the obligation to defend against any investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, in each case contemplated in clause (a) above, and the Company, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with legal counsel of the Company’s choice. In the event that such Indemnitee requests the Company to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested

87

Remedial Action, the Company shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall vitiate or in any way impair the Company’s obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee.

(d) The Company agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other LC Facility Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other LC Facility Document.

Section 11.5 Limitation of Liability

(a) The Company agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other LC Facility Documents, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). The Company hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(b) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY AGENT AFFILIATE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY CREDIT PARTY, LC PARTICIPANT, ISSUER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY CREDIT PARTY OR ANY AGENT AFFILIATE’S TRANSMISSION OF APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR ANY USE OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT AFFILIATE IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT AFFILIATE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

Section 11.6 Right of Set-off

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and so long as the Requisite LC Participants have requested that the Administrative Agent declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies), or the Obligations have become immediately due and payable without notice pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies), then each LC Participant and each Affiliate of an LC Participant is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and

88

apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Obligations at any time owing by such LC Participant or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Group Member against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such LC Participant shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other LC Facility Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured. Each LC Participant agrees promptly to notify the Company after any such set-off and application made by such LC Participant or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each LC Participant under this Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such LC Participant may have.

Section 11.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) If any LC Participant (directly or through an Affiliate thereof) obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) of the LC Disbursements owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses) or 11.4 (Indemnities) (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes)) or otherwise receives any Collateral or any “Proceeds” (as defined in the Stock Pledge Agreement) of Collateral (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes)) (in each case, whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off (including pursuant to Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off) or otherwise)) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the LC Participant, such LC Participant (a “Purchasing LC Participant”) shall forthwith purchase from the other LC Participants (each, a “Selling LC Participant”) such participations in their LC Disbursements or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing LC Participant to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

(b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing LC Participant is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing LC Participant, such purchase from each Selling LC Participant shall be rescinded and such Selling LC Participant shall repay to the Purchasing LC Participant the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling LC Participant’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling LC Participant’s required repayment in relation to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing LC Participant) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Purchasing LC Participant in respect of the total amount so recovered.

(c) The Company agrees that any Purchasing LC Participant so purchasing a participation from a Selling LC Participant pursuant to this Section 11.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such LC Participant were the direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

Section 11.20 No LC Participant Parties Implied Duties

The Administrative Agent, the Arranger, each LC Participant and each of their respective Affiliates (for the purposed of this Section 11.20 each a “LC Participant Party” and, collectively the “LC Participant Parties”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in this Agreement or any of the other LC Facility Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any LC Participant Party, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other.

96

and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this LC Facility Agreement or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any LC Participant or Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under this LC Facility Agreement, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any LC Participant or Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 11.22 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

To the extent that the LC Facility Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the LC Facility Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

97

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the LC Facility Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the LC Facility Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting LC Participant shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 11.22, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
