2.11    Fees and Reductions in Commitments.

2.11.1    Commitment Fee.    The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (subject to Section 2.29(a)(iii)) a commitment fee on the aggregate unused amount of such Revolving Lender’s Commitment from the date hereof until the Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate, payable on each Payment Date and on the Termination Date. For purposes of calculating the commitment fees hereunder, (i) the principal amount of each Revolving Advance made in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall be at any time the Equivalent Amount of such Revolving Advance as determined on the most recent Revaluation Date with respect to such Revolving Advance and (ii) outstanding Swing Loans shall not constitute usage of any Revolving Lender’s Commitment.

2.16    Method of Payment.

(a)    Each Revolving Advance shall be repaid by the applicable Borrower and each payment of interest thereon shall be paid by the applicable Borrower in the currency in which such Revolving Advance was made. All such payments to be made in Dollars and all other payments in respect of the Obligations (other than payments in respect of Swing Loans, which shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.16(c) below) shall be made by the applicable Borrower, without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at (except as set forth in the next sentence) the Administrative Agent’s Lending Installation, by noon (local time at the place of payment) on the date due and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Revolving Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares (based on the Class of the Revolving Advance to which such payment is to be applied, as designated by the applicable Borrower pursuant Section 2.16(b)). All such payments to be made in any currency other than Dollars (other than payments in respect of Swing Loans, which shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.16(c) below) shall be made by the applicable Borrower, without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff, in such currency by noon (local time at the place of payment) on the date due in such funds as may then be customary for the settlement of international transactions in such currency for the account of the Administrative Agent, at its Lending Installation for such currency, and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Revolving Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares (based on the Class of the Revolving Advance to which such payment is to be applied, as designated by the applicable Borrower pursuant Section 2.16(b)). Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Revolving Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at such Lender’s address specified pursuant to Article XIV or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender.

(b)    If there is more than one Class of Loans outstanding at such time, concurrently with each payment made under this Section 2.16 and each prepayment made under Section 2.17, the

applicable Borrower shall designate to the Administrative Agent the Class of Revolving Advance or Swing Loan to which such payment or prepayment should be applied.

(c)    Each Swing Loan shall be repaid by the applicable Borrower and each payment of interest thereon shall be paid by the applicable Borrower in the currency of such Swing Loan to the Lending Installation of the applicable Swing Lender. All such payments shall be made by the applicable Borrower by noon (London time), without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff, on or before the Maturity Date in such funds as may then be customary for the settlement of international transactions in the applicable currency for the account of the Lending Installation of the applicable Swing Lender.

(d)    [Reserved].

(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.16, if, after the making of any Revolving Advance in any currency other than Dollars or any Swing Loan, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues the applicable currency with the result that the type of currency in which such Revolving Advance, such Swing Loan was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the applicable Borrower is not able to make payment in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by such Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that such Borrower take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the commencement of the third stage of the European Economic and Monetary Union shall not constitute the imposition of currency control or exchange regulations.

(f)    The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Advances, to fund participations in Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.24 and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.6(c) are several and not joint. Subject to Section 2.29(a)(iv), the failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be funded by it hereunder, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.6(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to fund its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.6(c).

In the event of any conflict between the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts of any Lender, the accounts of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(d)    Any Revolving Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit E (a “Note”). In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Revolving Lender such Note payable to such Revolving Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 13.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 13.3, except to the extent that any such Revolving Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clauses (a) and (b) above.

2.19    Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to convert or continue Revolving Advances based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be an Authorized Officer, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically by an Authorized Officer. The applicable Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender a written confirmation (signed by an Authorized Officer) of each telephonic notice, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender in accordance with the telephonic notice of the applicable Borrower, the records of the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall govern absent manifest error.

Interest accrued on each Swing Loan shall be paid by the applicable Borrower on the Maturity Date therefor and on any date on which such Swing Loan is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise. Interest and commitment fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360‑day year, except for interest on Base Rate Loans calculated by reference to the “prime rate” of Bank of America and Swing Loans denominated in Sterling and Revolving Loans denominated in Sterling, which shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365‑day year or when appropriate, a 366-day year. Interest shall be payable by the applicable Borrower for the day a Loan is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made by the applicable Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.21    Notification of Revolving Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each applicable Lender of the contents of each Total Commitment reduction notice, Revolving Advance Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice and repayment or prepayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each applicable Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurocurrency Rate Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Base Rate or the Same Day Rate.

2.22    Lending Installations. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and Visa Inc. in accordance with Article XIV, or the Administrative Agent, may by written notice to Visa Inc. and the Lenders, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made available by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation.

2.23    Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender on (in the case of a Base Rate Advance, a Same Day Dollar Advance or a Tranche B Same Day Multi-Currency Advance) or prior to (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance) the proposed date of any Revolving Advance that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Revolving Advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2, as applicable, and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Revolving Advance available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such

Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Compensation Rate and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to such Advance. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Revolving Advance. Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Compensation Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or such Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.24    Participations in Swing Loans. (a) Each Tranche B Lender agrees that it shall at all times have a participation in, and acknowledges that it is irrevocably and unconditionally obligated, upon receipt of notice that the Administrative Agent has received a Swing Participation Funding Notice for any Swing Loan, to fund (or to cause an Affiliate to fund) its participation in, such outstanding Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (or such greater share as may be determined pursuant to Section 2.29(a)(iv)) of the amount of such Swing Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate Total Exposure of any Lender (whether directly or by funded or unfunded participation) shall not exceed such Lender’s Tranche B Commitment.

(b)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Tranche B Lender of its receipt of a Swing Participation Funding Notice. Promptly (and in any event within three Business Days in the case of Swing Loans) after receipt of such Notice, each Tranche B Lender shall (or shall cause an Affiliate to) make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Swing Lender an amount in the applicable Agreed Currency and in Same Day Funds equal to its applicable share of all outstanding Swing Loans of such Swing Lender (it being understood that no Tranche B Lender which is an Affiliate of a Swing Lender shall be obligated to make any amount available to such Swing Lender unless otherwise required by such Swing Lender). If any Tranche B Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swing Lender the full amount of such Tranche B Lender’s participations in all Swing Loans of such Swing Lender by the date which is three Business Days after its receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent, then interest shall accrue on such Tranche B Lender’s obligations to fund such participations, from such date to the date such Tranche B Lender pays such obligations in full,

at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to each relevant Loan as in effect from time to time during such period. Until each Tranche B Lender funds its risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.24, interest in respect of such participation shall be solely for the account of the applicable Swing Lender.

(c)    From and after the date on which the Administrative Agent has received a Swing Participation Funding Notice for any Swing Loan, all funds received by a Swing Lender in payment of any Swing Loan made by such Swing Lender, interest accrued thereon after the third Business Day following delivery of such notice and other amounts payable in respect thereof shall be delivered by such Swing Lender to the Administrative Agent, in the same funds as those received by such Swing Lender, to be distributed to all Tranche B Lenders in accordance with their applicable shares (i.e., giving effect to the funding of participations pursuant to this Section 2.24), except that the applicable share of such funds of any Tranche B Lender that has not funded its participations as provided herein shall be retained by such Swing Lender.

(d)    If the Administrative Agent or any Swing Lender is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator or custodian or any official in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, any portion of any payment made by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent or such Swing Lender in respect of any Swing Loan or any interest thereon, each Tranche B Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swing Lender its applicable share of the amount so returned by the Administrative Agent or such Swing Lender plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amount is returned by such Tranche B Lender to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the rate specified by such Swing Lender as its cost of funds for such period.

(e)    The Required Lenders, the Swing Lenders and the Administrative Agent may agree on any other reasonable method (such as making assignments of Swing Loans) for sharing the risks of Swing Loans ratably among all Tranche B Lenders as provided herein so long as such method does not materially disadvantage any Lender.

(f)    Each Tranche B Lender’s obligation to fund its participation interests in Swing Loans pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Tranche B Lender may have against any other Lender, any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect, (c) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower or any other Lender, (d) any inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which any participation interest in any Swing Loan is to be funded or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(g)    Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (f) above, no Tranche B Lender shall be required to fund a participation interest in any Swing Loan if, prior to the making of such Swing Loan, the applicable Swing Lender received written notice from the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders specifying that one or more of the conditions

precedent to the making of such Swing Loan were not satisfied and, in fact, such conditions precedent to the making of such Swing Loan were not satisfied at the time of the making of such Swing Loan; provided that the obligation of such Tranche B Lender to fund such participation interest shall be reinstated on the date on which all conditions precedent to the making of such Swing Loan have been satisfied (or waived by the Required Lenders or all Tranche B Lenders, as applicable).

2.25    Designated Borrowers    . (a) Designation. (i) Visa Inc. may, upon ten Business Days prior notice, at any time, and from time to time, by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Designation Agreement duly executed by Visa Inc. and the respective Subsidiary and substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, designate such Subsidiary as a “Designated Borrower” for purposes of this Agreement and such Subsidiary shall thereupon become a “Designated Borrower” for purposes of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder; provided that no such Designated Borrower may borrow hereunder unless the conditions in Section 4.2 are satisfied on the date of the initial borrowing by such Designated Borrower; and provided further that if such Subsidiary is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than that of the United States or a political subdivision thereof (or, solely in the case of a designation of Visa Europe Limited, the United Kingdom), Visa Inc. shall give 15 Business Days prior notice to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each such designation by Visa Inc. and the identity of the respective Subsidiary. Following the giving of any notice pursuant to this Section 2.25, if the designation of such Designated Borrower obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or other identification and customary due diligence procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, Visa Inc. shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” and customary due diligence or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations.

If Visa Inc. shall designate as a Designated Borrower hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, any Lender may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and Visa Inc., fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate or branch of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of such Designated Borrower.

(ii)    As soon as practicable and in any event within five Business Days after notice of the designation under Section 2.25(a)(i) of a Designated Borrower that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than of the United States or a political subdivision thereof (or, solely in the case of a designation of Visa Europe Limited, the United Kingdom), any Lender that may not legally lend to, or whose internal policies, consistently applied, preclude lending to, such Designated Borrower (a “Protesting Lender”) shall so notify Visa Inc. and the Administrative Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, Visa Inc. shall, effective on or before the date that such Designated Borrower shall have the right to borrow hereunder, either (A) (i) replace such Protesting Lender in accordance with Section 2.28 or (ii) notify the Administrative Agent and such Protesting Lender that the Commitments of such Protesting Lender shall be terminated; provided that (x) Visa Inc. shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Swing Lender, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (y) such Protesting Lender shall

have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, including amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.5, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the relevant Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), or (B) cancel its request to designate such Subsidiary as a “Designated Borrower” hereunder.

(b)    Termination. Upon the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all of the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement of any Designated Borrower, so long as at the time no Revolving Advance Borrowing Notice or Swing Loan Borrowing Notice in respect of such Designated Borrower is outstanding, such Subsidiary’s status as a “Designated Borrower” shall terminate upon notice to such effect from the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (which notice the Administrative Agent shall give promptly, and only upon its receipt of a request therefor from Visa Inc.). Thereafter, the Lenders shall be under no further obligation to make any Loan hereunder to such Designated Borrower.

2.26    Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, nonappealable judgment is given. The obligations of the applicable Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, such Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 12.2, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower.

2.27    Increase in Commitments.

(a)    Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify such of the Revolving Lenders as Visa Inc. may specify), Visa Inc. may, from time to time, elect to increase the Total Commitment to an amount (after giving effect to all such increases) that does not exceed U.S.$6,000,000,000; provided that (i) each increase shall be in a minimum amount of U.S.$25,000,000 and (ii) Visa Inc. may make a

maximum of five such elections. At the time of sending such notice, Visa Inc. (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each applicable Revolving Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the applicable Revolving Lenders).

(b)    Each applicable Revolving Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, the amount of such increase and whether such increase is of its Tranche A Commitment or Tranche B Commitment. Any Revolving Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment.

(c)    The Administrative Agent shall notify Visa Inc. and each applicable Revolving Lender of the applicable Revolving Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Visa Inc. may also invite Eligible Assignees to become Lenders.

(d)    If the Total Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and Visa Inc. shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Visa Inc. and the Revolving Lenders (including any new Revolving Lenders) of the final allocation of such increase and such Increase Effective Date. On or before such Increase Effective Date, each Eligible Assignee that becomes a new Revolving Lender shall execute a joinder agreement to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent is authorized and directed to amend and distribute to the Revolving Lenders (including any new Revolving Lenders) a revised Schedule 1 that gives effect to each increase in the Total Commitment and the allocation thereof among the Revolving Lenders (including any new Revolving Lenders).

(e)    If on the Increase Effective Date, there is an unpaid principal amount of Revolving Loans, the applicable Borrowers shall, on such date or on such date or dates thereafter as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify (in consultation with Visa Inc. and having regard to the avoidance of amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.5, in each case so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), borrow Revolving Loans from the Revolving Lenders and/or prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on each Increase Effective Date for the sole purpose of insuring that the Revolving Loans (including, without limitation, the Types thereof and Interest Periods with respect thereto) shall be held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata according to their revised applicable shares.

2.28    Replacement of Lenders. If any Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.6, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender or a Protesting Lender, then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Sections 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.4) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan

Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a)    Such Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 13.3.1(d);

(b)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.5) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.4 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(e)    in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling such Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.28 may, if not executed by the Lender required to make such assignment within five Business Days after such Lender is requested to execute such assignment, be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by Visa Inc. (as the attorney-in-fact and on behalf of such Lender) and the assignee and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent.

2.29    Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 8.3.

(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.1 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as

follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swing Lenders hereunder; third, as Visa Inc. may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or participation therein in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Visa Inc., to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans or participations therein under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Lender or any Swing Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Swing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders as provided herein prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Loans are held by the Lenders as required herein without giving effect to Section 2.29(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)    Commitment Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee payable under Section 2.11 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(iv)    Reallocation of Unfunded Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s unfunded participation obligations in Swing Loans shall be reallocated among the applicable Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Tranche B Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Total Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender (whether directly or by funded or unfunded participation) to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Tranche B Commitment. Subject to Section 9.14, no reallocation hereunder shall be deemed to increase the Tranche B Commitment of any Non-Defaulting Lender or decrease the Tranche B Commitment of any Defaulting Lender or constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-

Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v)    Repayment of Swing Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall, within two Business Days following written notice and request by the Administrative Agent and without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable law, prepay Swing Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure.

(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If Visa Inc., the Administrative Agent and the Swing Lenders agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the applicable Lenders (without giving effect to Section 2.29(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)    New Swing Loans. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swing Lender shall be required to fund any Swing Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Loan.

3.1    Taxes.

(a)    Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Borrower, then the Administrative Agent or such Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii)    If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the

full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(iii)    If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

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

(c)    Tax Indemnifications.

(i)    Each applicable Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.1) payable or paid by such Recipient in respect of such Borrower or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment by such Borrower to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to applicable Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each applicable Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof after demand therefor in accordance with Section 3.7(a), for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Borrower as required pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(ii) below.

(ii)    Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the applicable Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Borrower to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.2.1 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subclause (ii).

(d)    Evidence of Payments. Upon request by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.1, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e)    Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Visa Inc. and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Visa Inc. or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or the taxing authorities of a jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law or reasonably requested by Visa Inc. or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Visa Inc. or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Visa Inc. or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation either (A) set forth in Section 3.1(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below or (B) required by applicable law other than the Code or the taxing authorities of the jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law to comply with the requirements for exemption or reduction of withholding tax in that jurisdiction) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Visa Inc. and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Visa Inc. or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

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

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

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

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

(C)    any Non‑U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Visa Inc. and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non‑U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Visa Inc. or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

(iii)    Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.1 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall

update such form or certification or promptly notify Visa Inc. and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient determines in good faith that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.1, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 3.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to such Borrower pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

(g)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

3.2    Illegality. If any Lender determines in good faith that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Installation to perform any of its obligations hereunder with respect to, or to make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to, any Revolving Advance or Swing Loan or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any Currency Reference Rate, or if any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any other Agreed Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be given promptly by such Lender after the basis for such notice is known by such Lender), (i) such obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Revolving Advance or Swing Loan or continue Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Loans, Same Day Dollar Loans or Tranche B Same Day Multi-Currency Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender’s making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Daily Floating One Month

Rate, Same Day Dollar Loans or Tranche B Same Day Multi-Currency Loans, the interest rate on such Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Daily Floating One Month Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and Visa Inc. that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall, within the applicable time frame set forth below, prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Daily Floating One Month Rate), on the earlier of the last day of the Interest Period or the Maturity Date, as applicable, therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.3    Inability to Determine Rates. If in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, a Same Day Dollar Loan, a Tranche B Same Day Multi-Currency Loan or a Swing Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, as applicable, (a) the Administrative Agent or a Swing Lender, as the case may be, determines that (i) deposits (whether in Dollars or another Agreed Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period or day, as applicable, of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, a Same Day Dollar Loan, a Tranche B Same Day Multi-Currency Loan or Swing Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining any applicable Currency Reference Rate for any requested Interest Period or day, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, Same Day Dollar Loan, Tranche B Same Day Multi-Currency Loan or Swing Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or another Agreed Currency) or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to this clause (a), the “Impacted Loans”) or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the applicable Currency Reference Rate for any requested Interest Period or day, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or applicable Swing Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, Same Day Dollar Loan, Tranche B Same Day Multi-Currency Loan or Swing Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Visa Inc. and each applicable Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Same Day Dollar Loans, Tranche B Same Day Multi-Currency Loans or Swing Loans in the affected currency or currencies and for the affected Interest Period or day shall be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Daily Floating One Month Rate, the utilization of the Daily Floating One Month Rate in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders or a Swing Lender) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, any Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Same Day Dollar Loans, Tranche B Same Day Multi-Currency Loans or Swing Loans, as applicable, in the affected currency or currencies and for the affected Interest Period or day or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) of this Section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with Visa Inc. and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this Section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and Visa Inc. that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Installation to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and Visa Inc. written notice thereof.

3.4    Increased Costs.

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

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

(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender and in accordance with Section 3.7, the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)    Capital and Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender determines in good faith that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Installation of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or funded or unfunded participations in Swing Loans held by, such Lender, to

a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time upon request by such Lender and in accordance with Section 3.7, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

3.5    Compensation for Losses.

Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time in accordance with Section 3.7(a), the applicable Borrower shall promptly (and in accordance with Section 3.7) compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any actual loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)    any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan by such Borrower on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise);

(b)    any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower;

(c)    any failure by such Borrower to make payment of any Loan (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Agreed Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or

(d)    any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by such Borrower pursuant to Section 2.28;

excluding any loss of anticipated profits but including any actual foreign exchange losses and any actual loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The applicable Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by any Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.5, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Base Rate used in determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was, when funded by such Lender, funded at such rate.

3.6    Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders .

(a)    Designation of a Different Lending Installation. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4, or requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1,

or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.2, then at the request of Visa Inc. such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Installation for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.1 or 3.4, as the case may be, in the future or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.2, as applicable and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Installation in accordance with Section 3.6(a), Visa Inc. may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 2.28.

3.7    Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

(a)    Certificates for Reimbursement. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any indemnified amounts, additional amounts, or compensation pursuant to Sections 3.1(c)(i), 3.4 or 3.5, it shall promptly deliver a certificate (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) to Visa Inc. or applicable Borrower setting forth, in reasonable detail, the indemnified amount or amounts, the additional amount or amounts, or the compensation to be paid to it hereunder and the basis and calculation thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrowers or applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 20 days after receipt thereof.

(b)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 3.4 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Visa Inc. or applicable Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor if such increased costs or reductions would not have been imposed absent such failure or delay on the part of the Lender to notify the applicable Borrower within the 180-day period; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof; and provided, further, that no Lender shall claim any compensation pursuant to Section 3.4 unless such Lender is generally seeking similar compensation from similarly situated borrowers under agreements relating to similar credit transactions that include provisions similar to Section 3.4 and the compensation claimed pursuant to Section 3.4 is not in a disproportionate amount to the compensation sought from such similarly situated borrowers.

3.8    Survival. All obligations of the Borrowers under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and any resignation of the Administrative Agent.

4.1    Conditions to Closing Date. The occurrence of the Closing Date is subject to the conditions precedent that (a) there shall not have occurred a material adverse change since September 30, 2015 in the business, properties, financial condition or results of operations of Visa Inc. and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) evidence that all amounts payable by the applicable Borrowers under the Existing Agreement have been (or concurrently with the making of the initial Loans will be) paid in full and the commitments of the lenders under the Existing Agreement have been (or concurrently with the making of the initial Loans will be) terminated, (ii) for the account of each Lender, any upfront fees previously agreed to between the applicable Borrowers and the Lenders, (iii) for the account of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, all fees which are then due and payable pursuant to the Fee Letters and (iv) each of the following items, each of which shall be originals or telecopies and/or .pdfs (followed promptly by originals, if applicable) unless otherwise specified and each dated the Closing Date (or, in the case of certificates of governmental officials, a recent date before the Closing Date):

Without limiting the generality of the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, for purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 4.1, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

4.2    Initial Loan to Each Designated Borrower    . The obligation of each Lender to make an initial Loan to each Designated Borrower is subject to the receipt by the Administrative Agent on or before the date of such initial Advance of each of the following items, each of which shall be originals or telecopies and/or .pdfs (followed promptly by originals, if applicable) unless otherwise specified and each dated the date such Designated Borrower became a party hereto in accordance with Section 2.25 (or, in the case of certificates of governmental officials, a recent date before such date):

4.3    Each Revolving Advance or Swing Loan. No Lender shall be required to make any Revolving Loan or Swing Loan (other than with respect to any continuation or conversion of a Revolving Loan pursuant to a Conversion/Continuation Notice) unless on the applicable Borrowing Date:

(a)    There exists no Default or Event of Default.

(b)    The representations and warranties contained in Article V (other than Sections 5.5 and 5.7, unless such Borrowing Date is the Closing Date) are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representation or warranty already qualified as to materiality, in all respects) as of such Borrowing Date except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representation or warranty already qualified as to materiality, in all respects) on and as of such earlier date.

(c)    The Administrative Agent shall have received a Revolving Advance Borrowing Notice or a Swing Loan Borrowing Notice, as applicable.

(d)    If the applicable Borrower is a Designated Borrower, then the conditions of Section 2.25 to the designation of such Borrower as a Designated Borrower shall have been met.

Each Revolving Advance Borrowing Notice, with respect to any Revolving Advance, and each Swing Loan Borrowing Notice, with respect to a Swing Loan, shall constitute a representation and warranty by Visa Inc. and the applicable Borrower that the conditions contained in Sections 4.3(a) and (b) have been satisfied.

Visa Inc. represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

5.1    Existence and Standing. Each Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.

5.2    Authorization and Validity. The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of the Loan Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, are within such Borrower’s corporate or other applicable organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other applicable organizational action. The Loan Documents to which each Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

5.3    No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by any Borrower of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate (a) any Law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) such Borrower’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, bylaws or operating or other similar governing document, as the case may be or (c) the provisions of any material indenture, instrument or agreement to which such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on the Property of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such material indenture, instrument or agreement, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any Governmental Authority, which has not been obtained by each applicable Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, is required to be obtained by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings under this Agreement, the payment and performance by such Borrower of the Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, except to the extent the failure to obtain any such order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration, or exemption would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.4    Financial Statements. The September 30, 2015 audited consolidated financial statements of Visa Inc. (which do not contain a “going concern” or like qualification or exception), heretofore delivered or otherwise made available to the Lenders, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date such statements were prepared and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and operations of Visa Inc. and its Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the periods then ended.

5.5    Material Adverse Change. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.7 hereto and except with respect to any settlement loss relating to or in connection with Section 9.01 of Visa International’s By-Laws and similar provisions in the By Laws and operating regulations of Visa, Inc. and its Subsidiaries incurred during such period due to the failure of a member bank which will be recovered pursuant to a recovery plan which has been adopted by the Board of Directors of

Visa International or the Board of Directors of any regional affiliate of Visa Inc., including but not limited to the Board of Directors of Visa U.S.A. Inc., since September 30, 2015 there has been no change in the business, Property, financial condition or results of operations of Visa Inc. and its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.6    Taxes. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal and other material tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes thereunder which are due and payable, including interest and penalties, except (a) any that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceeding and for which adequate reserves have been established by such Borrower or its applicable Subsidiary (to the extent required by GAAP) or (b) where failure to do so would, individually or in the aggregate, not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.7    Litigation. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.7 hereto, there is no pending or threatened (in writing) action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding affecting any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.8    [Intentionally Omitted].

5.9    [Intentionally Omitted].

5.10    Accuracy of Information. The information, exhibit or report furnished by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents, taken as a whole, is correct in all material respects and does not, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made.

5.11    Regulation U. No Borrower is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U) and no proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock in violation of the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. Following the application of the proceeds of any Borrowing, not more than 25% of the value of the assets of any Borrower or of any Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be margin stock.

5.12    OFAC and Anti-Corruption Laws. (a) Each Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by such Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with any economic or financial sanctions or trade embargoes imposed, administered or enforced from time to time by the U.S. government, any applicable foreign government, or any agency thereof, including those administered by OFAC, the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, or Her Majesty’s Treasury (“Sanctions”) and any Laws concerning or relating to anti-bribery or anti-corruption; (b) no Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof nor, to the knowledge of any Borrower, any director, officer, employee or agent of any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof

is a Sanctioned Person or is in violation of any applicable Sanctions or any anti-bribery or anti-corruption Laws; and (c) no Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans in violation of applicable Sanctions or any Laws concerning or relating to anti-bribery or anti-corruption.

5.13    Compliance With Laws. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable material Laws of any United States or foreign Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property, noncompliance with which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.14    Ownership of Properties. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, on the date of this Agreement, Visa Inc. or one of its Subsidiaries has good title, free of all Liens other than those permitted by Section 6.12, to all of their Property and assets.

5.15    Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. No Borrower is an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3‑101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code), and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Loans hereunder gives rise to a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

5.16    Environmental Matters. Neither any Borrower nor any Material Subsidiary has any liability under applicable Environmental Laws that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which noncompliance or remedial action would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.17    Investment Company Act. Neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

5.18    ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred, and no Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate is aware of any fact, event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an ERISA Event with respect to any Plan, in each case, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have met all applicable requirements under the Pension Funding Rules in respect of each Plan, and no waiver of the minimum funding standards under the Pension Funding Rules has been applied for or obtained. The excess, if any, of the present value of all accrued benefits under each Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan), as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, over the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Plan to which any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate contributes is a multiemployer plan (within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA). Each Plan is and has been in all material respects operated and

administered in accordance with its provisions and applicable law. No Unfunded Liabilities under ERISA exist with respect to any Plan, which such Unfunded Liabilities would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

During the term of this Agreement, unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing:

(h)    promptly after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any material change in accounting policies or financial reporting practices by Visa Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries (except as required by GAAP, which material changes will be described in the financial statements reflecting such material changes); and

(i)    such other information respecting the condition or operations, financial or otherwise, of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as any Lender through the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a), (b) or (d) (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which Visa Inc.

Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the any Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. Each Borrower hereby

agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof (it being understood that documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shall be deemed to be “PUBLIC” and shall not be required to be so marked); (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” such Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to such Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities Laws; (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

6.2    Use of Proceeds. Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds of the Loans only (a) to refinance existing Indebtedness, (b) to ensure the integrity of the settlement process of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the event of a settlement failure by a member and (c) for general corporate purposes not in contravention of any Laws.

6.3    Notice of Default. Each Borrower will notify (or cause another Borrower to notify) the Administrative Agent promptly, and in any event within five Business Days after any Authorized Officer of such Borrower has knowledge thereof, of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

6.4    Conduct of Business. Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its Material Subsidiaries to: (a) carry on and conduct its business in substantially the same fields of enterprise as it is presently conducted;(b) except as permitted by Section 6.10, do all things necessary to remain duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing as a corporation, partnership or limited liability company in its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, as the case may be; and (c) except where failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, take commercially reasonable steps to maintain all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted.

6.5    Taxes. Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, timely file (taking into account any timely extensions to file) complete and correct United States federal and applicable foreign, state and local tax returns required by law and pay when due all taxes, assessments and governmental charges and levies upon it or its income, profits or Property, except (a) those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with GAAP (to the extent required thereby) or (b) where failure to do so would, individually or in the aggregate, not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.7    Compliance with Laws. Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable Laws, except to the extent failure to so comply could not, individually or in the aggregate for all such failures, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, do all things necessary to maintain, preserve, protect and keep its Property in good repair, working order and condition, and make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals and replacements so that its business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, in each case except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.9    Inspection. Upon reasonable advance notice, during normal business hours and with such frequency as may be reasonably requested (but not more than once per fiscal year unless an Event of Default exists), each Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, by their respective representatives and agents, to inspect any of the Property, books and financial records of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries, to examine and make copies of the books of accounts and other financial records of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries with their respective officers, all at the individual expense of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (coordinated through the Administrative Agent) may exercise their rights under this Section at the expense of the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.9, none of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making of extracts, or discussion of, any documents, information or other matter that (a) in respect of which disclosure to Administrative Agent (or any designated representative or agent or employee) or any Lender is then prohibited by law or (b) is subject to attorney client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product.

6.11    [Intentionally Omitted].

6.12    Liens. No Borrower will, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, unless such Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the Notes

provided that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.12, no Borrower shall create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, any Lien on or with respect to any shares of stock of any of its Subsidiaries.

part of its Property) shall occur; or any Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this Section 7.5.

7.6    Any final, nonappealable judgment or order for the payment of money in excess of U.S.$200,000,000 (excluding any portion thereof paid or covered by insurance so long as coverage has not been denied) on a claim or claims shall be rendered against any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and either (i) enforcement proceedings shall have been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or order on or after the date any payment is due and payable under the terms of such judgment or order and shall not have been stayed within 60 days after such enforcement proceedings are commenced or (ii) there is a period of 60 consecutive days during which such judgments or orders shall not have been paid, vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded.

(a) If any Event of Default described in Section 7.5 occurs with respect to any Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Event of Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the written consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower hereby expressly waives.

(b)    If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Event of Default (other than any Event of Default as described in Section 7.5 with respect to any Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2    [Reserved.].

unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and Visa Inc., and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a)    waive any condition set forth in Section 4.1 without the written consent of each Lender;

(b)    extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, other than as provided for in Section 8.1) without the written consent of such Lender; provided that the Swing Commitment of any Swing Lender may be increased with the consent of only the Borrowers and such Swing Lender;

(c)    postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(d)    reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or (subject to subclause (iii) of the second proviso to this Section 8.3) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend Section 2.15 or waive any obligation of any Borrower to pay interest as set forth in Section 2.15;

(e)    change Section 12.2 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

and, provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the affected Swing Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of such Swing Lender under this Agreement, (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) the Fee Letters may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto and (iv) Schedule 1 may be amended by the Administrative Agent as

provided in the last sentence of Section 13.3.1 or to otherwise give effect to amendments or modifications effected pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

8.4    Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under any Loan Document shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or the inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.3, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

9.1    Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Revolving Advance or Swing Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Revolving Advance, Swing Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

9.2    [Intentionally Omitted]    .

9.3    Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents.

9.4    Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof.

9.5    Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns; provided that the parties hereto expressly agree that each Arranger shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9.6, 9.9 and 10.7 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement.

9.6    Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (in the case of fees and charges of counsel, limited to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender), and shall pay all reasonable fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b)    Each Borrower shall indemnify the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Indemnitees, unless the Indemnitees have conflicting interests that cannot reasonably be represented by one counsel, in which case such expenses shall include the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of no more than such number of counsels as are necessary to represent such conflicting interests), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of hazardous waste or substance on or from any Property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,

whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) result from a claim brought by any Borrower against such Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) result from a claim brought by the Administrative Agent, an Arranger or a Lender (or any of their Related Parties) against the Administrative Agent, an Arranger or any other Lender (or any of their Related Parties) (other than in such Indemnitee’s capacity as an agent or arranger or similar role) if such claim does not arise out of any act or omission of any Borrower. This Section 9.6(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)    To the extent that any Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on the percentage that the aggregate Commitments of such Lender hereunder is of the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders, or, if all the Commitments have been terminated or have expired, the percentage that the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations owed (including by way of funded participations) to such Lender hereunder is of the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations owed (including by way of funded participations) to all the Lenders hereunder) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Arrangers in their capacity as such, the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Arrangers or the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity; provided that nothing contained in this clause (c) shall limit the indemnification obligations of any Borrower set forth in clause (b) of this Section 9.6, and each Lender may exercise any rights or remedies arising by reason of any performance by it of its indemnification obligations hereunder, whether by subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or otherwise, against any Borrower. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.16(f).

(d)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this clause (d) shall limit

the indemnification obligations of any Borrower set forth in clause (b) of this Section 9.6, including such Borrower’s obligation to indemnify each Indemnitee for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of the matters described in clause (b).

Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.8, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or the Swing Lenders, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

The breach by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section shall not be used by any Borrower as a defense to payment of, or the basis for set-off against or the failure to pay, any sums due hereunder.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i)(A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are

solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no Borrower shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

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

10.3    Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers:

(a)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers are required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall not be required to take any action that, in their respective opinion or the opinion of their respective counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; and

(c)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number

or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.1 and 8.3) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers by a Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers.

10.4    Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed in good faith by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed in good faith by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.5    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care; provided that the Administrative Agent shall give Visa Inc. prior written notice of the delegation of any of its material duties to any such agent or sub-agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent

jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

10.6    Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a)    The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Visa Inc. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of Visa Inc. at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of Visa Inc. shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Visa Inc. and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of Visa Inc. at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of Visa Inc. shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.1(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the

other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.6 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

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

10.8    No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agents or other agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender.

10.9    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 9.6) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements

and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 9.6.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(s)    any other circumstance whatsoever (other than payment in full) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

11.2.2    To the fullest extent permitted by law, Visa Inc. expressly waives, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, (a) all diligence, promptness, presentment, demand for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever, (b) any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Borrower

under any Loan Document or other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) all notices of acceptance of this Article XI or of the existence, creation, incurring or assumption of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations, (d) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal and (e) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties.

11.3    Reinstatement. The obligations of Visa Inc. under this Article XI shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

11.4    Subrogation. Visa Inc. hereby agrees that, until the final payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration or termination of the Commitments under this Agreement, it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 11.1, whether by subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or otherwise, against the other Borrowers or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

11.5    Remedies. Visa Inc. agrees that, as between Visa Inc. and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Article VII) for purposes of Section 11.1, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations of any other Borrower shall forthwith become due and payable by Visa Inc. for purposes of said Section 11.1.

11.6    Payments. All payments by Visa Inc. under this Article XI shall be made without deduction, set-off or counterclaim at the place specified in Section 2.16.

11.7    Solvency. Visa Inc. represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that, as of the Closing Date, it is Solvent.

12.1    Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Event of Default under Section 7.2 occurs and is continuing, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender to or for the credit or account of such Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such

Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due; provided that this Section 12.1 shall not apply to amounts attributable or in any way related to the clearing and settlement of Visa card products or travelers checks or any other transaction for which any Borrower performs clearing or settlement services; and provided further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over by such Defaulting Lender immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.29 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

12.2    Ratable Payments. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.16(d), if any Revolving Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Revolving Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.4 or 3.5 or as otherwise provided herein) or its participation in Swing Loans in a greater proportion than that received by any other Revolving Lender, such Revolving Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Revolving Loans (or such participations in Swing Loans) held by the other Revolving Lenders so that after such purchase each Revolving Lender will hold its pro rata share of all Revolving Loans (and all participations in Swing Loans), as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that this Section 12.2 shall be applied separately with respect to each Borrower, so that any payment made by or on account of any Borrower shall not give rise to an obligation to purchase Loans made to any other Borrower.

13.1    Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that, except as otherwise permitted herein, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (a) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3, (b) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2 or (c) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 13.3.3 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 13.2 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

13.2    Participations.

13.2.1    Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Swing Loans) owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (c) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (d) except in the case of any such participation sold to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, each such participation shall be in an amount of not less than U.S.$10,000,000, or shall be in an amount of such Lender’s entire remaining Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.6(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 8.3 that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 13.2.2, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.4 and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.3 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.1(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.3; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.6 and 2.28 as if it were an assignee under Section 13.3 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.1 or 3.4 or 3.5, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Visa Inc.’s prior written consent. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.6 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.1 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in

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

13.2.2    Limitation upon Participant Rights. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.6 as though it were a Lender.

13.3    Assignments.

13.3.1    Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 13.3.1, participations in Swing Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that:

(a)    except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender (determined after giving effect to such assignment), the aggregate amount of the Commitment assigned (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than U.S.$10,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Visa Inc. otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(b)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (b) shall not apply to a Swing Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Loans without the consent of Visa Inc. which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(c)    (i) any assignment of a Tranche A Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Visa Inc. (provided that such approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender or an Eligible Affiliate or Approved Fund (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee), (ii) any assignment of a Tranche B Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, each Swing Lender and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Visa Inc. (provided that such approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender or an Eligible Affiliate or Approved Fund (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee) and (iii) any assignment by a Swing Lender of any Commitment to make Swing Loans must be approved by Visa Inc. unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(d)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee (payable by the assignor Lender or the assignee Lender) in the amount of U.S.$3,500, unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire; and

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.3.2, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from

its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.4, 3.5 and 9.6 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.3.1 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.2. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to amend Schedule 1 from time to time to reflect any assignment or transfer pursuant to this Section 13.3.1 or Section 2.28, and the addition of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.27 and to deliver such amended Schedule 1 to the Borrowers and each Lender.

13.3.2    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at its applicable Lending Installation within the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Loans (including principal and interest) are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of any Lender or its assigns in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. This Section 13.3.2 shall be construed so that the Loans (including principal and interest) are at all times maintained in “registered form” under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

13.3.3    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

13.3.4    Electronic Execution of Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation

Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, Revolving Advance Borrowing Notices, Swing Loan Borrowing Notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary neither the Administrative Agent nor any Swing Lender nor any Borrower shall be under any obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by it pursuant to procedures agreed by it.

13.3.5    Resignation as Swing Lender after Total Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Swing Lender assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 13.3.1 (other than its Commitment to make Swing Loans and Swing Loans outstanding under such Commitment), such Swing Lender may, upon 30 days’ notice to Visa Inc., resign as a Swing Lender. In the event of any such resignation as a Swing Lender, Visa Inc. shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Swing Lender hereunder (subject to the consent of such proposed successor Swing Lender); provided, however, that no failure by Visa Inc. to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the retiring Swing Lender as a Swing Lender. If any Swing Lender resigns as a Swing Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a Swing Lender provided for hereunder with respect to its Swing Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.24. Upon the appointment of a successor Swing Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Lender.

13.4    Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Eligible Assignee which is organized under the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Revolving Lender shall cause such Eligible Assignee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.1.

14.1    Notices. (a) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in clause (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile as follows, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

(i)    if to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Swing Lenders, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 3; and

(ii)    if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number at its applicable Lending Installation.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent upon the sender’s receipt of confirmation of proper transmission (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in clause (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such clause (b).

(b)    Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e‑mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to service of process on any Lender or notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent and Visa Inc. that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or any Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing subclause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c)    The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined

by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability arising therefrom to any Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

14.2    Change of Address. Each of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Swing Lenders may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (or, in the case of any Borrower, by notice to the Administrative Agent). Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Swing Lenders. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to any Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities Laws.

14.3    Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if (a) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein or (b) the terms thereof, as understood in good faith by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the good faith reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of such Borrower, so long as such Persons are not grossly negligent in so relying. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement shall be effective when it has been executed by each Borrower party hereto on the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each party has notified the Administrative Agent by facsimile or .pdf transmission that it has taken such action.

16.1    CHOICE OF LAW. This agreement and all of the other loan documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

16.2    CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT; PROVIDED THAT IF FOR ANY REASON SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS CANNOT OR WILL NOT ACCEPT JURISDICTION OVER ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, THE EXCLUSIVITY OF JURISDICTION OF SUCH NEW YORK STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SHALL NOT APPLY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

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

16.4    USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower

and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower in accordance with the Act.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
